Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Derpcraft]

Awesome!

Woah, this is easily the best animation I have seen in any Minecraft parody! For those of you wondering, I believe the Easter Egg is on one of the monster's faces on the main menu. It was just great to see everything and everyone move in such a smooth manner. For something that was built entirely of blocks, these characters really had depth. This reminds me of a lot of the animation by Egoraptor. You are, of course, a fantastic artist in your own right.

The timing with the voice acting was fantastic as well. Yep, I thought that thing was a duck too instead of a chicken. At least I am more familiar with the game now to get some of the jokes. I think the funniest part was probably when he got all the stuff and went so crazy because of it! There were so many good parts it was hard to pick a specific best one.

[Pencilmation #16]

Best one yet!

Well, of all the Pencilmation things you submitted, this is easily the best in the series. I knew there would be one good enough to give out a "5" to. This was great because you really jumped from one thing to another. It wasn't just one thing themed, it was taking advantage of every classic cartoon mishap. This is really the stuff that made classic "Looney Tunes" cartoons so good. The gags are great, with how they randomly appear everywhere.

It's things like this that make you realize the power of the medium. This was easily the most colorful (literally) of anything you've ever made. I appreciate all the crazy things going on and how it shows how far you have come. I had no idea the main character's name was Hank. It's easy to tell why this series is so popular on Newgrounds.

[Angry Jew]

Needs more

The thing that was wrong with this is that there was not a whole lot going on. While it was interesting to hear about something that happened to you, I did not quite understand this. The animation actually wasn't that bad. It's just like you could have had more going on in the animation. It just doesn't really have anything that noteworthy and doesn't seem to try that hard. I can't really say things to improve on because it happened in real life.

I believe that a person should apologize in something like that. You did not just seem that professional in this submission. I don't want to pry on your personal life, but that's what you exposed the listeners to. I hope that everything works out with this former friend. It is never a good idea to keep grudges and feuds going on.

[42 Boxes ACT 1]

Great!

Wow, these are some of the most colorful and vibrant voices I have ever heard in a flash cartoon! It was just amazing with how fun everybody sounded. At first I thought you had taken audio from something else, because it seemed too cool to be your own! It's amazing how much depth these characters have in appearances despite only being pixels. Every character has an extremely wacky personality. The coolest thing is that they are all different degrees of wackiness!

I could just go on all day about how cool these characters are. It's sweet how they're involved in such a mundane activity like getting the groceries. It's the kind of thing that could happen in real life only without the magic. Everyone was just jumping all around and acting silly in this. I do hope this becomes a full fledged series, and I would love to be an actor!

Mutteo responds:

Thanks. The people working on the project with me really did have a good time working on this stuff. Durinh the hiatus, I did have time to vamp up my skills so visually the work has improved and I have learned a bit more with the work and it will continue to shine as I work on more stuff.

Yes each of these characters have an interesting personality that stand out on their own. Some of them are people I knew in college and I wanted to characterize them in pixel format. Though the drama with voice actors was hard, it is nice to see everything come together. This could potentially be a series, but I am not sure at this point, though act 2 is in the works.

Currently I do not need any voice work done but I'll keep it in mind in the future. Thx for your interest in my work <3

[Resident Evil Code: Pwanchi Pt 1]

Part 1?

It's hard to believe this is just one part because it's so long. If anyone wants to keep record, it's about 14 minutes long. I actually felt this focused more on story than it did humor. It's easy to tell that it was made by a group of people who obviously know a lot about "Resident Evil", which I do not. The animation was really good in this. It was weird how the faces looked so cartoonish but the rest of the bodies were quite realistic. Claire Redfield is pretty hot too.

While there wasn't much action, there didn't need to be for a first episode. It was great to get familiar with the characters again. It's great so many people worked together on something that turned out so well. The shadow effects and shadings are done nearly flawless. I can tell there was real emphasis put on the characters' voices in terms of emotion.

[Jacqueline and the Spawn]

So cool!

I am so glad you managed to get featured on the front page for all the great flashes you have made. I felt you have gotten better in not just animaton but also plot. I was a bit annoyed at how there were so many gags in your other series. I guess I am just reminded of the "South Park" episode that mocked "Family Guy". The best part about this was how exaggerated all the body movements were. There were just people running and flipping out all over the place.

The funniest part was at the beginning when she was mourning over her pet rock. The art seemed to shift whenever the demon came into play. I love all the cute high pitched voices used. There were just so many funny things going on, but they worked to be more relevant to a story. I hope this series gets more popular episodes.

[Shrimps McGee]

I get it

This was one of your lesser entries, because there wasn't much that happened in it. At first I thought you were going to give us real trivia, but I don't think the stuff you said is true. It would have helped if there was more shading and actual dialogue. At least you are not trying to be mean-spirited or anything with this. The music is decent, as decent as any Spanish song used. It just kind of struck me as weird why you used a shrimp.

I don't think shrimp come primarily from Spanish-speaking countries, BTW. You seem to have a different picture of yourself on the loading screen each time. I can tell why this character never really took off. I do dance when I am listening to music on the Internet, but I have to be careful with the ear pieces. It's great to see where you started.

[The Human Snot]

A minute?

This was pretty funny because it actually does a good job of portraying something realistically. The best part was the end, which was really the only joke. I mean, if a blob of snot was like that, it probably would just smash on someone's face. I'm glad that incompetant superhero got run over too or at least smashed. The animation was alright in this one, you need to touch up on your shadings. The snot had a funny voice too.

You made fine use of perspective with how he appeared to be a giant at first. The animation is really the point where it loses points and it is a bit too short. I was expecting that he, as a snot would just run drip everywhere. I think I'll stop talking about how snot works. Never seen a boy chained to a railroad like that, it's usually a woman.
