Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Salad Fingers]

So it begins

It's great to see where such a groundbreaking series started. It's amazing you could do such great work on only your second submission! You immediately got off the bat to do great stuff here. I think the best thing about this is how the words are shown in the air and how much they wave. It gives you a good image of what the character is saying and what he is like. The animation is of course fantastic and it reminds me of stuff by Jhonen Vasquez.

Dark, surreal stuff is always great and this is probably the most popular of its kind here. I especially love how this guy has such a soft voice. From what I heard, it's very difficult in order for a spoon to get rusty. That would explain why he desires that among all rusty things as it's the most rare. I have a spoon with a little bit of rust on it and couldn't help but think of SF.

[Lazy Writing 3]

Too bad

You will simply never stop making random ideas for your cartoons. The coolest thing about this is probably when the grandmother turns into dust at the end. I can pretty easily tell that you are the same voice for all of these. What was also nice was how you consistently kept up your ridiculous animation. It shows that absurd art will simply never die out. It must be painful to live in such a family that's so crazy.

Of course, you might be used to that. I never knew that you were from Israel before which is why your name makes so little sense to me. What's also cool is how you present your family in such a mundane way. Well, I guess the grandma turning into dust wasn't ordinary, but for the most part it was realistic. Not that well detailed, but good.

[[RD11] ROBOT Dancin']

Lived up to its name

It's hard to judge experimental flashes, because well, they're experimental. In my eyes, they're mostly just made for the purpose of making something. That being said, I still wasn't too fond of this. It just seemed to be the same image over and over, and it wasn't a song that I am familiar with or that I find to be particularly good. It actually does look like that's a well designed robot. I am glad you submitted it on Robot Day.

It's a pity it didn't win anything with the high rating that it has now. I think its weakest point might be that the color seems off at times. Then again, I doubt it was even supposed to be that good. Dancing is fun, but when it's just that and nothing else with the robot, it's not very interesting to look at. Having plot is more desirable.

Punisher responds:

You are such a stupid faggot.
Why aren't you dead yet?

[Birthday 20]

I missed this?

This was a really nice submission probably because you have such a personal level to it. It's stuff like this that makes me wish I was younger, as I'm 22. Then again, my brother is 27, so I guess we all have someone around to make us all feel better. I simply loved the part with the voices in your head. Yep, I doubt that will ever go away forever. I noticed that you were reading a Kurt Vonnegut book at one point and I know this because I have books like that myself.

You're one of the few guys here whose real name makes as much sense as his username. I hope you live on to have a long, happy life, friend! I liked how this celebrated all the stuff you have gotten yourself into over the years. That elf kind of looked like Dr. Robotnik. Wait, I've seen designs like that before, I should have noticed that earlier.

[TOME Short: Hackers]

So awesome

Okay, I'm going to stop asking to be a voice in your work. This is a great short. I was wondering when the next episode was going to come out and it seemed like it would be soon, but this is certainly enough to bide my time. It's so great that the animation is so wonderful. I have always been a huge animation fan and it's pretty easy to say that I prefer this over the original sprite episodes. They were of course great in their own right, but this is a good reboot.

I especially like how these characters are such good contrasts. It's rare that you see a villian team where one's a lot smarter than the other. There are so many good, strong facial expressions and actions being shown off. This is stuff that makes me proud to be a fan (and a part of) TOME. The funniest bit was the guy cutting short stating his sexuality.

[Bob the Ball - Episode 2]

Twisted!

I knew Officer Dave was going to beat the crap out of at least one person in this. This wasn't as good as the first one, probably because of the villians. Then again, we did see a Nazi Pirate come back. I simply adore the animation in this. Everything looks so wonderful and you never lose that innocent tone even as more deranged things show up. I guess the dinosaurs were supposed to be zombies as well. I think the funniest part was when Billy mentioned the battle mech was their natural enemy.

I could have sworn the bum was going to bite the dust. Bob himself didn't seem too active in this. What really made it all work was the fantastic animation, which really does make it look like it came from a high quality children's book. It's too bad no more episodes were submitted. This was still a great series while it lasted. I also love how stupid Billy sounds, especially when he's running in circles.

[Bitey of Brackenwood]

The classic

While not one of my favorites, it is great to see something so popular. It's stuff like this that really makes me proud to be a member of this website. While there isn't much of a story, everything is made wonderfully. I especially love the great use of bright and vibrant colors. I think the best animated character here is probably the witch, especially when she's flying on her broom. It makes you imagine a typical day in this crazy world.

It was weird to hear actual dialogue being used if only briefly. It's simply a very pleasant cartoon full of wonder and imagination. You manage to really show a cool variety of original looking creatures in this. You just never know what is going to pop up next in this little adventure. I am proud to be a fan of yours and this series.

[Skyrim - CotN]

Get outta my house

I think this was probably my favorite Skyrim parody. I've seen so many it's about time I picked a favorite. I guess it might seem kind of racist because that was the main reason why I found it so funny. I have mostly seen your stuff with other people, so it's weird to see you work as an artist on something that doesn't have that many actors. I imagine that would happen in a more realistic representation of the Skyrim universe. There are probably few black people there.

I really like the animation and the ending has a great twist to it as well. I knew you wouldn't abandon the funniest part about your cartoon. It was also cool to have links to all the other awesome submissions you guys have worked on. I am glad that I unearthed this one. It won't be long before everyone here has a Skyrim parody.
