Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Epic Kiss #27]

I had no idea who that was. I should have just looked at the author's thumbnail, duh!

[Stay Awake]

That was a very good cartoon. Maybe it was a little too short, but still amazing. I stayed awake last night. Well, more accurately, I stayed awake this morning. I can have sleeping problems. I appreciate this unique entry for this jam.

It certainly was a jam! I appreciate these designs. They look familiar, but your name doesn't seem familiar. I can stay awake for a minute! The genre should be "Music Video".

[Na]

That was good, but I wished it was longer. The animation was still quite nice. It's a pretty original idea. This was one short title. I think only the submissions like "B" had shorter names. I liked the implications of salt on a slug.

I mean, I think we've all done that at one point in our lives. Am I just a sadist? Oh, I get it. Na is the periodic table abbreviation for sodium. Glad I know that!

[Orval's imaginary Friends]

Yeah, this is my favorite of the Stay Awake Jam. I had no idea we'd get such good cartoons out of it! I liked seeing all those imaginary friends. I appreciated the animation especially. It looked like he was burning his hand at first. I'm glad it wasn't too long.

It was just very creative. I've had times where I don't sleep well, but I don't come off like this. Well, who knows how dangerous it gets working with a fryer? Those are some hot areas. I like how you put a name to a character in a one shot story.

[When you're sleeping but people keep coming in]

Aww, this seemed quite different. This was about a person who WAS trying to fall asleep. Well, someone who was still staying awake, so I think it fit the description. I appreciate the animation. I lost count of all those guys. It must have taken forever to drawn them all. Well, I know some were just the same design.

I loved how this escalated. This has been my favorite entry in the Stay Awake Jam so far. No wonder it's the thumbnail! So summer animations are labeled as jams too? Didn't need to see cum in bum jam listed.

[Brittle Battles Bedtime]

That was actually pretty long for a jam. Well, you were just good with timing. This was a decent cartoon, just not great for me. I guess it could have used more action? That wouldn't have been the point. I'd love to know how he escaped in literally the blink of an eye.

This isn't the same as people falling not being able to fall asleep. Maybe there should be a jam like that. That's usually the bigger problem! The character designs were fairly good in this, actually. It was a little like Warlord-Of-Noodles.

[meeting a deadline]

Yeah, this wasn't very good. It was pretty boring. This was just like the top rated cartoon! What a funny coincidence! Anyway, I was just looking for more. The animation was just subpar.

I guess trying to stay awake would be kind of boring. I guess it was at least watchable. I don't know who that guy was. I just always think of Slender Man. He was at least slender!

[Your College Thesis is Due in 5 Days]

Kevin Macleod again?! He's everywhere here! Anyway, this was quite fun. I like the idea of a cat helping someone with their homework. So, we're in another jam already? I have to admit this is a pretty unique one.

It was a little boring. I still liked the little details. The funniest part was when it said "2X2=Peanut Butter". I have peanut butter all the time! I also have two of many things as well.

[Stay awake, young mom]

The best part was the tank joke at the end. I thought she was donating blood at the end. This was a fairly simple cartoon. It still worked well. We all know what it's like to be busy. Not all of us are moms though.

We do know how busy moms can be. Yeah, I can have trouble sleeping. This was quite a sincere little cartoon. I understand why people like it so much. It just isn't one of my favorites.

[Newgrounds Summer Fest 2021 Opening Animation]

A great celebration indeed! I will admit that I was kind of hoping for the cartoon to be longer. It's still an amazing one. How come none of the people I follow on these kinds of huge projects? Still, this is amazing. I knew for a fact that the boyfriend and girlfriend would be there.

They're practically the mascots now! At least Pico and the alien from "Alien Hominid" are still here. Tons of companies just retire their mascots. This really does show how creative this website is, when all of these are not just parodies or tributes to other cartoons. Unless the lawyers are against you.

Stanpai responds:

This is just a music video, so it's only as long as the song. As for why none of the people you follow are on this, you will have to ask them. The application process lasted for over a week and they never applied.
