Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[El Despertar]

Different, but great

I think this one of the most unique things you have ever submitted. What's really great is how you didn't have a narrator or any dialogue for this one. It kind of makes you realize how stupid the people of the town are in these stories. You have proven that there's a guy who can control things and you double cross him? I should have known there wouldn't be a happy ending here. Again, I don't see how this is comedy.

I like how it had the feel of an old silent movie. I have only seen a few of those and they have been great. While it wasn't around Halloween, it certainly had the feel of something creative. You should know that all the girls in these cartoons never come out right. It makes me realize, that I don't think you've ever done one with a boy.

[The Cookie Seed]

Great!

I really have no idea about the previous installments of this series, but it's just great to see this. I think its strongest point is probably how the animation is so good. You really get the sense that you're in this adorable little world. I love the cute little blue raccoon. I really like how his dream came true. I was expecting a cartoon that had cute little animals in it wasn't going to be all that realistic, just heartwarming.

I like how it looks like it's a giant cookie in the beginning. You go on to see how cool this cartoon turns out to be. I also think the sounds are freaking adorable, particularly when the raccoon gets sad. It seems like you were influenced by Cuboy or Minecraft with how some of the trees are designed to be all cube looking. There are many nice styles used here.

Wow, thanks for that amazing review! This is the type of attention to detail we gave to this cartoon and we wanted it to appeal to the senses (we're still working on the smell, it's a toughie)!

[cate story]

Don't understand this

It's a pity you reloaded this and received such a low score. I can understand why you might be mad because there isn't much going on here. I think the biggest mistake was probably how you didn't have a background of any kind. That is always something you should have in a flash with actual movement. What I also didn't like was how the animation wasn't that good. The gray cat himself was moving so poorly in this.

It's not the worst, but that isn't saying that much, I suppose. I guess the way you mispelled "cate" was part of the joke. I have seen some other stuff by you and can recognize your hot dog avatar. The choice of music seemed rather odd. I think the only thing I liked was that the intro with the Start buttons was good.

[The People's Mario]

It's great to see him

The specific rumor was that Mario was designed to look like Joseph Stalin. Of course, I also heard that Dr. Robotnik was designed to look like Theodore Roosevelt, so is that propoganda too? There have been a lot of funny parodies that portray the Mario series in a much darker way. This is one of the best and suitably one of the most well known. What really works is how utterly gorgeous this animation is.

It may be the most realistic Mario I've ever seen. It's a bit hard to show a Mario cartoon when it's based on a sidescroller but you did it fairly well. I especially love how exaggerated the action is with all the blood and everything. I think my favorite part is seeing the sledge hammer hit the box. That really shows off the dimensions well.

[Heavenly Sword]

Nicely done!

I found it strange to have a cartoon with scene selection that was only a few minutes long. Still, I have to give this cartoon credit for being truly awesome! It is great to see all of this awesome action going on. While I've seen hundreds of stick stuff before, this is still great. I think the best part might be how well you are with the shading and shadows. It really gives a three dimensional appearance to this cartoon.

I have unfortunately never heard of this game before. With all the parodies and tributes going around, you'd think I'd know every video game. The sounds are wonderfully done and they all sync up so well. It's a typical awesome stick flash cartoon on this website. There are so many cool bits, like when he defeats all of them when they pile up on him.

[Short: Declaration]

Not bad

I guess I'm just so used to Madness flashes being longer, I didn't like this as much as most people. The coolest thing about this is probably when you show the dancing at the end. It's always sweet to see different designs with these characters. In case anybody is wondering, the body count is eleven. Then again, I'm not sure what the end of the cartoon was supposed to mean, so it might be thirteen. That has to be the zombie to set the record for most headshots survived.

The sounds and everything else are quite authentic to the Madness series. The animation is on part with most other tributes. I do wish that you would have done something with the trollface. I would have liked to see that guy be killed, because he's a troll! I like how the backgrounds have different shades, if that's even what you can call them.

[Walking the Walk]

I bet it never ends

It's stuff like this that makes me proud to be a giant animation fan. The best thing about this is how each and every character has a different and specific design. It's amazing how the colors are so bright. Everyone just walks around in such a fantastically goofy fashion. The music is also pretty good and I really think the music's title is funny. I could just go on all day describing how awesome these guys look.

If you look closely, you'll find that some of them are not even animals. There's a bath tub and an airplane going around at one point. You even get to see some animals or creatures that appear to fully be created from your own imagination. While it has no plot, it certainly doesn't need one. The tone is fairly cheerful, if non-sequitor.

I never knew you were a giant! It all makes sense now :)

[Friendship is STILL Magic]

Happy 50th!

I am so proud to be a fan of yours because you won't stop making good cartoons. The strongest point here is how awesome the animation is. It reminds me of how good the animation in the actual show is. I guess people mock Princess Celestia because she did banish her sister for a thousand years. You'd think someone could use the Elements of Harmony to help her. Well, the history of MLPFIM is foggy at best.

I just love how you put so much emphasis on the utter insanity of this character. It's also great how there are all of these rocks and words flying everywhere. I loved the bananas reference. Anyone stuck in the same place for hundreds of years would snap like that. At least Nightmare Moon has an excuse.
