      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.

      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.

      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.

      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!

      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!

      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.
