Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Goodnight Sweet Prince]

Eh, what?

I was thinking there was going to be some twist ending, but there wasn't. In fact, I couldn't really understand the appeal of this that much. It was weird how the story was just everyone dying. Wow, this is one of the darkest things I've seen here and it seemed to serve little purpose. I do have to give you credit for creating some great animation. You rarely see black and white animation. The way the child cries is also good.

I especially think you have a great voice. You really do seem like you are telling a fairy tale, as the cartoon is itself about that. I guess if you're a fan of dark stuff, you have to give this a try! I was thinking it was going to be a reference to Michael Jackson given its title. I guess the moral is, it's better to not go to sleep than to die.

DieterTheuns responds:

Thanks for the review. The voice was codeblackhayate's though.

That was random

What I liked most about this how the voices were so suited. I could totally tell it was coming from someone who wanted to say like an insane pregnant cat. I love how the Grim Reaper has such a cold way of talking. When I first saw this Daily Feature winner, I had no idea you made it. It seems like you were looking for something even more bizarre than the kind of things you usually make. Now, for the bad parts.

I thought it kind of went on a bit too long and bit off a bit more than it could chew. Of course, I have always been a fan of random humor. Not one of your best, but for the most part, very good. It kind of makes you wonder why the Grim Reaper has a scythe when his touch can kill anything. Maybe it's just for show?

[My US of Whateva!]

Pure satire

Mostly you guys make nothing but flashes based on video games, but this was kind of a nice change. You had previously tackled satire in your other submissions. I think this works because it tries to be not on either side. I can even see President Obama doing something like this. As usual, the super hot chicks helped everything. Geez, I swear you guys are freaking gods at drawing the hottest animated women!

I like how there's so many little things going on, like a Smurf or Carrot Top. The all around animation is simply fantastic. I think the whole "US of Whateva!" was actually a meme that started on this very website. I was expecting this to just be an audio version of the same song, but I loved how it was different. There was another website this was featured on and it was rated as "Whatever" I am dead serious.

[Groundcats!]

This is so awesome!

I think this is one of your best submissions, if only because I love those groundcats. When I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be a parody of Groundhog Day. I know it was too late for that. Besides, it's Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday on the day it was submitted. I was so happy to see those crazy guys at the end of the cartoon. Michael Swain is fantastic as always. I also love how the birds have so much detail put into them.

There could have been some more action, but it was still hilarious. I have never played the "Angry Birds" game on iPhone. This is mostly because I do not have an iPhone of any kind. Continue to make awesome stuff like this as wacky as ever. It was just so fun to watch because of how the colors were so wonderfully bright.

[Welcome To Gameshop]

So good

I'm surprised this didn't win a higher award. What struck me about this as being really cool was how relentless the shop guy was. The funniest thing was probably how he kept doing it even after the customer apologized to him. I don't even think I've ever bought a video game like this before, but then again most of those stores are closed anyway. I wonder if you get video games like you do like movies now? The animation was fantastic as always.

It's always great to see new stuff by my favorite animators. I just have so many here. The voices are done very nicely and they have a great emphasis on putting emotion in the voices. I like how the characters look kind of cardboard cutty, but manage to move well and still have depth. I appreciate all your different ideas.

[- The Wedding -]

That's nuts!

Woah, this is one of the craziest things I've ever seen in awhile! It wasn't so much that there was a lot of crazy stuff going on, as it was the animation was ridiculous. This is like the strangest Ren And Stimpy-esque animation I've ever seen. I see some great things for you, dude! There is so much detail put into all of the characters' faces and it looks great! It also helps that the voices are completely spot on and great to listen to.

I don't know if some of the things the pastor said are physically possible. It seems like he speaks in word salads. I hope this gets the recognition it deserves. It's simply wonderfully abstract even if there aren't that many crazy things going on. There is just so much good emphasis placed on letting the faces tell the emotions.

[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.
