Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[: Squirrel Songs V :]

Some of your best stuff!

I was very impressed by how this seemed to have a lot of variety. I'm now noticing that Germaine is pretty much going to always wear glasses from now on. Anyway, I thought the songs were pretty funny and the guitar was also used quite well. I didn't sign up until September 2008, so it's nice to know Foamy isn't talking about me. It's also neat how this didn't seem to rely on that voice so much as it relied on the actual content. While I'm not your biggest fan, I certainly see why you have such a large fanbase.

[Upstairs]

Wonderful color effects

I knew this seemed familiar and I'm pretty sure I did see it before. I can't believe I don't remember how much of an awesome flash this was in its time! The colors and animation were absolutely gorgeous with some of the best use of shades I have ever seen! I especially liked how the red outlined characters contrasted with the more perplex looking main character. Just seeing the color reached across the house and in the red wires was fantastic in itself. The audio bits were pretty nice as well and I loved the message at the end.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

4.81!

I am proud to say that I have seen the flash with the highest rating I have ever seen! Not only is the animation simply flawless (the best are the running scenes) but you have managed to create a story to this. I think this is the first time I ever heard narration in one of your works. I never noticed until now that Bitey was in fact the only creature of his kind. I like how you use his intelligence in contrast to the more wild creatures but still show him as a troublemaker.

The thing appearing at the end is probably the most human-like character I have seen in the series. It is obvious you are trying to add change and variety to this stuff, which I love. Merry Christmas and I can't wait for the next one!

[One Cold Christmas]

Underrated!

I am glad I was able to catch sight of this, despite the low rating. This managed to be something really neat because it did not aim to be particularly silly, but just something entertaining. I really liked the animation in this one, reminded me of like "Ren And Stimpy" or something. I also liked how the voices sounded. The funniest part was probably when Santa beat the guy up even though I couldn't even see his fists touching him. Showing Santa's buttcheeks was pretty unpleasant, but funny.

thanks i appreciate it

[Jesus Sweets!]

Very nice!

I didn't think I would see the day where Chris Niosi worked on some bit of satire! It's just great to see you taking on stuff like religion, even though the writing goes to KaiserNeko. I thought it was a pretty funny Christmas parody even if it isn't some of your best work. It was great to see Kirbopher's animation as usual. It was pretty funny with the idea of Jesus styled treats, as we should put the "Christ" back in "Christmas" even though you were being sarcastic. I was expecting some "Dragonball Z" jokes in this, but there weren't any and have a happy holiday season, the both of you!

[Whiny the pooh]

Taken away?

Aww, geez, I'm really sorry that you had your work taken down from the collab. I could tell this was familiar and was used in that Disney collab. I wasn't really the biggest fan of the Disney collab in the first place, so with just a breif bit it was hard to be that enjoyable. I mean, the animation was nice, especially with the title character. I could not really understand the main joke if there was even supposed to be one. I am at least glad you can go back to working on some Christmas stuff, which will hopefully be a lot better.

[Cool Things 018]

Not too bad

I hope you had a Happy Clock Day as well and this was a pretty nice Clock tribute. It was funny to hear "Clock Crew" replacing those words. It was a decent animation with those nationality clocks moving around into each other. I was disappointed this was so short, but it is apparently rushed, so you may want to come up with something earlier next year. I'm not really sure what this "Cool Things" series is supposed to be about. I'm pretty sure I've seen numbers over 018 here before.

[Blue N' Pink-existential]

Okay at best

I really think that line is black and not gray, but whatever. It's been awhile since I have seen one of these things and it may look kind of dated. It is due to the fact that these were not intended to be that good and were created more as joke flashes, which is fine with me. I guess you did a pretty good job of putting a philosophical argument among triangles. I still don't understand what the pink triangle said at the very beginning. At least you learned how to bake a good souffle from this.

[Tails and his GBA 5]

Not terrible

Well, I watched something or two of the Tails series, and I was disappointed this was a joke. However, I should at least praise this for being creative. It was in fact really cool to see all of those different clocks and their designs pop up on the screen for no reason. I have never heard of this "rush" song before and I like the voice in it. It was really cool to see the different scenes with "Scarface" with Tails' face on different people. While this is still not something I would recommend, it was at least creative.

[Bedtime Story]

A good flash indeed

It's really nice to see how you can take a relatively simple idea and really expand it into something great. All the animation was done nicely, and I simply liked looking at the details in the books on the shelves. The exagerrated character actions helped it too. It even works well for action scenes with the wizards fighting each other. It was even funny to hear their little voices go off every now and then. Also, yes, it was pretty entertaining to watch the little "Credits" animation.
