Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vinnie The Chik Costello]

Recommendable

It has been the longest time since I watched something submitted by flashcartoons.org. Anyway, I thought the best point of this was the voice work. I sincerely thought that you were just using stock sounds from some old cartoon in the beginning! It reminded me a lot of "Looney Tunes" and classic stuff like that. I was kind of disappointed that there was not a lot of real slapstick involved. I still enjoyed this because Vinnie is such a great character as he sets his personality so clearly.

I was hesitant to upload this to NG, most of the users here like perverted stuff which I stopped making. I try to animate for family audiences with clean humor. A good example is the past few winners, cock jokes, boobs, overall rude humor which is made for preteens who laugh at it. I wont go back to that, I've grown up. My overall goal is to animate like they did in the past, all traditional, that is my dream. Thanks for the comment.

It's great to be back!

While I have not heard of you before, at least it is nice to hear Gagsy in this. I love this because it is so awesome in its surrealness and it relishes in its surrealness. The only way I could tell a person was a woman was because of the breasts. It was weird how everything in the cartoon just seem to bounce everywhere, including the breasts. The animation is gorgeous and I love the overall dark theme. It is a perfect way to understand the morbidness of the world and the human mind.

well i'm glad you enjoyed it. thanks for the review :]

[HALOMEN2]

A great combo

It is hard to combine "Half-Life", "Halo", "Portal", and "TANKMEN" all in one cartoon and it was not even a collab! I love how just each of these guys has their own distinct personality. You have really managed to put a story together that has a lot of laughs and great animation in only two entries. I love how every monster species has such unique designs. Every second of this, there is something going on whether it is a joke or a great action scene. I love the music that you used at the end as it is truly epic music.

thanks man!

[Vinegar Tea Party]

Worth it at the end

I admit that I was not that interested in this cartoon at first, but it helps that you had such an awesome punchline. Things like that work really well only if you set it up a lot. Anyway, the animation was as good as always and that is some great program you used. Too bad you were not able to make it on the Fourth of July, but better late than never, I guess. I like it how they are just so many firings going on in the background but the troops just do little at all. I was thinking Hitchens was the only sane guy there, but it turns out he wasn't, as they were all pretty insane.

DestructoBox responds:

Agreed, starts off a bit slow, but how can you not love a violent tea bag?

[Climb the ladder...]

Quite funny

Even if a cartoon has only one punchline, it really helps that the punchline is just so funny. It is also completely original, as I have never heard that one before. The biggest weakness about this was that the animation was just very cheesy. I do not know what kind of Flash program you were using, but I suggest you go with an updated one. At least the colors and everything synced up pretty well. With the word "suck" there are simply so many different ways you can interpret that to mean something sexual.

Well, if it isn't Ericho. My flash programs fine, I just made a shit load of rookie mistakes while animating the damn thing (frame rate and what not). Again, early work, so I don't really care enough to fix it. Thanks for the 8 anyway- a pleasant surprise none the less.

[Enjoy Your Heaven]

Great as expected

I thought it was strange the guys had halos in the beginning and then of course I remembered the title. This is so good I was kind of hoping it would turn into a full series. I love the animation in this and some of it reminds me of Jhonen Vasquez. I like how it kept flashing back to things "2 X" before. I was almost waiting for it to say "2 Minutes Earlier" and then the cartoon could simply start all over. You do not have to be ashamed by the quality or file size as it is too good of a cartoon to really care about these things.

curtiSmith responds:

Actually I had originally wanted this to be a series, maybe I'll return to it in the future in more detail. Thanks for your vote :D

[Mr Pickles &the Bum Kitty]

Beautiful

It helps that I love cats and I of course love you and all that you have submitted to this website. It was weird how the cat was green and started out as a fart (?). It also seemed to be more like a bear than a cat when it became a giant. I see that you were experimenting with something new, with the obvious sketchy background (well, I think it is the worst time you tried it). I guess it might have some deeper meaning, but I can just appreciate it for beign wonderful. It even seems like a more mature thing than your actual stuff.

TheBoogley responds:

deeper meaning? more mature? ha! XD
I love you Ericho! :D

[Hanks 4rth of July card!!]

It is flashy

I was interested in finding out about a 4th of July flash being submitted today. It seems like, above all the other holidies, the 4th of July has the least number of movies/stuff about it. I have to give you credit on creating a very authentic looking Hank. A firecracker is one of the few weapons that the series has never used. I think what really brings this down is that you mention you were too lazy to do an animation. You should be glad that you are at least celebrating the fourth of July here.

dragonslya responds:

huh... thanks for the tips and compliments
