Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Four Horsemen]

This was going to be a five star cartoon, until you suddenly had a bunch of kittens die. Seriously, that ain't funny! Anyway, what I wanted to mention was that it was great to see Death with some new friends. I know he appeared in previous cartoons of yours, but I don't think the others did. I didn't even understand what the others were at first. It really helps that the animation is so fantastic.

I liked how they all have fairly unique designs. The funniest part was probably when Death mentioned that no one cared about them with all the new medicine and stuff. Well, everyone dies eventually. Famine has a funny looking hat. I'd like to see more stuff with these guys.

fuck cats.

[60 Frame Collab 4]

I'm surprised this doesn't have a higher rating. I love this because it makes me really think about what it takes to make a cartoon. There are just so many things you have to do. It was great to see so many talented people come together for this. I didn't even know most of you guys, but knew a good number by the sheer amount of reviews I have. I just found this to be really cool.

It's hard to tell which parts were my favorite, because there were so many of them. I appreciate so many different styles being shown. I think some of these were already made. I recognized Robocop from some other of 53xy83457's work. I also loved how the music.

Carr77 responds:

Thanks for the comment! I'm sure 53xy83457 and ESTAR48 will be glad to hear that you liked their work :)
We had a highter rating before, but lost 1/2 star when we got front paged xD

[GARFIELD FALSH COLLAB!]

Dude, I freaking loved this! At first, I was afraid it was just going to be some lame, cheesy thing with no effort but it was anything but! It was just great to see these Garfield comics being deconstructed over and over. The animation was fantastic in everything. Are you guys serious that there was a 1981 comic strip where he did nothing but sleep? Yes, I am one of those people who used to be a big "Garfield" fan.

Now, I really can't help but hate it like everyone else does. I guess it's sad to see how something like this was never even funny to begin with. Thank you "Pearls Before Swine" for existing and pointing this out. I think my favorite was the one where Garfield and Odie appeared as Beavis And Butt-Head. It reminds me of that Lasagnacat channel, I think it's called. May Garfield continue to lose popularity!

TmsT responds:

The strip where Garfield did nothing but sleep for 3 panels was the set-up for a weak gag the following day, where Garfield wakes up and realises he's missed an entire day of his life. If Jim Davis hadn't continued to make (or at least take credit for) consistently unremarkable strips for the next couple of decades I would've thought he was poking fun at the already self-limiting "3-panel daily" format.

[SS Mail - Meaning]

I keep hearing people say this sort of thing encourages psuedoscience. I don't know, maybe the only reason I don't feel that way is because my mom is really spiritual. The video itself is very well done, showing all these wonderful images. You just come across as a person who wants to spread good. I can imagine Penn and Teller criticizing this philosophy in some way. What matters is that you have a lot of good morals set out.

You're telling us how we shouldn't rely on money for one thing. The notion that our life's meaning is something that we make ourselves is a great philosophy. I think even non-religious people can believe in that. It was also nice how everything in the video was presented in a clear manner. You even tell us we don't have to believe you.

[Macrocosm]

Well, this turned out to have the highest score of anything in Round 3 of NATA 2012 and it really shows. It got a bit confusing, but it's still a great cartoon. I have always found the subject of recursion a wonderful one. It was like the one thing in math I was never taught. It would probably be the coolest thing too! The way there were so many Earths reminded me of the comic book "Crisis On Infinite Earths".

I doubt that was the intention, that's just such a great comic, probably my favorite of all time. It was also great how there was no dialogue and you let the story unfold by itself. It's always nice for people to come up with new and inventive stuff. It's just a true gem. Even the title gives a sense of wonder.

[Yotam & Fantasia 06]

I thought this was a really cool episode and possibly your best. I think it mostly works because you go back to your roots of surrealism. It's great to see Funtastia turn into a dog. Yes, it was all a dream, but still freaking awesome. I couldn't recognize HotDiggedyDemon's voice here for some reason. I like how you reference the previous episodes.

This site was running slow for awhile, but it seems to be back to normal now. I appreciate the nice animation, even if there isn't a bunch of movement. I thought it was funny how Funtasia thought they were dating. I was thinking the same thing. You look anorexic here.

[League of Legends General]

How random. I generally know tons of stuff about video games and even if I haven't played most of them, I am at least familiar with their names. This was from something I had absolutely no idea about. Of course, it was funny enough to like. A good cartoon is something that can appeal to all people, not just fans of something. It was also great how you had such awesome animation.

It was nice how you had that sex robot song at the end. This kind of reminded me of "Fullmetal Alchemist" for a reason. I think it was the guy with the big robot companion. I liked the transition effects and stuff. It was weird, but not bad.

[little boat]

At first, I was afraid that there was something wrong with my computer. There was no sound coming from it, but the other cartoons on this website seemed to work. I now realize that you were truly trying to create subtlety with your animation. It seems like the entire thing was a big metaphor for something. I don't even know what but it certainly worked out into something beautiful. It makes you realize how wonderful animation can be.

This is truly a website where people can show off their talent. I think my favorite part was probably when all the fish started appearing. Dang, they were drawn well! I also love at the end where the boat just simply falls off the screen. Again, I don't know what that means, but it's really cool to watch. You have true talent.
