Hilarious! I thought that ending made the whole video.

The animation has a style to it, but it could be honed a little more to make it your own and maybe more appealing. Also, that ending music; as much as it made sense that it sounded terrible, (which, I think, is what you were going for) it kind of blew up my speakers, so just watch out for things like that in your animations after this. Unless you want to blow peoples' speakers up, in which case, well played!

I completely agree with you, and I'm one of the animators of Bowser's Kingdom! I understand where you're coming from though, and would much prefer seeing awesome animations like the Brackenwood series, for example, than parodies... and there is an overwhelming amount of parodies on Newgrounds. There are also a great many animations that hardly break through the 4/5 points range and some don't make it past the 3/5 range and they are really good cartoons, and games, and deserve way more credit than they got. Originality is a hard thing to come by these days, because everything has been done, and it almost seems as though the only way to be original is to be artsy which understandably you also mocked, because every artsy video has the same basic gist and vibe to it. Perhaps more people will watch this video and veer away from making their own parody, and try their hand at original stories, characters, and styles, but at the same time, like the Naked Gun movies are just fantastic, some parodies on NG are as well.
