Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

It's... Wait. It is a plane.

But not just any plane! It's a HUGE military plane with tiny planes inside! How about that?

Clark Kent and Lois Lane are out to cover the story on this massive machine, but this is during World War II, meaning that there's a bunch of evil Japanese spies running around. Join Max Fleischer's extremely well-animated Superman as he has to deal with both the great Japanese threat AND Lois' racism. This looks like a job for Hecklevision!

Thanks for the reviews

Yeah, this was more of a prototype to start us off before we did anything feature length. We thought it would be a good way to test the waters and see what we'd have to work on in the long run. All in all, I thought it came out pretty well and somewhat better than I expected, but there are both the sound issues and the delivery issues. Especially for me, since I sound a bit obnoxious and confused at times. This was my first time really recording my voice for anything, so I was having trouble adapting there. Luckily, all those problems have been cleaned up for our next project, Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins. My delivery is MUCH better and I've gotten a lot better at working the microphone. Plus the source material is riper than you can imagine. Everything is going to be all right... Rockabye.

Keep at it

This was a decent start, but you just need to work at it some more. The sound quality is a big issue, obviously, but I don't think it's a problem you need new equipment to fix. Some of the jokes were funny, but suffered from off delivery. The overall energy level could be improved also, though it wasn't bad. Pretty much all you need to do is keep doing this and you will start to improve.

Needs work

The sound mixing is pretty bad. I couldn't hear the video at all, yet the riffs were clipping. The jokes were alright, but it sometimes seemed like the deliveries were wrong-- kind of like the riffer was seeing the jokes for the first time. Other times the jokes were not quite where they were supposed to be. Overall, I think you needed to take another pass at this before releasing it. I think it could've been quite good had a bit more work been put in.

4 out of 5 from me. Really

4 out of 5 from me. Really hilarious! The sound obviously needs to be fixed, but you guys know that.

Awesome!

Sound quality is a bit weak, you guys need better mics, but the riffs are perfect! My only suggestion is that, for a three-riffer project, there wasn't a lot of riffing WITH each other. It might have well have been three separate solo tracks edited together. But still, very funny. Favorite Riff: "Um, maim, that's a Fruit Roll-Up."

This fatso holding a white wine might need a cochlear implant, because I heard this just fine. Good work gentlemen!

Sound issues

Not bad, but the sound from the original short was a little hard to hear.
