Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

Hulalaoo responds:

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.

[[RD11] ROBOT Dancin']

Lived up to its name

It's hard to judge experimental flashes, because well, they're experimental. In my eyes, they're mostly just made for the purpose of making something. That being said, I still wasn't too fond of this. It just seemed to be the same image over and over, and it wasn't a song that I am familiar with or that I find to be particularly good. It actually does look like that's a well designed robot. I am glad you submitted it on Robot Day.

It's a pity it didn't win anything with the high rating that it has now. I think its weakest point might be that the color seems off at times. Then again, I doubt it was even supposed to be that good. Dancing is fun, but when it's just that and nothing else with the robot, it's not very interesting to look at. Having plot is more desirable.

Punisher responds:

You are such a stupid faggot.
Why aren't you dead yet?

[The Great Chimp Heist]

How flashy

Wow, I was not expecting this to be another music video. I thought Weebl might be credited, but it's something you've apparently been working on by myself. I love this because of how ridiculous it is. How can you get cocaine into a gorilla's stomach without it dying or ingesting the cocaine? The answers might just confuse us more with the questions. I am glad that I have gotten to know these characters more.

It's nice how you consistently keep up this great style of animation. The scariest character is probably the transsexual or whatever that she-man is. It's great to see how everything flows so well in this. Infinite loops should be used more, it can be strenuous pressing those replay buttons over and over! This really did have a story too.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

ericho one day you will give me a 10 and the heavens will part and i will ascend.

[Sesshomaru-HappyBirthday]

Nothing too new or interesting

Well, it's kind of hard to say anything good or bad about it, because it really evens out. The good part about it is that the animation is good. I especially like Pikachu's cameo in this. What struck me as unentertaining was the fact that it was just this guy from Inuyasha dancing. I especially didn't like seeing his genitalia flopping all around. It seems like you should have put an "Adult" rating on this. I can't tell if that's his nipple or some shading spot on his body.

The music is alright. Of course, this is a spam flash, so it's not intended to be good. I guess that you really did succeed in that sense and you can proud of your success. At least it's probably better than most spam flashes. Is this really supposed to be celebrating the birthday of Sesshomaru, because I don't know what other purpose it has.

o0OInuyashaO0o responds:

I rated the animation properly. The option are..
Nudity:
None, Mild and excessive.
Since theres only 1 naked character... and he's chibi.. i would have to say mild, Newgrounds instantly puts on the rating so dont blame me~ *shrugs*
Anyways~ i appreciate the fact you understand i wasnt trying to make anything amazing, it annoys me terribly when i get serious critique on a crap i made just for the "LOL's".
As i said in the description, It was made for a friend's birthday.
