Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Burrito & Son Ender(?)]

That was really funny! I was afraid it was going to be too short. I mean, you could have had even more jokes. Then again, you did say it took long to animate. I have to appreciate you for putting so much effort into it. The best joke was easily the last one.

I'm not that familiar with these characters. You have already won tons of awards. It's great fun seeing the action too. It just moves so fast it's hard to keep up with. Not much to do with burritos. The colors are gorgeous too.

mattyburrito responds:

thank you so much! I definitely need to improve on pacing, timing sequences like that. Will keep working to get better and make the actions clearer. As well as the burritos.

[sum twinkle stars]

Wow, I was really wondering what was going on here. I mean, I couldn't tell if this used original characters or not. Whatever it was, it was definitely amazing. I'm glad the credits revealed it was from a game. Maybe it was a game you made? No, I just read the author comments.

I always have loved games like that. Never seen a full blown cartoon about it. The animation was gorgeous. These were some really weird characters. That made it all the more interesting. So glad you made a tribute to such a great looking lesser known game.

ChipsGoWOAH responds:

omg yeah, im glad you liked it, yeah making the original designer happy made me really happy, i also love the characters from the game cause its all very light hearted, the world might be covered by darkness but they still take their time to play on the beach, and kims sole mission to get girls was funny to me, i really like these characters and im glad i could portray them in a way that others would like them as well

[Superficial Xerox NEO-GEO]

This was a great cartoon. I just didn't think it was the "greatest" cartoon. I kind of expected more action. It's still amazing. The sprite work was gorgeous. It seemed like all or mostly original characters.

You have to appreciate originality. It has a nice heartwarming feel to it. Don't worry, arcades are still around. Thanks for paying tribute to this great website. It's certainly been a huge part of my life.

It does have a weird balance to it structurally, doesn't it? The plan was to create the beginning and end of the films first, get them out of the way and allow more time to work on the big montage of heroes. Unfortunately there were 20 seconds I didn't manage to get everything done for, so they had to be cut out. I'm working on sticking them back in since we're over the deadline now, and it won't count towards the contest judgement (only the original upload qualifies). I don't think the addition will greatly help the overall balance, but it'll be nice to say "this is how I intended it to be".

[Helltaker Animation Test]

Wow, a Daily Feature only 17 seconds long?! It was still worth it. This was an amazing cartoon. Everything has boobs in it nowadays. At least it wasn't adult. The machine's design is fantastic.

Hard to say that much about something so great and short. The voice is good too. Imagine a whole cartoon like this! Well, one more than a minute long. That's a whole cartoon here, right?

moikaloop responds:

I am shocked that this got a daily feature haha

[illwillpress in HD]

This didn't take much effort...but neither do the works of illwillpress. Weird to hear his name like that. I do agree with this. I used to be a fan of his, but eventually got annoyed by him. Well, more by his cartoons. Most people did.

His old cartoons aren't even here anymore. I guess it is in fact justified. I'm not interested in watching them in HD. Maybe if I was a fan of him. The little movements you did have were pretty good.

[Dead-End Job]

Kevin MacLeod again? I admit this wasn't one of my favorites. I thought it was a bit too long. Yeah, that's a weird thing to say. I do indeed remember you working there. I love how you make fun of yourself with the stick figures.

Seven years? Still not as long as my current job. Well, the job I used to have at least. I'm still on the payroll because of the virus, okay?! Most of us know what this is like.

[Mantaur]

That was so good! I thought it was hilarious how the beast was presented. I thought it would appear as this weak thing. It really did look frightening, mostly because of how weird it was! It was still weak by nature. I couldn't understand her at first.

The animation was completely gorgeous. There's a whole tag for Mantaur? Could this be a series? Not much to do seeing as how the title character's dead. Prequels? Too few votes for such a great cartoon. You do a lot for less than two minutes!

[Micwizard 2 (Doors 5 part)]

Wow, that was quite impressive! I really had no idea it would be that good. Well, I know you're a very talented artist. There's just so much that happens in less than a minute! The best part is probably the animation. Well, there's no dialogue.

It would be that by default. This was part of a collab?! It really is impressive on its own. You live up to your name. Nice cat.

Miccool responds:

Wow, you're still here? I remember you reviewing my old stuff like a decade ago haha.

I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate the kind words. Hope you're doing well and yes, it's a nice cat.

[Birthday 29]

Happy 29th birthday! I wish I was in as good as a position as you. I don't have a job. Well, not one that I go to anymore anyway. We all have to deal with this virus. This cartoon was quite down to earth.

That probably makes it better. I now know what it's like to wear a mask. I'm 31, so we're kind of close. Well, everyone's really close here. Maybe that's not the right thing to say in this time.
