Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game Facts: Battlefield 3]

This was another good entry in this series. It took me two refreshes to get it to work properly. I think there's some new kind of layout that this website is using that I'm having trouble getting used to. Anyway, the animation is great as always. I love how utterly stupid these guys are. I knew that they were going to like what they heard, even if it was a fart.

That has to be some kind of weird fetish to get off to that. The voicework is as good as ever. I appreciate you always coming up with new ways to mock the industry. I haven't played those games, so I'm not familiar with it. That does sound like a sound effect from a game like that.

[Bounty + Hunter]

I had trouble with this so I'm glad you gave me instructions on how to just restart the page. This was a fantastic cartoon. In fact, I think it might even be the best animated CGI cartoon I've ever seen on this website! This is the kind of stuff you would expect to see in a film festival. The fact that you honored us by showing it here is fantastic. The fact that there's no dialogue gives the characters more depth.

I was expecting him to get a kiss at the end. I like how he's sort of presented as more of a bumbling criminal who does the right thing in the end. The way the action is shown is of course completely flawless. It makes you wonder if most submissions are going to be CGI, like how most animated movies are nowadays. It isn't too flashy, it's just a great story being told. You deserve this high score.

[Super Slumber Party]

You don't have to worry about something being live-action, because it's been on this website before. The most noted example is of course the "Numa Numa Dance" thing. Wow, just wow. It's hard for me to even think of what to say to describe this. I thought it was going to be some weird porn thing with how it started. I am glad it wasn't. I didn't even understand the final punchline with how he was peeing on you.

I am so confused as to what this was even supposed to be about. At least it's something original, I'll give you credit for that. It just makes no sense whatsoever. Well, I guess it shows that you really can experiment with anything, so this was an interesting thing for you guys to do. I just don't think it turned out too well.

[The Hermit]

Well, it seems like this was a pretty nice cartoon for you to make. I just didn't like it how it was so short and not a lot happened. Of course, you don't need to have that for a good cartoon. I really know nothing about tarot cards, but I think it's interesting that this came by you from a school project. Some great stuff from this website has come from school projects. The animation is pretty good.

I just like how this has a good homey feeling. It doesn't try to be too flashy or elaborate or anything. It's just a short simple little cartoon about a crab trying to interact with his world. I found myself rooting for him a bit. The sound effects are pretty good. I like the omnious music too.

[Ted & Jim]

I couldn't really understand the appeal of this. Okay, I could understand the fact that it had some really cool animation in it, but not much else. Try to have more of a joke. This seemed to be nothing more than some guy getting his head knocked out by another guy. At least the voices were really good. I guess I have to give you credit for creating something out of the ordinary.

It's sad that such great animation isn't played off very well. I would love to see better ideas appearing from this. It's always good to experiment with different styles. It was just too short to recommend. At least it's not the worst thing you guys have done, I guess.

[What the fuck, Japan?]

I was really interested in how cool this was. I remembered the tsunami of last year and then I understood why some people didn't like it. Of course, we do stuff like this all the time here on Newgrounds or the Internet in general. While it did seem like a bit of a cheap shot, it's still a nicely done cartoon. It's mostly because you show off all those awesome Japanese memes. Japan is probably the #2 source of memes on the Internet, with the USA at #1 and the UK at #3.

Trust me, I know my memes. I love how the animation is as insane and fantastic as ever. It's hard to even understand what any of this even means at all. It looks like God was presiding over other religions at first, but I still didn't understand it. It doesn't need to be understood, because it's great.

[Tootsie Roll Dysfunction]

Woah, I had no idea there was such a deranged cartoon as this out there! I freaking fell in love with this cartoon because of how insane it was. The animation is completely flawless, there's always something going on in every single frame. It's simply hilarious that the owl has gone so insane from being asked that so many times. The voice acting is also completely flawless. I especially love how exaggerated everything is.

It's cool to see how these heads and faces just spin around everywhere. In case you're wondering, I have actually myself found out how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop! I did it one morning when I had nothing else to do. I counted 1,376 licks! Of course, I imagine that it varies from person to person depending on what kind of tongue they have. I love how it didn't end with the owl the first time.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Im glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it is indeed very exaggerated. We really wanted to turn the old commercial into a deranged farce against something seemingly innocent. We wanted it to be twisted and unique. I think Sh0t-Down and I made a very good team, since we are both batshit crazy. My friend Alex and I laughed at every idea when crafting this strange world around this strange kid who asks a strange question to strange animals. We were really proud of the outcome. Thanks for your comments!

[Knife Dance]

I can ALWAYS count on you to come up with new and ridiculous cartoons! The best thing about this was at the end when the one guy gave it a perfect "10". I just loved that because I like the notion that this did have a happy ending even though his partner was stabbed. It really makes you care for the characters. Even someone as silly as this should have that. The timing in this cartoon was just great too.

Dang, those are some pink nipples. You really know how to make those stand out in a guy. I was a bit disappointed that this didn't actually have people fighting with knives. It did, however, have a guy being stabbed at the end, so that was good enough. Congradulations on yet another Daily Feature!

thanks, ericho.
