Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thinking]

It's been so long!

I think it's sad you seemed to have faded into obscuruity in recent times. This was great because of how amazingly adorable it was. You appear as this little angel telling exactly what is on your mind. Everyone can associate thinking with themselves, especially me. The animation is fantastic, and you just look so adorable. While I would probably rather see your cartoon self as hotter, you looked great in your cuteness.

Everything about this cartoon was just so real. It seems like you were speaking entirely from your heart, and in no way showed anything artificial. It's great that a cartoon from 2004 manages to get this high a rating in today's age. I will be thinking of you and how sincere you are in your creations. May you live a wonderful life.

[Angry Dog - Catchphrase]

He's one angry dog!

That AniBoom intro you have (and at the end as well) is simply fantastic. I am glad that you work for such a place, even if it isn't that well reverred. This was great fun to watch because everyone in it was just so crazy. I still think it's funny how a duck's quack is used over the swearing. Horseman reminds me of a character from "Ren And Stimpy". It's fun to see that angry dog move around by bouncing everywhere.

It really makes you think about all the work that goes into a catch phrase. It's usually done like a meme, which in the strictest sense, it probably is. The pictures on the credits were simply fantastic. Seriously, that stuff looks like it was painted on a canvas. It's also great how everyone is so deadpan in this nonsensical series.

[Green riding hood]

It's different!

I thought it was really cool to reverse the situation. I guess most modern tellings don't have a sexual overtone to it, although I'm not sure if it was in the original version. It wasn't really so much a parody as it was a nice piece of art. I have no clue why anyone wouldn't want to make out with a hot girl like that. Hey, I'm so desperate for a girlfriend I'd turn into a wolf to get one! I knew that the color would show a twist in the classic story.

The wolf girl herself was really cool in this one. She didn't want to eat anyone's grandmother or anyone, just show off her hotness. The music played throughout the cartoon was also really cool. The only part I didn't like was when he struggled with the ropes. The animation just seemed off in that scene, but for the most part, it was fantastic.

Thank you!

[Rudy gets a call]

It's been awhile

Wow, I'm actually surprised anyone even remembered that "ChalkZone!" cartoon. It's probably the least popular Nicktoon they ever came out with. Anyway, this was great fun to watch because it really deconstructs the idea of childhood imagination. You lose most of your ambition as you get older. The animation was great in this, particularly with how the chalk world contrasted with Rudy's real world. I had no idea you could draw like that!

It was even a bit hard to recognize your art style. The voices were great and it seems like that's actually how the characters would sound in that scenario. It's funny because I am actually 22 myself. With all the crap that's been going on with me lately, I can totally associate myself with Rudy. It's a different and well done cartoon from you.

[Great Destiny Man 2]

Great Destiny Man!

I was thinking this would be more humorous, but it really wasn't. It's interesting to see these characters get introduced and then killed so easily. Moral: Always be sure to get drunk or high or whatever on fruits to avoid slaughter by Great Desinty Man. Good thing spleens are one of the few organs we do not need. Wait, that doesn't matter as this guy is already dead. Anyway, the thing that really made it was the great animation as good as ever.

It seems like you really try to portray all the stock characters we think of in these situations and put them in play. It could have had some more fighting, but still fun to watch. I can see a real story appearing in these cartoons. While not one of your best, it's great to see you look into all different kinds of settings and locations to work yourself with. The rest of the series should be as popular.

[C.L.A.P. 1 : Tones]

Good lesson

I have little idea if this is supposed to be authentic, but given how smart you are, it probably is. The best part was the educational value. The funniest part was probably when you mentioned going down like your mother. Mandarin apparently has more than twice as many speakers as English, so it's great people learn it. A pity there's both a written and spoken language that you have to learn. I just wish that this was perhaps a little more elaborate.

I guess that in terms of educational value, I was expecting something like Mario teaching us. I guess I have been on the Internet too long to think otherwise. The animation that was there was pretty good. You would think the most used language in the entire world would be easier to learn. In English, you really don't care much about tone.

[Action Bunnies]

Why do you keep believing me?

This reminded me of the asdf sketches a lot. When I first heard the title "Action Bunnies" I thought it was going to be similar to "Bunnykill". I guess bunnies are just subject to being blown up and mutilated, huh? The voices were good in this one and I like how smoothly everything moved. I think there were a total of eleven sketches. The weirdest one was probably the lobster part. I love how so much emphasis is put in the characters' body movements.

The faces really do the talking. I am so glad it was not just a single sketch at the beginning with those hats. I think the funniest one was probably the one where the bunny defies the sign and jumps over the grass only to get electricuted. You'd think something with this title would be a bit more serious. The designs remimd me of Poninjas.

[Press Start: Pac-Manic]

Wakka wakka!

This was interesting to watch because it really puts into perspective how the characters take themselves seriously. I love how Count Vile has a fairly deadpan style. Well, nowhere as deadpan as Johnson of course. I was thinking he was going to say that the yellow ghost represented cowardiness. While it was cut a bit too short, cutting a swear off like that is always pretty funny thing. I love how there's so much depth in his voice.

Yes, it does make an annoying sound. The funniest part was probably when Vile was at a loss for words when the pink ghost showed up. Something with no mouth can't be that intimidating. It was cool with that art shift showing the Necromonicon or whatever book it was in the middle. This makes you wonder what the true origin of Pac-Man is.
