Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piconjo Jam '24]

It's nice to know we have someone who remembers the minor holidays here. My favorite part was probably the first segment. I mean, we get the wackiest stuff here. I loved hearing that "Dragonball Z" audio too. It never gets old. LegendaryFrog isn't even really around here anymore.

Neither is Pikanjo. You guys are still here. Good for you! This might have been too long. It's still a must for any Piconjo fan!

[Money Problem (Goth and Ellie SHORT FILM)]

Okay, that was a rather bizarre cartoon. I feel like it could have been longer. Then again, that was probably the intention. I knew things would go bad for him, but not like that. It was quite a dissonance with the goofy music. Well, we know cartoons can be violent.

It still worked. It's mostly because a lot does happen in such a short time. I'm not that familiar with these characters. They seem quite interesting. Yeah, this was definitely good.

[Bluey Sleepytime Reanimated]

I admit to never having watched "Bluey" before. I've heard it's like the greatest cartoon ever! With a reputation like that, it's hard to represent it. This still did an amazing job. The colors and animation were wonderful. It's the most well-known cartoon from Australia.

I do wish there was some more variety. I heard this was like the greatest cartoon episode of all time! I would have to see the original. It's certainly adorable. I have to love it.

[Twomplr]

Wait, Adam McArthur? You mean, the same guy who voiced Marco from "Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil"? I don't even remember his voice! The name makes it sound like the Thwomps from Mario. It's a cross between Twitter, Tumblr, and...something else? I don't know where the "o" comes from.

Broats? That's an anagram for Borats! Anyway, this was hilarious probably because I don't use any of those accounts. The animation was spectacular. This was just perfect satire.

BroatsShorts responds:

Yup, that's the same Adam McArthur (although he didn't have much to say in this one... watch the other ones for more of his lines).

Thanks! And yeah, it sounds like a cross between Twitter & Tumblr, but basically just meant to sound like a generic app name - not specifically those two platforms. Just riffing on how social media truly is awful lately - although if anything I'm making fun of X the most.

[Smiling Friends Fan Animation]

That was pretty funny. "Smiling Friends" is really all the rage nowadays. I like how you show how it was done in this YouTube video. You know how to draw these characters. The ending made it all worth it. It's worth to see a guy without a head, but with a face.

I know little about the show. I'm not familiar with these characters. I don't know their names! I can still recognize great animation when I see it. As I've said fifty billion times before, other people like this more than I do.

[Underfell Sans n Paps]

I thought this was okay, just not great. It is pretty one joke and not that funny, at least not for me. Don't get me wrong, it had great animation. Maybe I need to know more about "Undertale" to like this. I just wanted to see some action. I still thought it was put together well.

It just wasn't quite my thing. I find it funny how he called him a numbskull. I mean, they literally have no skin! I just have to apologize for this (fairly) low rating. It's a good environment, though.

[Reaper]

Aww, dang! Why was this so short? It was just perfect! Anyway, this had possibly your best animation ever! The best part was...uh that's hard to say in something so brief. The action, I guess.

The designs of the characters were great. We had some amazing expressions too. He doesn't look like any Grim Reaper I've seen. Please make a longer version! This is just amazing!

[Fictophile]

How could I have missed this the day it got its award?! This is freaking amazing! The animation was spectacular! The audio was just perfect! I even loved the part at the end with the live-action cat. Wait, why wouldn't I love that?

You manage to tell so much without color. We rarely get pure black and white stuff here. You create a fairly uplifting video. I love the animation with how her hair moves. In something this good, you notice every single beautiful detail. At 00:44, I hope that was supposed to be water she was bathing in and not uh, blood.

[Phoney’s Complaint]

I admit to not being the biggest fan of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". From what I've seen of it, it's just okay. This was a good representation. Master Shake's voice is so funny. The animation was put very nicely. You know how to use expressions.

This guy looked like Bone from the comic "Bone". Then again, that was probably the intention. You know how to make expressions. I felt it didn't go on too long. I would have liked this more if I was an ATHF fan, but this was still good.

Corndogzella responds:

Yeah, same too, i'm not a huge fan of ATHF, i watched a few episodes and i like it but i don't watch it very often. Thanks for the long review, at least you appreciated it ;) and long reviews make me learn from it so i can improve.

[Nutty-O's Cereal (Short 3D animation)]

I admit that I didn't think too highly of this when I first saw it. I still really don't. It's too short. I really wanted to see that dog that was on the cereal box. I'm glad you included that cereal box info. It's just not enough for a commercial.

They need to be at least 30 seconds long. This was indeed nutty. I was able to navigate through the maze on the box cover. Well, technically it was a drawing. Dang, we got high scores today!

JPiXeLAnimations responds:

it was meant to be a short assignment to show our understanding of the particle system in C4D, not a full 30 sec. commercial, though i did want to emulate that feeling from this revision, with the little time i had before i got to showcase in class. but i totally understand wanting more from this, and i appreciate your feedback!
you'll definitely see more from these characters in the future!
