Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fill My Black Hole]

When I first came across this, I thought it was going to be an infinite loop. I guess it's because I'm just so used to those here. I was proud of myself for finding out the point at which it became a loop, because I sometimes have problems with that. Imagine my disappointment to find out it was not one at the end. The actual cartoon was very nicely done. My favorite part is probably the space manatee.

Black hole is something that sounds like a sexual metaphor easily. You still managed to not even make it that much about sex. The artwork/animation is as fantastic as ever. You're up there with Nitrome for having practically every submission being frontpaged. This is a pretty cool character too.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

oh ericho get your mind out of the gutter, this is about a man with a broken heart that needs to be filled with love, not sex!

[Grumpy Cat Gets Animated!]

Here's yet another weird submission from ebolaworld. Okay, he was just a voice, so it might not count. Anyway, I have never heard of Grumpy Cat before. Since there are an infinite number of cat celebrities on the Internet, I wouldn't doubt if he existed. I do think it's a bit too short. At least it's funny to see his eyes get clawed out.

Of course, if we could injure people who humilated us, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer would be murdered by now. He looks a tad cute in his outfit. I guess it was a bit predictable, but still decent. I saw this on a link from another recent ebolaworld cartoon (one you were billed). I was wondering why it was recommended.

ZenithQuinn responds:

It's mostly just my work, ebolaworld just helped me out with the owner's voice!

[Starbarians - Episode 1.5]

Ah, I was amazed at how this may in fact have the highest rating of anything on the site so far. Yet, I still have to not give it the full rating. It just seems too short. You had made a trailer for this series, but this is almost as long as it! I still love this, because it's great to see this fantastic animation again. Everyone appears in character so well.

You just have no clue where it's headed. I thought the three headed dinosaur was going to pretend to kill them and they'd both collect the bounty. It turned out to be something much more well done. Maybe people will think they're zombies or poop in the next episode? I knew there'd be big boobed women in this.

HappyHarry responds:

This is short because it's not a real episode, just something to tide people over until episode 2. Episode 1 (which you can view here) is 3 and a half minutes long :)

[Happy&Smile:COF]

Dude, this is the first time I've ever seen this feature where movies are promoted at the end of a movie. They aren't even movies made by you! Of course, that would make sense, as this is the only cartoon I've seen from you. I was quite impressed at how awesome everything was. I never thought I would see a submission from you again! It's great that someone so talented is still around.

I was recommended the "There She Is!!" cartoons. I really was reminded of those when I was playing this. Granted, this is a lot more violent. It's true that good things are worth waiting. I especially like the giant bear boss!

HAPPYandSMILE responds:

Thank you for your interest in Happy&Smile
I spent a lot of time preparing.
This piece was created just by myself and no one else was involved.
So it might not be perfect but please enjoy:)
I will keep doing my best!

[Ragemelon Plump and Juicy]

I was really interested in this at first. I admit that it kind of got less interesting as it went on, but still very good. I think the funniest bit is probably at the beginning. It helps that the animation is as gorgeous as ever. It just seems to really fit the world of these talking foods. It's too bad the Annoying Orange has a monopoly on that aspect of Internet culture.

I think it would have been funnier if the clam (or whatever he was) got to say what could have been easier. It's great to see how dumb the knife is. I was confused as to why they were testing him like that. When he got his rage back, it all made sense! You made yet another great cartoon!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks ericho.

[Fight Fight Fight!!]

I just thought this was so cool! I think it was mostly because it reminds me so much of the classic Street Fighter games. I don't know about this contest you are talking about. There are so many of them on this website I lose track. The red guy looks like a reptile of some kind. I wouldn't expect a reptile to have a sixpack, but I'm not a herpetologist.

The animation moves so wonderfully fluid here. It's pretty much as good as anything else you've worked on. You remind me of golfinho, only not as disgusting. That is probably why I like you more. The work with the shadows is nice too.

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks again for your review, It's great to have your opinion on my work! :D
LoopdeLoop is an animation challenge site that I have been running for a while.

[We Played Nintendo]

I was wondering why this did not have the name "Shamoozal" on it. I thought it was just going to be a live-action sequence at first. I guess that probably wouldn't have worked out well for the website. Then again, the "Numa Numa Dance" was live-action. I thought this was a neat little tribute. It's too bad I never played these games as a kid.

I was more of a Mario guy. It was really cool to incorporate different styles for everything. You all these scenes by yourself? Impressive! I think my favorite was probably the Contra part, with the ghost and everything.

Shamoozal responds:

I almost didn't post this video because of the live action stuff, I wasn't sure if it was going to fly. And yes I handled everything in this video, all of the animated sequences and the live action stuff. Glad you liked it.

[TMNT Hero In A Full Shell]

I thought this wasn't as good as the first one. It just seems kind of random with how the gag is done. I do have to praise you for having some good voices. They really do sound a lot like the original characters. I think this is probably even how the characters would really react in a situation like this. I thought it said "In a nutshell" in the title.

Speaking of which, that "X In A Nutshell" meme really died off. Maybe in another cartoon, he could be in an actual nut shell? I think the catch phrase way reference how turtles do have shells that form a 360 angle. To think, I was bad at geometry. The animation isn't bad either.

DragoonFenix15 responds:

You might have the wrong dude - I didn't work on any "Nutshell" movies.
