Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Penny the Possessed Baby!]

What I thought was funny about this was that it really did seem different than other things you had made. It's probably the darkest thing you ever made. It seems more like something David Firth would do. I appreciate you trying on a new style. There wasn't a lot of wacky animation in this, but the overall premise was wacky enough. I think the best part is when the baby burns the person's skin.

I like how you consistently keep up that voice. It's great how you used the name "Penny" as it's a very cute name. While not very long, this still delivered the goods. You will simply never stop submitting good stuff to the Portal, will you? One of the most prolific artists I've seen.

LazyMuffin responds:

This is dark? I think that Desktop Stripper and even the second half of Lazy Writing 5 is a lot darker than this. I don't even consider it a new style, I just tried to make it more commercial-ish cause it's also sort of making fun of toy commercials.

Thank you for all the comments, I read them all.

[Savlonic : The Driver]

I have to say that I'm not as big a fan of these things as most people are. I guess I just prefer the other stuff because it's wackier. At least this is still a nicely done song. It's been awhile since you guys have submitted something. Did you guys do all the voices in this? I tend to think you did, because it sounds similar to your other stuff and I just wanted to say that you guys have great singing voices.

It makes me understand why you, Weebl, have gotten into professional work. This looked like it could be something from the "Red" collab. Obviously, it's great in its own right. I like how you give off a sense of wonder and making us look at the world around us. You can find joy in everyday things.

[KONY2012]

This is hilarious! I think this is the first time I saw a satirical take on the issue from this website. It's hard to think of my favorite part, as it's all so good. I myself have not contributed any money to the issue. Kony 2012 makes it seem like the guy is running for President. Then again, seeing as how famous he is, he might as well be. I love how fast paced this is and I knew a fat guy's boner couldn't be that big.

Before we know it, we're going to have a whole section on this website devoted to him. I loved how everything seems to be drawn with different styles. RicePirate is slowly becoming the next TomAto. I love how nutty and insane this is from beginning to end. The animation kind of reminds me of the stuff by LazyMuffin. You are, of course, a great artist in your own right.

[UncleOutrage Marshmallows]

Wow, it's great to have you back after all these years, man! I know this is probably going to be your last submission, but I definitley glad you said so. This is a good submission and I have no idea at all why people have voted it down so much. It's just great to see so many unpredictableness go on in this. I dont' think that's Pat Robertson in the audio, maybe Rush Limbaugh or something. Cereal is so popular you should make songs about it.

This seemed like a really unique experience, even for you. I do wish you didn't have i exist as an infinite loop. The voices are nice in this, but it looks like you didn't make this yourself. It doesn't matter, because you still made the great animation. I look forward to looking at all the other new stuff you have and it was great to have you on Newgrounds at all.

[Game of The Year Edition]

I thought this was really cool, because everything was so vibrant in this! I just loved seeing so many great colors and stuff all moving around. It just seemed like there was so much movement and stuff going on. I can't believe Egoraptor didn't work on this! It's great to see such good satire, even though I do not buy video games, so I don't really understand a lot of the jokes that are being used.

I love how everything is so spot-on. The funniest bit was probably when the Japanese creator of the game appeared and acted racist towards Americans. Everything just sticks out so wonderfully everywhere and I love it! I can see why this has such a high score. This is probably going to be the next #1 ranked submission!

[Grow Your Balls!]

Woah, that was great to watch, it was just very deranged. Of course, I've heard it's some Japanese legend that raccoons have giant scrotums or something. If I saw something like that, I would simply kill myself before that monstrosity did ANYTHING to me. It was great to see something of such high quality. It reminds me of the stuff people put out for film festivals. You might want to enter this, if no one is grossed out by it.

I love the dinosaur monster depicted here. It's cool how you can clearly see all of the parts that make up its body with the green jello or whatever it is around you. The animation is beautiful, even though the content is dead on disturbing. Everything is just so nicely detailed. I appreciate the colors, too.

[Stainville Episode 2]

Wow, this is one of the most bizarre submissions I've seen in awhile! Of course, it's also probably the best one I've seen all day! I was confused as to whether or not this would just be a music video or something. I guess I'm pretty glad it wasn't, because it turned out to be something truly great! My only criticism is that it does kind of drag on in the beginning. It takes awhile to really get the action going.

I just love how everything is so random in this and you have no clue whatsoever what's going to happen next. First, there's a guy who's turning into an egg and other guys who get shot and stabbed and stuff. I guess I should have seen the first one to understand this better. Given how insane it is, I doubt it could help much. Definitley worth checking out!

[Psychadelic Sludge Tunnel]

You simply will not stop making awesome cartoons like this. What's really cool is how you're able to steadily keep up the movements of these guys. I love how each and every one has a different kind of movement. The blue skeleton is the only figure who stays in the same place, I think. The blue dog (or wolf, whatever that thing is) seems to go backwards. The red snake goes forward as does the red piranha or whatever that thing is.

It could have probably had more than just the same thing over and over, but it's still a well done thing. You could have had more colors to make it more psychadelic. The music was pretty good too. It kind of reminds me of the stuff done by Weebl, only better animated. I'm not belittling Weebl, just saying your artwork is better than his.

TheBoogley responds:

after making this I'm considering making some sort of series of these with different shots and connecting them together into a massive psychadelic freakout. Kind of like Vince Collins Bincentennial animation (called "200") from the 70's.

[Dr Whooves and Assistant]

I don't think I had heard any of the audio stuff regarding Doctor Whooves and Derpy, but this is just great to watch! Everything is just drawn wonderfully, exactly like it would be in the show. I honestly think that if a real Doctor Who/MLP crossover took place, it would become like this. Everything about this is so freaking adorable. You wouldn't expect this from a guy who had previously worked on a "Cupcakes" remake! The voices are perfect and nearly spot on.

The funniest part was probably when he was trying to pick up the pen. It's funny, because the person behind MLPFIM also worked on "The Powerpuff Girls". That also featured characters that didn't have fingers. It's weird how he's called Doctor Whooves in the title, when his name is actually the doctor. Then again, the show does the same thing. This is stuff that's so awesome it deserves to be here!
