Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Mario Funny]

Hmm, very mediocre

I thought this was pretty good because it was cool to see you use the different backgrounds. It reminded me back of my days when I played "Super Mario World" and I recognized this stuff. The downside is that the animation does need a little work. It did look like a lot of the things were just quickly superimposed in the flash. The funniest part might have been when Mario died and then immediately killed the flying koopa. The best use of graphics was probably Toad popping out of the bag.

[Mastermind 3]

Another funny entry

It is quite impressive how you never lose the sense of making good animation in a humorous cartoon. It easily has the best animation you have ever worked on. There were mostly just funny joke after funny joke. The funniest thing is that I think the Mastermind is probably the most intelligible person there at times. I liked the cameo appearance by his second rank which now managed to get some clothes on. The "Finnish" joke was funny and I am surprised people have not used that before.

[Walk in the Woods]

That is a lot of poop

I admit that this was something very different and unique to make, even for you. It is kind of silly how the pooping guys were all frozen, skinned, or blown up anyway. The animation is really good and I think it uses a style that you yourself have never been able to duplicate. I noticed how the rhino did not have an entire trail of poop, but simply used it as a rocket. There was lots of funny moments, like when they simply stopped crapping and had some tea. It is also interesting to submit something with no dialogue.

[Paper Tree Machine _)-(_]

More tree hugging than I know!

I felt at this point it was a little lame for the robot to simply explode because someone decided to recycle. However, I appreciate you as always for sending out a great message. I do keep hearing that paper is really not supposed to be recycled. You are definitley trying to do something with good intentions. I would not be that surprised to see you making an animation as you have plenty of those already. We can all do our part to support the protection of the environment and the planet, so thank you for making these.

[Help the Cause]

How sweet

While the threat of Hurricane Katrina is over by now of course, it is the thought that matters. I know a lot of people would make more humorous things at this time. You, however, decide to be extremely loyal to your causes and encourage us all to contribute. The most important thing is that you specifically tell us exactly what we can do or have done. It is this knowledge that we can use for more recent things like the Hiati earthquake. While the song was not that fitting, it was still a great song.

[Blue (fbf #2)]

Not bad, friend!

This was a great submission if only because it included that great tutorial. I have never been that fond of tutorials as I doubt I will ever get into making flash myself, but this one was really colorful (literally). It is great to show exactly how to make a flash. I think this one was better than the previous one because it focused more on creating shapes. I could see things like a remote control thrown in there. I guess I can also wish you a very belated happy Halloween but there is a new one coming up anyway.

[Purple]

Nice start

I was not expecting that much out of a cartoon that was just called "Purple" but it was better than I thought it would be. It is especially nice to see this as a forerunner for your "Textart" flash. The music was pretty good in this, too. It just shows you what you can do with nothing but a single color. The reason you made it purple was because you had to start with a color and you would have to do purple eventually, so why not do it first? Of course, you could say that about any other color.

[Clock Day - 46th of July!]

4,000th viewer!

It was pretty fun to watch this, especially knowing that everyone does something for Clock Day. I personally think that this year's was not that good, so it is great to look at a better year. It was interesting with how the fireworks really did resemble the clocks. I also liked the nice authentic New York City background. It does not take a genius to figure out that this is an infinite loop. You at least made something nice that celebrated a holiday that few people make cartoons about. The music is nice too.
