Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skyrim : Bear]

That's cool!

I like how you made this so ridiculous and fun. Bears are always going to be frightening creatures, and it's always nice to know how to defeat them. I do, however, like to think that the bear got the last laugh in this. Then again, it wasn't really much of a laugh to begin with, but I guess I should look at the fact that this is a parody. I guess people will simply never run out of Skyrim parodies. I didn't even know it was in the Elder Scrolls series until I found out more about it.

I love how you keep that triumphant music the entire time. It reminds me of the bear that's in the constellations, Ursa Minor and Major, I think it's called. It's nice to have a cartoon that has such an upbeat style. It was fairly short and that is just the length it needs to be. I love how you've really managed to create something unpredictable with this.

[Awesome Kittens]

Why aren't they clickable?

Well, this is a really good submission but my main complaint is in the title. I remember some other submissions like this where you could click them to make them dance. I just wish that you could have had more control over what was going on. Don't be sad, this is still a very nicely done cartoon, especially with how well these characters move. The animation is general is of the utmost quality. I wish it would have gone on longer to hear more songs.

I love how they all have so much emotion in this. You get a sense that these are actual characters who are going out and trying to have fun. It's not the best, but certianly makes a good music video. I'm amazed that you guys have managed to submit all your stuff the same year. I've just seen so many popular things it's hard to imagine you weren't older.

[pokemon crossbread battle]

Not much

Pikario looked like Renamon from "Digimon". For whatever purpose this was made with, it really didn't turn out well. There are just so many things you could have done better with. There is the lack of sound, which you do address, but I'm sorry to say that you simply need to have some of it. I think this might have all been taken from a website that merges pokemon together. In that sense, I didn't think it was very creative even if the designs weren't bad.

It just seemed like it was the same thing happening over and over. There were some times where there was no background which is never a good idea. You could have at least found some pokemon song online to put here. In some ways, it seems like you did try to make an authentic pokemon battle. It's just that you need to have more movement.

[Jesus..Christmas..Skyrim.]

Merry Christmas

I kind of felt like this was one of your weaker submissions. The funniest part was probably at the end when it showed God playing the game. Other than that, I didn't see much appeal to it. The animation was good, but it doesn't really matter if the jokes don't make any sense. I knew I'd see good ol' Jesus in a Christmas flash soon! Everyone really went out of their way to make a Christmas cartoon this year. Man, Jesus needs to shave.

There have been so many Skyrim parodies, I am getting a little tired of them. I like what you say in the ending credits. It's like you yourself have no idea what's going on in this ridiculous cartoon. You'd think Jesus would know how to hold himself after being able to stand on his own after being crucified. Well, I hope you had a merry Christmas!

[Parasitemas]

That was absurd!

It's stuff like that that really makes you worried about people about tapeworms. I even heard something like half of all people in the world have parasites of some kind. This was just one of the most deranged things I have ever seen in my life! I freaking loved it for that! It helps that the animation is downright spectacular and it's great to see such demented artists like Hulalaoo and MasterAardvark working on this. It could have had more of the other NG characters.

It's still great for what it is because you have no idea what's going to happen next. I will never try to make sense of this because I can't. I think the most insane part would be when the tapeworms are all coming out of his urethra. They just go through every freaking hole in the body! It's great how everything is just wonderfully exaggerated.

[Al the Xmas Velociraptor]

That was pretty cool

I think the strongest point here is probably how good the animation is. It's great to see a Christmas submission on well, Christmas. I hope you, well, had a merry Christmas as it's probably mostly over for you. It's especially cool because I really wasn't expecting that ending, like the characters thought I was. Of course, that might have been because I wasn't really paying that much attention. It's still great to see such great artwork with such silly characters.

I knew from this title I was in for a wild ride. I had little idea what was going to happen, because it was pretty crazy from the get go. I think the funniest part was probably when the two elves talked about how they just sat around and did cool stuff. That's all you would have to do in order to be cool. I love the blue loading button.

[700 x 400]

Political statement?

I thought maybe since this was made around this time, it would be about the end of the Iraq War. I guess it was in a sense, but I certainly didn't understand it. The thing I found the weirdest was how nothing seemed to happen in this. It was just a live action and a cartoon image with stuff going on in the background. It looks like the stuff in the background is actually pretty cool looking. Its main flaw is that it just all goes away too fast.

I'm guessing the title referred to the pixel image used or something? It's funny how this is on Christmas 2011 when the last of the Iraq War veterans are leaving. Everything just needs improvement. I can understand an experimental flash being strange, but this just doesn't seem to go anywhere. The music was alright, kind of out of place.

[Memories.]

A bit sad

It seems like it's been awhile since you've submitted something, paultervoorde. What I didn't like was that I thought this would have more of a punchline. It's still great to see all this wonderful animation. I guess the family still loves that kid if they were willing to put him up with for so long. It wasn't that much about Christmas, for something submitted on Christmas Day. That reminds me, I hope you have a merry Christmas yourself if you haven't already.

I knew that something cynical was going to happen in the end of this. I guess I thought it might not because it's Christmas. Oh well, at least family matters are going pretty well for me in real life, at least at the moment. The animation is easily the strongest point. Every character is very well defined and their movements quite fluid.
