Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico Vs Newgrounds]

Wow, this was just awesome! I had no idea Dad or Blockhead would appear. It's been a long time since those guys have been around. I just loved the silly animation. It fit the mood so perfectly. An inspiration is listed under a profile?

I've never seen that before! Tom Fulp just deserves to be credited with everything. He did promote these characters. Goku is a pretty big part of our culture, but not as much as Mario. Happy Good Friday and Pico Day!

cheppekka responds:

This is my favorite comment so far, thank you for your feedback I'm glad you paid attention to the tiny details of the animation.

[Tiny dad is real]

While I didn't like it as much as your games, this was still quite good. The best part is probably how it shifts so well. You're not quite sure that it's going to repeat itself. I guess I was just hoping for more detail. This seems like an original idea. The graphics are as wonderful as ever.

I just wish you'd be able to not use that shortening thing. This would make a good Creepypasta. I guess it already is. It would make more sense to say it would make a good game. This was creepy enough.

LumpyTouch responds:

Sometimes I like to use short form videos/animations to try out stuff and see if it's suited for something long form. I'd call this one of those experiments, it certainly would be more effective if it was longer.

[A Fifth Generation Nagareboshi!!!]

This was a good little cartoon. I will admit it could have been longer. This animation style is awesome! The best part is probably how bright it is. It was just a guy gushing over a car. I love the omission of the black outlines.

You put true detail into this. Even if it isn't quite the best for me, it's still rather nice. That's a nice thong she got on. I guess I should know more about cars to enjoy this. I just wish for a longer form of this.

lpart responds:

Well you're in luck! This is but a snippet of the pilot episode of a series I'm working on. The pilots current run time is roughly 10 minutes, More on the way!!!

[El Dorado Redialed | Great Big Rock Scene]

Wow, this seems like a collab in itself! I don't remember this scene at all from the original movie! I guess it's been a while. I was impressed by how many art shifts there were. My favorite might have been the Muppet one. It wasn't quite word for word from the movie.

I don't remember them saying "fuck". It's great to see at least some of this come to life. I also liked the gag where the guy's face is replaced with another face on a stick. I really didn't think the movie was that good! It was just okay for me, but you made it awesome!

WesMakowski responds:

Glad you liked it! Hope you're ready for a full 1h 30min version :)

[Zombie Doomsday]

Damn, you're starting to be one of my favorite animators ever! I was amazed at how original of an idea this was. We've done everything with zombies. We've never had a zombie apocalypse with them as actual fighter pilots! It was a doomsday indeed. I was impressed at how graphic this got.

I mean, these were some unique deaths for a zombie scenario. I love the idea of a guy sacrificing himself to stop a plane like that. The animation is of course incredible. What an incredibly unique zombie scenario! I appreciate how it was just nothing but action and gore! What a great way to mix horror with action!

ToadBurgerTV responds:

Im happy you liked it. I have another animation coming up that tops this in all respects methinks. Stay tuned :)

[An Overlord's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Wow, another cartoon like this. Yeah, it's the same as the last one. The loop works great, but I hate this format. It just looks annoying. I like how this guy looks naked. I can't see anything near his crotch, though.

I like those shoes and socks he has on. He seems to have a gold body. We don't see much Cyberpunk stuff here either. I like how he talks. It's goofy and full of energy.

vezanmatics responds:

He's a golden god with socks and crocs and invisible pp!!!

The vibe took a little refining as I was working on him, at first he was a little god-emperor Patrick Bateman until I realized he should come across as way more of a repulsive dork.

[A Serf's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Aww, that was quite clever indeed. The best part was how well it works as a loop. I will admit I don't like this format. I want the whole screen to be covered. Anyway, this had some good animation. I really do like the concept.

I think "Futurama" already did the ads in dreams thing too. I love that robotic design. Rather, that robotic spinal cord. It fits the tone of the cartoon. We should have more dystopian stuff here.

vezanmatics responds:

I always like seeing your reviews Ericho, I've never seen a lazy one. The mobile format thing was something I tried on for size bc I wanted to hit people with this right as they're scrolling on whatever app they can't put down. Reach the most amount of people in order to make them uncomfortable, see. It seemed to work too, I got a lot of people commenting that this motivated them to put away their phones for the day. So mission accomplished! I made art!

And yea the dream ads thing was inspired by an old Futurama joke that stuck with me bc it creeped me out, I guess many people haven't seen it.

[DELTARUNE MONSTER CARTOON SPECTACULAR]

I thought this was a part of the collab. I think it didn't make the cut. I would have remembered it! It's hard to remember everything in something so big! Anyway, this was pretty fun. I wouldn't eat that! Well, I'd have to look closer.

Dang, was the cafeteria a long time ago. I once again, know little about Deltarune. I should have known he'd throw up. This was pretty enjoyable. It was dumb, but in a nice way.

bb-panzu responds:

it was but i forgot to submit it in the final submissions and i didn't realize it until they finished editing

[Tyhond’s Cute Doodles]

To be honest, I kind of thought this was a bit too cutesy. I mean, it's sincere, just not great. With that being said, this is still fun. My favorite part was when you showed the fanart. I really am impressed by someone who was able to have so much of it when you worked for a short amount of time. Well, fanart from someone not that well known.

It's not an insult. The music was delightfully cheery. It set its setting up pretty well. That's a funny sentence, "set its setting". I recognize your other cute stuff.

Tyhond responds:

Fair enough. It's pretty much a small short passion project xD Thanks though

[[Castle Crashers OVA] Green Knight ni Aimasho]

That was a pretty cute little cartoon. I admit to being kind of tired of the VHS Castle Crushers thing, but this was nice. It was pretty short, though. Still, it isn't one of those stupid YouTube shorts things. Dang, I hate those so much. The voice is pretty nice.

I don't believe in astrology. Well, Castle Crashers isn't the most realistic thing, anyway. This was a nice little thing to show off. I realize that "Dragonball" was an 80s anime. This didn't quite give off that feel.

KokoroHatsaru responds:

well I have 4 left of them, so stay tuned XD and also working on OVA 5 already
