Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OBO2]

Technically not silent

For what it's worth, this really wasn't that bad. I think its strongest point is probably how it just keeps on going. I have no idea what's going to happen next, or even when it will end. I was thinking it was just going to be that one stinger with the deranged Mickey Mouse but then we got a face body named House. Hey, that rhymes! I thought at first that this was going to be a full silent picture, you don't see many of those.

It makes me wonder, has there ever been a silent film made in color? It seems like it would kind of be a contradiction, but whatever. Hats are nice. I guess it would have been better if you had decided to simply make it so that the overall quality was better. If you're looking for something really freaky, then by all means check this out.

stop reviewing my shit

[Dreams I]

You have normal dreams

Of all the crazy stuff you have, I was expecting your dreams to be ridiculous. I guess in an anti-humor sort of way, this certainly was. I don't remember my dreams that often unless they have like really weird things going on. I can't remember mine from last night. I heard that if you think about remembering your dreams before you go to bed, you'll remember them better. I actually had a dream log for college and that went pretty well.

I am glad to have this be my first review of 2012! May many more great things come for you this year. Your voice sounded kind of off in this, it seemed like you were really trying to sound normal. When speaking of dreams, once again, I wouldn't expect you to be like that. This was still great, because the artwork was as good as ever.

LazyMuffin responds:

I recorded this on my phone as I was waking up, that may explain my sleepy tone.

[Fable III Exp. Teaser]

This is great!

I think this may be my favorite in the series if only because it was the best animated. What was so cool was how you consistently kept up the great voicework and everything else. I was assuming from the word "Teaser" that it was just going to be random scenes. Well, I kind of doubt I'm going to see this exact scene in the next cartoon. I hope you had a merry Christmas and a great holiday season.

Well, as it's not New Year's Eve yet, I guess the holiday season isn't quite over. I love how these characters have so much emotion in their bodies and faces. It's stuff like that that makes me proud to be an animation fan. I'm not that familiar with the series this is based on as I bet most viewers are. It's just nice to have such a good cartoon.

WhiteLightning responds:

I'm happy to entertain! I don't actually even have the script for the next cartoon written yet, and I figured this would be more well received as its own video if it contained all original content. Plus, this joke wouldn't fit in the story I have planned, but I still had to put it somewhere :) So yeah, A Fable III Experience will be all new stuff!

[Santa Travel]

Same to you

Ah, I've been reviewing a lot of stuff, but not something Christmas related! The movie I even saw today, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" didn't even have that much to do with Christmas. You perfectly capture the holiday season with this deranged animation. It's so great to be reviewing here on Christmas. I loved this because it was macabre and deranged and everything that makes your work so good. Tis the holiday season for everybody!

I think my favorite part was when it switched to the dancing baby. It was just so random it was drop dead hilarious. I love how wonderfully the animation moves around and in such an insane way. You will never lose your touch with insanity here. I loved how nothing in this made any sense, but it was so wonderfully done it didn't matter.

Erichooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Not that kind of elf]

Nice and weird

I thought that character was supposed to be Link, but I guess it wasn't technically him. This probably could have been better if it was longer. I still enjoyed this, particularly with how good the animation was. I was seriously not expecting that ending. I kind of assumed the other elf would die, but this was too comedic to show it. Another cool thing is how you consistently keep up the fine animation. The Hyrule elf contrasts with well the Santa elf.

Congradulations on making this the preview image for the Christmas 2011 collection! May we all have a merry Christmas! The voices seemed really spot on, especially how they moved with the facial expressions. It's just nice to see people making silly stuff. I seem familiar with your art style, despite the fact that this is my first impression of it.

siskavard responds:

Thanks for the review!
The fantasy elf is less Hyrulian and more Lord of the Rings, Legolas. I used to draw caricatures of the characters from LOTR and thats usually what Legolas would end up looking like. The way he looks here is a caricature of the caricature. MIND BLOWN!

[Spirds]

You're popular!

Dude, I don't know how you did it, but this somehow got into the Top 10 highest rated of all time! It was a fairly old flash for that matter! For however you did this, I think its strongest point was probably how the animation was so good. It's great to have stuff like this that harkens back to our childhoods. I admit that I wasn't expecting that ending with all the birds. I hope you got as good a grade in art class as you did here!

I'm guessing "Spirds" was supposed to be the names of the animals that appeared in this? You might want to also have a "Replay" button. The music was pretty good and it gave off a pretty good sense of fulfillness. I can't make many suggestions, because it was just something you did for class. It could have used a better punchline.

RobThanatos responds:

Top 10? I don't understand...

[ASuperMarioBrosQuicky4]

Not the worst

I thought this entry was alright. Its main flaw was that everything just seems to be happening for no reason. Well, that's never been a problem before, but I guess it might be more that it takes awhile to understand what's going on. I don't know why Mario just punched Luigi, it wasn't that funny. I recognize the big goomba at the end from the games. You probably could have not done with the plain text being used.

I know that's hypocritical because I have no idea how to use that myself. At least you pointed out the absurdity of what was going on. The sprite work wasn't too bad in this either. It reminded me of "Super Mario Bros. Z" which I guess is always compared to stuff like this. It's too bad it got such a low rating here.

Mario8th responds:

ya, EVERYTHING'S compared to SMBZ. Kinda sucks.

[Bunnykill 5 Part 2]

Great!

It had indeed been awhile since the last entry in the series. This was great and in case anyone is wondering, the body count was 65. Then again, there were a few times where it was ambiguous whether or not someone died. I think it's safe to assume at least one person died when a car was destroyed. The coolest weapon was probably the sword laser gun. It's so great to see these characters move so smoothingly in their environments.

It was simply non stop action wherever you looked. The enemies had some different designs than usual. I especially like how you tie in a story by having the characters speak at the end. Of course, you said previously none of these cartoons were supposed to tie into each other anyway. The sound is as good as ever. It is so amazing to see how you have truly become popular in your own right.

Mottis responds:

Thank you so much.
