Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Old Man and the Sea]

Quite clever

I am not going to lie to you, this is a very interesting cartoon to watch. What is so cool is the animation and especially when you reference "The Old Man And The Sea". I do not want this to become a political forum, but it was nice how this made fun of atheists. I have no idea if this thing ever ends, but I realize that it does now. It actually seems to be like something I myself would say in a YouTube video as I have done videos like this even with the bad sound quality. MarlinClock is also cute.

[Zelda - Target]

Kind of small

While I appreciate the work you have done, I think I like your other series better. I could tell that it was you who made this simply from the preview icon. It is interesting to see you experiment with different things and I like the designs as usual. It was funny to just see that weird blue chicken appear out of nowhere and get hit. It is that kind of random humor that makes a short cartoon more memorable to watch. I hope you are doing well in your animation class, as you do good work.

[Burning Gundam v.s Barney]

LOVEMETOO?

As Barney the Dinosaur is probably the easiest character to make fun of in a cartoon, it is nice to see us. It seems like it has been awhile since anyone has made fun of someone in this matter, and I am glad that it is back. The CGI used in this was really good. You did not just have Barney walk around, but actually have him attack by breathing fire. Seeing his head at the end was pretty creepy too. I liked how the Gundam robot turned gold as he was defeating Barney and used the voice.

[Mario VS. Sonic (VGDC)]

The first and still best!

Your author's comments could not be more accurate, as this is one of the most imitated flashes on Newgrounds, but never surpassed! The sprite work used in this is just as good as if it would be made today. I love to see all of the characters in the background and everything. You were one of the first great sprite users to come on to this website. How ironic you submitted this the day before StrawberryClock made another legendary flash "B". I also love how you just kept adding more and more things to this as the years went by.

[Robocop-PD]

Best early ones

I love this cartoon because I believe it has the best animation of any cartoon in 2000. I love the way Robocop looks and how all of the other characters look and move. There are tons of action and great sound effects used in this. It reminds me that you are one of the few people on this website to consistently make a flash every single year since the portal was open. The designs of the two Robocops are just great to look at. It is a pity this never seem to develop into a full fledged mini series.

[Stick Figure Penalty: C2]

More stick deaths

I love this cartoon and think it is among the best stick flashes that I have ever seen. This style has become so popular it has pretty much become a meme in itself with stick parodies. I like this because you can simply have so much fun as it is a game that simply plays itself. There's a certain feeling of glee you get by just pressing on the button for the next death. This has no point at all, but if it is a game, it is great in that it is so easy. I think it is funny to see a stick figure using a stick.

[YGOAbridged Leather Pants]

LittleKuriboh is here!

I was very impressed by this cartoon ever since I saw the preview of it and was informed it was finished. What is so cool is that LittleKuriboh/CardGamesFTW finally got his own Newgrounds account. As you two as some of my favorite people on the Internet, it is my dream come true to see you working together! I really like this as it is funny to see all the humor of "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series" here on Newgrounds. The animation is great and it is getting better all the time with how the characters move.

[WALL WARS]

Not bad

The thing that really kept this from being a lot more enjoyable was how there was no sound. I am pretty sure that there are some good stock sounds going around that you could use, like for the guns. It is still an okay video because the animation is nice. Sure, there was nothing but a white background, but the designs in this seemed really original. There is definitley potential for you, but you do need some more things put into it. I like the expressions of the characters and how slick they are.

[Java Jive]

At least you were honest

It is of course very short as you yourself pointed out in the author's comments. However, it was still a good flash and I liked the tune and especially the animation. I thought it was really cool how it was a brand new song to me that really came off as sweet and cute. I never drink coffee, but I have drinken tea a whole lot, but only iced tea. How ironic that this is a tribute to caffeine when it seems to have such a relaxing demeanor to it. I also like it keeps such an optimistic spirit even though it was short.

[Pencilmation #14]

Cone head?

I thought that this was one of the lesser entries in the series, mostly because it had little action. I still like this animation style, particularly with how the characters move. The music is also good and I think it really gives an old timey feeling which is what you were trying to do hopefully. I find it strange how the guy ate the cone head in one bite. He was taking his time to eat the smaller cone. Anyway, I guess I am glad I did not find out the name of this, or I would have easily guessed the plot of it.
