Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[b and z -gas station]

Needs work

The animation itself isn't really that bad. Where you lose points is that you seem to not have this at the right resolution. I know that when something goes to a lower resolution, it can be annoying, but you could try numerous things. The only thing I ever submitted here turned out badly. I think the best part would be when he's firing the staples at the zombies. It was also a good idea to make fun of how cars always explode in movies.

What's annoying is how it just seems to go on too long. A lot of the time, the jokes seem to take too long to really understand. The voice work isn't that bad, but could probably be better. I also wish I knew how to tell you not to make it into an infinite loop. From the title, I thought it was going to be a parody of Dragonball Z, or DBZ.

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 4]

So awesome

I think the funniest thing about this is probably the joke at the beginning. There's nothing like a character complaining that they're not really in a cartoon. This is something where you really have to appreciate the animation. Everyone just looks so wonderfully designed in this and it seems like something straight out of an abstract art painting. The voices are also fantastic. The male rat especially sounds exactly like what a rat in that situation would look like.

It's great to see a funny cartoon that has so much going on. The jokes are so unpredictable. I guess it's not as good as #10, but still a great episode. I like looking at all the detail in this cartoon, like all the math formulas the rat writes down. It seems like the female rat might have gotten in the fourth wall when the obscure character came.

ApocalypseCartoons responds:

meta thanks!

[Friendship is Magic Bitch]

That was awesome!

This is easily your best submission and it really works well because it's so consistently hilarious. The animation is absolutely flawless. It's probably my favorite MLPFIM parody I've seen on this website! I just love how every frame just seems to be showing these guys exaggerating their body movements and jumping all over the place. Every body part is just going off in the zaniest directions. I thought it would end after the first guy.

I am SO glad it kept going on, because it kept up how funny it is. It's weird how people make fun of Princess Celestia like that, when she's only been mischeivous a few times. It, of course, works wonderfully for this hilarious masterpiece. You just have no idea what's going to happen next. You are a great credit to all bronies and everyone who's a fan of insanity. You never let down, friend!

Skaijo responds:

Thank you very much for all of your kind words!

[Paradise Lost VD Special]

Has lots of good moments

I think the best thing about this was probably getting to see that Kefka sprite again. In the early days of the website, you saw him all the time. This is good, because it introduces a lot of cool characters. Onslaught is one of the most awesome villians ever and I'm glad he had a cameo. Trust me, under that space suit, Samus is drop dead gorgeous. I wasn't expecting anyway in the cartoon to succeed like that.

Of course, it could be argued everyone died when Kefka blew himself up or whatever he did at the end. The voices were fairly decent. I thought that this was a part of a series, but I looked at your other submissions and didn't see anything else with a similar title. Of course, in the author's comments, you imply it is part of a series.

[ClockDay08:The Chase of B]

Not much going on

It didn't really seem like anything special, because it was just a guy being chased by the "B" over and over. At least it's nice to know that Benny Hill theme never gets old. There could have been a lot more detail like color instead of just the actual red "B". Of course, this was intended as a spam flash. How come the flash I submitted didn't get a high rating like these others do? I guess I should have made it more about Clock Day.

BTW, it's deleted now, so don't bother looking it up. At least the voice was pretty spot on. Well, it wasn't technically a voice, it was just created with that Speakaphone thing. As a short, very silly flash, this truly does succeed in what it sets itself out to do. It's funny how no matter what the quality is, you still have that awesome loading screen.

Haggard responds:

Yeah, if you want your flash to succeed on Clock Day it should at least contain the letter B, haha!

[Fritt the (C) Ferret]

Better than it seems

I was afraid it was going to be hard to understand what was being said, but I understood it. The censored jokes at the beginning were pretty funny. It's scary how the ferret has a male voice while having four breasts. It's actually nice to see a representation of an animal like that. It reminds me of this controversy I heard about Disney characters being depicted on a Day care center. They were simply painted over.

I guess more websites about the evil of SOPA should be made instead of Disney. I love how amazingly surreal everything you make is. There's a great sense that you're trying to be unique and you succeed. I think the funniest bit was probably when you mentioned that if the ferret was drawn on a baby, the baby would be destroyed. Goofy explosive effects are usually funny.

[Pencilmation: The Caveman]

Makes me hungry

It's great to see this series back, especially when you seem to add something new to the designs. I look forward to seeing where the rest of this will play out. Thank you for telling us the next episode will take place in Egypt, I guess. I think the best visual gag in this was probably when he got a fuse with the question mark. I also liked the lengthy dots. I heard those are supposed to represent whenever a character is not talking.

But if those represent when a character isn't talking, wouldn't everyone have those? Well, I guess I'm probably overanalyzing. I wasn't expecting the bunny to appear. I guess he got a taste of his own medicine when the saber toothed tiger got him. Maybe you will eventually get to a present day time and show someone with a computer.

[Three Little Pigs Anime]

That was unexpected

I have seen a lot of animesque stuff on this website and this was very weird. It was still great, because it was certainly original. I have seen human versions of well known anthropomorphic characters before, but not the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. If you do ever get to finish this, it will probably be well worth it. The animation is really good, particularly how bright the colors are. I like how they still have pig ears.

This plays out just like the actual story did. That reminds me, I doubt if I've ever read the full literature of many of these fairy tales. I think the best part was when the wolf showed how heavy he was breathing. I would love to see how this scenario started out in flash. I know nothing about drawing in Flash, but will still support you.

[MadSeth 5: Enervation]

Happy MD to you too!

While it's been awhile since the day, this is still a good video to watch. I especially like how all of the designs were original. It was weird how you said it was thirty seconds earlier, but it seemed longer than that. I guess my only complaint is that there could have been more action. As these stories don't have much plot, it was still nice of you to include a recap. You really didn't know what was going to happen with this.

The rocket itself looked kind of weird and stood out from the other things. I lost count of the, well, body count. I think this may be the first Madness flash I've seen where there was hospital staff. With all the crazy stuff that goes on in these flashes, you'd think there would be more of those guys. You could just have some more action.

Rapheus responds:

Great review!

-Yeah, I timed the 'Ganondork killing Seth' scene and it came out to about 30 seconds.
-I agree with the action, It's kind of slow. I'll chalk that up to laziness on my part. :/
-Even I had no idea what was going to happen this episode. I turned out different that the storyboard.
-Yeah, I Googled a rocket and traced it in flash, I'm not that good artistically.
-Of course they need medics! Who else is gonna clean up the messes? Haha.

Thanks again for the review, man! :D

[Sound Before Sight]

To be continued?

This kind of left off on an ambiguous note. It seems like this was too good to not have a followup. The coolest thing was probably how the enemies just seem to disappear into dust when they were punched. The main villian in this looked like the Slenderman. It was hard to keep up with how zany it was, because at the end it looks like he grew arms and had multiple hands instead of multiple feet. The music for the credits was nice too.

I liked how the characters' abilities were all really special. My favorite is the Slender Man's ability to create that dark vortex ball thing. Even the credits are really cool, with all the colors going on in the background. It's always nice to unearth underappreciated stuff. It really makes me realize how System Of A Down goes so well with stick animations.

plasmaghos01 responds:

Hahaha, thanks for the comment man, I appreciate it!

and yea, there WILL be a second sometime this year. ;) its going to be 10 times as intense.
