Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Looter - Episode 2: The Looter Makes An Elderly Delivery]

As an earlier episode, this isn't as good. It was still fun to see how some of the story started. I don't know where the "elderly" comes from. They were right! His head really does look like a toothpick! The designs are always funny.

I just missed the puppetry. I didn't recognize any stop motion in this. The animation has improved. It's interesting to note you escalated in running time with each submission. This was still fun.

TheFroginator responds:

yeah probably my least favorite of the bunch. I completed this one in under 2 months and it shows hahah

[El Dorado Reanimated - Scene 165]

That was quite good. I liked how you showed the original scene side by side. Wait, why would you need to show that part at the beginning? I mean, it was still interesting. It seems like you guys could just submit each part and not the whole thing. This is still nice.

I'm not a fan of this movie. I appreciate how loyal you are to the original movie. I do understand people like it. Again, I'm more into "The Emperor's New Groove". It's just funnier.

violxiv responds:

It's just a nice reference to have so people can compare the original to the reanimated. It's not in the final product.

[The Looter - Episode 1: The Looter Almost Gets Killed]

It's interesting to see how the animation has improved. I mean, it was in fact already great with the puppetry. I just wish there was more detail with the actual animation. Of course I got what I wanted! Being the first episode, I knew this would be shorter. I thought it would be more of an origin story.

I mean, Drake just came out of nowhere. I really liked the animation and puppetry interaction. This didn't have that much of a story. It still worked very well. The other installments are better.

TheFroginator responds:

Hehaha thank you for the feedback! Yeah this was actually more a of a proof of concept. Maybe try to view it more as a pilot! Perhaps one day I'll get around to animating the origin story, I can assure you there is a proper one!

[A KING NO MORE (Conceptual)]

Dang, I noticed there were 35 seconds of logos! I've never seen them go on so long! Oh no, now I'm turning into "CinemaSins"! Anyway, this was a great cartoon. It could be a full cartoon in itself. We have a lot of short ones winning Daily Feature.

I don't know what language this is. It certainly looks nice. I already feel sorry for this guy. At least he didn't die. Hey, that rhymes!

mohdfikree responds:

Thank you! Also, I apologize for the 30+ second intro—won't happen again, I promise. This is just a concept, but I'm hopeful that the full animated feature will be more captivating, especially with the lore I've crafted for it.

As for the language, it's a completely new language I've developed for this project, both for this conceptual piece and the upcoming full-length animated feature.

[Bagle]

This was pretty good. I don't recall these characters eating souls. Well, they've been in every scenario already. I appreciate this gorgeous animation of course. 5 second movies are longer than this! At least they're technically nine seconds long.

I do like bagels. What about Foamy? Well, he's just not as entertaining as these characters. I appreciate how there's still original ideas. You spelled "bagle" wrong in the tag!

GlitchArtTV responds:

Sometimes i think you don't undertand the joke.

[Dr. Good's Operating Theatre 2023]

The first sketch was easily the best. You know, the Skull Delivery. Boy, was that a tough act to follow! We still managed to get some good stuff in. The skull reminded me of Skeletor. Well, not just the skull, but the voice too!

The framing device was wonderful as well. I remember Dr. Good. I'm starting to compare every scary story on the Internet to a Creepypasta. Well, I guess it technically is. The opening was especially scary.

DannyGoodShirt responds:

Thanks for checking it out! Much appreciated!

Also, yes... Skull Delivery was really great, but all of the submissions were a fun watch, because you never know what's coming.

[POV: You're Buying Milk | TaterWorld]

Wow, that was pretty crazy. It was hard to even tell what I was watching. I guess the best part was the animation. I mean, everything looked beautiful! Well, maybe "ugly" is a better term. I mean, it had impressive animation.

They both looked scary. It didn't really have anything to do with Halloween other than the scary imagery. The details were fantastic. I wouldn't trust either of them. Weird things can happen when you're shopping, I guess.

Potatoman responds:

I Trust them

["Grapeful Balloons"]

Wow, that was rather bizarre. It started off as mundane, but ended up as anything but. Maybe the weirdest part? It was featured at the top despite not getting Daily Feature! Oh well, it was still great. It did tell you a good message about grapes.

I mean, they really are valuable crops. My only complaint was that there was a little bad shading. It was still wonderfully detailed. You made me appreciate how much work goes into cultivating crops. The title's pretty good too.

jnpmediaart responds:

I completely agree.

[Failing Upward: Sick Day]

Wow, how relatable! I believe that was a backwards message at 3:52. I'm not going to the trouble of finding out what it is. This is definitely shaping up to be a good series. I appreciate how good the animation is. I knew there was a previous installment.

How was this not featured at the top of the screen today? It has a higher rating than "Grapeful Balloons". Anyway, I wonder how she'll use the toilet by being sealed in. Seems like JC are common initials. Makes Jesus less special.

WaeBakStudios responds:

You think a bunch of adolescent boys thought this plan to not get sick through?

Also thanks!

PS: It is a backwards message!

[Jake Meets A Monkey]

I didn't quite see what this had to do with "Adventure Time!". It had even less to do with "Fionna And Cake". The monkey was like the one from "Super Monkey Ball". Well, he would have a banana. It seemed like you could have done this with any cartoon character. The animation was still good.

It just made no sense to me. The actual show is more coherent than this! This was I guess fine for something very short. At least it was interesting. I'm surprised it only got Daily 5th Place with such a high score.

wirdhere responds:

" The actual show is more coherent than this!" LMAO
