WoW Moviewatch: Flapping Feast

Here's an endearing little film called Flapping Feast from Tinkersmith Productions. It brings us that universally heartwarming story of a boy and his... um, chicken. Well, the chicken's a man, actually. And the boy is a middle-aged gnome named Falkireohan Tinkersmith the Second. But nonetheless! As I was saying... This film tells the tale of a gnome whose self-defense spell against a ganker goes horribly wrong and, in his guilt, Falkie tries to set things right as much as he can. The story logic is, assuredly, like a Grimm fairy tale -- the only way a man-who-thinks-he's-a-chicken can live happily ever after is if he has a pullet for a bride? -- and it has a feel to it without much of a character arc, but choosing a child to voice the 50-ish gnome and the folk-taleaccented English somehow works for me. And anyone who doesn't crack up laughing at the music which plays over the credits needs to get their funny bone examined. You may want to also view the sequel called Flapping Feast 2, but I didn't find it as charming as the original.

Cute movie I guess, but how about we stop featuring movies with www.fraps.com at the top? Seriously.. the program's like what, $29.99?
Or even better, just buy a mac since WoW has built-in video recorders on the mac.

I liked it. It was cute, it didn't try to choke on a premise more grandiose than it could deliver. None of the shots were static, and considering what they had to go with to make the guy act like a chicken, they did just fine portraying it.

This movie is like a grade-school play. It's charming, if you take into account that it appears to have been made by an 8 year old. There are some concepts that are not necessarily wise to explore.
