Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[blobba blob blob]

Attack of the blobs!

Probably the only thing I didn't like about this was that it was not in color. Everything else was pretty much flawless. I loved how these monstrosities just turned into each other over and over. There are a lot of infinite loop submissions here, but yours are the ones that truly work the best. They know how to put order into what they do. It's the kind of thing you can look up at and always see new things.

The music is great, and the animation is wonderfully fluid. The cartoon itself sounds like something that would be in a zen riddle. When do these creatures start and when do they end? You do the surrealist community great credit with this awesome stuff. There's even quite a few variations in what they do. I hope you never lose your touch!

TheBoogley responds:

thanks again for yet another lovely and detailed review. Knowing that there are people like you out there enjoying my work really motivates me to create my best work. I plan to eventually colour this and refine the drawing, but this is the best I can do for this one month deadline.

[MOOLT-The Facebook Effect]

What effect?

This was one of the best in the series you have made. It really works because it goes on long enough for you to truly enjoy it. It really got outrageous when everyone kept barfing everywhere with all the flying stuff. The parrot was also a great effect as he just randomly spoke stuff I didn't understand. Everyone is just presented in the goofiest fashion here and it all works so well. The fat guy in the green shirt easily has the best voice.

It's great to hear him go nuts over everything. It's hilarious how his big fat body just runs everywhere in such a funny manner. It kind of makes me glad that I don't even go to Facebook that often. I had no idea he was going to eat the cell phone and mouse cord at the end. It also makes me glad that I have a wireless keyboard.

[Cyberskull]

It deserves it!

Dude, you definitley deserve the reward for Daily Feature for Robot Day 2011! The coolest thing about this was the animation. At first, I thought it was kind of cheesy, but it definitley got better as it went on. You really went out of your way to put a lot of body movements into these ridiculous characters. If this was an actual thesis for school, I hope you passed with flying colors! It just shows you how a holiday can influence a person. It is the best submission I saw for this Robot Day, as you might have guessed.

The helmets looked a lot like the kind used in that game "Ching Chong" something. It's not as much about robots as it is about cyborgs. Of course, I'm being too picky because this is a fantastic cartoon! For those who haven't seen it, the final sentence contains spoilers. I imagined it would be real after all at the end, but not with the bird!

Nogfish responds:

thanks! there will be a sequel ;)

[Bahamut's BDAY Flash]

Happy birthday!

Hey, I think you share the same birthday as TehSlapHappy! I am glad you created something with such an elobrate image to help you out on your day. The things I did not like was that it was too difficult to get the medals. I tried clicking on everything I could, but nothing seemed to work! Oh well, at least I manage to recognize everyone here. I'm not even a fan of yours, I've just seen so many flashes, I recognize everyone here.

It's cool how there's always something going on in the background. It is a bit annoying with how it's an infinite loop, but better than most of its time. I hope your birthday is as sweet as this animation. That song simply never gets old on this website. Wait, I did manage to figure out what's going on and it's not a loop, you just went from a 7 to an 8!

[psychedelic anti-drug PSA]

Anti-drug?

I guess this was supposed to be ironic, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. It just seemed to be unsatisfying with how it was just you talking with this weird effect. If it's anti-drug, it doesn't work, because it doesn't make me want to listen to. If it's a parody, it just seems too lazy. You should also try to put a "Play" button on it. Of course, I would be one to tell you how, because I don't know how to do that or really anything else.

The only thing that was cool was that it was pretty creative. Creative effects, however, do not always make something good. I hope this could be used as a way to see how you could improve yourself. Your voice is also a tad annoying, although I guess it was just supposed to be silly or weird, which worked. It also goes on forever.

SamuraiClinton responds:

If there was some software to use other than SUPER(C) where I could just prop a preloader on, I wouldn't have this issue of not having a way to put on a preloader.

[Press Start: Poker, Mon]

Here it is!

It's stuff like this that makes you realize how long this series has been going on. I was afraid it wasn't going to be a "Pokemon" parody at first, but it was. Gee, I haven't heard of the pokemon TCG in the longest time. I think, in terms of popularity, it got an even bigger shaft than the anime. Anyway, it's great to look back to see how much of the mythology has progressed over the series. You're really getting introduced more to the characters.

I had never even seen Johnson before he turned into a turtle! The quality of animation certainly got up the longer it went on. It's great you have managed to make not one, but TWO live-action movies out of this. Wow, you made this joke long before the Nostalgia Critic did. It even manages to make it relevant to the theme!

[mario vs. bad guys]

That was a bit good

This worked on some levels mostly because of how good the graphics are. It seems like you were really trying to incorporate a lot of the spritework of various games on this. In case anyone's wondering, the 1up Mushroom is when Mario falls on Kamek. It wasn't even that good of an Easter Egg. I suggest that you work at putting more detail on the backgrounds. The best part was when Mario fought Yoshi.

I was seriously not expecting something that epic in this cartoon. I liked how there was also some drawn stuff like the sound effect words. You should have made it so that you could go back to where the Easter egg left off. It just shows that Mario cartoons will simply never get off this website! Congrats on the very high rating.
