Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Elder-Rain Cafe // Strawberry Cake]

That was a pretty good cartoon. I didn't think it was great. Still, it was fairly cute. That's all it was really intended to be. Cake is what the Internet was made for. The colors were nice too.

The simplistic art style seemed to work. I liked how the cake looked. Maybe it could have been more detailed. It's still fine the way it was. Kind of looks like a late Valentine's Day submission.

Tyhond responds:

Thank you! ^-^ Yeah, it was my first animation so I was just touching the water. I do it under the format of Sticker Animation where it's animated Sticker and not a full keyframe animation :)

I can see that but it's just a wholesome day for some Strawberry Cake! ^-^

[Resident Evil Toot]

Wow, this was great! It looked like something made by LazyMuffin. You know, with the black bead eyes. Then again, the voices didn't match. I loved the CGI bit at the end. I wasn't expecting a big explosion.

Those work in comedies. Banana guns are hilarious too. It was just very fun and I'm glad it wasn't too short. I loved her going crazy as it went on. Toot's a funny word too.

VikingJam responds:

Thanks! o.O i dont think i've heard of them but i might have seen some of their stuff b4.
oh the bead eyes i stole from Adventure Time :3
hhehe abrupt explosion ending = genz humour.

kid screaming jill lol.

[Pokemon Colosseum: A New Adventure in the Shadows]

This was wonderful! My only complaint was that it was a little too short. Otherwise, it was amazing. It's always great to see such cute little pokemon. They still have that fighting spirit! Aww yes, back in the days when I could remember all of their names.

It gets harder all the time. It seems more like an intro than a music video. Well, music videos can be short, I guess. It's not an AMV. I guess I got those definitions mixed up.

LuckoDaStars responds:

An intro can still be an animated music video. It doesn't discriminate.

[DND Animated - The drow rogue who robbed the party blind (totally happened, guys)]

I love how silly their arms look. I mean, this guy looks like he only has bones and no actual limbs. I know about the gameplay of "Dungeons And Dragons" pretty well. I've just seen so many parodies of it! The animation made it so funny. It just came off as so personal.

I'm glad to have come by this. I noticed it's always DND, not DAD. I guess "Dungeons 'N Dragons" is just a cooler name. It's nice you put all that text up. Still can't beat "8 Bit D&D".

ZedrinBot responds:

For me it's also cause typing an ampersand takes 5% more brain processing power and gives me a head hurty
i gotta look down and remember "wait it's shift + what number?"

[the Perfect Gift - TFPS]

It's nice to see where this series started. I can tell that Ed is based on a Dalek. Well, he's very similar to one. I can now see that this takes place on another planet. I somehow missed this after all these years. It's great to see this animation.

I still find Kyra as a more interesting character. Well, this does technically focus on her. I like the colors a lot too. I see more potential for this series. I'm glad to know the episodes aren't the same.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

So glad you liked it : D

There were a lot of challenges with that first episode, like working around the fact Kyra did not have a voice casted yet.

[Cafe Rush - TFPS]

This was a very nice little cartoon. It was relatively mundane. Well, as mundane as a cartoon about talking animals can be. I appreciate the beautiful animation. This is something I bet most people in the cafe industry can associate with. I do work in food service.

I don't actually serve or prepare the food. I just wash dishes. I loved that hypnotizing guy. These characters had such cool designs. Oh, they're aliens!

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Glad you enjoyed it~

This episode pretty much was an excuse for me to have some fun and cut loose on alien designs, so had a lot of fun there x3

[Mean Girls Reanimated Collab - My Scene]

Wow, "Mean Girls" is getting a collab now? I loved the animation in this. It's been a long time since I saw that movie. I did see it, right? It was great to see so much movement everywhere. The colors were nice and bright too.

That white joke was great. I don't know if this is the exact audio used. It sounds too cartoonish. Again, it has been awhile since I saw that movie. There was just so much going on.

HisCoconutGun responds:

The audio is all original, it was not that aggressive X3

[SPEEDMAN]

Those were some weird looking platypuses. I mean, they looked just like people with duck bills! They didn't even have beaver tails! Why was he called Speedman? He should have been called SpeedPlatypus! Why was he killing the scientists at the end himself?

I guess I'm trying to be like "Honest Trailers" but I end up looking more like "Cinema Sins". This was seriously gorgeously animated. It's the perfect set up for a sequel! Speedman's dead and they have the scientist! Umm, is there some way for me to put a spoiler tag on that?

Bowz responds:

You're not wrong! I know it's weird to call them platypus, they are more humanoid beaked aliens... Platypoids? Speedpuss? The Octos only have 4 tentacles... quados?

Thanks for the comment. This is intended to be a series. But I need to rethink the pipeline so it doesn't take 6 years per episode.

["BOOZOO THE STUPENDOUS" CARTOON PILOT (The Walten Files)]

This was a pretty awesome cartoon. I had no clue what was even going on. I mean, there was this random segment with the deer. It doesn't matter because it was awesome. The rabbits reminded me of "Five Nights At Freddy's". Oh wait, that's a tag.

I knew it would get disturbing. Well, no more than most parodies like this. This VHS style is getting old. Huh, how ironic. This could become its own series.

GaveenoBBK responds:

thank you so much for the nice words! this is actually a parody based on one of those VHS-style horrors you speak of, definitely check out “The Walten Files” if you ever get the chance :^]

[red bullet]

Happy Pixel Day indeed! I was impressed by how unique this was. I mean, we've seen everything with Madness. I've never seen it as an RPG before. I recognize that "Heavy Machine Gun" audio clip. I believe that was from "Metal Slug".

I just always think of "Final Fantasy" with RPGs. I'm glad one bite didn't zombify him. This did play out a lot like a Madness cartoon. I guess you don't need to make such a great Madness cartoon for only Madness Day! The sprite work was great too.

MP32 responds:

omg thx dude
i wanted to make the sound design realy crispy and mixed, overcensorial if you want

and the rpg thing was mainly inspired by mario rpg, that tbh, its kinda of a parody to most jrpg's
