Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

[Luigi in 60 Seconds]

Wow!

I did not know that Luigi was the kind of character who got beat up all the time. While it was a little strange, overall, it was so funny because it is always great to see characters getting hurt. I love how you did not just with one thing. I thought he would do nothing but scream the whole time but it reached its funniest when he started actually getting hurt. The best part is probably the choice of music, especially with the koopas singing at the end. Beethoven's 9th Symphony might be my favorite classic music of all time.

[Maximillion Bagsworth]

Quite great!

I was really impressed at how good the animation was in this and how original it was. It could have used some more jokes, but still pretty funny. I love it how Bagsworth's mustache just jumps up and down whenever he talks, even when it is not part of his face. His monocle reminded me of another cartoon here "Unforgotten Realms" and made me think about how that cartoon also featured two monocles. And wouldn't you know it, this has the same thing! The animation is great and so is the voice work.

Thanks Ericho, glad ya' liked, old bean!
Keep it up with the reviews, man!

[SSBB Sonic]

Better

I think this was better than some of your other stuff because it was in fact in color this time. It was really cool just to see Sonic in the dark the entire time. All of the character's designs seem to be pretty authentic as well. I would say that it would have been nice if there were some voices, as you really do have good voices to spare. I liked the surreal music and how Sonic was going crazy with beating himself up. It was also funny just to see his theme level being used at the very end.

[Princess Elise's Origin]

It did lack a plot

I would normally take a lot of points away for not having good animation, but I think this primitive stick thing was actually kind of funny. Tails definitley had the best voice. The best part was probably when Sonic was just shooting everyone. It is weird how Princess Elise's backstory told nothing about why her legs looked like carrots. I think you have the honor of the only flash here that has Princess Elise in the title. The animation was overall funny, but it seemed to even go on a bit long and could have made more sense.

[The New Suited (pilot)]

Really cool!

I was really impressed by this cartoon and all of the different people who contributed to it! I especially enjoyed the wonderful animation and it truly shows that 2-D animation stands out. It reminded me of "Despicable Me" another good cartoon spy parody. I admit that Sarah looked dang hot as an elf chick. It was so weird how it starts off by going in a completely different direction than what you think. Even the stuff shown at the beginning with the intro was really good (before the main intro even!).
