Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 1, 2010.
Pledge $2 or more
You get a thank you and a high five. (High five is non-transferable and to be delivered at a time and place of our earliest mutual convenience.)
Pledge $12 or more
The above plus a couple of sweet stickers for the film and or Newgrounds. They look good on a binder or bumper. You get thanked on the film’s website.
Pledge $20 or more
The above plus you get thanked in the film’s credits under “Donors” and you’ll receive a free digital download of the completed film.
Pledge $25 or more
The above plus a sweet EBE poster and a two-handed high five.
Pledge $35 or more
The above, plus a signed DVD copy of the film and one of those Top Gun style “windmill” high fives.
Pledge $50 or more
The above, but your DVD will be a “Special Edition” version with a bunch of extra content.
Pledge $100 or more
The above plus a personal tour of the Newgrounds office (you must transport yourself to Philadelphia, Pa) and a t-shirt from the film (probably from Cafepress). I will arrange for one of the Newgrounds guys to beat you at a video game of your choice.
Pledge $250 or more
The above plus I'll get you in to a screening of the film at whatever festival it plays in that you can get to. I'll also buy you a beer afterwards. (If you're under 21, it will be significantly afterwards.) Also, your t-shirt will be a custom designed, limited edition one made by me specifically thanking you. (Unless you like the standard one better.)
Pledge $500 or more
The above plus an invitation to a special screening party event in Philadelphia (again, you must transport yourself to Philadelphia, Pa).
Pledge $1,000 or more
The above plus one of the remaining handmade Dad 'N Me plush toys (http://www.newgrounds.com/store/product/dad-n-me-plush), a jacket from the film and other secret prizes, TBD. You get thanked in the films credits under “Super Donors” and I will include an extra cartoon on the DVD wherein you are thanked by name.
Pledge $2,500 or more
The above plus I and an animator or two will come to your house with an autographed DVD and do a live directors commentary track in your living room and a Q&A afterwards all of which we can record and put on a special custom edition DVD just for you (and possibly future editions, but not if you want it all to yourself). (Transportation costs may or may not apply and will be negotiated when the time comes.) You will be listed in the film’s credits under the honorary title of “Associate Producer” or something similar. In fact, you can pick any title you want. You can be listed as “The King of France” if you like. I will publicly thank you at every opportunity. "And of course, I couldn't have done it without "YOUR NAME HERE!"
Pledge $5,000 or more
All of the above plus the opening titles of the film will contain "In Association with YOUR NAME OR COMPANY HERE..." It'll look pretty impressive.

Hey, so it's been four months since the last update. How are things coming along?
Again, its been 4 months. Is everything going alright?
Hate to nag, but when are you going to do another update? Its been nearly 4 months!
Cant wait till this is finished!
Congratulations on the success of the project, can't wait for the end result. I was wondering when the confirmation emails for the backers was going to come out, the last update was Sep. 5 or so, and I haven't checked my email in quite a while, hope I didn't miss anything.
Um, thanks... mom.
updates are terrific...tks. looking forward to watching this exciting journey
all The Best are with you
Well, I did make a promise, of sorts. Of course, I didn't receive any confirmation of funny bits about snarky reviewers on Newgrounds, so it was a normal gesture. In any case, I can't wait to see the end result of this mayhem.
Yay spam!
I know I'm not the one making the film so I probably shouldn't even be saying this, but my only gripe about the trailer is the music, which sometimes competes with the interviews. Again, not my movie, but just something I took note of.
Awesome! $13,308!
If I donate $20, can I STILL get my name in the Credits?
Good luck! Can't wait to see the film.
Hooray! We made it!
W00T
You did it... everyone here did it!
just wanted to congrats everyone
I was not expecting a THIRD big spender here. Congratulations Nathan. I can't wait for my special DVD when this thing comes out.
Congratulations Nathan! Was there ever any doubt? Not from me!
Sorry. It's actually $3,000.
Someone pledged $2,000? Either that or it's a mistake. If it's for real, awesome!
this is soooooo close! good luck!
Bump'd. (The $5 I earned plus the cost of the shirt you gave me.) Happy to help.
Pleased to bump up my pledge today - things sound like they're going well...
GREAT IDEA! Congrats.
If I gave you a dollar for every time New Grounds showed me something freakin' amazing, I'd owe you a lot more than I could donate. Still, I make this measly offering as a token of my adoration. I'm so excited to see this film!
Aight, I just put in my two bits, things are looking really close,!
Just donated some money! Since I was lucky enough to get the animation I'm currently working on sponsored by Newgrounds, I figured I could use some of that money to back this project! Can't wait to see this finished!
I have grown up with Newgrounds. It wouldn't feel right if I didn't help out a little.
Just jacked my pledge up to $50. Why not? UK exchange rate is a beauty for this kinda thing.
I wonder how you're going to dish out the DVDs.
This will definitely make it and I am glad to contribute!
To whoever pledged $2500, if I ever meet you I will buy you numerous drinks of your choice.
I updated my pledge to include all the money I raised by walking around Comic-Con with the shirt that read, "Squeeze my ManBoob for $1 and support independent film." (An additional $46.24)
It's too good to be true!
Whoo! Just hit the halfway mark, congratulations!
From the FAQ:
"I'm a non-US Amazon account holder and I can't make a pledge, what's up with that?"
If you are a non-US Amazon Mechanical Turk user you may experience a problem trying to pledge. You'll need to create a new Amazon Payments account during check-out. Sorry this is annoying. We've alerted Amazon about this bug.
I have a problem supporting, as the amazon payment system insists on listing my country as United States.
Good luck!
Fanfuckingtastic idea. Honored to be able to help.
Days are running short! This one needs more backers! :D
i wish this thing went deeper into september.. im in school til then and dont work much. I shall give you twenty dollars though you sexy idea of a film you.
I wouldn't feel right if I didn't back this. Newgrounds was a big part of my development as an artist and animator.
I want to see this movie!
Yes, I am always for anything Newgrounds!
I'll back you once I get paid this week ^_^
I'll bet you reach your goal by the end of the week.
This is amazing and needs to be finished.
