Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[XIN Session 01]

I admit that I'm not really into this series. It just seems kind of dumb. A teacher's practically beating a kid to death. I find that just dumb. It's because this is supposed to set itself off as being somewhat realistic. It just seems needlessly cruel.

I know, that sounds a bit hypocritical. I love Madness Combat, which is chock full of violence. What I don't like about this is that it's so stupidly outrageous it makes no sense for the world it creates. I'm sorry, but this episode in particular comes off as too sadistic. The animation's pretty good, though.

I kind of felt this was a bit too long. Why isn't this in the clay collection? It won Daily 2nd Place! That ought to count for something! It was weird to see actual people in this. Well, not actual people, but you get the idea.

It's pretty unpredictable. Your clay effects are getting better. Maybe it's just because you used a different format. I guess this wasn't well remembered. It's still pretty nice.

[Rise of the MK: Part 1]

Yep, this is one of Randy Solem's most viewed cartoons for a reason. It has great emotional value to it. I really do feel bad for Mario. The music was just perfect. At first, I thought this would just end before the main battle. It actually started some of it! I am so glad it went the extra mile.

That "Titanic" music still gets to me. Why did it say "To be concluded"? There were three more in the series! I liked when Yoshi crapped out that one guy. The sprite work still holds up well, probably because most of us don't use it anymore.

[StarCraft]

It didn't seem quite like two minutes to me. Oh well, it was still awesome! It was so weird how this had one of the most generic names ever. It was just the same name of the thing you were referencing. I still found this to be enjoyable, as it had lots of great action. I've never played the games, but have seen lots of flashes about them here.

It's great that there's so much going on. It's pretty basic action. You got the designs down quite well. I mean, I guess I can't quite judge since I haven't seen much of the actual game. It still looks awesome!

[I COME IN PEACE]

I really do love this cartoon. It's mostly because the twist is so good. It's also great because it sends such a powerful message. It makes you realize the evils of man. I know that's nothing new with nature stuff, but it was done so well here. The animation is great too.

You deserve recognition for this. It's sad how suddenly bleak it gets. It only shows how we need to give everything a chance. It's great to develop mythology like that. I won't spoil the ending.

[Hostile]

I can tell that this indeed took a lot of effort. You managed to do something really unique with stick figures! It's pretty hard to do that. I just loved how this was done in this widescreen format. Okay, not entirely widescreen, but still great. You have a great voice too.

There was a nice variety of action in this. This main character sure is tough. The animation is done so nicely. Everything seems to fit together perfectly. It was just a very enjoyable stick cartoon.

[Finger Painting]

I think a lot of your other cartoons have the problem of being too short. You can't really flesh a lot out. This is why the series are so good. I am glad that this was different. I really did manage to feel for this guy. It wasn't even mean spirited or anything.

The voices are really nice. You have no idea what's going to happen next. While mundane, it's still pretty surreal. I can appreciate variety like that. The menu is also really nice.

[BLISS (Part 2)]

It was great to see your style again! I know there were some differences. I appreciated the little things going on. It was great to see how heartwarming you made this. It is mostly the same as last time, so I didn't like it as much. It's always great to see a new perspective, of course.

You actually kind of remind me of HotDiggedyDemon. It's something about the main bully. I certainly felt bliss watching this. I hope everything goes fine for these guys. I feel so bad for them.

BryanV responds:

Thanks! Maybe the main bully kinda looks like Mickey the dick?

[A Heart For Sweetie Belle]

I freaking loved this! It's wonderful that you managed to capture the spirit of two great cartoons in one! Button Mash actually appears in one of the episodes! I love the animation so much! This is exactly how this stuff should be at its finest. You put so much effort into every emotion.

I'm pretty you used different "Looney Tunes" audio in this. It's great how something so short can be so awesome! I loved seeing King Sombra too. You have great cartoons like this. I loved all the little things going on. Thanks for this awesomeness so much!

Pikapetey responds:

yes the looney tunes audio is mixed and matched for this short.
The stairs bit is from a looney tunes short called "Porkey Pigs Feet" which doesn't feature Pep le pew at all.

Good thing one voice actor voiced all the looney tunes!! lol!
