Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Smart Power Entry]

Where's the ending?

It is always great that people care greatly about the environment and all that stuff. I think this was better than your "Litter Bug" cartoon because this one focused a lot more on statistics. While not the most entertaining, it at least gave out some interesting information. I also liked how the voices seemed to work well. It truly seems as though it was cut off at the end as it just ends so abruptly. I wish there would have been some more detail about what we as individuals can do to save energy.

[Tyson Kickoff Entry]

It is unfinished

It is weird how there were so many people that were helping you on something so short. It was a little difficult to even understand what the characters were saying. Seeing as how one of them appeared to be Mike Tyson, it is at least appropriate. The strongest point is probably how well the animation is! I do seriously think this could be put on a professional network as it appears to be more detailed than anything you have done before. With something so short, I can certainly understand why you would feel unfinished.

[B-Roll: Tickle Fight]

No dessert, pal

This was pretty interesting to watch because I thought you really tried to go beyond what you normally do. It was great to hear TomaMoto's voice in this, too. The weird thing is that the characters look like kids. I thought they really were until they were talking about how they were apparently going out at the time. I admit that pee can be pretty funny, especially with how deadpan everyone reacts to it here. The way you presented it by using the old film projectile was also kind of neat.

[The Art Show]

It's a loop alright

I think this was another lesser submission because there was not really that much that happened. I like art as much as the next guy and it was kind of interesting to see those different designs. I actually thought this was a game at first and I was trying to click everything. The main problem is that the loop is simply too long. You need more action and things going on in your flash to keep someone's interest that long. I did like the music, especially how its monotony fit the tone well.

[Kraft Commercial]

A commercial?

I liked this, mostly because you did a decent job with having good animation and everything. I really liked the transition effects, especially with how you superimposed those still photographs of the grilled cheese sandwiches. Craft is probably the main cheese company I eat. In fact, I think I am going to eat some of those sandwiches right now. It is great people make tributes to one of my favorite foods. Of course, I would not want any part of the bread to be untoasted, but it is probably the best in this case.

[My New GirlFriend]

That was strange

I was hoping there would be something more, but there was just not much at all. I admit that it was pretty cruel to have him tear him up the picture at the end. I think the animation and character designs were fine and it does seem to have more of a story than most things. It was just hard to comprehend the appeal of this. It was just some guy doing something dumb by pretending a picture was real. I mean, seriously, how could anything could possibly come out of that when he showed his friends?

[Breakaway]

Alright to watch

It was interesting to hear someone use the song "Break Away" and not have it be made by Kelly Clarkson. I think the animation is pretty good in this one. I liked how you were not trying to do anything that elaborate and just make a simple little music video. It is not the best of your work, maybe only because I do not think the song is that good. It definitley has heart and is trying to send a positive message to the audience. There are some weak points, such as the kid having purple outlines.

[Chips & Pete]

Getting better

I can see the animation is improving with each of the new cartoons you are putting up. I was pretty confused to this, as I had no idea what was really going on. I still liked it, because I think it really tried to give an authentic feeling of a standard fantasy story. The animation reminds me of the work by Chris Miller AKA Snakejohnson. I have to admit that Pete has a pretty funny design with that clock on his stomach. The voices were not bad either and I do think they fit the personalities well.

[Litter Bug]

And I love writing

It is important to note that aluminum is the most recyclable product out there, I believe. I have heard some people say that recycling is not that important, but even they can agree aluminum is good. This was a bit informative, but it would have been nicer if there were some statistics. Not to sound nerdy, but that is what I look for in things like these. It is nice that some people are talking about not littering and stuff. It just could have had more detail instead of just the blank background.
