Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy InDOOMpendence Day]

Ah, you were so close to putting it on the fourth of July! Anyway, I was really impressed by this because it's been awhile since you've made something. The best part was probably when the Native Americans appeared at the end. You have to give those guys credit for being there first. The voices are really nice and authentic too. I think this is the only fourth of July flash I've even seen this year!

It's nice to know some people still keep up the holiday spirit. That reminds me, there's no fourth of July section under holidays here. Too bad there was never a Charlie Brown Fourth Of July (although they did have a "This Is America Charlie Brown!" thing). It was cool to see this style with the live-action spots. I seriously had forgotten you specialize in that.

[TOME: Nylocke's Day Off]

A six minute cartoon is what you call a short?! Then again, you are the kind of guy who makes 22 minute cartoons for episodes. This was really cool and it was great to see this guy's redesign if that's even the person I'm thinking of. This series probably has more credited people than any other one I've seen. I freaking loved how you showed those sketches. You get a good sense of what it was like to make this cartoon.

I also loved the hammy voice as usual. If you're not too careful, you (Kirb) might very well become the TGWTG of Internet cartoons. Of course, MondoMiniShows is also kind of that. Anyway, the funniest part was when he said they were fighting for only ten seconds. You'd think a demon guy would change his design by now.

[The Noob Adventures Episode 10]

Hmm, this one didn't seem to have as high a score as some of your other stuff. Doesn't matter, it's still a great cartoon and it won Daily Feature. I think the exclamiation points at the beginning signify which episode it is. Anyway, it's great to see all this stuff again. You've made so many good things it should tide me over until your next cartoon. I like this has characters and continuity.

I still think those big nosed guys are supposed to represent Jews. I think my favorite part was when the zombie was on fire. It was cool to see all the characters back with the great animation. Anyone who calls himself "Gaylord" must be crazy. I appreciated the atmosphere too.

[The Cake Quest]

This is really one of the better Madness flashes I've seen in awhile. It mostly works because the designs are so unique. I just love not knowing what crazy thing is going to show up next in this weird thing. I thought the guy looked more like God (well, some depictions of him at least) than it did look like Jesus. I thought this was going to be a game where you would try to get a cake. A pity he never does get his cake or at least not in this cartoon.

It reminds me of the "Madness Interactive" game which started with Hank going after the Sherieff because he stole his pie. Cakes are better than pies of course. So there is a cake so I guess it's not a lie, huh? Anyway, it was neat to see all these unique guys going around everywhere. Congrats on the high score!

[Super Wrestle Night Xviii]

Well, I think this was a pretty good cartoon. I didn't like it how it was a bit too short, but I guess a cartoon made in not much time is expected to be like that. Dang, you guys are throwing in every contest you can come up nowadays! Anyway, I did think the animation was really good. It kind of reminded me of the stuff by Sexual-Lobster. I liked how you showed a dog randomly appearing and winning.

At least it made more sense when the scene continued. It seems like it's been awhile since there's been a wrestling flash that I've seen, much less one that was frontpaged. It's interesting to see what you can do with a single theme. I liked to see what happened in the other wrestling fights mentioned in the titles. Kpheeyat's the new TomAto!

I ended up cutting out the entire middle of the animation and putting together the beginning and end, due to time constraints. Thanks for the review :)

[Solo (NATA)]

I wasn't that impressed by this at least, but dang, did it get better around the three minute mark. It really got into surrealism. Dang, just when I'm done with one massive NG contest, here comes another one! Anyway, congradulations on having the most popular submission of its kind. Granted, there's only two so far, but it's still nicely done. I guess it mostly works because you don't understand it, or at least I didn't.

It seems to be a pretty philosophical cartoon. The end of it makes it look like it was all staged or something. Whatever it's meant to be, it's done quite well. I like the little blue outlines everything has. It gives it a nice and unique style.

[LoL StickFigure Spotlight]

It seems like it's been awhile since there was a stick submission on this website. I had in fact been getting used to them not being around, but you know what? This is a freaking fantastic submission. I just loved how there were so many cool references in this. The part where the one stick figure is attacked in the crotch is when you use a sound from a "Robot Chicken" sketch. Perhaps their most popular sketch.

Everything was so freaking fast in this one. You had no freaking idea what crazy thing was going to come up next. The most unpredictable part was probably at the end when he actually died. Of course, that only makes sense. There's no better way to top off a fight like that than a giant sword! A masterpiece!

[Hank Hanky: Can't Swim]

I really like how cute this is. This was kind of a different look in that it didn't feature the live-action clips. It's stil really cool, because I feel you're going back to your roots. The voicework is as great as ever. You know, most of the time this guy's just silly, but I actually think he had some pretty helpful advice here. I think that thing about not going in the pool after eating is an urban legend, but most people don't know that.

I'm probably too old to ask Hank a question. I just think it's really nice how you're trying to appeal to people with this. I did kind of miss having numerous colors instead of just yellow. I guess I'm not used to that in your works. It's a fine cartoon.

[Team Fortress 2 Fail]

It's hard to say, but I think this might be my favorite you've made in the series. It mostly works so well because it's so utterly insane! At first, I was wondering why this was called a "fail" when it seemed to work out for the guy. In fact, it seemed to work out for him in the end too! Whatever the intention was, it's zany enough to love. I love how he had various hats on at the end.

I was expecting some joke about the pyro because of that recent video. While there wasn't one, this was still really cool to watch. It helps that, as always, you have that great animation. It's nonsensical stuff at its best. I love how madcap you can be.
