Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TC Round 2: Vs ScareCrow]

Pingas!

It's too bad that I didn't see this before seeing the more popular entry featuring these characters. Of course, that entry did a better job of telling a backstory, so it works better this way anyways. It's great to see these funny and silly looking characters again. I also really like the designs of the villians, especially the spider legged scientist and the dinosaur with Dr. Claw's face. And of course, it was great to see those references to YouTube Poop and the like. This stuff just never gets old.

[fun city.]

Pretty cool

I love how the wider outlines call back to a classical period of flash. I guess it helps that I saw "The Princess And The Frog" today and realized what we have been missing with simpler animation. It would've been nicer if it had a background. The dialogue was pretty funny and at first I thought it was taken from something, but apparently it was just made by you. That works well to make it more enjoyable. The best part was the intro that was shown at the end oddly that had a better use of color and backgrounds.

[Vegeta's Ordeal!]

DIET!

It is no doubt that choosing Diet or regular is a great source of comedy in general. It was also great to see the Kool-Aid guy appear at the end as it reminds me of one of the first jokes in "Family Guy" (not that I'm a huge fan of that show). The animation was pretty nice. I think this would've worked better if it had been part of a collab, as it doesn't really do much to me on its own. It was kind of nice to not hear an "Over 9000" joke in making a Vegeta parody. This should have been a bit longer, but was okay overall.

Trixen responds:

I think you would enjoy saiyans Paradise, another parody I wrote, yes, this was a short, but it did its job I think.. Short and sweet, thanks for writing a msg!

[[CD09] Creaking Jodphurs]

Tribute?

I admit that is a noble idea to honor all of the NGers who have died. It's kind of sad that you can now add another one to the list, in the form of Ben Spurgin (what has been it with celebrity deaths this year?). That was the best thing I found in this, as it didn't seem like it took much effort to make. It would be really nice if you added some music, even a short loop. It was basically a yellow background with purple stuff in the middle. It was just nothing that I thought was too impressive and it needs improvement.

[Snow Fight]

Nice and simple

I don't know why, but you just seemed to just hit the animation right on the head. I guess it's because it reminded me of Eddsworld, which I am a big fan of. I especially liked the part where the snow missile was coming towards him and it looked so sad. I could see where this was going as the kid kept looking more bruised. While not so long, I guess I was just looking for a bit more action. However, that is not a complaint and this was still fun to watch.

47times responds:

Yeah I see what you mean, I would have liked more action but I wanted to finish it before Christmas and I'm not so good with explosions, maybe next time.

Good animation

While not a classic, what saves this is how good the animation is. It's great that I am learning to become more familiar with your work and realize why I like your stuff. Anyway, I thought it was weird at the end as I originally thought the elf would work for Santa as long as he didn't tell on him. This isn't to say the ending that was literally gay was terrible. I was thinking it was going to be a more violent flash with the rocket destroying Santa. In place of violence, there was sexual humor, which is just fine.

hun...

thanks for your review

[Z eh n]

This is better!

I am a fan of experimental things and especially surreal stuff and that fit this well. I like to know you for your surreal stuff, so I was a little letdown when this didn't turn out to be that long. It's still interesting, as it seems like you were trying to give a visual representation of music. The black and white characters running around reminded me of ink blot tests. It was especially great when they moved through the different colored lines and kept changing colors. It is too bad your tablets pen is no longer accurate (of course, not having flash, I wouldn't know what that even means).
