Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragon Ball waZzup]

I was wondering why this had a good rating. I mean, I don't think any of these vids really hold up. I now realize that this is an anti-Wazzup flash. How awesome! I was never a fan of this. I am so glad it's forgotten nowadays.

I thought the animation wasn't bad. It does seem stilted. I love the idea of Goku killing people. He killed them all the time in "Dragonball", but not "Dragonball Z". It's stupid because it was shown he was pure of heart before.

[Zelda: Episode I]

I did not care for this that much. I do feel like these cartoons are having more plot. Shouldn't this also be in the "Star Wars" section? I guess that would spoil it. Oh no, I spoiled it here! Anyway, this was a slight improvement.

It's weird, knowing all his later stuff is much better. Lightsabers make everything cool. I still don't like the small image. It's interesting for what it is. I am kind of annoyed by that old man.

[Mario Gets Lucky]

I admit that I was pretty confused by this at first. I know realize Toad is the father. Wait, it said it would reveal Toad's father. It can't be Mario? I can tell this was made with just screenshots. The sprite work gets much better later.

It needs to be a lot bigger. It's still great to see Randy's early work. You will forever RIP, dude. It's great to see him improve. The writing could be better too.

[Mario Has An Accident]

Here it is, everybody! Randy Solem's first submission to Newgrounds! It's pretty obvious that this can be regarded as an old shame. I feel bad for never playing "Super Mario Bros. 2". It certainly looks confusing. This joke doesn't make much sense with Mario.

Don't worry, his stuff gets way better as it goes on. For awhile, I thought this was the first flash submission on the entire website. I just couldn't find anything earlier. It's too small as well. I still love this guy!

[PuppyMunch]

So your name's Jose Ortiz? I like how you had to click on the bubble to continue. I was kind of confused as to why the dog would eat gum at all. Well, he doesn't know how to chew it. This is the earliest Daily Feature I've ever found here. Okay, I don't keep a record of those things.

The animation isn't bad. It's just that it's just one joke. I do see this website improving. I am glad we have gotten better. The sounds are quite authentic here.

[Vacuum Salesman]

It's been too long since I've watched your stuff. There's nothing more fun than people talking about problems in their personal lives. Okay, there probably is, but it's still really great. I am lucky to never have this happen to me. In fact, I don't recall any salesman at all. I really am lucky!

I'm so glad you got your free detergent. I really did feel sorry for the salesman. I guess he's just doing his job. You spelled "buy" wrong. I can always count on new stuff from you.

[HAPPY SOULS]

I feel so bad for knowing nothing about "Dark Souls" but I do enjoy this a lot. You just need a sense of humor to appreciate it. My favorite part was probably when he looked like a baby bird. There were just so many cute moments. I liked when the dragon was slowly following them. The bits with them on the map were great.

Yeah, I don't know who these characters are. Those are the longest credits I've seen in awhile. I guess it fits for a long (by the standards of this website) movie! It was quite enjoyable in most ways. The voices were good too.

Jameserton responds:

Thanks Ericho.

[Shamoozal: Candy Corns]

This had a great punchline. I was thinking it wasn't that funny at first. I was able to understand the final joke. It really did pay off. It all makes sense as the candy corn was harder than this teeth. Is this the first in the whole series?

I absolutely love candy corn. It seems like you were off to a great start here! The character's reactions are really nice. It's short, but it delivers its message. It's a nice little short.

[Bob and the Apple]

I loved this even if it was a bit anti-climatic. What mattered was that it was just hilarious. I love the part where the store owner is revealed to be an apple. I thought it was going to be a person living in that apple or something. It wasn't, but it was still nice. This is great animation.

I just love how you show the arms as lines. It's just a nice little detail. There are lots of nice movements. Wow, that sounded dirty. It made no sense, but was still wonderful.

[Blanco y Negro]

Wait, this was made in 1999?! I really am blown away by this! I assume anything from that time period would be bad. You really did prove me wrong! I was amazed at how good the animation was. My only complaint is that it was a bit too short.

For this time, that's excusable. This may in fact be the first great cartoon ever made on the entire Internet. The atmosphere is wonderful. It's such a good use of animation at this time. Not much of a mystery, but still fun!
