Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Cold Christmas]

Underrated!

I am glad I was able to catch sight of this, despite the low rating. This managed to be something really neat because it did not aim to be particularly silly, but just something entertaining. I really liked the animation in this one, reminded me of like "Ren And Stimpy" or something. I also liked how the voices sounded. The funniest part was probably when Santa beat the guy up even though I couldn't even see his fists touching him. Showing Santa's buttcheeks was pretty unpleasant, but funny.

MrAbnormal responds:

thanks i appreciate it

[Free Falling Whale]

Collab?

Gee, it's so hard for me to rank this low, as it was intended to be for a collab. I mean, it jut doesn't seem like much, with the simple animation of the whale falling. I think the song is pretty good, but it can get annoying after awhile with just the same song. It's too bad this didn't go in that collab as I'm sure it would too much better accomodated by other things. Still, you at least tried to make this good for something even if it did not succeed. I hope you are able to get into collabs where this can be appreciated much more.

[pokerap masturbation]

AWesome!!

I decided to make that "AWesome!!" error part of the actual title, and I can say that I loved this! All of the animations were done wonderfully and the still pictures were practically flawless. I especially loved the way Pikachu became a rapper (dressed up) and how you make an adult joke about Team Rocket that wasn't about James being gay. Honestly, you're awesome for this! I congradulate and compliment all of the people who worked on this and what it became. I am simply perplexed at how this did not win a single award.

thanks man

I do not think I'm lucky

[B In Egyptian [CD 08]]

Happy Clock Day, I guess

I enjoy the Clock Crew as much as the next guy, but I'm really not impressed by animations that are just one frame. I mean, I have the Clock Crew to thank for having the one day I could submit my crappy stuff to this website. I will say that while I'm no Egyptian scholar, it was nice of you to do your research. I'm going to assume that is the Egyptian letter for "B" and it is different than the standard "B". What doesn't work is that this doesn't have much significane. Now if you tried putting in two letter in Egyptian, that'd be nicer.

ChandlerThompson responds:

Thanks for the review.

[Charcoalmation]

Dumb?

I don't know why you would think this was dumb, as it was done really well! While it may not have had much of a story, the artwork was some of the best of that type I'd seen! I guess I was looking for something a bit more complicated with more guys around, you know? It may in fact be the first stop-motion animation I've seen that used charcoal before. The music was very nice and fitting as well. It was really cool to see everything flow together especially when it is presented on old contruction paper.

Captain responds:

Yeah the art was very simple and not really challenging, but that was the reason why i stuck to basically stick figures and squiggles. This was the first big animation project that I decided to tackle so I kept it easy to draw so I can really get a feel for it.

[problem to society]

Not terrible

Well, the animation wasn't anything particularly good or bad. I really couldn't understand the words at all and you really should find a way to reduce static. I'm guilty of this myself in my own YouTube videos, and I don't know how to reduce it anyway. I think that it really went on too long and I couldn't understand the plot anyway. Still, I guess you did put in a lot of effort into this. Next time, you should really put in more action and not just talk over and over.

JohnnySkul responds:

Yea, i found a way to make the qudio better but the thing was for ever 10 seconds for the audio was about 2 mega bites so i gotta find a way to do this. It really sucks bro.

[Eddsworld Vs Cahj]

Great stuff!

4:26? I felt as though it was on a lot longer than that. Anyway, I was very impressed by this and while I have no idea who Cahj is (I assume they're another group of cartoonists like eddworld) this was awesome! It helped that you used the theme song from "Naruto", which is some truly awesome music. I was also impressed by the animation, especially with the characters fighting. I'm a big fan of eddsworld and although I can't remember the character's names, it was great to see them all. The toaster turning into a robot was cool too.

Lazyfeet responds:

Yeah, it's only the second episode of CAHJ so hopefully we'll become better known. I was inspired by the Naruto intro. It was absolutely badass.

Hehe. I want a transformer toaster. It's not fair!

[Karl!!]

Drinking?

I know that being a big fan of the forums I'm used to learning about someone's birthday. It's interesting to find out that this is the date of Mr. Hippo or Blue Hippo or whatever his name is' birthday! While there wasn't much interaction, the drawn figures were nice. I recognized Luis and ZekeySpaceLizard and know they're supporters of the hippo guy. The music was pretty cheerful and fit the mood well. Next time, you should try having more action and some dialogue for that matter.

Rooster responds:

I thought I had more time to finish then I did, I had planned more than what is there. Hopefully next year i'll do what I wanted to this year.

[The Pretenders]

20 MB?!

Dude, I have to give you a 9 for if nothing else than informing me that Tom Fulp raised the bar to 20 MB! It's not often I see live-action stuff here (that's more suited for YouTube) but I'm glad it's here! The atmosphere (with all the dark stuff around) is simply wonderful. I was a bit skeptical of this seriousness when they didn't have actual guns. You threw in a great twist by revealing it was in fact, pretend. Dang, I really should've figured that out sooning just by looking at the title!

Fro responds:

thanks
