Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Santa's Tree]

Very emotional

I really liked the wide variety (or at least the number) of songs that you used for this. The human characters had sort of simple designs, but that wasn't what you were trying to do. I really like the animation in this one; being able to idenitfy the little dots reminded me of the stuff in the Sunday comics (which I still read). It was also nice how you got an environmental message across with the trees being cut down. I'm glad it ended on at least a somewhat optimistic note. Merry Christmas to you now and forever, Sonucais!

Hey ericho, thanks for reviewing again.

[Collab Games]

Pretty fun

The segment where Bomberman poops reminded me of this one guy named BlackTangledHeart who made a similar flash. Anyway, this had a lot of interesting things going for it in its own right. It's pretty interesting to see something made by all of you guys from Spanish speaking countries. I was especially delighted to see those different styles like using sprites or pain animation like with the Electrode. It was also great to see you pay some tribute to Michael Jackson. An impressive bit from BlackerOuT and friends!

[A Bid For Freedom]

Unforgettable

With the title "A Bid For Freedom" I had no idea it was going to be about bad breath and King Kong. While there was no animation, you managed to take me back to the days of when I read traditional story books. This remembered me of this one book about a bad word that became a cloud which I think you may have based it on. It was also pretty funny how the ending made it all pointless as in a shaggy dog story. The artwork was all done fantastically and seemed like something any great professional illustrationist could do. You should have this published as an actual book!

Wow, thanks for that fantastic review, and congratulations on joining the echelon of the top 25 all-time reviewers! You've clearly seen a heap of Flash in your time, so I'm honoured that you enjoyed our work so much!
Although I've read many books in my youth by talents like Roald Dahl and Dr Seuss, I've haven't had the pleasure of reading your specific title (though it sounds bizarre and interesting).
ABFF was pretty much conceived off-the-cuff to concur with the competition deadline, with partial reflection on my own experiences (being at deathlydull parties etc.) and fairly obvious pop-cult influences (that 1933 monster movie that the Lord of the Rings guy remade, title keeps slipping my mind...).
I'm really glad you like our style and our sense of humour; it was great fun to produce, I'll try my damnedest to get a new published edition out at some point along the way (I'll let you know when I do) and we'll all certainly work hard to produce more great entertainment for viewers like you in the near future!

Cheers for checking us out!

[Like a Brother]

One of your best!

I could tell from the crazy looking silhouettes that this was going to be something great! I was impressed at every minute of this piece of art, because of the great animation. The song may not have been my favorite, but the flash was so awesome I didn't care. It was really cool to see how much of a story this had, and all the crazy things going on. I think that this is some of ZekeySpaceyLizard's best character (or monster) designs. This manages to be extremely cool showing off a lot of great art!

Wonderful color effects

I knew this seemed familiar and I'm pretty sure I did see it before. I can't believe I don't remember how much of an awesome flash this was in its time! The colors and animation were absolutely gorgeous with some of the best use of shades I have ever seen! I especially liked how the red outlined characters contrasted with the more perplex looking main character. Just seeing the color reached across the house and in the red wires was fantastic in itself. The audio bits were pretty nice as well and I loved the message at the end.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

4.81!

I am proud to say that I have seen the flash with the highest rating I have ever seen! Not only is the animation simply flawless (the best are the running scenes) but you have managed to create a story to this. I think this is the first time I ever heard narration in one of your works. I never noticed until now that Bitey was in fact the only creature of his kind. I like how you use his intelligence in contrast to the more wild creatures but still show him as a troublemaker.

The thing appearing at the end is probably the most human-like character I have seen in the series. It is obvious you are trying to add change and variety to this stuff, which I love. Merry Christmas and I can't wait for the next one!

[One Cold Christmas]

Underrated!

I am glad I was able to catch sight of this, despite the low rating. This managed to be something really neat because it did not aim to be particularly silly, but just something entertaining. I really liked the animation in this one, reminded me of like "Ren And Stimpy" or something. I also liked how the voices sounded. The funniest part was probably when Santa beat the guy up even though I couldn't even see his fists touching him. Showing Santa's buttcheeks was pretty unpleasant, but funny.
