Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zenibeasts: Kaiju Cutie]

Aww, what an adorable cartoon! Who knew giant monsters could be so cute? It was a tad weird at times. It's like when he punched her and she had a black eye but it still made a squeaky sound. This was just very cute. You gave these two a lot of personality.

You usually expect kaiju to be more violent. Their designs were awesome. I love how Mashibuni had two faces. Well, more like two sets of eyes. If it's a pilot, it would be great to see more episodes.

MollyHC responds:

I'm so happy you enjoyed my cartoon, thank you so much for leaving a such kind comment. 😊

[SAILOR MOON in low-poly!]

I'm not really a "Sailor Moon" fan. I saw it once and thought it was good. This was a perfectly serviceable cartoon. I just don't think it's great. There's still good effort put into it. We're all familiar with the transformation.

It's good for pixel art. Maybe it would have been better for the art portal. I probably say that too much too. It's gotten to the point where I'm starting to say THAT too much too. This is good for what it is.

violxiv responds:

I was just gonna make a gif out of it; but thought it would be cool to go the extra mile and animate the scene, otherwise I'd just upload it as art ig

[Eddsworld Xmas Day Reanimated Collab]

Aww, too late for Christmas. I'm more used to the "Zanta Claws" series. I loved how there were so many authors in such a short time! They did a great job with everything in rhyme. It's weird to have a collab of something that's already here. It seems like more you'd do a re-animated collab of like "The Ultimate Showdown" or "Metal Gear Awesome".

Whatever, this is still great. I felt sorry for these guys. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Dang, it's been over ten years since Edd died?! Talk about keeping the memory of a legend alive! You guys are awesome for this!

guythathasnewgrounds responds:

This was meant to be uploaded on Christmas Eve, but well, you can't rush art.
Glad this was released on the last day of Christmastide, so hopefully its not that late lol.

This was started since 2021, I reiterate, but was in a hiatus (during the hiatus, an animator solely reanimated the whole video on late 2022, which was a cool take), but last year I decided to revive it to finish a project (of many I have mind) and of course, to honor the late Edd.
Overall, thanks for the words! Really appreciate them.

[Sketch Collab 2023]

It was great seeing all these artists together! My favorite might have been the "South Park" one. That was...Stonman! I can't even describe all these different parts. They're all so good. Yes, I do wish there was a collab like this with color.

I counted 127 credited people. Ooh, so close to beating your record for last year! I still can't help but love this. Maybe you could have arranged it in alphabetical order? I don't know how you chose the number, but anyway it's fantastic!

Stonmann responds:

Wait really you liked mine XD Fr? :0 mh mh I mean yea that one was pretty cool.

[Snowbound!]

It was pretty weird to see a movie like that with no resolution. I mean, it still works with how mundane it is. We all know what it's like to have a flight delayed. Well, I haven't had trouble with snow like forever. I live in Florida! My favorite part might have been when he was frozen. I mean, that makes perfect sense.

I think that was a fart at the end. Merry Clock Christmas! Well, all it really had was snow. The set up was really good. Hey, I haven't seen Pube Muppet in a long time!

Pop-Tart responds:

The resolution is the friends we made along the way.

[NGTV Christmas Marathon]

Yeah, I have in fact seen some of these before. Wait, with all the stuff I've reviewed, of course I've seen these before! Yeah, these segments were a lot longer than what the cartoon actually said. It doesn't make any sense. I was expecting to see "Crack Miser". I mean, it included ones made this year!

Such an epic cartoon should have been advertised for awhile like many massive collabs. My favorite was probably the CGI one or whatever technique was used. I'm not doing back to look at the title. Merry Christmas indeed! Congrats on having one of the longest submissions ever!

Kolumbo responds:

the bumpers are supposed to immitate a tv schedule - not actual animations length or timecodes - probably should've included "PM" after the numbers there to make that more clear. thanks for the review and happy holidays!

[Frosty the Painful]

I never understood why he said, "Happy birthday!". Wait, I just saw this for the first time like a week ago! Anyway, this was hilarious. I had no idea it would be the same guy who kept appearing. I guess that makes sense. I guess it's just the hat in itself that's alive, maybe?

Wow, that escalated. From a dead grandmother to the entire planet! The grandmother's body looked like she was already coming back to life! The animation was just like the cartoon! Merry Christmas 2023!

VoicesByCorey responds:

He says Happy Birthday because it's the Day he comes alive! :D...and dies!

[Ghoultown - I am the Undead | Music Video]

Dang, the lyrics kept confusing me. Was it always "The Undead" or "Beyond Death" or "Beyond Dead"? I think it kept changing. Anyway, this was fantastic. Music videos are actually pretty long for a lot of submissions here. This looks like a comic book literally come to life.

The designs were just fantastic. I think this is today's best submission. The action was great and everything was brought together perfectly. The visuals were better than the song. Uh, the title says "Ghoutown" and not "Ghoultown". Whatever, this was amazing.

Sarkazm responds:

Oops! Title fixed, thanks for pointing out the typo.
And thanks! It's actually both "I am the Undead" and "I am beyond Death":

[Verse 1]
Walking in a twisted world
A place I don't belong
Nothing left to see
Everything is gone
Land is cursed, the skies are black
Monsters all around
Bloody hands, the smell of death
Rot is in the ground

[Chorus]
Can't remember who I am
I'm never gonna rest
Life is but a curse in this hellish bloody west
Cleanse the barren lands
With a vengeance in my breath
'Cause I am
I am the undead
I am the undead

[Verse 2]
Survival on the line
I cannot find the light
The sound of darker things
Out there in the night
Am I alive or maybe dead?
Have I won or lost?
To rid this land of its curse
Comes at such a cost

[Chorus]
Can't remember who I am
I'm never gonna rest
Life is but a curse in this hellish bloody west
Cleanse the barren lands
With a vengeance in my chest
'Cause I am
I am
The undead
I am the undead
I am the undead
I am beyond death

[Murphy and Ted]

I loved this because of the animation. When I first saw this submitted, I immediately thought that it would win an award, if not Daily Feature. I'm good at predicting these things! The animation was fantastic. It's mostly awesome because it takes something so mundane to make it amazing. There's another rhyme!

It was quite suspenseful. I was thinking it was going to end with him wetting his pants. I'm glad it didn't. I found myself rooting for these guys. It deserves this award.

chinzverse responds:

I appreciate that a lot thank you!! 🙏🏾

["Winter Smoke"]

Okay, I will admit this was very short. Yeah, for me it wasn't good. I still do like this animation a lot. It worked have worked better as a gif. Still, I've seen tons of stuff worse. It wasn't even really about Christmas.

It could have taken place in any time in winter. Oh wait, war on Christmas. This guy looks like a cat. Well, maybe more like a ghost. Uh, a ghost cat.

WackyKatto responds:

Thank you for the review and feedback!!
The character is Kart Kid from Tower Heroes.
