True story.
The graphics, of course, were sprites, so I'll move on to the animation category. They moved fluently, and the shots were all well planned out and timed to the soundtrack. The camerawork was also pretty nice as it allows the viewer to fully experience this intro.
The shots you included were also good, and had a lot of variety. Some suggested heroism, others suggested adventure, and finally, suspense-filled action.
I must say, the intro alone has better animation than 80% of the sprite movies I've seen. I'm looking forward to your series. Also, one last thing: do you intend to put this at the beginning of every episode, seeing as it's 12.3 MB? If you do, I'd suggest abridging it or asking the NG staff for access to the new video player if you have a gigantic episode that's over 20 MB.
Hope this helped! 4.5/5

GOOD
Definitely a classic, distinguished by the animation style. A favorite part of mine was the voice acting for the nerd, it was both funny and fitting. The cutouts of Tom and Wade were also fitting to the style of the animation.

BAD
The cutouts can be mildly annoying, but I guess that's the style of the flash, so I can't deduct anything for that.

OVERALL
Easily a classic.
The gradients are waaaay overused. The traced bitmaps used for heads also add to the cheapness of the graphics. Squares for arms can also contribute to that factor. though, it was okay for a parody and it's a classic, so i guess this was okay by 2000's standards.

beautiful!
Great animation. Same here at my school. The only difference is, it's not a 7th grader doing it - it's my math teacher. He does exactly this
Haha, shitty xD
