Description:
The friction between the Risoni and Gromann factions has steadily increased over the years, resulting in a tumultuous battle that left both sides nearly decimated.
One small act will decide the final outcome of this war.
Featuring Bella, Anim8tor Cathy, and Dulci. Original music score by Nukester.
Created with iClone 3.2 for the iClone War & Peace Competition.
«That was absolutely great! With all the makings of an epic, visually-sumptuous fantasy war movie, and a lovely Nukester score to boot, I was all set to be dazzled and amazed, only to have the rug pulled out under me at the end. And what a clever ending! Watched it twice so I can experience that rug-pulling again. Wasn't sure where those giant sets were from, but i found out pretty quick, LOL. Great acting by a talented cast as well, and great visual work. Three thumbs up!!!»
«That was excellent Dulci!
I love the ending...and then the ending at the end of the ending lol:-D
This had all the feel of one of those role-playing game intros...just as good,but a better ending to yours haha:-)
Top-notch work:-)»
«very well animated, nice choice for music very well done, i look forward to future productions»
«Amazing. First off, nice score - kudos to Nukester for composing. Written well, performed well by the cast and directed well.
Nice work, Dulci.

«Pls r8 my movie.
(teeheeheehee)»
«Dulci, I so sorry it took me so long to get to this film!
First, you certainly have a taste for camera angles, your story telling, and of course your excellent voice-acting. I was a little confused at the end, I mean, it looked as if the girl summoned the huge foot but then again maybe not.
Either way, It was good fun. Nuke did a fantastic job on the score. »
«A nice "little" Movie!

«That was a great fantasy short (in more ways than one). I loved the costumes and performances, and a special nod to Nukester's absolutely captivating soundtrack. I don't want to give anything away, but I always appreciate after-credit surprises. I'll have to watch this one again!»
«First off that was really pleasing audio wise with Nuke's soundtrack and some excellent sound design right down to the creaky floor boards. I really liked the gender assumptions being turned upside down in a film with "War"in the title featuring only female VA's, all of whom turned in solid performances. I'm going to avoid saying anything specific about the plot except I loved it and it was really quite clever. »
«Ist sehr gut. Es nicht mein genre, aber sehr gut.»
«Nice work, Ms. Dulci.
Everything about it was captivating. Very World of Warcraft-ish.
Great cast, music and editing.
Lotsa girls. What's not to like?»
«A nicely done Fantasy film. Never since I played Vexx on Gamecube have seen such beauty and riveting storytelling working together in such fashion. A 5...out of 5.»
«The bridge scene and some of the transitions stuck out to me. Cute and well orchestrated.»
«That was unexpected, lol! Nicely done! I thought the scaling was a mistake in the house but it took me a second view to notice the scaling difference started from the bridge. And of course, now the pun in the title becomes clear!
Nice soundtrack as well and the bit at the end was cute.»
«What GP said, great film with a fun little twist
Lovely music by Nukester and great VOs. An entertaining film, even if it wasn't quite what I expected 
»
«that was strange but good at the same time. nice vo's too»
«OK that wasn't exactly what i had expected ..it was funnier!
I love shorts, um... short films with a punchline and you had that going for it in spades.
Lovely voice work, very well put together music from Nukester and excellent work finessing the Clone.
Good luck in the competition.

«Ooh, women. They can be so bitchy at times, can't they? I mean, they're worse than men, for goodness sake.
Just look where their fighting got them. Thats right, an ending which I didn't see coming (and, obviously, neither did they).
I will admit that I didn't really have a clue what was going on and was wondering if I should be taking sides or what I should be doing.
In the end I decided to keep my nose out (very wise where women are concerned, especially very tiny ones wielding swords) and listen to the excellent music. Not only was the music of very high quality, but so were the VOs.
So, you're probably thinking (apart from what the heck is he going on about), did I enjoy that? Well, yes, I enjoyed it very much. Like I said, I'm not sure I understood it (well, I probably did but my brain hasn't kicked in yet), but I liked it a lot and that's all that matters.

«Wowie - like revisiting The Borrowers if the borrowers were hot chicks in metal bikinis...which hey, is every boy's fantasy anyway....
Fun flick, great performances by your cast and your bad self, solid animation work, and an ending that I didn't see coming. Good luck in the competition!»
«interesting, i see iclone has the same robotic looking movement that moviestorm has.»
«Great looking movie with bizarre ending. Nukester supplies a very impressive score. Strong VO. The ending was a trip.»
«OK, I'll bite... what was that about? Looked pretty, sounded fantastic. Loved the scale of things (though at first I thought it was a mistake). The ending, while funny, left me wondering just what had happened. Maybe I need more sleep... Was it two toys fighting?»
«Dulci........ It was an adventure that suddenly cause me to say, "What da heck!!??" Loved the characters and would like to see an epic film with them! Nukester... WOW! I'd love a copy of the score! Dutchess.. the costuming was great! Loved the castle, Dulci! VO's were clear. A surprise for all who watch!

«LOL! Wow, that caught me completely off guard. Very good battle. I got a 'kick' out of it too.»
«I guess the title really said it all :-)
I loved your use of facial expressions with iClone. It really gave it an edge, particularly for some of the key moments of the film. Shanai's irritation at the start was one of my favourites along with her shock discovery ;-)
It was a pleasure being a small part of this and I wish you all the best for the competition!»
«nice castle
I was thinking some of the props looked a touch large 
cool movie.»
«Veeery nice!
The ending was great - though there was a point where I got and inkling of what it might be - and then, being right, I got a real kick out of it!
Nice sets, costumes and voices, too, and Nukey's music fits wonderfully!»
«MMM, all righty then ! »
«***WOOT*** BRAVO!! Great Job Dulci! And that Rosalyn chick is HOT for an old bird! LOL 500 Stars!!!»
«Excellent animation! I like the way the characters move slightly when they talk. Loved the ending too! »
«Um....Yeah. That was different. I was expecting something different at the end but, WOW, what a twist.
Very good work Dulci.»
«lol
Definitely wasn't expecting THAT. I liked that little kick in end.»
«Well I never saw that ending coming.

Good stuff Dulci
