Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Final Flatus]

Well, it's not your first thing in ten years. You did make the Peter Griffin soundboard in 2006, so it was eight years of anything. I still understand that this is an unbelievable achievement. I think you have set a record here! As for the cartoon itself, it wasn't bad. It actually reminds me of a funny news article I red about.

It said a guy had air pumped into him accidentally and it took him three days to burp and fart it all out. True story! This certainly was something different from you. I'm always loyal to my favorite authors. I'd love to see you do more stick stuff.

Ringfinger responds:

My first "animation" in ten years, the soundboard doesn't really count as a cartoon ;) But still you're right. An achievement, maybe, but I do intend on making more and improved content. Thanks for staying loyal for all these years though!

[Sick Of McCoy: No Evil 011]

There are actually a lot of people who make shorter cartoons. This still stood out as short from you, though. I loved this cartoon! I think it's one of your best ever! It's mostly because it's great to see these animation and voices again, but there's also quite a bit of action in it. Yeah, I wanted to see that.

I had no idea there were even humans in this world. I think you mixed it up in a nice manner. It's great to get to know these characters more. They seem to always have good intentions. Everything just goes so smoothingly. I don't know how I missed a Daily Feature like this!

[BOSS]

I like the notion of bosses like this. Then again, you weren't quite referring to video game bosses. I think it's great that you told us about how to make a webcomic. Granted, I'd probably never do it myself. Again, it seemed more like he'd be making a game.

I still think the animation is great. It is a really uplifting story. I'm glad I don't have a boss like this. We're on very good terms. I hope everything works out well for you.

[Piles]

I have to admit that I have no idea what "piles" are. I can see the word "hemorrhoids", so I'm going to assume that's what they are. It's amazing how many disgusting things you make songs of. Piles is probably some British term. I'm glad I don't have to deal with them. In a weird sense, this was educational.

I keep wondering what disgusting thing will show up next. I really don't want to give you any ideas. I'm glad they eventually go away. Well, at least it seems like they're going away. This was pretty catchy as most of your songs are.

koit responds:

There's a massive repository of filth out there waiting to be mined. :)

[Robbed]

I have to admit that this NATA round has given us some unique stuff. I had no idea what was going to happen next. While a bit too short, still very nicely done. I especially love how it is a pretty feel good movie. I mean, someone's getting some money out of this. I guess I just wasn't expecting it to go so casual.

Well, it didn't quite at the end. The voices were quite good. I like how strong you put these emotions in the characters. I had no idea something for NATA would get such a high score. Good for you, dude!

Brewster responds:

I'm actually really surprised at the score for this one. Thanks for the kind words

[Thirsty]

I think this is the best thing I've ever seen in any of the NATA rounds! It really was wonderful. You managed to show so much happening in such a short amount of time! The best part was probably at the end. I really did find myself rooting for this guy! He went on quite an adventure.

I thought you'd just be cruel and let him go thirsty at the end. Thank God for cows! The animation was fantastic with the colors and movement! A pity this had nothing to do with the fourth of July. Then again, it was about something hot. I live in Florida, that's me all the time.

[Message in a Cellphone]

This is the lowest rated thing under this NATA round?! It's great! Granted, there aren't many things there yet. If nothing else, it shows how good this round is. While not a favorite, this was still quite wonderful. It was hard to develop those characters in such short a time, I bet.

I really appreciate the animation and music too. It looks like most submissions don't have dialogue. You still know how to tell a story, dude! The colors were done very nice. Short, but certainly sweet.

['Emergency Breakfast']

As the only one I have seen, I have to say that this is the best in NATA 2014 - Round 2. Hey, it's not 2014 yet! I appreciate how the animation is really good in this. I'm not quite sure what this had to do with desperate measures. Then again, it's a fairly ambiguous term. I like the notion of robots eating breakfast.

Everything moves quite fluidly here. If you made this longer, it could probably be better. I know that was difficult given the time frame. I was surprised by the lack of sound at first. It certainly got better.

Butzbo responds:

Thank you Ericho!
Maybe the take on the theme was a bit subtle this time, but the 'measure' was definitively his "head throw".
And I couldn't agree more!, I really wanted to develop this little "world" a little more, although I couldn't get really far during the 4 days of animation.

[MK: Luigi Death Stare]

I am pretty disappointed that this was not longer. Then again, the single joke works. I have certainly seen this meme around a lot. It's always nice when Newgrounders get in on it. The animation was fantastic. I had no idea Luigi could be so evil.

Come on, he's had like three of his own games already! Well, he is about as strong as Mario. I'm not even sure of the difference between them anymore. I like how the coin clicks off. The little things are nice.

[Rude Goldberg Machine]

I love this, because the final punchline is so awesome. I didn't even notice that it said "Rude" at first. I'm just so used to reading it with "rube". The animation was great as always. The only bit of dialogue you had was really quite well done. It was quite different than your other stuff.

You are so prolific it makes sense you do so many things. I was in no way expecting that. It was nice just to see all that stuff together. It had a really sincere tone to it. It was well done.
