Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calvin Carcass #2]

Too funny

This was great because it just showed how stupid this guy looked as he was being torn apart. I guess that sounds morbid, but come on, this is Newgrounds! The best part was the animation which was so slick especially with the train. It's amazing how much depth you can put into a cartoon where the guy's dead most of the time. It was even hard to tell at what time he was dead. At the end, it looked like he had more than five toes.

I guess I'm just so used to seeing a lot less detail put in cartoon toes that I did not notice. It was interesting how the cow that appeared at the beginning later appeared in the cartoon. Speaking of which, I knew something good was going to happen when I saw that cow pooping in the intro. He was just such a well drawn cow. Even the "Play Again" button at the end was nicely done.

[July 4 Celebration]

That was strange

I am glad that people make Fourth Of July flashes. Granted, this really had nothing to do with the holiday, but it's still a tribute. What I thought was weird was that it was just hard to follow with the strange way the characters moved with their lines and everything. I sincerely thought it was going to end on a more uplifting note. At least the sound clip from I don't know which of the things in the author comments was funny. I am also glad people are paying attention to the recession.

At least I was lucky enough to get a job after this flash came out. I guess you would know about handling money, given your name. There was some good satire when the sign joked about not actually having any jobs. I would know what it feels like to see hiring signs and have nothing come out of it. It really doesn't look unfinished.

[Awesome Kombat [CFC]]

Could have been so much better

The animation that you showed in the intro with the two characters was so good! It feels like you guys just wasted potential by having the actual animation be so cheesy. I guess that as a comedy flash it was supposed to be like that, but it came off as annoying. Some of the jokes aren't bad, but they're not executed well. When the "Finish Him" sign appeared on the screen, it looked like you made up a new letter. It was like an "O" in the middle of an "I".

You guys do look like you have a wide variety of other stuff. I would enjoy to see some of that stuff on this website. There needed to be a lot more shading as everything seemed to be a single color. Stuff by other people is silly, but they do have animation that flows pretty well together. It could have also been longer.

Psychopath responds:

I'm glad I finally have a proper context to bring this explanation into:

You see, InfernoCPF uploaded Awesome Kombat at 07/15/08 and it was blammed because of it's low quality. Infact, you can see the original he created here;

e-S-k-O-g

InfernoCPF continued submitting movies only to have them blammed out of the portal and eventually gave up on it; whenever you see that InfernoCPF had collaborated with me on a flash movie, it's actually his with maybe some of my own animation to enhance the aesthetic quality to make it more likely to pass, so that his previously blammed submissions could pass judgement.

However this time that is not the case; I created the higher quality material to serve as a remake/tribute to the original with content I created entirely on my own; audio and all. Suffice to say I only got about an 8th of the way there, gave up. I wanted to come back to it but I couldn't so I came up with the idea to simply combine our two abandoned animations together to make one eligible to pass Judgement and to make for our first actually collab; that is where we both contributed equal portions of the material.

In other words, the reason for the drastic change in animation quality is because the higher quality animation is overlaying the lower quality animation made 3 years ago.

I realize that it could be better, so I have future plans to enhance the quality even further by adding shading to InfernoCPF's animation and correct a few errors. Also the file size for each will be shrunken.

These kind of enhancements will also be applied to all of our works currently published under my account before we proceed with future projects; to commemorate the Newgrounds redesign by redesigning our own works in conjunction with the Newgrounds redesign. We hope to file swap our enhanced works just before the new redesign is applied to the site to minimize the opportunity people have of seeing it before the site is rebooted so it appears that the afore mentioned works appear to be a part of the sites actual redesign.

I have all of InfernoCPF's animations on my PC, some of which he never submitted. He and I have agreed that it's a good idea to continue submitting flash movies like this, combining our spare material together until we run out of shit we long ago abandoned. We're wrapping up unfinished works and reviving rejected business.

[Babies]

Babby?

Wow, I was always wondering where the babies would come out of the man. I guess the anus is better than any other places. This toon was a ton of fun to watch and listen to because it was just so insane and relentless! This is probably the most edgy (or at least disturbing) cartoon TheWeebl has ever come up with. It would take a demented mind like Sexual-Lobster to provide the art! Weebl seems to be teaming up with virtually every other popular NG celebrity nowadays.

The surrealism is at its best, especially when he talks with the purple shades around him. There's tons of unexpected stuff going on, like him eating stuff. I hope that's not he makes babies. It was so stylistic it was hard to figure out when the cartoon looped. I love how the babies look so stupid when they fly around.

[Pokemon: Rare Candy]

Great tribute

This was great because the animation is fantastic and it's a perfect tribute that should please pokemon fans such as myself. I rarely see the main trainers from the Black And White games. I was not expecting Missingno to appear at the end. It came off a pretty haunting feeling even if the cartoon ended after that. The pokemon he was with was so cute with how it ate the rare candy. Yes, there are no officially too many pokemon for me to keep track of in terms of their names.

It also happens to be my birthday today and this was a nice little present! Everything just moves so smoothly in this cartoon. I was thinking the trainer would turn into some super human or something. Even the part at the end that showed the links to your profiles was cool looking! I am glad you are keeping up the good work.

[Trans Fat]

Now that is awesome

I think this may have had some of the best animation I have ever seen in a comedy flash. It's even hard to accept it as a comedy kind, because it's so wonderfully well done. I especially love how the main character has a really cartoonish appearance in contrast to the more detailed environment. It was just gorgeous to look at. I assumed it was going to end up with him being on the ground at the end. The cool thing was that I could make out some of the stuff on the headline screen.

I think it was saying personal stuff like the screen was talking to someone. It was really cool to see those commercials which I think are all real. I know the part about recycling was from something I had seen. It almost looked like that guy's mustache was actually his chin. I am so saddened that this happens to be the only flash you have ever submitted here!

[kenya]

Only in Kenya!

This was a really cute flash because it's interesting to see how cute predators can look. Even when they were gnawing on the giraffes, they were adorable. I loved how you put in a lot of descriptions and words that were not announced in the song. Most of the time, you would have to pause but it gives you time to look at it. I like how the cute design of the predators contrast with the more realistic designs of their prey. It's just adorable to watch them move their little feet back and forth.

They also work because their designs are also simplistic. One of the screens says, "If Kenya was to physically urinate all over Norway* as well as metaphorically then the orange dotted line on the right would indicate the most probable trajectory to ensure a good coverage". Below that, written in red it says, "This is a fairly rare occurence though".

[FA Crew Collab]

Still great

The only thing I did not like was how there could have been a background. While it was never finished, it's still great to watch because it's so amazingly flashy. I guess it makes sense that a flash would be "flashy", eh? Okay, what was really cool about this collab was I think it was the first one I ever saw that had characters drawn by different people fight each other. That's a great original idea that I wish would have been utilized further! You guys look like you got pretty close to finishing it.

I suppose if you do not complete something, you might as well have most of it done to see. It was just great to see all this crazy stuff going on. I think my favorite guy would have to be the green one who threw black balls out of his mouth or something. I wish I could remember the names of everyone involved. It's still a tribute to talented animators like you guys.
