Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[YoinK Stalks Raffen]

It does look dated

This was a mediocre submission, but I can praise you for getting such a high score. What was weird was that Yoink appeared to be DickNeck in this. Then again, this was made in 2004.... My gosh! You predicted the creation of DickNeck! You weren't kidding when you said this was a documentary that shook America, the original DickNeck should check this thing out. It could have had a lot better animation, though.

Speaking of internet memes, Yoink reminded me also of the Slender Man in this. It was pretty satisfying to see him get shot like that. There could have also been some more action, but it was interesting to show that side of the forums, which I don't really understand. Will there perhaps be a sequel given the hook at the end? You might want to submit that one as soon as you can.

[Moon Diary]

Wow...

I thought that "Trans Fat" was fantastic, but here's a submission that's completely flawless! It only helps that something so long would be so great. I only counted 29 minutes, but whatever. It is not the longest cartoon on the entire website, as it took me 40 minutes to watch "Super Mario Bros Z. Ep 7". This is still fantastic, because there is just so much going on. It's amazing how there are so many characters who all contribute to the story well.

It should be illegal to give this a second place for anything because it's so fantastic. I will probably never be able to understand the true meaning behind it. That doesn't matter, because it brings out a wonderful sense of philosophy and joy in me. Everything moves smoothingly and I especially love the drawings showing what day it is. The color effects are just gorgeous. The voice work and everything else is great, thank you for keeping up my interest for that long a time!

[[KK] Fuck America]

We have some different people this time

It was interesting to actually see a fairly different cast for this Kitty Krew submission. At least you guys didn't create an infinite loop. It's disappointing how I did not seem to learn anything at all from this supposedly informative thing. You guys need to make a lot more than just the same visual loop over and over. It is simply not what people on this website want. I can't be offended by the author comments, because it's just too silly for me to even care.

I suggest you try harder to color in the lines. I know a lot of people say that isn't a creative thing to do, it would probably help you here. At least the lines were drawn pretty well. It was actually interesting to see how every person credited seemed to have a different job for this. You guys can make better things if you put your heads together.

[Bear Warrior]

Again?!

Dude, you guys consistently make the highest ranked flashes on the entire website. This didn't start out that great, but boy, did it get better. As usual, it's great to see the absolutely fantastic animation in this. I have no idea what kind of program you guys use but it is completely flawless. I think I might have reviewed everything you guys ever submitted now. The funniest part was easily the re-enactment. You'd think the bear warrior would be wearing the skin of the cat he killed at first.

I just now noticed that the Newgrounds tank logo is spinning around really fast. Every little bit counts with submissions. The voices were completely spot on, and I think that's how most people would sound if that happened. Who knew that anything involving bacon could go so horribly wrong? I love the way the bear warrior talks.

[Mischievious Monkey Magic]

How adorable

It seems like you were really working on a children's book when you had this in mind. As usual, the animation is fantastic and has a very bubbly feeling to it. I couldn't help but wonder what thing that started with an "M" was going to show up next. As I could guess from your looks, you would know monkeys are an endless source of humor. You might want to even turn this into a real book if you still want to. It's so cute and not ungodly at all.

As usual, it's great to see how everyone moves and flows together so well. It just shows that you can appeal to any audience you need to. That magician hat will simply never die out. You had a nice, soft voice in this and you should show this to your kids if you have or get any. Even "Sesame Street" stuff doesn't look dated to us NGers.

[Bronies]

If only I could taste the magic

This was an awesome flash because it perfectly satirizies the fandom with this show. I should really go to a toy store to check if there are any of those kinds of toys around. You would think they'd be everywhere. It perfectly illustrates what a little girl would imagine in this. Two years ago, you wouldn't be caught dead with a "My Little Pony" toy of any kind at the age most people are are on the Internet. Now, they're the most popular thing.

The funniest part was about now seeing Pinkie Pie's butt. Geez, I have got to watch this show on the Internet some time, I probably will eventually. It's cool how I saw this right after I first heard someone outside the Internet mention it. Stephen Colbert mentioned this exact title on his show last night. The animation is superb.

[Moose.]

Odd, but good

It was cool to see this wonderful animation style. While I couldn't really understand it, that didn't matter because I didn't even need to. The coolest bit was probably when Moose lifted the tree up. This cartoon has no dialogue, which is a good technique because it lets the characters show their emotions through their actions. This guy certainly lets his action do the talking. He does kind of resemble a moose, for being a human.

His design reminded me of the Backson from "Winnie The Pooh". Spoiler: the end credits reveal that the Backson actually is real. BTW, WTP is a great movie that people should check out but it's sad it isn't getting popular. It seems like this could have been one of the "Shades Of X" entry for Blue. I like how the replay button looks like a drum.

[Narration]

Not the best or worst

Here is one submission where the goods and bads really seem to cancel each other out. The good parts were that the animation wasn't too bad. The voicework was actually a bit decent as well. It was a bit funny to see the character talking about narration and then shoot himself. I would probably have the same reaction if my kid shot himself and then suddenly came back to life. It sounds like he's saying, "KK", as in the Kitty Krew.

The downside of this was that it was far too short. There could have also been a background and a lot more color. This, in theory, isn't a bad attribute, but it doesn't really constitute for a whole submission. It seems like it would have worked better if this was submitted as part of a collab or part of a series of sketches. That "y" looks disoriented.

[[KK] heartbreaks]

Too bad

It looks like you didn't make a good tribute to your girlfriend. Then again, maybe by not making it good you mocked your former girlfriend. I wish I knew which of the many actors crediting for this is the one who lost the girlfriend. At least there were not as many credited people as other Kitty Krew flashes. You guys could use a lot of work with design, especially with putting a background in. There was barely any color in this too.

You should have put in a lot more detail in it and it moves too slowly. Try to make it so that the text moves across faster. The music wasn't half bad, but it goes on too long. It's weird how you are even able to get that low in image resolution and still manage to make something out. Actual movement with the characters' bodies would have made this a lot better, too.
