Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inception: Hijinks]

Look for the Easter egg

With a movie as popular as "Inception" I knew there was going to be a Newgrounds parody of it. If only we had made fun of other movies like "Up" and "Inglorious Basterds". Anyway, it was interesting with how there were so many people who worked on something so short. I was kind of hoping there would be more surrealism as that was the reason I enjoyed the film. BTW, you click on the totem at the end for the Easter egg. While not that great, it did provide me with a quick laugh that made sense.

Quite strange

That was very weird, even by the standards of your stuff. That being said, I still loved this because it did work really well to have a plot to it. The character designs were among the most unique I had ever seen, especially with the shark boss. I love how everything came together at the end as a lot of the scenes seemed kind of pointless. It was especially nice to see that little cat cardboard suddenly run around. The funniest joke was probably when the yak was mistaken for an ox in the middle.

[Friggles does surgery]

Needs work

I guess I can appreciate this because the animation was pretty darn good. I have not seen your other flashes, so it is a bit difficult to judge this as part of a series. It is just hard to recommend something that it so short that has only one punchline. Of course, you should by now that everybody on the Internet loves pointless violence! The animation was just fine, but you really need to work with more going on. Maybe you could release some of these short things as part of a compilation or something.

[Whitmore: H'ween Special]

Back!

I had no idea that you would make another episode just for Halloween! It was certainly great to see Whitmore back after he died in the previous installment(s). Is the duck a male because I think he is in a gay relationship (not that I have any problem with that). It was especially great to see the beaver pirate again. It was pretty cool to see him grow a wart because the first part warned us about Whitmore giving people warts. I do find it strange for a wart to grow on a bill, but this series never cared about being realistic anyway.

[Iggy Arbuckle]

Don't you ever do that again!

I enjoy seeing people make fun of kid's shows like this, but it was really icing on the cake when you actually put violence in. Despite the fact that I love cats, it was really funny to see Iggy throw the cat away. It was also funny how he almost said the f-word at some point. The animation in this is just great and I wish it would have been longer. I can see this becoming a more popular series with more episodes. I just like the way Iggy moves around and how the background is so detailed.

[Calderbank 2]

No face!

Yep, I knew he was going to lose his head or something like that at the end. I enjoyed this because once again, you went the extra mile and decided to not just stop after it seemed to end. I should have realized that the sequel would be about losing his legs, but I did not even think about that when watching the previous installment! It was nice I looked at your audio stuff before I reviewed your flash work. The voices were good in this. I really liked the funny body designs, especially the guy with the cat for a head.

[Cuboid 3]

Getting better

While not one of my favorite series, I did admire this because it had higher quality animation than the previous ones. I liked the little transition effects where everything faded in and out. I guess I could spend all day trying to understand the hidden meaning in this. Could it mean that we all have emotional baggage that we need to be helped by others? At least the colors were nice and flashy and the creatures had pretty good designs. I guess the other guy's name is "Ooby" or maybe "Coby"?

[Calderbank]

So funny

I admit that at first it did not seem like anything special, but it certainly got better the more it went on. I especially love the stupid animation used for everybody. It was so satisfying to see him take the arms and hit the other guy in the crotch. I honestly would have been satisfied if that was the final scene! However, you decided to go the extra mile and include that extra scene that brings out a lot of laughs in me as well. Oh well, at least poor Calderbank got his arms in the end after all.

[PandaDog Episode 05]

Adorable!

I will simply never get out of how adorable these little creatures are or how they act. Everything seems like something out of a "Looney Tunes" cartoon, especially with her putting up the road sign. It did have a very strange ending in which there were evil trees and then it just ended. At least it was fun to see all the crazy interactions the characters had with each other. It reminds me of "Happy Tree Friends" only with better animation and not as much gore. That's a nice lollipop the rabbit has.

[Whitmore the Toad Pirate3]

Best in the series!

I can understand why this is the only one in the entire series to win Daily Feature. It is simply tons of fun to watch and it has the best intro out of any of the cartoons. It is amazing to see the Toad Pirate finally die and that was certainly a fitting end to the series. Another thing that really entertained me was the beaver pirate. It probably has the most action of any chapter in the series with that sword/stick fight. Whitmore shall be missed, but at least he went away in the most awesome episode.
