I liked it. Light-hearted humor. Not the kind of thing to hold my attention forever, but not bad at all.
You've got one main problem. You need to optimize audio so the filesize isn't so large. In your case, it's forgivable because the flash actually has some substance, but in the future I would suggest learning about audio optimization to make everything a little bit easier.

Thank you for your constructive critisism. This is the kind of review that I love to see! I will research more about file optimization.

Great style to it, and quite unique as well. It's nice, light hearted humor as well. Done very professionally. Nice job.

That was amazing. I loved it. The actions, facial expressions, and of course sound were all hilarious. It was quite stylish too with the blue outline.

I usually don't like the majority of stop motion films made here on NG, but this one was exceptionally well made. Of course it wasn't perfect, but it got the job done. Lots of humor, and a large array of toys at your disposal made for good variety.
Watch Harry Potter's hand movement when he is speaking. I feel so dirty.
Good job.
P.S. I bet you're embarrassed to have all those Pokemon toys

It's violent imagery.
Anyways, nice flash you have here. Mixing opposites creates an odd effect. Although it was a neat idea, I really didn't like the song, so I gave sound a low score.
Your biggest problem is that nothing happens. There is barely any change in movement and none in scenery. Makes for a boring film.
But it still had something. Keep going.

It was pretty good for a first, however, if you can't make a movie with sound, you have to work a little harder on the dialogue. Some of what was said simply wasn't realistic. There were many spelling and grammatical errors as well.
The graphics were decent, and the story flowed well.
Despite my beef with all the typing, I am voting to protect.

It's cool to see an experimental (or at least I thought so) piece make it to the front page. Some of it reminded me of the "Rejected" video, and I don't doubt that you were influenced by it.
Although it was short, I quite enjoyed your submission. However, my one problem was the sound. It was used very well, and I have no problem with noise for art, but the quality was lacking and left something to be desired (especially the ending song - my ears hurt).
Overall an interesting piece.

You can do it, but it will take a while. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to making flash.
First of all, learn to optimize your audio so the filesize isn't so large.
I would say you should animate the story rather than narrating it because you will have more time with the song, and the ending will be more powerful. To elaborate, SHOW him being discriminated against and coming to the end of his path.
It's not good to have the song keep running at the end. Doesn't look professional at all. A replay function would be nice.
Use spell check if you have to and fix out all the typos. Maybe use a more appealing font.
Now that I've given you something to work with, go out and fix this puppy up.

I'd say you did a pretty good job because I don't usually like sprite movies much, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Made me smile. Keep it up.

It had all the elements required for the genre. Even with the violence, you maintained a light mood with the music. Well done. My only complaint is regarding the credit music. I just feel like it didn't suit the film very well, and also the quality seemed to be a little low (crackling). But that could just be my crappy PC.
A job well done.
