Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saten & Jezus]

Wow, I admit that I was a bit let down by how they didn't do any battling, but this was still an awesome cartoon. It's really even better than it sounds. I have no clue what's going on whatsoever. I can recall the man's voice using the same program from Clock Crew cartoons. It helps that the animation is as good as ever. I guess cats are evil.

I just think the opening is so funny with how the animals randomly walk into people. The artwork with how Saten and Jezus just bounce on their animals is adorable. It does seem reminiscienct of your music videos. They're both completely bizarre. Great stuff as always.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

cheers, ericho. a few people have mentioned they expected a fight, but it didn't even occur to me to make them do that.

[Monster hunter the Tour]

I'm going to admit that this was not one of your best flashes. I am (somewhat) a fan of yours, and you've done better. I guess I was just expecting to see more pokemon. They have so many designs, it's great to see them animated. I appreciate the really good animation. I don't know much about Pokémon X and Y.

Of course, I never played the original games. Given the sheer number there are, it wouldn't surprise me if they did make designs like these. The music was pretty good too. I thought it might be a series of sketches or something with how it released the next part. Overall, it's nicely done.

NCH responds:

this episode took me about a week to pull it off to go along with the hype of pokemon XY, so yes, its more considered as a throw away gag episode with some minor character establishment for the hunters and a wrap up from episode 2.

also, game mockup animations is one of my fav mediums of animation that I like to do, so this was another guily pleasure of mine.

[Halloween *short*]

I did not like this at all. I think it's mostly because so little happens in this. It's just a short thing of you being scared. At least you managed to make it into the Halloween 2013 collection. I wasn't scared by those faces. It's been too long since those screamer vids were popular.

It didn't help that it was an infinite loop. You can really only use music videos to work with that. Even that, it has to be better done. Well, I shouldn't wish ill luck or anything on you. Happy early Halloween!

AilieTheWolf responds:

okay thanks for the info

[Skin : A Pixel Nightmare]

I...honestly didn't see why so many people liked this. I'm sorry, people! It was weird with how it was just a bunch of random flashing images. I admit that the images that were shown were pretty scary. It just didn't add up with how there wasn't a lot of movement. I thought this might be a game at first.

In fact, I think it probably would have worked better as a game. I admit that the "skin" title is retty nice. The word "pixel" actually goes well with the ":". I guess I'm just not thinking what most people do. I also liked it didn't end after "Game Over".

ClockworkPixel responds:

it really isn't just a bunch of random images and there was plenty of move... did you watch it? cause it's not hard to follow at all and yes this would of worked better as a game BUT WE CAN'T ALL CODE!! i don't know HOW to make a game so saying "this would work better as a game" fair enough but voting it down cause it wasn't a game? be fair we can only work with what we know

[Tweet To Me-Foxy Apt Ep 5]

Wow, that was truly weird. I was expecting something going on in an actual story, but no. This is in itself a really cool cartoon. It just got a tad too repetitive. I know we're used to stuff like "Badgers" where it just goes on forever, but this was different. It was still decent and had a fox at least.

I guess with all the Twitter craze going around, this would make sense. I truly appreciate how you're back to making good cartoons again. This may be the lowest viewed of any cartoon on the Top 50. Congrats to your fans. I'm sorry I wasn't one of those who ranked it high early.

Affinitia responds:

Thankyou very much for your review, Nikki and I always love hearing from you. We are thankful for our friends and supporters who were able to help move this up the list. MUCH THANKS :)

[Super Happy Fun Time 37]

Well, I pretty much had no idea what was going on. I hope I don't have to go and see the other 36 entries in the Internet to understand it. I appreciate the good animation. It seems like you guys do have good animation in your works even if the actual content isn't that much. I like how the stick exploded. Sorry, I can't remember everybody's name.

I'm getting more used to that "The End" thing at, well, the end. This definitely has potential. It's nice to have your name be a tag. I imagine such long running series couldn't have such long episodes. Still nice.

Alphaman responds:

10/10 would bang this review

[Ducktalez 4: Wishing Star]

Wow, it's great that you finally came back! I like how you answered so many questions in the author's comments. I still think this isn't as good as the other ones. It's just that the third one was so good. I do appreciate seeing these characters and styles again. They look a lot like "South Park" characters.

It's funny to see how the CGI stands out. I wish Scrooge and Vegeta could have been in this more. It's funny to hear these voices. I saw a Beagle Boy down there. I haven't seen "The Iron Giant".

Macaroni-Penguin responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! I agree this doesn't live up to the third one, but I wanted to start my new season with something short and simple so I could give the new style a test drive. Don't worry; Vegeta's still on his way. :)

[The Girl on TV]

While not as good as "Wrong Number" still a great cartoon. What I love most about this is how you have no idea where it's going. I thought she was going to turn out to be a transvestive. Dang, I've been on the Internet too long. It's amazing how you can make something so mundane so nicely done. Dang, you got a 2nd place!

Personally, I think this isn't as good as Starbarians Episode 2 (Part 1?). Surrealism is always wonderful. I just wish it could have gone on a little longer. It's definitley worth checking out. You'll never stop making great cartoons, you know.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks ericho.

[Madness Aberration]

It's great that we're off to such a good start. This won Daily 2nd place, but currently has a higher rating than the Daily Feature. I'm going to go with the Daily Feature. This is just more of a typical Madness cartoon. It's still lots of fun, though. What I enjoy most about this is the ending. It's just so ironically funny. These flashes teach me how to use my dictionary.

It seems like you did a good job of giving the enemies' different designs. I remember "Rich" as being on the poster of an Employee Of The Month award in the second Madness cartoon. Coincidence or direct reference? The music was really good in this. Happy Madness Day to you too!

Gibb50 responds:

Thanks, buddy.
Admittedly, I added Rich as a guy who he was Jack Wernicke was going to escape the building with, but alas, there was simply no time. So I left the end with a silly taste in the mouth of Madness.

[Organ Story]

I was really impressed by this! The animation reminded me of JeremyLokken, making me think he made it at first. As I've said many times before, this is still great in its own way. It seemed like this was taking the form of a PSA. I'm glad of glad it wasn't, because then it would have come across as too sappy. I thought the organs were going to talk at first.

I mean, they had mouths! It instead turned out to be mostly a music video. This is still wonderfully animated and nicely told. I guess the argument against keeping your body unhealthy is a given message here. What do Penn and Teller know?

Splapp-me-do responds:

Heheh, thanks! I purposely avoided the whole PSA thing, didn't want it to come across as preachy. I'd rather let people interpret it however they see fit
