Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[badger ver.1]

Mushroom, mushroom!

It was great of you to start one of your earliest Internet memes with this fantastic Badgers song. I remember when I first saw this years ago and everybody played a trick on me. They kept saying that if I watched long enough, there would be a movie which never happened. I noticed how the sound really goes out of sync the more you play it. I really admire how you the badgers still look as updated as they do now in terms of animation quality. They are simply funny in their own right by lifting up their legs and waving their arms.

[LoD Guild Introduction]

Does need work

You do have a good fanbase for this series, but this trailer did not work out for me. The weak point is that there is not much happening. When I look for a trailer (or whatever this was supposed to be) I want to see what the game is going to be like. This is not to say the effects you used were decent and so was the music. It is just very short and it is hard to enjoy this as a stand along submission. I can certainly understand that this is the first thing you made as you have a lot of room for improvement.

[BEEBO Part 2]

Christopher Walken is cool

Congradulations on having the highest rating animation of 2001! It truly shows that people were able to show off their creativity, even if this was not one of my favorites from 2001. I really like the goofy animation in this as always. At least you did not show Steve Irwin getting killed by an animal which eventually happened to him. The man kind of reminds me of MacGruber now, with talking about taking penises off. I also liked how goofy it was when Beebo turned into a monster and shoved himself down the dundee's throat.

[Glotion Sickness]

Now that is surreal

I liked this one but I think it was not quite as good as some other ones. I think the best part is how just freaking amazing and trippy everything is! The animation is as great as ever and is simply so good I can never stop saying good things about it. Another cool part was the silly graphics that were used in the commercial. I think you could have used some more punchlines but it still worked pretty well. It was at least a great way to show how creative you could get in a comedy series like this.

We wanted to try something a little different this time ;)

[Shower time with Sonic]

But I love you, Sonic

This was really fun to watch and it was definitley an improvement from the previous entry that used this animation style. It is great to know that stick figures like this really work. I like how you used the "Tails" that was actually in a STH game. The voices were pretty authentic and cute, especially Tails. The biggest complaint was that it seemed to have little point, but I would know little about what you are parodying. You gets tons of credit for having that awesome song at the end.

[SSBB flash 2: Linkn'Sonic]

Best in the series

You really have come a long way with all of your submissions as this is the best thing you have ever made. I especially love the references to the first one. The weird thing is that it actually starts off being completely different than the ending of the first one, but later makes more sense. The animiation is easily the best so far, and so is the music. I think this one gets the body sizes right in addition to putting emotion on the characters. It could have used a little more action, but still good enough to recommend.

[Highlander]

Is that Arnold Schwarzeneggar?

I have to give you credit because you used a Queen song, which happens to be my favorite band. The weakest part of this is that the effects are just really poor. I did think it had its good moments like when the guy was holding up the sword and it seemed to change colors. Was this featured on the soundtrack for this movie? I know little about the "Highlander" series, but I doubt I would have enjoyed this a lot more. I did not like how the backgrounds were put on in a pretty cheap manner so maybe it will get better.

[At Conception]

Just flawless!

When I see Clock Day submissions that are not popular, I assume they are spam. This was one of the greatest surprises of Clock Day I have ever seen! What is so fantastic is that you chose to use clocks that are not that popular to tell a great story. Abortion is a serious topic and I rarely see this ever being addressed in such a serious and dramatic manner as this. The music is great, and I loved all the different animation styles and backgrounds. This really should have won Daily Feature or at least an award.

[Manta Ray Chase]

First review!

It is amazing how you managed to have such a high score without even getting a single review! Anyway, the best parts about this was that there were a lot of parts that were pretty funny. I was expecting the manta ray to use the shark skeleton as his new one, as he lost his old skeleton. The funniest part was probably when the skeleton swam away. The animation in this was decent, but the weakest part was how it was not that special. I suggest having a more unique style and some more action.

iceimp responds:

yeah I have no idea how it got no review really I don't think anyone really considered reviewing it because I believe it was submitted on a NG holiday.
Anyway I have to admit I enjoyed making this cartoon more then I do watching it.
I had a short time period to create it in class so I was limited and also wish I had added more (or had touched up on it) since the whole background was rendered to be played in a video game. Anyway thanks for the review. I think im quitting the Paint brush tool though I really don't have a steady hand.

[Mario & Bowser: The End]

Yeah!

I enjoyed this because it really set up the tension that it was going to have al ot more action. You get such a high score simply because Weegee appeared at the end. I enjoyed seeing the old style pixellation as well as the classic "Shoop Da Whoop" mouth. I guess Mario never did find the princess and she was not even in this castle! The title is also a good example of how it seems to be more dramatic at first. For only one joke, it works so well simply because it was executed very well.
