Very Well Done
I liked this qute a bit. It was short, but good for an introduction. I know you said you may not get to continue, but if you do I have a feeling it would be a staple on Newgrounds, so you've got something to shoot for on that. As a Flash Artist myself, I can appreciate time as I find little time to get things done, so I understand if you don't get to keep going.
My score breakdown:
Graphics: 8. They were pretty good with some good use of colors. Everything seemed to fit togeth well.
Style: 8 Animation was pretty smooth and you set the tone well.
Sound: Was great music and voice acting was good. In one line there was a little "POP' but no big deal.
Violence: 2. Not really any. Just some blood on the lion. Not a bad thing, though. I wish they'd get rid of this option or make an N/A option.
Interactivity: 1. Same as violence. Not a game, only one button.
Humor: 3. Not a humerous Flash, but not supposed to be. I gave yo ua 3 because of your commentary about not getting our hopes up.
Overall: A well-deserved 9. It has definite potential as a series if you were to continue.
Best of Luck and congrats on Daily 5th!!
