Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rushdown Rivals - ENA Reveal Trailer]

A trailer for an update? How odd. I guess it means updated version. This was still awesome. The best part was how it used actual animation and not just the gameplay. More video game trailers need that.

Then again, I haven't seen that many video game trailers. This had a lot of spunk to it. This didn't quite have the feel of a Pico Day submission. Pico only appeared briefly. As I've said before, Pico Day has become more of a celebration of Newgrounds in general.

["just underwear" (Party Chat 24)]

Okay, that was well animated, but it was uh...kinda dumb. I still appreciated it. It was obviously meant to be silly. I love his face at 00:23. That's easily the best animated part. I've never heard of them referred to as boxer briefs.

I do know what you're talking about. No mention of panties? I've been wondering about tights like that. I do think about shorts that way. This was nicely goofy.

[Celine & Cheswick: Housebreaking!]

I found this to be an adorable cartoon. The animation looked like it was from "Animaniacs". Celine reminds me of Rita. Cheswick was a bit too smart to be like Runt, though. It was great that you acknowledged that cats don't like milk. Really, they don't.

The animation was so good in this. I hope this wins an award. Talking cats are always cool. This was just a very sweet cartoon. Too sweet for cheesecake though!

[Newgrounds Sega Saturn Collab]

That Newgrounds joke at the very end was great. It's awesome how it was at the VERY end. I had no idea these characters were even from Sega games. I was expecting Sonic to appear. "Mortal Kombat" is owned by Playstation, not Sega. They're different, right?

This was very bizarre. A little hard to enjoy with how incomprehensible it was, but still quite good. It was still quite a unique collab. I'd think a collab would be bigger. That is quite a good preloader.

Anonymous-Frog responds:

The scene is actually based on "Virtua Fighter 2". Name probably got mixed up.

PS: Mortal Kombat was owned by Midway, later sold to Warner Bros.

[Girlfriend does the infamous cat dance]

You know, I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever have a FNF Day. We've done so many submissions about them here! Anyway, this was great because it wasn't too furry. I'm not into the furry fandom at all...except Rouge. I appreciate how well animated it was. That's pretty common.

Girlfriend seems to have a lot more personality here. She isn't that well developed in the game. For something short, this has a lot going on. Maybe it could have used more of a background? It's very cute.

[Gildedguy & the Dragon of Mar]

This should have a rating of at least like 4.62. I was amazed at how long this was! I mean, normally stuff that long is like a collab or based on Mario or something. This was a completely original idea! Dang, we could almost market this as a Newgrounds movie! I was thinking it would be nothing but pure action. You instead make the villain rather sympathetic.

The animation was of course amazing. I know the mythology of dragons and their longing for gold. Or was that just something from "The Hobbit"? Even the minor townsfolk had unique details. I'm still going to say "Slush Invaders Duel" was your best submission. This was still an incredible film.

[PIKMIN BITS: Krik's Kid]

Wow, I was truly impressed by this! I mean, I wasn't expecting anything that good. The animation was fantastic. Everything was just constantly bouncing around. It was hard to keep up with everything! I guess I did wish this was longer.

I can understand why it was so short. I don't know why, but it reminded me of "Spy Vs. Spy". The colors here were wonderfully bright. Those are some cute fangs you have. It was just so wonderfully fast paced.

[Jill and Joey: The Struggles of Motherhood]

Dang, I knew this was going to be something really dirty. I was hoping it would be a subversion. It was! Then it wasn't. You kind of lost points with that. It's weird to refer to a mom and her son's names like that in the title.

Well, that might be the least of her problems. Still, it ended up being funny albeit in a very gross way. The animation was really great! It's amazing how much you can do without color. I still have to recommend it, if only because it was unpredictable.

[Healer FIVE 🔔💧]

This might be the longest cartoon you've ever made. It's sadly not one of your best. It's still not one of your best. The sounds were as good as ever. That's a cute little princess. I thought she would kiss him. Instead, it became something rather bizarre.

That was quite cartoonish even by your standards. This may be your strangest submission. It was definitely creative. I can always appreciate that. I'm not sure if I like this green knight that much.

[The Matrix Collab | Short Film | Dial-Up Studios]

When I first saw this, I thought it would be the entire movie re-animated! I was then thinking there'd be no way, as that would be too long. It was still great to see everyone together like this. I was expecting everyone to be credited. I lost count of the scenes after 15. You still get so much done.

It was nice to see the live-action bits too. A little bit here is nice every now and then. It's been awhile since we've seen Matrix related stuff here. Maybe we need some references to "The Matrix Resurrections". Yes, that could have been better. It was still better than Revolutions.

WesMakowski responds:

sadly this wasn't the full movie, but there will be a vote on our Patreon in a few months to determine which of our "Short Film" will become our 4th full length collab film. Our previous Mean Girls Short collab will be on the roster as well.

In the mean time, we're working on our 2nd film, El Dorado Redialed (full collab film of "The Road to El Dorado") so watch out for that. Before that, we'll have two more short films coming very soon. The Matrix is an iconic film that only ages better with time. Thanks for your comments :)
