Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Yume Nikki Christmas]

Yeah, I guess it was kind of rushed. I was a bit disappointed by the ending. It was just her awakening from a dream. Still, it was a Christmas cartoon. I appreciate the animation. That was the part that wasn't rushed!

The story just wasn't the best. I do like her throwing the message in a bottle out the window like that. I'm glad to see these high rated cartoons on Christmas! They're just not my favorites this year. It's still the thought that counts.

Pogney responds:

Thanks for the review! Yume Nikki itself is a game with a very vague story and almost no plot. The last video I made for it was more coherent, but for this one I kind of just shoehorned in references. I think this was a hard lesson to myself about starting animations that need to be posted before a certain date. I will live and learn!

[Tadpole Parade]

Oh, it was a story about a corrupt king toad. It reminded me of "Amphibia". I thought the toad was just a jerk. Well, maybe he was. I was afraid this would just be a loop at first. It ended up being something rather pleasant.

This has nothing to do with Christmas, but Merry Christmas anyway! Those little tadpoles were rather cute. Maybe it could have had more action. It was still a cute cartoon. I wasn't expecting it to end like that.

[Skiing with Jucika]

Wow, the original strip (hee hee) she isn't even topless. I knew that from the thumbnail. It just seemed so random. I'm glad she got cold at the end. Merry Christmas 2024! I wasn't expecting to see a topless woman on Christmas.

I guess it's a nice Christmas present! This was quite well animated. It was just kind of off putting. Still, it did seem like a comic. I'm glad the cartoon wasn't too long. A flash (cartoon) with an actual flash.

[Twerkey]

Roast you? Okay! This is one of your least good cartoons ever! It's just a turkey going around. Why is it Christmas? Turkey is more associated with Thanksgiving!

Did you even use your voice for this? Of course not, you're ashamed to have any identification with this! It has needlessly dirty lines in it! Anyone can make those jokes!

Hope you enjoyed your roast.

[Stomp Your Feet]

I found I had heard this song before. I then realized I was thinking about "Stamp On The Ground". I wish this was longer! It was too short of a song. Still, it was very fun to listen to. I had no idea it would show up on a Game Boy like that.

Procreate? What a strange name for an animation program. Anyway, the colors were quite nice in this. You've made plushes of your characters already? I'm not familiar with you at all, or at least I've forgotten about you.

[The Sketch Collab 2024]

I loved that description. Hmm, not as many as last year, but still awesome! I freaking loved how creative this was. It's a shame I don't know most of these animators. It's great to hear this long song. I'm glad you found a good long one.

The little details make everything work in this. The best part is probably how fast everything moves. I liked the dog farts! Dang, I'm immature. It's a collab worth waiting for.

[Power Star Reimagined: Pathway Into Darkness]

Why isn't the score higher?! Is it because it's a sprite movie? You rarely do see those things here anymore. I love the "Power Star" series. It was especially nice to hear voices in this. Those are pretty rare in sprite flashes.

The best parts are easily when Mario has a sword. That's something he should do in the games. I had no idea this would be so long. When it said the animator's name, I thought it was part of a collab. I can see inspiration from Krinkels too.

Fyar responds:

Search up "Power Star Unleashed" made by the us too. Unfortunately, if this project is to continue, we need to hire another animator.

[The Sonic Shuffle]

Wow, that was well animated. I will admit it was weird how the credits went on in the middle. Still, it wasn't mostly credits. It was great seeing Mario and Luigi too. I had no idea Robert Plotnick was a real person! What a clever joke!

The real Robotnik didn't appear until the last second. Like literally, I think. It's great to see everyone's into Sonic today. I loved hearing that "What A Fool Believes". I haven't bought a CD...maybe never.

[Hito Hania Animation (finished ver)]

I had never heard of Hito Mania before. I'm glad to have seen this. It's weird how it takes long for some cartoons to get frontpaged here. This is a great cartoon because there's constant moving. I especially love her hair. It started off rather violent.

I'm glad it got lighter as it went on. There's a great use of red here. I love when she turns into a chibi version of herself. She looks like one of those Funko Pop toys. It's quite stylistic.

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Shopping]

I thought this was very sweet! It was great to see them talk about going out of their costumes. They never take them off. I thought it was heartwarming how they got gifts for each other. It was nice to have Katy there too. I was amazed at the backgrounds.

At first, I thought it was like live-action photographs. It really looks very convincing. I love how stylistic a mundane setting can look. It wasn't too long or short. It's just a nice little Christmas gift!

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks, I was worried it would be too short haha. and glad you liked the BGs, they're photographs I painted over. That felt like a naughty cheat but it was necessary to get the cartoon done before Christmas and I think they turned out ok-ish.
