Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Homeward]

This was great, but it was too short! The characters reminded me of Teri from "The Amazing World Of Gumball". She's a bear made of paper! Well, these guys had more depth. Maybe not in both senses of the word. I guess with the white color, they kind of look like polar bears!

Teri doesn't, though. I didn't expect this to be move so fast. This was a very entertaining little cartoon. I'd like to see more developments. It did indeed tell a story.

SAMI-OURS responds:

I know her too. It's made of paper, but it's a very cute character. My character Sami has a similar shape, but as you said, it has a bit of a polar bear shape. It can be seen as warm ice cream. Anyway. My skills are still lacking, so it takes quite a long time to work with a running time like this. Still, someday I will make a video series with a story. Maybe wait till then!

[Hold Up, the Bonfire in Dark Souls does WHAT?!]

How is the rating not higher? This is really funny! I admit to never having played "Dark Souls" or know that much about it. Maybe you got your facts wrong about it? The animation was very interesting. It definitely looked good, but it was weird how it moved.

Well, maybe that was part of the joke. I just love your username. I loved explaining the Darth Maul joke. I mean, everything understands "Star Wars" jokes! At least I know enough about video games to be entertained by it.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I've been kind of cursed the past... well, SEVERAL years. I rarely get good press anymore, good publicity, anything. I'm trying to return to form with my work and this one definitely has hit closest to that. Newgrounds especially just expects more anime influenced action garbage. Not enough hentai, you know? I dunno. But to be frank, the score is one of the highest ones I've had in years, so I'll take it. Everybody's a critic. I'm just glad people are responding better to this one. Thanks for watching!

[House of Cosbys Cover Collab]

I have to admit that this was pretty short for a collab, but it's still quite good. I admit it's for only one real reason. The fact that anyone would want to make a House of Cosbys now would be hilarious in itself. That would be the worst thing imaginable. Well, maybe not. A house of Jimmy Saviles would be even worse.

I remember first watching this series. I had no idea it was made by the creator of "Rick And Morty". Well, "Rick And Morty" was based on a short pornographic film. That film actually looks more similar in animation to "House Of Cosbys". I guess combining that with porn makes sense.

GreaseBrain responds:

[TNToy]

Hey, it was my brother's birthday yesterday! Anyway, this was absolutely hilarious. Welcome to becoming a cartoonist here! They're some of the most cartoonish stuff I've come across in awhile! The voices and tone just fit everything perfectly. I loved the credits where she got swept up.

Damn, I wish this was a series. I'd love to learn more about these characters and see this as a full fledged series. It certainly can become one. It's easy to tell that you're into bakertoons. It was kind of too short and one note, but still great.

PutukSpitsVenom responds:

Thanks for all the kind words!
Also Baker is a friend of mine, so you're not wrong!

[ToeJam and Earl - Third Leg]

Not one of your best, but still good. My favorite part was the animation. I mean, it was really fell set up here with good movements. I knew where that leg joke was going. I have in fact heard of ToeJam and Earl. They had platformers with everyone and everything in the 90s.

This was definitely funky. It was quite authentic to the original game. Well, from what I know of it. The animation, while fluid, did look a bit dated. I'm still happy to have seen it.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well thanks! I mostly enjoyed the script because of the censorship line, to be honest. But the flow of the whole thing was good enough that i figured it'd be fun for a quick animation. Not cream of the crop by any means, but still fun.

Also, not sure what you mean by 'dated' in regards to the animation style. I'm trying new things all the time, not sure how it can look dated. I mean, I don't do that uber anime inspired everything-has-to-be-dynamic-camera-angles-and-action-movie-visual-porn that seems to be the trend, but I see that as a good thing. That crap gets old quick. Also I'm just one animator?

[TD-Festivities For The Restivities]

My only complaint is that I wish you would have gone into more detail about love. You know, like a specific girl you were talking about. Well, this was still amazing. I've never been part of a dorm like this. I've still always tried to be social. The parties just never got wild.

I've had maybe three glasses of wine in my whole life. I've never smoked. I've never even done the grabass thing. I'd love to see more detail about this, but it was still very heartwarming. I've just never been into really loud social gatherings.

Raziberry responds:

I wasn't too much of a party guy, either. I was normally just observing conversations, or enjoying the atmosphere, wishing I knew how to be engaging. I'm still not great at it now, but I enjoying being at parties regardless.
The specific girl I was talking about was the one sitting next to me, silly! She'll be back...

[Yullis vs Pish pt.1]

It's weird because I consider 4.20 to be the score that I have to review something (it's a habit). Now, I realize that's 420! Well, I liked this but didn't think it was great. The idea could have been more original. Maybe I'm just too used to stick figures. This was still very watchable.

I wish it didn't end that abruptly! It was starting to get real gold. The artwork is mostly quite good. I even like that "Dojo" logo shown in the beginning. Everyone else just likes it more.

MayruAnimation responds:

I agree, I didnt even do anything to build up the fight... I made a lot of mistakes in planning, that's one of the reasons I cut it into 2 parts and end it so abruptly, because I wanted to have a fresh start and do a better job for the second half!

[Solace: In Mind]

I have to admit that I wasn't following the plot that well. I thought it was just random stuff going on. I'm glad I understand it better. I can now appreciate how wonderful it is. It works great with its simplicity. It reminds me of "There She Is!!".

It's just something about rabbits. You can throw in cats too. Anyone can appreciate the gorgeous animation. You show off great colors too. I guess all silent cartoons like this are music videos.

9Hammer responds:

Kinda, yeah! I was contemplating on the idea of it being under an MV for a bit. And thank you!

[Lammy and Batman discuss death place of his parents]

I feel like we might need a "Parappa The Rapper" collection eventually! Maybe a Batman collection? I loved how these characters were so authentic to the game. I just wished there was more rapping. Well, that isn't the point. The point is that it's great seeing all these characters together.

I don't recognize most of them. I guess I'm not that familiar with Parappa. I certainly don't recognize Lammy. The green guy looks like Yoshi. I just now noticed the chalk outlines.

tscoct responds:

Most of the characters belong to fellow newgrounders, all the credits are in the description of the animation! Lammy is actually from Parappa universe, she was featured in a spinoff psx title "Um Jammer Lammy" as a main character and as background character in later parappa titles

[BROS: A Day In The Sun]

Wow, this got surprisingly deep in the end. I did at least like this for the beautiful animation. I had no idea it would get like that. Pixel Day has brought us some great animations too! Damn, that's one hideous nose. It seems like a cutscene from a game submitted here.

It probably will be one day. These guys' fingers look like spider limbs. I've just always loved spider legs. Happy Pixel Day! I've never seen such high rated stuff since FNF submissions.

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

Thanks for the kind words!
