Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[King David Demo 2011]

Quite decent

It was interesting to see how far you have come with your animations. Demo reels have always been a favorite of mine. It's all the work you have done in the past year in a nutshell. I think my favorite bit here would probably be the one where the guy turns into Slash. The drawings of the human body were great too. I can only judge by the animation as there is no audio other than the music. My problem is that it does kind of remind me of "Go! Animate!".

I am so good no talented person here uses that stupid thing. Of course, you are still doing a decent job especially with the facial expressions. I hope you continue to make submissions that get highly rated. What better way to work in a class than by doing flash? It makes me wish I had taken a class like this at one point.

Thanks man, yup I goto digital animation school and am working up for kingdavid demo 2012 allready haha! Thanks for the review - big things comming soon!

[Dragon Ball Zee]

What?

Okay, the funniest part was easily at the end. It's great as always to see the fantastic artwork by Gonzossm. I wasn't quite sure where this was going at first, because I thought it might be a joke about Goku's name. It was pretty interesting to see where it would go. It's obviously in no way intended to be authentic to the anime as nothing like this happens at all. I have to give you props for creating a parody of a single letter.

This was just so random in every single way, it was like a YTP. There was really no continuing jokes, it was just random stuff. I admit I didn't like it as much as most people because it didn't seem to go that far. Of course, I would recommend it because of how ridiculous it is. I guess Vegeta had a good reaction to Goku's kill style.

[C'mon Scoob]

Rather strange

I didn't like this that much at first, because it didn't make any sense. How was Fred hanging himself supposed to be a parody? Does he have suicidal thoughts in the show, because I don't think he did? It of course got a lot better when you included the song, which make up the bulk of this cartoon. I still have no idea how it's related to Scooby-Doo, but it's still nicely done. I knew there was going to be a reference to Shaggy being high at one point.

Sex jokes were also to be expected. The voices in this were actually pretty accurate to the cartoon, especially Shaggy's. Congrats on giving us yet another deranged bit of animation to enjoy! I guess sandwiches was supposed to be an analogy for sex or something? Whatever the intention, this was twisted and deranged enough to be enjoyable.

[When the World Ended]

Too funny!

This is one of the finest cartoons I've seen in the past week. It's too bad it only managed to win Daily 5th Place! At least it deserves its spot on the Weekly 5th place. This is awesome because it's just awesome joke after awesome joke. The animation of the Earth blowing up is just wonderfully done. I knew even from the introduction that this was going to be sweet. It is easily the best thing you, FleckoGold, have ever worked on.

It's great to see how much emotion is put into these characters' faces and bodies. I guess of all the billions of people in the world, scenarios like that were bound to happen. My favorite was either the nerd one or the meteor defense system one. I also loved the astronaut at the end. He's the last man on Earth, wait, no he actually isn't. There's just so many laughs and ridiculousness in this.

[Dog Bum Chancer]

How deranged

Here's a work that I have to give you props for, because this was quite amazing. The preview image made it look like it was going to be about Sonic. Seriously, how many dogs have blue fur? I loved this because it consistently kept up a large degree of insanity, especially with how it kept going on. I would have thought at first it would have ended with the police firing at him. You even went the extra mile and did the dog butt rape thing again!

The animation is awesome in this and reminds me of the stuff by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. Granted, they wouldn't be as deranged as you. It's especially great to see how these characters just move around. They truly let their body parts tell the emotions. You just have no idea what's going to happen next and I guess that since I don't have a job, I'm glad the boss got shot.

[Never Give Up.]

Awesome!

I never thought a Daily Feature with a fairly low rating could be this good! This is incredible because it's a fantastic tribute to yourself for all of the hard work you have done over the years. It's amazing to see so many different styles of artwork in one place! You totally deserve this Daily Feature and it's a shame you aren't more well known. I think the coolest bit would have to be the one with the road and the giant monster in the background. These designs are wonderfully done.

When he said, "What you say?" I was expecting an "All Your Base" reference. Turns out, I did eventually get it in the montage. The music does a great job of setting up the insanity of this too. I hope that you continue to make awesome stuff like this. You have certainly given me inspiration to never give up, even though I will probably never become a flash creator. Thank you for making something so colorful!

[Ajin: The Hole]

How odd

Wow, this is just too surreal to understand. Of course, I still have to recommend it because the artwork is wonderfully done. I am normally not a fan of dark outlines, but this cartoon actually made it work. To think we would get something so ridiculous from a bunch of guys talking at their table. I have no idea at all what is going on and I don't think it matters. It sounds like the Grim Reaper is trying to saw that something is crispy or something.

This could have been quicker paced, but I'm not sure. It might not have been as effective in its absurdity if it had been. This is interesting because you have no idea what's going to happen next. This is mostly because you have no idea what's even going on right now. I would never trust the Grim Reaper who randomly spok about crispy stuff.

[Sniping Lessons w Camper]

It couldn't have ended well

I think the reason why this has such a high rating is because of your recent really good submission. It's great to take a look back at everything. Wow, you actually made a high quality flash on Clock Day that wasn't Clock related! With this score, you should have won that day. What I like about this is how cartoony it is. The way there isn't any spoken dialogue reminds me of the slapstick days of Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

Even the way the words come out are like the signs he carries. The artwork is really good in this one and you know how to give depth to stick figures. It was still a bit too short, but it does deliver its punchline well. It's probaby something I should keep of note if I ever intend to play Counter-Strike. The sounds are funny and goofy too.
