Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pencilmation #26]

This was one of your wackiest cartoons, but also one of your best! It's not often that a cartoon manages to win all three main awards! I think the best part about this is how you have no idea what's going to to happen next. I just happen to be watching an episode of "Futurama" that's also about eggs being fertilized. What a coincidence! Anything is cool when you put Tie Fighters in it.

I guess the sperm was black to represent Darth Vader. I shouldn't have thought that was racist at first. There's just so many cool things going on. It's also a pretty big divergence from what you usually draw. I didn't expect nothing but the best for the greatest submission of all time! Seriously, it's the highest rated thing right now.

captainmcross responds:

Thanks! These days I've been working in a stream-of-consciousness style, just doodling as I go, and it is yielding some extreme wackiness...

[Madness Vincictation]

While this was too short, it was still a great cartoon. The best part of it was probably how good the character designs were. I didn't even notice at first that many of them weren't even yours! I guess it shows how many times these characters have been used and imitated. I love how they have yellow blood. Yes, that's from the original series, but it looks great here.

I like how there's such a wide variety of colors too. It really contrasts well with the black and white. The sound effects are as good as any Madness cartoon. The effects and animation are as good as ever. I was rooting for them to kill that guy at the beginning.

Gibb50 responds:

What a well thought out review
I thank you from that special place in my grey Madness heart

[Antumbra]

I was surprised and possibly and a bit confused by this. Recursion has always been an interesting topic for me to explore. I think you may have made an error or two in understanding its true purpose, but who cares? What matters is that the animation is great. What's also weird is how you really find yourself rooting for the guy here. There's no dialogue, just great animation.

I'm surprised this didn't get a higher award. In the past couple of days, the Daily Feature winners have gotten pretty low scores in comparison to other times. Even the logo is done in a pretty cool way! So that's what an an all nigher is like. I hope I never have to pull one of those.

Pyrowman responds:

If by 'errors' you mean the part where they stack on top of eachother, it was fully intentional. I wanted to confuse the viewer by bending the rules I made, just when they get comfortable with it.

Thanks for your splendid review!

[[RD10] Dancin' ROBOT]

I admit that this was at least better than some of the other stuff you've worked on. I think it appealed to me somewhat because it's a funny image. I still can't help but feel this would work a lot better on a certain other website. I hope you know what it is. I like how silly this robot looks. I think the coolest things about it might be how it looks like it has marshmellows on its body. I don't know enough about robotics to know what that is.

Hey, congradulations on Underdog Of The Week! With the high score, you really deserved it! I liked how that's a prize that isn't really positive or negative. It's kind of funny to see that guy just dance around for no reason. I hope you had a great Robot Day.

Punisher responds:

I hate you so much.

[SF: Fight or Fetish?]

I thought that was fairly funny. I always noticed that it seemed strange that Sakura was running around in those clothes. I honestly don't think there's ever been a character who had more panty shots than her. You'd think Chun-Li would be the more fanservicey character. Of course, Cammy could also qualify. This seems more like something Randy-Solem would make.

BTW, may that wonderful man rest in peace. Of course, as your name says, you are a bigger fan of Street Fighter than most other things. I guess most people were just expecting your next work to be in the Zelda Misadventures series. Those are better than those. I don't even remember SSII: The Satire Edition.

VicHD responds:

Nah, Randy (R.I.P) was more into toilet humor, believe me. As for Sakura, despite her being an easy target for this kind of joke, I have to say that she is my personal favorite of the Street Fighter girls.

on a side note, haven't you noticed how CAPCOM has frequently perved on most of their female characters over the years from Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil and even in Mega Man? it makes you wonder...

[Pkmn: World of Chaos Ep 8]

While not as good the previous entry, this was still great. It's really interesting to be introduced to all of these new pokemon. There were just so many of them, I think I lost track after 500. If YOU can seriously recognize all of them, I appreciate you. I liked how there were a lot of different art techniques being used. You used a Digimon game music in a pokemon fan flash, you traitors!

The best part is probably the dynamic between Teejay and Gardevoir. If fighting pokemon could talk, that's probably what they would say. I'm not even familiar with the new gym leaders now. I didn't know he'd get a new pokemon here. There's always something going on in these cartoons.

teejay-number13 responds:

I'm still working on learning some of the new pokemon as well, since I didn't get into B&W as much as the previous games. The gym leaders are fan character entries for a gym leader contest I held. So they are not from the games.

[The Four Horsemen]

This was going to be a five star cartoon, until you suddenly had a bunch of kittens die. Seriously, that ain't funny! Anyway, what I wanted to mention was that it was great to see Death with some new friends. I know he appeared in previous cartoons of yours, but I don't think the others did. I didn't even understand what the others were at first. It really helps that the animation is so fantastic.

I liked how they all have fairly unique designs. The funniest part was probably when Death mentioned that no one cared about them with all the new medicine and stuff. Well, everyone dies eventually. Famine has a funny looking hat. I'd like to see more stuff with these guys.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

fuck cats.

[60 Frame Collab 4]

I'm surprised this doesn't have a higher rating. I love this because it makes me really think about what it takes to make a cartoon. There are just so many things you have to do. It was great to see so many talented people come together for this. I didn't even know most of you guys, but knew a good number by the sheer amount of reviews I have. I just found this to be really cool.

It's hard to tell which parts were my favorite, because there were so many of them. I appreciate so many different styles being shown. I think some of these were already made. I recognized Robocop from some other of 53xy83457's work. I also loved how the music.

Carr77 responds:

Thanks for the comment! I'm sure 53xy83457 and ESTAR48 will be glad to hear that you liked their work :)
We had a highter rating before, but lost 1/2 star when we got front paged xD
