La Conquista
An age old question is answered: who are the better explorers? The conquistadors or the vikings?

Superb short, jampot!
The set design, the animation, and the dialogue were very well done. I thought the last scene of the lava monster was genius; a pretty fantastic shot!
Your brickfilms, and this one in particular, are great! I look forward to your future work!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much 
It's a good short, but your animation still needs work, you should really work on adding more frames per movement to smooth things out. It's well written (of course I already knew that since I've seen the script), but I was disappointed you took out Gunnar's line, I thought it was quite funny. The best aspect technically was the set, I really felt like they were on the shore of an island, nice job on that. Glad I could help out a bit. 
I really enjoyed this overall, the whole of it was interesting, funny, and well done.
I really liked the set, it worked wonderfully and it looked very nice from the angles you chose; it also looked much larger than I'm sure it really was because of whatever background you used. Like was said before, the animation could use some work. The light flicker is the biggest problem, in my opinion. Everything else was great, the voice acting, the short story, the effects, the set, everything. The lava animation/glow looks beautiful.
Also, the animation has the movements, just not the fps. Like it doesn't actually look that choppy because it's like they all are still the right length compared to each other even if there's not as many of them as their could be, which will make that timing more difficult but I bet you could pull it off.
One thing is, if a brickfilm has a great story, sound, and voice acting but the animation isn't perfect there's a lot better chance I'll watch that than a film with very good animation with not a very good story, sound, etc. So there is that.
And...what did you do to my voice, because I totally liked that. I assume you deepened it a little, mind saying exactly what you did? I thought it was much better suited for a lot of things than my normal voice is. Nice torso on the Viking I play, by the way. It's from The Guardian from Knights' Kingdom, it looks really cool.

I just deepened the pitch in Adobe Audition by about -2. You don't need to do it any more than that - the lava monster was only -4!
I like the background and the lighting very much, however, it looks as flickery as an ANP film for some reason.
I feel like you should work a little more on your animation. It's a bit shaky often times, also, you should probably make sure the helmet has been pushed down all the way. It keeps bouncing up and down.
I really like the lava monster model, though, it looks really detailed.
Nice short! It's really funny, especially the ending, and I liked the set design. Chief Cherufe too is really well designed. The only downside is a spot of light flicker, and the animation itself could use a bit of polishing. But aside from that, it's a great entertaining short!
This was really good! You could imporve a bit on your animation and there was a bit of light flicker, but other then that, it was really good.
8.5/10
I've been waiting to see this video for some time, now. NOw when I got on YT to watch it, it says I need to DL the flash player. I already have the latest version installed and running & all other videos are workign. Well, I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer while I resolve this.

Well, I hope you enjoy the video when you're able to see it! Do you use Mac? If so, double-check you're not in Private Browsing. Are any YT videos working for you?
No, I'm on a PC and private browsing is off. I did watch other brickfilms on YT.
IT's working now.. watching momentarily.\
Huh. I wonder why Conquista isn't working...
VERY FUNNY! Nice surprise. Good jokes.
Great job! I really enjoyed the voice acting and the set design was great.
