Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the envy of the universe]

Good message

I could not tell if the product placement was legitimate or if it was supposed to be parody. I think this is the first cartoon I have reviewed that came out this year. I was not too impressed at first, because the animation was alright and there did not seem to be much going on. What does matter is that you addressed the situation of how important our space stations are and stuff. I knew something like that was going to happen at the end. The funniest part was probably when he said he understood Earth's gestures more.

The voice acting was good. It seems like you were trying to match what the were emoting as the dialogue came out. So Tempur-Pedic is the one mattress where the wine glass doesn't fall off? Oh yeah, that led to another great moment about why you would want to do that in the first place, but you could. There could have been more action seeing as how it had aliens, but I am guessing that was not the goal. I had no idea the space guys owned that many brands.

[Press Start: Trial&Error]

Didn't know gravity worked that way

This is one of your better episodes, because everything just goes so fast so soon. It helps to introduce a Phoenix Wright parody, as you seemed to have gotten everything except that game parodied. What I think is funny is how he presents himself as the most sane person in the cartoon at first. As time goes on, you actually start to side more with the other guys, obviously. It's a great way to take note of how the female characters are portrayed in fighting games. Hey, if they want to look slutty, that's their right!

There was actually quite a bit of detail put into the characters even though the animation was goofy-looking. It seemed like you guys deserved your Review Crew Pick. I like how there were just so many characters put together in these and they seemed to have a role. Another great part is the constant onslaught of one liners. Everything just seems to fit together well and you even get to go into detail about some of the characters. I hope you had a happy new year, man, were a lot of good things submitted on this day.

Same to you guys

I have reviewed so many things before I know practically ALL of you guys and can identify with your artwork. This seemed to be a perfect way to welcome in the new year. While the cartoon itself did not seem to have much to do with the year, it was certainly fantastic. It is once again a great way to show off the art styles of everybody here. I will probably always go and say that TheBoogley had the best animation. I especially liked the thing he did with the background.

It was great to have a story attached to this, and even one that is clearly explained. The music is as fantastic as ever and it was really cute with what you guys did at the end with the "New Year/Newgrounds" thing. I mean, I really can not find anything for you guys to improve on. My favorite part would have to be the final one. I just love seeing all the Newgrounds characters, especially ones that I did not see in other tributes like the kid from "Ching Chong Beautiful" and Larry. I hope 2011 brings us great flashes like this one!

Happy new year!

This was of course a great thing to review for this new year, even it was not made in 2011. I sincerely thought this was one of the coolest flashes I have ever seen. I am surprised it only lasted 18 minutes, it seemed so enjoyable it should have lasted longer. I have to say that if there was ONE thing I did not like about this it was how the girls on the screen were not as hot as the previous ones. Speaking of hotness, I kind of liked it how you cut down on the furry porn a bit. If only Rouge was there...

Anyway, the thing that really set this apart from other cartoons was that not only did everybody contribute to this, but it was all in the same parts! It was not animation that was limiting to one thing. It was fantastic to see how the animation styles contrasted each other while on screen at the same time! This seems to have nearly every Internet celebrity contributing to it, with LittleKuriboh, Rina-chan, Kajetokun, and Joshua Tomar! Seriously, does every Internet celebrity know each other these days? I am not going to end this by saying I really want a voice in the next cartoon (as I was featured in Kirbopher's TTA series).

Woah, I think this may be the longest review I have ever written here and I have written thousands! Keep up the great work you guys as you are all what makes this website, this Internet, and this world great.

[Well, It's Mario!]

Lots of fun

This reminded me in the olden days of the clever flashes by Randy-Solem. Dang, do I wish that guy was out making new stuff! This was cool because there were a lot of different environments and designs from different games being used. While some sketches may have been done a bit better, it was overall great fun to watch. I had little idea what location I was going to see next in the Mario universe or what baddie would show up. I think my favorite would have to be the one where Mario uses the carpet and it looks like he flies into a giant breast or something.

[No Signal]

Cakes?

I thought this was a very original flash if not the most suspenseful. I guess it just gives off such an interesting tone of mystery, it is hard to come up with a consistent theme. I would like to see this explained, but it's still a fine cartoon. The best part is the animation, as you really worked hard to put dimension into the stick figure medium. It seems like this guy was trapped at a mental asylum, which sort of happened to my brother next time. It was weird to hear that song played at the end.

CaKeS1 responds:

Wow haven't got a response in a while. Thanks for the input, and it seems you understand this pretty well ;)

And I picked Feather by Nujabes because I thought it was calm and added to the strange feel of the animation. Thanks :D

[Snowballs]

Recognized it!

I had seen this before, but it is great to have it here on this website as this site can always use more popular stuff. It was submitted on Christmas, but the only connection it had to it was snow. This was still fun to watch especially the guy's reaction to the guns. I love how this big pile of guns just randomly appears, along with that dinosaur. It seemed like you were really trying to end it all in a big way with him knowing that it was a grenade. The voice work was really good and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

psychicpebbles responds:

thanks man glad you enjoyed it

[Zanta Claws III]

Oh, Matt

It was interesting to see a "conclusion" to this series. I was really waiting for this because last year I was disappointed you did not make a Zanta Claws cartoon. There were some things that I found strange, so why is it that Todd was all bandaged up when Zanta was completely unharmed? The funniest part was probably when he just threw Zanta out of the sleigh. I kind of thought this was one of the lesser entries in the series, but still good. I am glad I managed to see this as myself and my family celebrate Christmas, so have a merry one too!
