Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calvin & Hobbes Tiger Pounce]

I admit that I was a bit turned off by how short it was. I must be on the Internet too much. I thought Calvin was going to get raped or something. I guess I'm just so used to seeing dirty parodies and porn stuff here, I've forgotten about basic stuff. This is still great to see, because of how Bill Watterson didn't care much for marketing. I don't think there is any official animated adaptation of his work.

Personally, I'm more of a "Peanuts" guy. It's still awesome to see how faithful you are to the original comic. I would love to see more of these, only with voices. I guess it would be hard to find some good ones, but I'm sure you could get it done. This is probably the highest rated cartoon I've ever seen here that lasts less than a minute.

[Pedrito Never Sleeps]

Okay, that was a very strange cartoon. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good one. It doesn't help that I was just in a forum about the saddest comics you had ever seen, one of which was about parental incest. Anyway, I guess I admire this for being different. I just wish it had more of a point. I had no idea what the giraffe had to do with anything.

I don't know if there was supposed to be some ethnic joke about the character's name. Was it something about his father? What did Chewbacca have to do with anything? I guess in terms of surrealness, you need something with more going on. I just don't like it.

funymony responds:

Aww man, that's terrible!
Well hopefully seeing multiple crappy silly cartoons has liften you up since then.
I once read the Walking Dead in one go within 8 hours. I was completely depressed the next day.
So depressed, I bought myself a bunch of pizza to get over it.

I'm also greatful that you didn't give it 0 stars because there was SOME effort put into it.
Pedrito was a spontaneous name I gave the little boy character when I animated my other short "Furby Murder Mansion" I'm also hispanic and Pedrito was the name of a friend I had in Mexico.

I found Chewbacca at the thrift store for a dollar and thought he'd be great for stop motion because of his heavy feet and pose-able arms.

I hope you have a good one! Thanks for the review!

[Deadly Space Action #13]

Yeah, I could tell that you had not updated this on the website for awhile. If only you had your other "Bonus Stage" episodes up here. I'm not complaining. I was surprised you would get back to this, especially here. I appreciate the really good animation. While not great, it still had a lot of funny moments.

I think my favorite was when he said he may have to use his fists, dick, or both. I'm getting to recognize these characters better. There seem to be a lot of flash cartoons about eccentric spacemen nowadays. There's another one called "Deep Space". I guess space is funny.

[Villainy - The Meh Escape]

I barely even remembered the previous episode. I think the funniest bit here was probably when Captain Starboard kept referencing his penis. I thought you were going to show Gamma Wiz be defeated, but you really didn't. I'm surprised Seymour Evil wasn't in this as much. It's probably better that way. I'm surprised that this did not win Daily Feature.

The animation was great in this. I think most drinkable liquids have water in them anyway. You can definitley do more with the dumb guy at the jail. Jazza sounded great in this. In case anyone's wondering at 6:05, it says "This Truck Is Moving Better Read Fast Hurry AAAGH!".

[HappyClockDay11F&S]

I'm surprised that something from Clock Day 2011 managed to get such a high rating now. Well, stuff always comes and goes throughout the times. I guess I liked how colorful everything was. I'm glad I don't have epilepsy. I think the guy in this was supposed to be an owl or something. It looked like he was pooping and peeing at the same time.

I don't know what that has to do with clocks. You could have at least had a Clock character in this. The guy may have been intended to be a clock, it's hard to tell with how insane he has done. I understand why you submitted this on Clock Day. You should probably just have a lot more moving images next time.

[Fill My Black Hole]

When I first came across this, I thought it was going to be an infinite loop. I guess it's because I'm just so used to those here. I was proud of myself for finding out the point at which it became a loop, because I sometimes have problems with that. Imagine my disappointment to find out it was not one at the end. The actual cartoon was very nicely done. My favorite part is probably the space manatee.

Black hole is something that sounds like a sexual metaphor easily. You still managed to not even make it that much about sex. The artwork/animation is as fantastic as ever. You're up there with Nitrome for having practically every submission being frontpaged. This is a pretty cool character too.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

oh ericho get your mind out of the gutter, this is about a man with a broken heart that needs to be filled with love, not sex!

[The Noob Adventures Episode 14]

I think this may in fact be my favorite in the series! It's a bit hard to even really tell why. I think it's because you seem to focus on some good characterizations. Here I was thinking I would be swayed by the action scenes. I think it's also because I looked down and discovered the names of these characters. They are now much easier to identify.

I think my favorite part is how mad Milky Dad gets at the witch. Again, it's kind of hard to tell why I find that so good. I guess the voices and the way these characters react to everything is so well done. You really get a feel for what's going on. Yeah, I am now officially a fan of this series. Oh, and the artwork is great too.

[Grumpy Cat Gets Animated!]

Here's yet another weird submission from ebolaworld. Okay, he was just a voice, so it might not count. Anyway, I have never heard of Grumpy Cat before. Since there are an infinite number of cat celebrities on the Internet, I wouldn't doubt if he existed. I do think it's a bit too short. At least it's funny to see his eyes get clawed out.

Of course, if we could injure people who humilated us, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer would be murdered by now. He looks a tad cute in his outfit. I guess it was a bit predictable, but still decent. I saw this on a link from another recent ebolaworld cartoon (one you were billed). I was wondering why it was recommended.

ZenithQuinn responds:

It's mostly just my work, ebolaworld just helped me out with the owner's voice!

[Dot Comrades]

This was a different kind of cartoon from you. I had no idea it was going to be like this. It was strange how you actually had talking characters in this. All the other cartoons from you in the Pencilmation series just had sounds being made. I thought this was really funny. I knew he was going to make a butt forward joke.

I appreciate you trying something different. I really did feel a tad sorry for these characters. For some reason, they remind me of the cast of "Dick Figures". Oh, so those things are called .mp4s. I'll have to remember that.
