Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Adventures are the Pits]

I really am surprised that this does not have a higher rating. It's a great cartoon! I guess the CGI does go into the uncanny valley a bit. I still love it because of how great the idea is. It has a great tone of childlike curiousity to it. That's probably because it has an actual child in it.

We all remember what it was like to be in the ball pits. It just had an "Indiana Jones" feel to it. Those are some things you find in ball pits. I like the idea of whole new world under there. I just made you say underwear.

[Cartoon Genders]

I knew that would happen at the very end. I do think the voice acting could have been better. You seemed to be a bit too close to the microphone. I would at least know something about that. I appreciate how good the animation is. It actually is an interesting idea.

Of course, wouldn't his wife not have a vagina by then? I guess she probably would. Well, she already has breasts. Lizards don't have them. Wow, I'm really a perv.

[The World Ending]

That was really a lot of fun! My only complaint is that you should have shown more stuff at the end. It was just a series of stills. It's still a good cartoon because of how colorful it is. You really don't know what's going on. The voice was just perfect!

I would love to see more of this character! A pity she only seems to appear in this. It was simply a very creative cartoon. There's a lot of stuff going on. I like how the screen at the end works.

AtroxChobatsu responds:

Haha, thanks! Originally, there was video there, but it increased the filesize of the FLA by about 80% so we ended up using stills.

If you're interested, you can find Sarah in some other videos in my profile! She's also in "The Speech", "Shadow Puppets", and has an unspoken cameo in "How to Care for Your Cartoon Character."

[Wikishits]

I was pretty amazed by this. It's probably because I use Wikipedia so much. I have heard it is in fact as reliable as any modern encyclopedia, not that we ever use those anyway. I wasn't expecting that other joke at the end. If only this didn't have people crapping out their mouths. That seems to happen a lot for some reason.

It's bad enough vomit comes out, but crap?! I guess that's just how we go nowadays. The animation was really good. Don't worry, I won't give you any money. Of course, I guess I'm giving you SOME attention by writing this review and watching it.

[I Message]

I just knew there would be something gay in this. I guess that's more of my fault. I appreciate how good the animation is. I expected there to be a devil on his shoulder. No one plays that straight anymore anyway. I don't quite get the title.

I also love the voices. I can see this sort of thing happening in real life. Well, maybe not the gay thing. Everything just seemed so appropriate. I also love the cassette tape/iPod joke.

[GayWilliamJohnson]

Wow, that was quite funny. I guess it's kind of clichéd to be making fun of him, but it's still good. I especially love the animation. Everything has an amazingly wonderful amount of fluidity to it. I assume his dick would already be burned off. Well, you're just that cruel.

The voices were great as well. I guess it is pretty childish. I still found it to be funny. Fred should certainly be next. Don't call people gay.

[stick wars episode 1]

This wasn't bad at all. I really do like its simplicity. It seemed pretty authentic to the phantom menace. Mike Nelson said that was the worst movie ever! How can anything remotely good come from it?! The sounds were nicely in sync.

It was great to see a lot of movement. You even made the stick figures look different than most other ones. It was something with the heads. I wasn't expecting him to die like that. The "blah blah" opening was pretty good.

[Mega Man X takes steroids]

I didn't read that this was something you did for health class. Edutainment is such a funny word. I still wasn't expecting something so serious from you. I love this because it really did stick to its message that steroids were bad. I'm so glad there's a drug we actually got something right on. There are an infinite number of misconceptions about every other drug.

It really was a heartwarming cartoon. The sprite work was as masterful as ever. The idea of the bit powerup was brilliant. I certainly hope you got a good grade in your class. You got a good one here!

DragoonFenix15 responds:

Well, the full story behind how the presentation went is... after all my work, the TV set this was displayed on didn't play the sound! The entire class watched it totally mute, but... it still got huge laughs out of everyone. I couldn't believe it! I'm pretty sure I did get an A. Wow, this was... sophomore year in high school!

[8-BIT WATERSLIDE: THE GAME!]

Aww, I saw this coming up and I thought it was a game. It still doesn't matter. It's really awesome as a trailer! It was that submission which made me be a fan of yours. I am so glad to at least acknowledge it! The artwork looks fantastic.

I just love how much he jumps around. Making a game based on a waterslide is a great idea. They're already good as video games in real life! Making one just seems like an obvious idea. I like how this guy screams so much.

teaandcheese responds:

Hey thanks very much, :D

[Shumway]

Yep, I couldn't understand any of this. I recognized that baby with glasses from your other animutations. It was really nice to see all these bright colors. I don't know if the title is in Dutch or some other language. You really had no idea what was coming up next. I just love surrealism.

I'm glad I saw "Mad Max: Fury Road" last night. I knew there'd be something at the end. Then again, that does replay the whole thing. My favorite was probably Banana Man. You don't see him much nowadays.
