Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[THIS IS SPARTA (Full)]

I was expecting to say "This is Sparta!". Instead, there was no dialogue. Well, mostly just grunts. I appreciate how beautiful this animation is. This is just a perfect combination! Take a bunch of great cartoons and put them together!

Really short submissions can be annoying. Then again, this was still pretty short. I appreciate how you've worked so hard on this. It's been awhile since we've seen some great stick flashes. It's a meme, like Sparta, shall not die. It's raining, so they're already fighting in the shade!

[Mean Girls Collab | Short Film | Dial-Up Studios]

Oh well, this was rather odd. I thought this would be the whole movie. I mean, the Spongebob Movie Collab came out with no warning! It was amazing to see these different styles. My favorite was probably the giant monster/giant robot one. I know I saw one segment before.

I didn't know there'd be one segment for just a three minute cartoon! Well, I guess there are far shorter collabs. It's just out of the ordinary for a re-animated collab. I'm not a girl, but I can associate with this. I wasn't homeschooled or anything, just awkward.

WesMakowski responds:

Sorry this didn't meet you expectations. The Spongebob Movie Collab had many trailers before the release so not sure if it came out of nowhere...

Regardless, in May 2024 there will be a vote on our Patreon to make one of our following short collabs into a feature length, so if you want a full version of Mean Girls then you voice your choice! :)

[Smoothie Night?]

I seriously hope the fruit smoothies tasted good with the new blender. I've never made a fruit smoothie before. I didn't know about having to add ice. Well, it has to be cold of course. I doubt making it cold would have helped in this scenario. Well, maybe a little.

This happened at 3 am? I don't know if I ever stayed overnight at someone else's house as a kid. Well, except when visiting relatives. I had trouble making friends. You might have actually had a better childhood than me.

[Taylor Swift gets a coffee]

Okay, that was really funny. The best part is how I wasn't sure what the next joke would be. I love how she got all those straws. I collect straws in my workplace too! Well, not to drink. I like how it's done in lowercase letters.

It shows how complicated her life is. Might as well advertise the YouTube video. It'll get more views anyway. I imagine many celebrities are like this. Taylor Swift probably qualifies.

[I got SCAMMED again!]

That "The Ring" joke was great. I thought this was something truly original for you. Given how prolific you are, that can be hard. I KNEW there would be a ghost in that video. I didn't know it would be a parody of "The Ring". I should have expected that!

You didn't say "scam" in the cartoon! Well, we all get like this sometimes. I like how rapid fire the jokes were. I have heard that joke about Samara before. It's still nice to see it visually.

[ARTIST!]

I love this, because it reminds me of my own art style! I've written tens of thousands of reviews, but could never make a genuinely good submission myself. I thought it would be something dirty at first. The artwork is great. I mean, the artwork in the cartoon itself. Not the drawing, obviously.

I guess this is a character you've worked with before. Well, it's your avatar. This did in fact speak to me. Artists should do better. I am not one, unless you consider reviews an art.

[Elder-Rain Cafe // Strawberry Cake]

That was a pretty good cartoon. I didn't think it was great. Still, it was fairly cute. That's all it was really intended to be. Cake is what the Internet was made for. The colors were nice too.

The simplistic art style seemed to work. I liked how the cake looked. Maybe it could have been more detailed. It's still fine the way it was. Kind of looks like a late Valentine's Day submission.

Tyhond responds:

Thank you! ^-^ Yeah, it was my first animation so I was just touching the water. I do it under the format of Sticker Animation where it's animated Sticker and not a full keyframe animation :)

I can see that but it's just a wholesome day for some Strawberry Cake! ^-^

[Hockey Night in Canada]

Sorry, but I didn't think this was great. It's still quite good. I'm just used to football. The best thing about it was probably the animation. It went well with that audio. Dang, these guys are going to have no teeth!

I care little about hockey. I sure couldn't recognize your art style! That's a good thing here. Wango's a really funny word too. Funny words work so well here.

[Resident Evil Toot]

Wow, this was great! It looked like something made by LazyMuffin. You know, with the black bead eyes. Then again, the voices didn't match. I loved the CGI bit at the end. I wasn't expecting a big explosion.

Those work in comedies. Banana guns are hilarious too. It was just very fun and I'm glad it wasn't too short. I loved her going crazy as it went on. Toot's a funny word too.

VikingJam responds:

Thanks! o.O i dont think i've heard of them but i might have seen some of their stuff b4.
oh the bead eyes i stole from Adventure Time :3
hhehe abrupt explosion ending = genz humour.

kid screaming jill lol.

[I'm Fast...]

That was a pretty nice little cartoon. I admit it wasn't great for me. It still had very nice animation. We get a great reaction from Amy here. The details are very good. We get it, Sonic's fast.

For some reason, the preview thumbnails showed through the cartoon the third time I played it! That's the first time that's ever happened! What a unique experience! It's nice to see the plane too. While overrated or me, still nice.
