Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Miku Finds A Snail]

Short, but kinda cute. Maybe the shortest to ever win Daily Feature. This is pretty good for what it is. I don't know what Miku has to do with snails, but whatever.

KOLANI responds:

Yeah I'm ngl I'm also surprised it won a daily, especially since I released it right on Pixel Day. I'm glad it got in tho!!

[Virtua Fighter 2: Punching Technique]

This was great as a quick joke, as always. The scores for these just keep getting higher! I guess he had met his match. This seems to make sense to me. The animation was pretty good. I couldn't tell if this was a sequel or a reference to the first game.

I'm going to say the latter. It does make you think about blocking. I mean, you can still get a hit in if you punch someone like that. It's still aiming. I rarely use that in fighting games.

SuperJeffoMan responds:

Spam that punch homie! VF has got those ring outs; nudge those blockers out. Lol nah this strategy wouldn't work a lot of the time, but it's funny when it did work.

Yeah you got it right, it's referencing the second game (background and music), but the joke could be interchangeable with the first. Anyways, thanks for the review :)

[Zenibeasts: Kaiju Cutie]

Aww, what an adorable cartoon! Who knew giant monsters could be so cute? It was a tad weird at times. It's like when he punched her and she had a black eye but it still made a squeaky sound. This was just very cute. You gave these two a lot of personality.

You usually expect kaiju to be more violent. Their designs were awesome. I love how Mashibuni had two faces. Well, more like two sets of eyes. If it's a pilot, it would be great to see more episodes.

MollyHC responds:

I'm so happy you enjoyed my cartoon, thank you so much for leaving a such kind comment. 😊

[SAILOR MOON in low-poly!]

I'm not really a "Sailor Moon" fan. I saw it once and thought it was good. This was a perfectly serviceable cartoon. I just don't think it's great. There's still good effort put into it. We're all familiar with the transformation.

It's good for pixel art. Maybe it would have been better for the art portal. I probably say that too much too. It's gotten to the point where I'm starting to say THAT too much too. This is good for what it is.

violxiv responds:

I was just gonna make a gif out of it; but thought it would be cool to go the extra mile and animate the scene, otherwise I'd just upload it as art ig

[Eddsworld Xmas Day Reanimated Collab]

Aww, too late for Christmas. I'm more used to the "Zanta Claws" series. I loved how there were so many authors in such a short time! They did a great job with everything in rhyme. It's weird to have a collab of something that's already here. It seems like more you'd do a re-animated collab of like "The Ultimate Showdown" or "Metal Gear Awesome".

Whatever, this is still great. I felt sorry for these guys. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Dang, it's been over ten years since Edd died?! Talk about keeping the memory of a legend alive! You guys are awesome for this!

guythathasnewgrounds responds:

This was meant to be uploaded on Christmas Eve, but well, you can't rush art.
Glad this was released on the last day of Christmastide, so hopefully its not that late lol.

This was started since 2021, I reiterate, but was in a hiatus (during the hiatus, an animator solely reanimated the whole video on late 2022, which was a cool take), but last year I decided to revive it to finish a project (of many I have mind) and of course, to honor the late Edd.
Overall, thanks for the words! Really appreciate them.
