      Sucks that it wasn't funded, but how about restarting it and making it a uncle ruckus animated short or webisodes. Not sure if this will be less expensive or more, but I think there's fans out there...for me personally I signed up last minute...It was a cool idea but live action didn't really excite me too much.

      Brandon Zarzyczny, careful, buddy. Your sense of entitlement is showing.

      Sorry about the project, Aaron, Gary, and others. Whatever comes from this, I happily anticipate! Thanks for calling me, Uncle Ruckus.

      I only donated 1 dollar, mainly because none of the rewards were interesting, which is why I think you failed, along with the fact that your fans are fans of your cartoons, not anything live action. You really should have had a digital download tier for 10 or 15 dollars, instead of all of the music downloads which didn't make any sense, I mean are you making a movie or an album? Also you probably should have had a longer campaign, and a shorter goal, unless you really think you need 200,000 dollars to do a live action indie comedy movie.

      you should have done it for 60 days and you would have gotten the funding.

      plus if you had asked for $100,000 to do a live action "documentary" a day in the life of uncle rukus you would have gotten the funding.

      Creator James K. Holder II on March 1

      I'm a starving artist but I pledged the little I could because I believe in Aaron's talent and creative judgement and wanted to do something to help out. It's bothering me to read these 11th hour suggestions (no matter how true they may be). To the team I want to congratulate you on putting on a valiant effort in pursuit of this goal. It seems like much has been gained in terms of awareness and knowledge about the project. This is just the beginning. Take what you've learned and the impact you've made and keep going. Good luck and I'll be looking for a relaunch if it comes to that to again lend my support.

      Creator strongspank on February 28

      Chris Olson understands. I love the idea of an Uncle Ruckus movie, but even though I know that it won't interfere with season 4 of the Boondocks, I still get a weird pit in my stomach when it comes to this kick starter. I think it is resentment. I would totally be throwing money at this if it included some sweet posters of Huey and/or Riley action shots. I am a sucker for posters.

      “IM THE JUDGE JUDY IN THIS MUTHAF**KER!!!” ok being serious for once…I’ve got to agree with
      Chris, Kai ,and many other backers that this project prob needs at least a 2 month window. I’ve got a lot more I could say but I’d just be repeating what other people already said.

    30. Missing_small

      Creator Chris Olson on February 28

      To Aaron McGruder/Project Manager:

      I'm assuming that this project won't get funded with the time remaining. That said, I think it's fairly clear why, which can be summed up primarily as "give the people what they want." Note: the following is solely my opinion and should be taken as such.

      - Facebook is useful in some aspects, but shouldn't be used as a primary communication tool with backers (potential or otherwise). Same goes for Google+.

      - One month timeline (especially when two months is possible) is too short for some people to pledge, especially around tax return season.

      - Regardless of the goals of this project, people (fans) still want to know about other work, particularly Season 4.

      - Given modern technology, pledge tiers (at reasonable prices) for Blu-ray, DVD, HD download, etc would get more backers than just DVD.

      - Some form of hand-drawn art or one-of-a-kind/Kickstarter-only Boondocks collectibles would likely bring in a fairly high price for pledge tier.

      - If you're able to work it out with your publishing house, I'd suggest including previous Boondocks book collections in pledge tiers as well. It may not directly relate to your movie, but it may help you gain a wider fanbase.

      That said, for a first attempt at a project I think you did fairly well, especially considering the limited timeframe.

      - The pledge tiers that you did offer were in a reasonable price range, and the partial digital downloads (e.g. music) was a good idea.

      - The phone call from Uncle Ruckus concept is brilliant, and should be included in a future version of this project, should you care to relaunch it.

      In closing: Don't hate the playa, hate the game. I hope to see this project relaunched in the near future.

      Creator Kai Alexis Price on February 28

      If this project doesn't go through on the first attempt, I encourage you to try to figure out what went wrong and then try again. Personally, I think that to quiet the haters, you should make it much more clear from the beginning that the success of the project is good/bad/indifferent to The Boondocks season 4, including details of where that season is at in terms of funding, writing, studio time, air time, etc. You probably also should give this project a longer ramp up time as well. And I still think you would have more success if you offered a range of rare Boondocks collectibles as alternative donations to your bags o' Ruckus. Can you get an on-air promotion of any sort on Adult Swim? Even in the text comments before and after shows? Lots of potential funders don't do Facebook and have never heard about Kickstarter. Plus, you already have a bunch of great video to use in addition to whatever you come up with next. In any case, you are my very favorite (newspaper) comic artist--please keep being so very awesome!

      Creator DRE on February 27

      I think AAron needs to stop being nice to these people on facebook. There are so many haters there, only talking about a season 4 and saying this movie does not need to be made. So I think Aaron should make a announcement. Telling everyone on facebook "If you Nyuggs want a season 4 you better donate a dollar. So this movie gets made. No movie no season 4. If being nice does not work then be mean,

      Creator Ken Shipps on February 27

      It's looking grim, the prospects of this movie's success. It's such a shame, too. If only the backers had more time to donate, this movie would've been possible. Just one more month, and we would've seen Uncle Ruckus offending whole theaters across the nation. In the words of an inmate from episode 9 of season 3 of The Boondocks, "I would've given anything in the mother******* world, for things to be different...."
