The Adventures of Kentucky Jackson
Kentucky Jackson searches the world for adventure and explosio--I mean archaeology. Yes, definitely archaeology.
Haha, that was great. xD
The quick cartoony movements were a different style than you normally see, but I loved them. 
Really fun! I love the fast paced cartoony animation, and the timing of the humor was on point, I was laughing the entire time. 
As has been said here the timing of the jokes and animation was on point. If you don't mind could you give us some insight into how you got these things to work in the best way possible. 
Getting the timing of jokes and animation to work right is kind of one those hard things to describe. When I'm making one of these things, I try to keep a rhythm for when to do a joke. I basically imagine it like beats in a song, where you have to keep everything on the same tempo. So the jokes in each scene match that specifics scenes pacing. Also, physical gags also go a long way in Lego films like this.
The comedic timing was spot on. Excellent voice acting and sound editing as well!
Wow, that was an awesome brickfilm. The quick animation had perfect comedic timing.
That was awesome! Exactly the cartoony feel I've been trying to create in my own films. What camera do you use? The depth of field was perfect in every shot, and the animations looked a bit like that of The LEGO Movie at times.
Great job!

That's some really topnotch sound design you've got there. Just like what everyone else has said, this is absolutely fantastic!
Awesome and very inspiring!
To those wondering, the camera used for this was a Canon 60D with Dragonframe.
Spectacular. Truly inspiring.
Excellent animation!
The cinemetography gives a sense of hyper-action and grand scale. Some of those sets were HUGE!
The explosion effects and mouth movements didn't look out of place at all. Everything in that respect was perfect!
The use of camera shaking was well-done as well. Even the logos were great.
Two things I would like to have seen differently:
1) Kentucky should have outwitted the statue by pressing on a "snare stone".
2) It should have been longer, with them at least getting the prize
Keep up the great work! Some of the year's best animation.
This is top. The snappy movements on all the animations is wonderful, and the sound editing is actually great, nice subtle changes like the short silence before the big explosion that lend more weight to the bigger sounds.
Been itching to see someone make something as high-octane as this.
SO MUCH WIN. 
Been waiting for y'all to produce another film, and I assure you, the wait was worth it.
I can't add much to what has already been said. It's a fantastic, hilarious, and well-produced piece of art.
Keep up the good work fellas!
I think my favorite bit was the subverting of the usually highly effective temple traps into...Well, a series of great jokes.
And tying it to one of your previous films was even more icing on the cake.
Freaking awesome.
But I want to learn about Meso-American irrigation...
It's great to see something from you again. The cartoony animation is great, and I like the reference to Farqunglu. (Coming to think of it, I'd love to see Kentucky Jackson and Mr Howards team up some day...)
