Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Edbert and Otis ep. 6-10]

Not bad

This was a big improvement from the previous entry, even if it did not turn out all that great. I liked how consistent you were with the many running gags. Or rather, I liked it how you really knew how to add varieties to them so they did not get old. I think the funniest part would probably have to be when he did not get hit by the anvil, but then got hit by three anvils in a row! It is obvious classic cartoons inspired that sort of thing. It probably need improvement in terms of voice work and animation.

[Banana Phone]

What?!

Call me swimming against the current, but I did not think this was as great as some people say. Granted, it was still enjoyable due to the good animation and interesting song. It is so weird how we never learn where this banana song comes from or why. The idea of a phone being like a banana is simply funny. There is no resolution and no reason for any of this to happen, but it still is a fairly unique idea. I especially like how you guys omitted the black lines around the characters and objects.

[Windows Noises]

How did you do this?

At first I thought you just used a webcam to show how you did this, but was it done in flash? I really have no idea what SNDREC32.EXE means. Whatever way you did it, it was certainly done in a very impressive way, given how great it turned out! You really went out of your way to try to tell a story using only sound files. Given the fact that this is six years old, I can only imagine what you could release with today's technology. It shows that you can do great things with just the basic sound programs you have.

[arfenhouse teh movie too]

The insanity is back!

The intro reminds me of what would later become the 8-Bitch Attack submission. I recognize the beginning as the theme song from "Excel Saga". Given how utterly insane that anime is known for being, it only fits it would be featured here. It was also really cool to see your own avatar as it was easily the best animation that was shown. The funniest thing might be the running gag of him getting hit by the wrecking ball. It is simply impossible to predict what is going to happen next in this!

[Retarded Animal Babies]

D is for Dsylexic

When I first saw this, I actually did think it was kind of a ripoff of "Happy Tree Friends". The only reason was because the yellow bunny reminded me exactly of Flippy. Of course, given that this also has swearing and sex, it is far more disturbing than even HTF could ever hope to die. Click on the hamster to have him burp, BTW. I had no idea this was going to turn into a full series. It just seemed more like a brief parody video that would always be done in the style of a music video.

[Smurfs: The Lost Episode]

Could be better

This was great to watch if only because it had that hilarious "South Park" scene in it. I can tell that is not a part of the actual episode, but the resolution shows that it was done in flash. I wish I had my old toy phone so I could try that out. The thing I did not like about this was that the main gag of licking Papa Smurf's ass just seemed to go on a bit too long. The animation was decent and the cameos were nice, but it was not that funny to me. It reminds me of that scene from "Donnie Darko".

[Resident Beavis]

Kick him in the nads, Beavis

This is an animation that truly needs more love, especially here on Newgrounds. All the sprite work is done very well, and you seldom see "Beavis & Butthead" sprites at all. It was great to start with Beavis saying, "Come out with your pants down". It means nothing but it embodies the stupid humor these morons are known for. I was not expecting this to turn into a "Mega Man" themed thing, as it seemed more "Resident Evil" of course. That of course made it more unpredictable as I loved this thing's insanity.

[Chipmunks Gangsta Rap]

We're the chipmunks!

Apart from having great animation, the overall message sent by this is just so funny. This was way more entertaining than any live-action "Alvin And The Chipmunks" movie could be. The funniest part was probably seeing Winnie The Pooh. Hey, if I was broke after selling millions of albums, I would be pretty mad at my "boss" too. I also love the intro where you can just beat up Dave over and over. In terms of imitating the chipmunks, this was probably a bit slower than their actual chipmunk voices.
