Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Post-it Knight]

Very creative!

I thoroughly enjoyed this because it used a completely different kind of stop-motion. It took a little bit to get used to, but it was fantastic overall. I like how it was also a really standard fairy tale story, and it reminds me of that movie "Tangled "I saw last night. You obviously put a ton of effort into this and I am very glad. One highlight was how you made the knight smaller and smaller in the pictures to show him going off into the cave. It is a submission that gives you a true sense of wonder and awe.

[Oh, Mr. Woofykins]

Could have been better

I can't quite put my finger on it, but the quality of this animation looks very different than what you have done before. It is rare I see this kind of style in any Newgrounds cartoon. Additionally, I thought this was pretty good, but it didn't seem to build up to any great punchline. The entire thing seems to be imitating classic Tex Avery cartoons. I too have called some people a "silly goose", but not my pet. The funniest part is probably how stupid Mr. Woofykins looks and how he moves.

[W.A.R]

Great again!

I think this was a really new style for you, at least with the animation. While not as good as some of your other stuff, it was still really fun to watch. I thought he was going to take a dump or fart on that guy's head or something! Geez, maybe I have been around on the Internet too long. I recognized the artwork style, but it was still a different form of animation, and the highlight is how good the shading is. It had a fair amount of stuff going on for a short, with all the guns and blood going everywhere.

[A Christmas For Magus]

Good flash

I guess with how it is nearing Christmas this year, I just had to enjoy this little Christmas submission. Congradulations on your award and score as it does deserve it. It works that it uses that great music at the end. The sprite work was really well done, and I liked the idea of Santa fighting off all those demons and stuff. It was a bit...random to have a cat be that guy's weakness, but whatever. The end also gave me a good heartwarming feeling even if I could not fully understand it.

[Rhg8: Fllffl Vs Yoyo]

How strange...

Dude, you are on a roll, as you just keep pumping out great flash after great flash! The biggest strength of this may actually be the ending. Most of the time, you expect these two guys to chop each other up to pieces, but they actually left with honor at the end. I suppose the wound in the blue guy's fist will cause some damage. Congradulations for being original and for having real depth (both story and artwise) in your submission. Since the one guy used a yoyo, was the other guy's weapon a fllffl?

[Edwin Ep04]

Still good

This submission was enjoyable to watch and I am becoming more familiar with the series. I kind of have mixed emotions about the animation. On one hand, it's pretty well done, but it just seems to contrast a bit with the whole action and comedy thing. In the next episode, I woud suggest more action. The best thing about this was undeniably the voice work as everyone really had a distinctive voice and I have noticed how more flashes nowadays seem to be looking for more voice actors. I think Sapphire might be the next Rina-chan!

[Dawning of Darkness 5 (P1]

Randy-Solem?

It's submissions like these that make me miss the work of Randy Solem, as he's been gone for a long time now. This was great because it had the perfect amount of action in it. The designs for the transformations were fantastic, particularly with Sonic in that gray spiked hair form. I also like the idea of Shadow having a "son". I have yet to see the other entries in this series, but if they are as good as this one, they will be great! It was also cool to use that underrated song from Nickelback, "It's Not Over".

Thanks for all the kind words, but the song you referred to at the end, is by Daughtry.

Thanks for the 10.

[Dance, Snake Man, Dance!]

Hard to hate

The reason I can't really hate this is because the song itself is pretty good. It is also because this just would have done so much better if you had just turned it into an audio submission instead of a flash submission. It was nice to at least have some different shots of him dancing like that. At least there was definitley no false advertising. I was also surprised to find out that it did in fact have an end, even though it did loop. Put in more of a background and have more action going on next time.

[The True Meaning Of B]

Not just that!

You managed to become one of the highest rating flashes on the entire website! I guess on Clock Day that might not mean much, but it's certainly a heck of a lot better than I did. There were a lot of things wrong with this, especially with how it was drawn. You probably should have just typed it out like StrawberryClock did in his classic "B". It just looks not as clean as when you draw it by hand. I would suggest that next time you look to put in some sound or music to increase the chance of it being passed.

TurtleKirby101 responds:

Wow, it got into the top 50? :o

Yeah, it wasn't really very neat.

Sound and music... Well, the thing is... I don't have flash. I had to send it to Basset to make the pic into flash. I don't know if he knows how to put music in flash. If he does we could update it.

Thanks! And good luck with your own projects!

[Resident Evil Pwanchi Pt6]

I bet he will

It was great to see more of this as it is not often people work so hard to get voice actors for every specific role. I loved the credits where it showed the characters in style drawn by Gonzossm. It's nice to be able to identify which part of the cartoon someone worked on in terms of artwork. There were some funny parts, especially with the guy eating the sandwich. I really know little about the names of these characters, so I was just as confused as anyone else about the names. The coolest part was probably when everything just blew up.
