Steampunk Zombie 2000AD was a cute silent-movie style black and white flash animation about a zombie filled world. From what I gathered, Mr Young was a Zombie Slayer married to Mrs Young, who's task was to get attacked and look worried a lot. The thing about silent films, is that because you are alternating words on the screen with footage, you have to keep the text short and sweet and make up for the words you can't say with the acting. Yuckbear seemed to take the silent film theme as a way to do less animation and tell the story with words. The words were too verbose, and not on the screen for long enough. It was far too much reading for my brain at 9pm on a Sunday night and I had a lot of trouble keeping up. From what I can surmise it was a pretty average zombie film, without any sort of interesting plot hook, which in the end I didn't actually have a problem with. The formulaic story really made up for the simple animations and the fast text I couldn't read. Some nice drawings, I really liked the style of Mr and Mrs young and the zombies, though I was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of steampunk which was promised in the title. Still, Yuckbear was one of only a few teams willing to brave the Animation genre and that definitely deserves some props. The animation that was there was nice, and I enjoyed the style of it at least.
