Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Timmy's Giant Sandwich]

True time I hold you (?)

Yep, I knew it was going to turn into something pretty grisly. At least this turn not turn out to be Timmy who was the one who released the carnage on his enemies. The animation was really good in this one and you seem to really incorporate your own style. While there was not much action going on until the end, still great. I loved how he stabbed the knife in his own face. Serves the monster right for stabbing and raping Timmy.

The simplistic animation and narrative made for a pretty scary story at the end. Of course, that was more dark humor than intended horror. I like how the characters have the same expressions even while torturing Timmy. I bet that probably would be the world's largest peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He should have just bought peanut butter.

[Orange You Glad...]

That was unexpected

The thing I really liked in this cartoon were the voices because it seemed to be really authentic. The orange had the best of all. I guess it's not proper to keep thinking of The Annoying Orange when I see stuff about fruit on the Internet. I was not expecting the banana to flip out and kill everyone like that. I could not quite understand the joke because it left out the part where he first says "banana". I guess it's more satisfying when he kills them because the joke was bad.

It was interesting to just look at the lines that were shown in this. The sketchy artwork really entertained me and gave the cartoon a more authentic feeling. It's funny how the banana has such a mood swing when he kills everyone. Well, they were going to meet their fate by the knife anyway. I am glad it did not just end with the first joke.

[Monty Python's FF1]

You're a looney!

The only thing that I did not like about this was how it did not go through the whole sequence. I know that is about five minutes, but that's the only time this guy is in the movie! While I haven't seen it yet, I have seen that scene and know why it's so dang popular. It's especially cool to see the Final Fantasy character show such emotion. It perfectly syncs well with the audio you gave him. The Black Knight looks like he's on steroids here, so I bet he could be a threat even without limbs!

It really makes you notice how Arthur's tone goes from serious to angry to sarcastic. It is great to see how they interact in this scene and make use of a three dimensional world. Granted, it's not CGI but it's so well animated it appears to have depth. It cut off a bit too soon but any part of this is hilarious in its own right. I love how he gleefully kicks him.

[Splatterhouse Collab]

Never heard of it

I don't need to know anything about this game to realize that this is one awesome tribute video! At first I was disappointed it would be with sprites and that does not seem good for a collab. It got better when you used drawings because it showed how unique everyone was with their style. Sonucais was really the only person I recognized here. As the main character had a hockey mask, he reminded me of Jason Voorhees. Of course hockey masks remind everyone of him.

In fact, I don't even think I've ever seen a single hockey player wearing a mask like that! The different animation styles really worked well together. It was great to see him keep on killing things during hte credits! The coolest enemy is probably that one monster that's nothing but flesh and a bunch of faces. It kind of reminds me of the "Doom" game.

[Cirque des Enfants]

Now that's interesting

The really squiggly animation came off as a bit unsettling at first but then I realized that this entire thing was intended to be unsettling! The coolest part was the ending where you realized how horrible everything was. It was horrifying to see the truth behind the circus. I don't know whatever language this is, but I guess in English it means, "Circus Of Infants". The music is also fantastic and really helps with the surrealism. The coolest scene was probably when he was falling through the empty space with the doughnuts.

The music also becomes more cruel when you are aware of what is going on. I love how the imagery of the skulls in the background contrasts with the squiggly line design. It really makes you feel sorry for all the kids who had to go through that! It was obvious that someone with such a long nose was a villian. This is why you never let your kids out of your sight.

[Ode To Scruffy]

Kind of funny

The thing I liked about this was how the animation moved pretty fluidly. Of course, I guess given the content of the song I shouldn't say that, should I? It was weird how you said "vomit" instead of "puke" which is considered less profane. You used the more profane versions of all the other body fluids. It kind of makes you realize how many there are. One good thing was how the guy was just so deadpan in it. I congradulate you on making your own CD with original songs.

This is why I prefer to have cats. They're like less than half the size of dogs so they don't create much waste. The dog just looks really dopey in this so it's hard to give it any sympathy. I like at the end how he just pulls the plug and admits he hates his dog. I hope that if you get a dog it never comes to be like this.

[The Clown Downstairs]

Very scary

Woah, this has got to be one of the most demented submissions I have ever stumbled upon. It just makes no sense at all, but everything works out because it's so dang creepy. When I first heard the title of this cartoon, I suspected it was not going to be something pleasant. This had simply spectacular animation not to mention one of the creepiest atmospheres ever. It seems like the clown is just a dead body at first. It turns out to be something even more disturbing!

There's so much detail put into every aspect of the clown and how torn up his body is. I don't know if he's a zombie, but I doubt you can survive wounds like that. The way he just stands there as the insects destroy his body. He even gets his revenge by eating some of them. This is amazingly scary and a must watch for any horror fan!

Thanks for such a detailed review, I appreciate it!

[On The Bog]

Not one of my favorites

I could not really understand how this was supposed to be that great. I admit that it is a pretty original idea, but there's still not much to it. It appears to just be this fat man taking a dump and smelling his feces. It's not that I'm against really crude things, but this does not seem to have much style to it. The best part was the animation, as it was not only good but pretty original. For those of you wondering there's a picture of a breast on his wall and it says, "My tit senses are tingling".

It kind of makes you realize that tissue paper and toilet paper are pretty much the same thing. There was some effort put into it, particularly with how the poo stained on the screen. There are a couple of things in the background and foreground, but not that much detail. I guess something taking place in the bathroom wouldn't need a lot of detail, would it? Next time, try in put in more jokes.
