Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic Generations Plot]

When did I dye my eyes green?

I knew jokes like this will simply never get old. The funniest part was probably when Tails said they had to keep a running gag up and Sonic didn't understand him. The animation in this was really good. I think the voices were really cool and Tails' voice was especially the best. I actually find him to have a nice voice. While I haven't played that many of the Sonic games, I have been around the Internet long enough to know what this is about.

I thought Knuckles was the one usually fooled by Eggman becoming good. It's funny because I saw something like this in the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comic book. It wasn't a parody, just the two versions of Sonic drawn together. Yeah, I guess he didn't have green eyes originally. Of course, with those sprites, it was hard to tell.

[Weiner Resigner]

Weinerj!

Woah, you made two submissions in a year that feature hot dogs! It's interesting to see how consistent you are depicting meats. This really got good at the end when the Kool-Aid Man came in and he was thrown out the window. At first I thought it might be a knockoff of "Family Guy" but certainly had some original ideas. It's also great when people make topical flashes. It's cool because you can look back and see what the world was like a couple of months ago.

I was expecting some funny thing at the end, but not this outrageous! It was great to see some cool references to previous cartoons you had made, like with a guy dressed as a burger. It's also neat that you used Weiner's actual speech for this. He will go down in history as having one of the most unfortunate names of all time. It's not nice to ejaculate on other people like that, especially children.

[Dance Roto]

Looks good

Is that you who is supposed to be represented in this? If so, then you really know how to move well. It's probably at its best when you get to see the silhouettes in the background. I am not that familiar with Rotoscope, but it's nice to see people working with it. The music is also quite stylistic and it gives off a nice feeling of being in part of the adventure. Granted, it wasn't that big of an adventure, but still cool.

It could have been longer, but it did pretty well with what it had. I'm guessing it could have been more elaborate, but you don't need that to be good. This is simply a decent flash to watch and the good overweighs the bad. I hope you manage to do well in your semester and this seems like it would give you a good grade. I would know what it's like to struggle in college, especially now.

[Chris Missed]

Hmm, not terrible

I thought the animation in this was pretty good. I especially liked the part at the end where he's being hit by the snowballs. It was a bit weird to see the snowballs apparently outlined in blue. What I didn't like was that it wasn't too elaborate and didn't have much to make it stand out from anything else. It's just that I have reviewed literally thousands of submissions, I always look for something more colorful. I did think it was pretty funny at the end when he was killed by the lawnmower.

I was thinking this was going to end in a violent way. When the kid dodged the truck, I thought you were going to subvert it, but indeed you went back to violence. Don't worry, that's what this website is all about! At least it managed to make it into Christmas 2010. This could have also been longer for having more jokes.

ToonCastleTV responds:

frame by frame animation takes a very long time, so this was all I had time to do. I don't think the blue outlined snowballs really matter lol - atleast you enjoyed it though, I'll keep at her definitely

[Clocky 08 Part 2]

Good for a callback

I had no idea that this was ever intended to be a story of some kind. I guess in the strictest sense, it really still isn't, but at least it's nice you attemped to make something. That being said, this wasn't that much better than the previous one. It is still just the StrawberryClock image rolling around. I hope you had a happy Clock Day. You must have, considering how high the current score is for this cartoon, although that's common for Clock Day.

The music was fine. I just feel that you should have put some more effort into it, like maybe having more of a story or more jokes. I guess the entire thing is a joke itself of course. I'm glad I didn't take this too seriously, but it didn't really leave a good impression on me either way. StrawberryClock and the Clock Crew will hopefully live on forever.

[Clipboards]

Uhhhhhhhhhh

It's nice to know you recieved an award of some kind for this. It's great to see you rapidly making cartoons even if you don't get the award recognition for it. I knew right away that the final joke was going to be about how the woman was used as a garbage can. I'm glad the guy is actually really shocked over what's going on. This isn't so much as about clipboards, as it is about the lack of clipboards. Even the letters are drawn in a pretty cool way.

I admire how the voices really set up the emotions well. It kind of makes you realize how handy clipboards are, if you need some place to write stuff. I would probably feel the same way if that was being done to my wife. I like the usage of lines. The funniest part was of course at the end when it seemed like he'd never stop saying "Uhh".

[Burger Cheater 2]

Poor Patrick Sayze

This is great because it's just so funny with how ridiculous it is. I have no idea what's going on, but it's very entertaining. It's especially weird how these burgers and hot dogs actually have blood, or maybe that's supposed to be ketchup. I'm assuming the hot dog drowned, his bun would get soggy! No idea why he killed himself, but if he had, I would eat him too, even if I was a burger! The animation is nicely done too.

The best example of the quality is how you animate the rain continually going on. It even keeps it up for four minutes! The voices are nice and they seem to fit the characters and the scenarios they are in. If it wasn't a hamburger and hot dog, the fight scene might have been used in a serious movie. He shouldn't swim with shoes and socks on.

[Dark Side Switch Campaign]

Very funny

It makes me realize how long it's been since those ad campaigns were used. It's great that you keep up the exact same background and tone for this. The animation is nice and it reminds me of the stuff done by "South Park". It's funny to just see how his arms randomly appear in some frames. He even changes position in a funny random way. It's too bad you do not have any author comments for something that got so popular!

This was before Episode III was released, and I think we all had some idea as to how it would be. I even joked in my head about Yoda telling off Obi Wan Kenobi for being wrong about Anakin. You'd think a scene like that would have been in the movie! I guess regular Jedi couldn't or wouldn't use force lightning. I'm sure I could find the answer in the infinite Expanded Universe stuff.

[Wonders of the Universe 2]

Some of the best artwork I've seen!

I must be around here too much to think every female is voiced by Rina-chan. I was amazed at how everything worked so wonderfully together in this. I didn't like the previous entries enough to call it one of my favorites, but this changes my mind! It is just fantastic to see the way these characters act and play off each other. I would have to say my favorite character is Linzzey, probably because she's dumb and hot. The captain reminds me of Klaus from "American Dad!".

There are always things that are going on in this cartoon. It only fits that you would have such a massive number of songs and sound effects used for this. It's easy to see how this is slowly becoming very popular. It's easily the best thing LegendaryFrog has worked on in a long time. It makes me proud to be on a website with such fine voice actors. Everything is so dignified and puts so much emotion in everything!

[Phillip's Song]

That was weird

I was thinking that when the title screen came out, it was going to show the actual song, but it didn't. I still have to give you credit for having really good animation. The guy in this is just so surreal. First he starts off by being the Devil for some reason and later he grows hands on his face for whatever reason. If you're a fan of surrealism, then by all means check this out. I felt pretty sorry for the poor little purple octopus.

It was nice to see that guy get nicer as the cartoon went on. He doesn't so much look like an octopus, as more of a toy thing. Well, I guess he resembles a toy octopus if nothing else. I appreciated the notes played, because I would know the struggles of using the piano as I used to play it. Dang, that shows up so many times in my reviews.
