Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Die-Rect Hit (teaser)]

Your best work

I was quite impressed by this and it really reminded me of Ben Spurgin's work. This is made all the sadder now that he is truly dead and this was made after he made his flast flash but before he died. I kept thinking the battery in the upper right hand corner was signifying how long the flash was. It was good it went on longer than I expected. The animation in this is simply flawless, especially with the blood. I love the designs of the guns, the backgrounds and how everything flows together so smoothly.

u guys always make me smile.

[Snorlax Vs Snorlax]

So funny

I thought that this was going to be like "Magikarp Vs. Magikarp" or Metapod as nothing would happen. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this had a lot of unexpected stuff in it. Now, getting a Snorlax to open its eyes, that is a true trainer. It was interesting how you mentioned pokemon being euthanized in the sign. I really wonder if that kind of stuff happens in the pokemon universe, or if they simply do not talk about it? It of course helps that a muscular Snorlax is one of the coolest pokemon ever.

[Bad Weekend]

Joke after joke

This seems just like something that would be released in a stand up comedy album put to animation, but apparently it is something you made up yourself! The funniest part was probably when there was a lot of material about finding out his wife was a whore. The only weak point was that the animation does look a little cheap. It is still nice of you to try something out of the ordinary and the humor gets across well. Another great part was when there was just a random fire in the care box.

[La verdad del amor]

Good for the Spanish speakers

I took a year of Spanish myself but I could not understand anything beyond "No" or "Why not?". I really have to appreciate all the work put into the animation. Every character has a silly design to them that seems to just contradict their own body image. I also like the really cool intro you put with all of those words in the background of the loading icon. Everything is done in a light hearted and humorous manner. Seeing as how it is a personal project on speaking Spanish, I would think there would be subtitles.

LeCorvo responds:

Thank ypu very much. I'll take your sugerence and i'll put the subtitles for next one.

[The Faun and the Nymph]

I can see the influence

I was immediately reminded of those series when I first saw this, but at least Bitey had no real dialogue. I love the designs in these and it makes me realize that nymphs are really underused mythical characters. It almost sort of reminded me of "The Lion King". The voices in this are good, but I was a bit disappointed that it was so short. It is a bit hard to have such a simple story being used in something that focuses on mythology so much. I would love to see this made into a series with more plot.

[Shallow Lake]

Didn't like her personality?

While not as good as the "Neenja" series, this was a very fun thing to watch simply because it was so smart. I really do think there are a lot of ugly guys with hot wives out there, but that is mostly because women care more about money, of course. It is a true twist of irony how there are people like that but they are probably ugly too. It is something that pretty much any bachelor can associate himself with. It is a really nice piece of satire that shows how reality truly works. She was pretty ugly.

[Mecha-Death: Pilot]

Too hard of a series?

I do hope that this gets made into a full part series eventually as it is so awesome. This is a great way of showing that you can work with more serious flash and lighthearted stuff too. It has some of the best animation I have seen on this website as everything just has so much death. The main character design is threatening and sweet. There is so much going on, you are surprised to find that it has an actual story. It is a gorgeous piece of work that seems to have been designed by any professional.

[Ingus: Episode 8]

Best in the series!

I think this is one of the few series that actually has a link to the "Series" page on this website. I loved this one, simply because there is just joke after joke after joke. I should have known that guy was an alien monster. The funniest part might have been when the porcupine was free and believed in God only to be swept away by an eagle. Another funny line was about Ingus not noticing that the guy had his penis out. And of course, all the humor is consistent by him talking about the cheeseburgers at the end.

[SK8 Hugo Medina]

Not bad at all

The biggest negative thing about this cartoon is that there is simply no sound. It is not that difficult to simply download any fast paced song to go with something like this. I love the animation in this and particulary with how the character moves. It is actually so unique it is surprising you came up with it all by yourself. I have been experimenting with colors in real life, and this is an interesting demonstration of new technique. I may have seen it before, but it really fits the cartoon and overall theme.
