Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bringing you bullsh-]

I'll review each one

1st - 10/10. Easily the best in the series. I think I may have seen that "Simpsons" episode, even though I do not watch the show. The animation was perfect.
2nd - 8/10. I didn't quite understand this one. It still had good animation.
3rd - 9/10. This was really funny especially with how goofy you made the bouncing ball look.

It is great that you are making a collection of the stuff you have worked on in other websites. I usually have to go through all the work of, you know, actually going to those sites to see your work.

[Twilight : Hairy Moon]

Fairly funny

This was a good submission and I especially liked it because the animation was really impressive. While there was not that much action, it's still nice to look at. What was also cool was how the voices were done. Edward seemed so deadpan and Jacob rightfully seemed nervous. There are so many parodies of "Twilight" on Newgrounds it seems like they should have their own section. Hey, the "Pokemon" collection depicts the characters being killed so why not one for Twilight? It seems to deserve more hate than Pokemon.

The best line was probably when he talked about nothing making sense. Yeah, there are vampires and werewolves but you have to put in some logic somewhere. I am surprised those shorts are not torn or anything. I guess they must be brand new. The things I did not like was how it was a bit too short and a little hard to understand.

[All Aboard the Pain Train]

How terrifying

What was really good about this was how the animation was. It just looked so amazingly cartoonish and goofy! It's hard to feel sorry for that kid when he stabs people like that. Oh well, at least I was one of the few people who was able to understand the joke at the end. I am thinking it might have said, "NC" but whatever it was, I know it was supposed to be a parody of CN Real. This stands for Cartoon Network Real.

It was a block CN had at this time where they showed nothing but live-action shows. These shows were original stuff that was just plain stupid and I never even bothered watching. Now, as for this submission itself, another thing I really liked was the music. It gave off a sense of doom in a really cool sense. Let us drink to the death of CN Real!

[I'm a Bear, etc]

Except build team skills!

I have seen several submissions that featured animation drawn to comedy routines and this was the best of them all! The coolest thing was how goofy all the characters looked. You are known for having good animation. I remember hearing that same thing on TV that you should clap to keep a bear away. Maybe they're scared of the noise or something? It takes awhile for the title drop in come in and it's worth it when it finally does.

Everything just looks so goofy and cartoonish in this, especially at the end with the hay. It's interesting how you can work that into a fairly mundane story. The funniest part was probably when he talked about covering yourself in barbacue sauce. This was very light-hearted and funny and I had a big smile the whole time I watched it. Thank you for this very nice submission.

[Colour My Life]

That was effective

I thought I had played all the "Colour" games and it turns out I was right. This was not a game at all, but a full fledged cartoon and a wonderful one at that. What's really cool is how this sends out such a wonderful message of peace. I thought at first I was going to be just a cutscene at the beginning. As it got longer, I realized that was so good it was great as a stand-alone submission. This really didn't have that much to do with Valentine's Day.

Then again, I guess it did give out a message of love like Valentine's Day does. It makes me proud that the game series became so popular. It's always fun when you include a full cartoon to accompany a game. It shows that you can submit decent stories as well as games. I thought that when I clicked "Story" I was going to put the game in Story Mode!

[L'Amour de Rasputin]

Eh, I've seen better

This was interesting for a really short cartoon but there was not much else to recommend. I liked how you put it in the style of an old black and white thing. I think that was what movies were the time that Rasputin was alive himself. I could not quite understand the joke with the shaved beard. This seemed to be something Russian, but the words appeared to be done in French. Still, it was a bit unique.

I find it odd you would want this to be in the "Noir" section. Apart from the black and white usage, I didn't see how it was much of a noir. In fact, I don't even think there were many noirs that were also silent films. It was interesting how even the advertising in this was black and white! The animation was good, it just needed more action.

Battosai810 responds:

This was a surrealist piece, which is why it was in (Googled) French. The beard thing was just weird for the sake of weird; it was a long time ago so I don't know if there was any other reason.

I actually don't think most of Newgrounds' "sections" have been updated in years. I don't know if it's just something that got left by the wayside or what.

Sorry you didn't enjoy this cartoon too much; try watching some of my other, more conventional work. I'm better at making funny cartoons than surrealist ones!

[All Wound Up]

It is violent

When I first saw the title, I assumed it was going to be something dark. I really don't know why, but as I watched it I thought it was pretty light in tone. It runs out I was right the first time. What's really cool about this cartoon is the animation. You really seemed to be animating some of the classic Tex Avery cartoons in this. You just happened to combine the realistic gore of Itchy And Stratchy. I never would have thought this would end with a guy's severed arm popping out of his mouth.

He kind of reminds me of the character Egghead from "Looney Tunes". Another funny thing was how he did not notice at first that he lost his freaking arm! It's a wonderfully dark thing and you have no idea where it's going to turn. I like how it takes place in this featureless, vast landscape. The music is also good and suits it well.
