--------------

Received the DVD yesterday, and completed viewing it today. Even better
than my imagination could concoct during the much worth it wait. Thank

Hello Mr. Strange.

I just saw a torrentrical viewing of your movie, and I can only say one thing; holy CRAP. x3

I'm definately buying the DVD now. =P Also, you're a genius. Not only artistically, but with the moves you're making in the industry and the things you say, all I can do is follow your example. =P

Out with the old, in with the new. >=3 AND you supported torrented versions of your movie. THAT I'll definately have to do. xD

It's okay if you're not making money, because this way, those corporate fat cats aren't either. This revolutionary stuff you did can kill offthe leeches and bring out some serious artistic movement.

Mr. Belmont, I beleive you started an artistic revolution. So sign me up too. =P

------------

i just finished watching your movie,
and i must say it kicks much ass
after finishing it,
i felt it was similar to the style of Suda 51
he's the guy who did Killer 7 and No More Heroes
you may want to check him out

anyways, your movie was amazing
it's a shame the elitist assholes/pricks at Sundance couldn't appreciate your work
i will probably pick up the retail dvd in the future

also, one thing i thought was one of the strongest points in the movie other then the stunning visuals was the music
do you happen to have a soundtrack available for purchase?

if not, any way it's possible to get these tracks?

thanks again for creating such a unique film experience
people like you are the only hope left for the film business

YOur movie
Hi ! I've seen your movie We Are The Strange and first time round I was like o.O what the hell ?? But now .. I love it ! I love the way it's made and I love Rain lol he's so swish !! Can I ask though, what is the name of the song at the part where Rain rescues Blue ? It's such a swish tune !

You are the best! Loved the unique film. *^*and special features*^*
Don't give up. People need a change! I'm so sick of the holy wood remakes!
Work on another one! Please! We need it

THE Most AWESOME Movie EVER
I got my We Are The Strange DVD a few days ago, on my b-day. OMFG, that's the most awesome movie EVER!!! KEEP MAKING MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

------------

I watch your movie every day! I put it on my iPhone and watch it while standing in line or drinking tea at Starbucks. I hope you don't mind

------------

Hey Man , I just bought your DvD
didnt get it yet ,but im most excited about it then I have been since I first played Nintendo back in 1987

------------

Hi. I've just finished watching WATS, and I've got to say... it is awesome. I have NEVER seen anything like it in my entire life. I love the fact there is so little speaking in the film. Very unique. Though, I wonder how much of it I would have understood if I hadn't been a subscriber of your channel. It would definitely take several viewings for someone who had never heard of you before. All the same, its a great film. The robot fight at the end - classic. Now to watch all the extras on the other DVD! (And watch the director's cut).
Good luck for the future Mdot. Here's to many more great movies!
WATS gets 5/5

------------

Movie, awesome.
Like the best thing ever man. We Are the Strange is win, the definition of it. You should totally make a game man! It'd be the best thing ever too.

------------

hello i am from argentina, but i don' write very good the inglish, do you read the spanish, please answer my because i got a talk to you to the movie "we are the strange" IS ASOME !!! i got wallpapers, soundtrack and i know a little dialogues, beware i live, is that right no? jeje bye and you are a big master, ORI !! :-D

------------

oh my god i have just seen We Are The Strange and it is amazing! Its great to see something so original and groundbreaking, i will definately be buying the dvd!

------------

I just watched the film earlier and just...WOW. The time you took making it was WELL worth it. It was beautiful, surreal. Great story. Very original.
Good luck, and keep em coming!!

------------

I just recieved "We Are The Strange" from FilmBaby.com today, and I must say: your film is, quite simply, the most technically astounding thing I have ever seen; my only regret is that I was never able to witness it on the big screen.

Honestly, had I not been following all of your YouTube featurettes I would NEVER have believed this to be the work of one man. Absolutely brilliant.

Never before have I seen such a perfect synthesis of so many media in film; the stop-motion and 3D/8-bit work blends together so seamlessly that it's possible to completely forget that almost no object on screen shares any sort of physical space with its neighbors. This is even more unbelievable when the depth of each of your shots is taken into account; the detail of your 3D environments rivals (if not surpasses) the world of any Pixar film.

What's more, your knowledge (and superb use) of traditional camera techniques makes each frame come alive. All too often 3-D film-makers seem to forget that though their camera inhabits no physical space, it must still emulate many of the idiosyncrasies found in a film camera. Rest assured, your film never once falls into this trap.

I don't know what else to say other than that you have earned a life-long fan. I had some trepidation about buying your film sight-unseen; however, you have completely surpassed ALL my expectations.

P.S. The DVD authoring is superb as well; the best thing this side of Criterion!

HEY MAN... YOU'RE THE MAN, I'VE SEEN YOUR FILM... AND WOW! YOU LEAVE TIM BURTON IN THE WAY.. THEEERE SO IN THE BACK...
AMAZING, ORGASMIC, ORIGINAL... AAAH! I CAN'T DESCRIVE THIS... WELL I LEAVE YOU, LUCK IN YOUR NEXT PROJECTS...

RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FROM MEXICO...

YOU'RE AMAZING!!!

------------

oh my gosh, when it got here! just opening the case was orgasmic, i went and bought some soft serve before settling in to watch it. I think it was done beautifully, there was more dialouge in it than i was expecting, i don't understand why some people found it so hard to follow. Hahah maybe after i get some art collage under my belt i could help u with a project or something well toodles i gotta go back to my fricken munane work =_='' peace holms

------------

I preordered it and waited for it to come in one day shipping.

Best thing I have ever bought! This was by far the best movie I have ever watched!

It came today, along with popcorn...

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE EVER WATCHED

YOU'RE MY HERO

*WORSHIPS*

------------

The movie was hella awesome M-Dot.
Your sh1t's tight !

------------

Just got your DVD. Watched the movie twice. I was waiting for this for more than a year. The film is one of the more amazing things I've seen ever. Thank you so much for releasing this film. It is amazing.

------------

This movie is brilliant. It's not for everybody, but it is fantastic. The art is just dazzling, the visuals are what tell the story, and it's not just a fan's review that's saying this, as a movie goer, it's nothing Pixar has ever done. Shrek cannot compete to what this movie tries to say.

If you need to see a movie that is brimming with genius, has an intelligent way of story telling (This does not have much dialog, and that's good, because instead of clouding your mind with meaningless George Lucas-esquire lingo, you can focus on a bitter and at the same time, sweet movie.

I give this movie a 9/10.

------------

I just got my copy of "We Are The Strange" in the mail and watched it. Great job! I'm already planning a screening night to show my friends. I just wanted to thank you for making something refreshingly original and visually sweetened. Can't wait to see your next film. Keep up the great work.

------------

just finished watching your movie and OMFG !!! sooo Uber <3 , your Pro man sooo much better then all the other shit movies out there 10/10 , hi 5 !! hehe

------------

it was amazing definetly one of the best films ive ever seen. pretty much every scene there was somthing really stunning that got me exited like when i saw movies when i was a kid. i really engaged with the movie i cant believe rain died that was so sad but the bit with emm and blue was so for the win i was jumping in my seat. im really glad you and your movie showed up out of nowhere, i was really scared sometimes when i thought about being an artist i felt really alone and isolated but youve really paved a way for every young creative person i think. you responded really quick too which was cool when me and my art group have got some stuff together ill show you some of it if you like. have you seen the movie paprika its by the same people who did perfect blue you should check it out. but yeh your movies one of the most important movies to me as a human that ive seen thus far. sorry to heap on the praise but me and my friends really appreciate what your doing its like the waynes world we're not worthy thing. anyhoo i hope u have enough hella dollars to buy icecream on weekdays now

Hey M Dot.

My name's Spike and I'm 17 and live in Australia.
I recently bought your film We Are The Strange and loved every bit of it. It actually inspired me to bring the freedom of animation to my own twisted imagination.

Your reply would be mega mega appreciated.
Thanks bud, hope to work with you someday.

I keep watching your movie.† It is the shiznit, dawg!† ...*ahem*...
anyways, I got to watch the thing on the nightmare soundtrack.† Might I say, it is very creepy!† All of the soundtracks kind of give the movie a different feel to it, don't they.† Well, anyways, just wanted to say good work on all the stuff you did with the movie.†
Moving on, I just saw your newest video on youtube, the one about you getting phone calls from hollywood directors and all that? Well, i think, and this is just MY opinion, don't have to take it, but what I think is, you should direct at least one or two movies fro hollywood, and make them really good movies that get good reviews and whatnot.† Then, once people know you in Hollywood, once they say, "oh! Mdot Strange!† the guy who directed Battle Angel (or whatever,) he's a good director," you could go to the chief of Warner Bros or Fox and be like, "hey, I directed Battle angel, and I want to make a movie that I wrote." ANd since you've been so renowned from making those Hollywood mainstream movies, then you can make a Str8nime movie with, like, a gabazillion dollar budget and get even more money!† see, it's like, you can take down hollywood from the inside out! MUUAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!....i am pure e_vile, no?† well, that's just my two cents.† you don't have to take it any way you don't want to.†

Hello Mdotstrange, (if that is your real name)

I'm sure your hella busy and all:

I just watched the DVD which I got from amazon.com. I loved it. I can't believe you made all those sets and stuff by yourself. Mega Hella crazy. I loved all the old school gaming references (like the little plane flying around from (I think) Mario Paint.) and I also loved the anime feel with all the crazy backgrounds etc. Anyways I've watched your videos on youtube and the one that really hit me was the Ideas video where you talk about working on your ideas and you can always acquire the technical abilities later. That really cheered me up. I'm a musician and I have a little studio in my basement. I play all the music (drums, bass guitar, organ etc.) and my friend sing. Anyway we try to get as weird as possible and we realized that no matter what we do or how crazy/weird our music gets it will still be in a sea of other bands trying to do the same.
Anyways awesome movie, can't wait to see your next one.

Later. Keep it strange.
