Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Silver Ears ShortFilm]

With the title "short film" I knew it would be something good! That's pretty much a given. I admit the CGI can be kind of goofy looking. It's a little too bulgy. It's still definitely a good cartoon. It kind of looks like Miku Hatsune.

It also reminds me of Mewtwo. Seems like white than silver. I like how we have no idea what's going on. That's usually interesting. While not great, certainly good.

Anton51 responds:

Thank you for this review! I can see why it may seem bulgy since the anatomy of the characters are a stylesd alien species. The Miku reference feels a bit of stretch. Tbf I wish I could've given more context as to who the agents are and who the long eared character is. Just that I was more focused on the mechanics rather the story, which I will look in to. It's my first time working on an animation like this, and I am learning on how to make it better.

[X-RL7 - Apotheosis Man (Lyric Video)]

I certainly enjoyed this. I will admit the lyrics could have been better. They're not that good. It still has great sprite work. I can always appreciate that. Nice to know some styles will never die out.

I know "apotheosis" as being from the title of a Madness cartoon. I believe it means the making of something holy. I don't think this was that holy. The individual designs were fairly unique. Glad it wasn't too long.

X-RL7 responds:

Thanks for watching, the first full episode is available our channel

[The Witcher 2077]

Wow, this was really impressive! I don't think I've seen any of your submissions before. A pity, as they look great! I will admit that I don't know why this a comedy-parody. I mean, it looks like everything is played straight. Well, I don't think it matters. This is a great little short.

I am not that familiar with The Witcher. I've heard of it, though. It's a beloved game, which I all I should know. Everything is just so beautiful looking. Hope it gets recognized!

Zagradak responds:

Wow thank you so much, this whole post brightened my day!

[Belief]

This was much better than I thought. I will admit that it had one major flaw. It wasn't animated well. Still, it's a good cartoon. I love getting into these philosophical ideas. We all know what this is like.

Everyone has their own beliefs. Maybe you could have mentioned opinions? Of course, that's just my opinion. That is also my belief...I suppose. This was interesting.

Rokazulu responds:

You are most correct, opinion and belief are simply different ways of saying the same thing.

[TD-Lucky Dog]

How is the rating only 3.25? I loved this cartoon! True, it's not as elaborate as some of your other cartoons, but still great. I never had a dog. I have had some cats. In fact, my own cat is close to dying as well.

There was so much emotion put into this. We need more heartwarming stories like this. I could probably never witness a pet dying. This seemed like one of your most personal cartoons. Well, most relatable.

Raziberry responds:

This one has been in the back of my mind since the series started. Feels good to get it out. The low rating is just cause people hate being sad I guess haha!

[Cat]

Wow, you usually make such good cartoons. This was just way too short. It showed a cat being killed or at least horribly injured! Don't hurt cats. Well, it is just a warm up. I just expect more from one of my favorite cartoonists.

It was at least interesting, I suppose? It needed sound. You really shouldn't make a whole submission for this. That's more for like a demo reel. We need to see more of those.

marciano responds:

Thanks for commenting
A lot of people didn’t like the violence I didn’t mean anything by it
I love animals dogs and birds are my thing
This was just a practice run , getting familiar with the App
Once I had the cat meowing I didn’t know how to end it fast
The shoe came to mind and out the window it went
I’m working on something a bit longer and Unfortunately with a little violence towards birds
But in Gotham city you can’t avoid A little violence

[The Best PS5 Game]

I thought this was quite funny. It was actually weird seeing that little 7. I thought it was like a top 10 list! Or I guess, a Top 7 list. The animation probably could have been better. It was at least good for what it was.

The cat joke was great. There must be a game where you can play as a cat. I don't even need to look that up. The setup was pretty good. It's basic, but it's still fairly unique for a cartoon here.

Axelstation responds:

This was a small idea I wanted to keep on the simpler side for time sake. I appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Motorcat]

That was awesome! Anything with a title like Motorcat is going to be good. I love the animation. It really is built up well. I guess I was hoping for a bit more action. It's still great. I especially love the punchline.

Cats are just so awesome. I miss my cat. He's very old. I like how even your avatar shows Motorcat! A cat Transformer!

coltenseamans responds:

Agreed, cats are great, and our cat Babs was the inspiration for this because she always purrs while zooming around.

[ANAKIN Chp 3: Your Princess Is in Another Castle]

Hmm, this got better as it went on. I will admit it was weird with the title. Shouldn't Chapter 3 be about Episode III? Anyway, it's a very funny cartoon. I especially loved the jokes with R2D2. The tape bit was the best.

At least it got front page. Hey, Jar-Jar had little of a role! Just like all the other movies! The voices were quite good. It follows the movie faithfully, even if many people don't like that.

squeakytoad responds:

Thanks for watching. This parody series plays out like a Disney origin story for Anakin - episode numbers don't match up to the Star Wars movies. Thought about dropping the numbers but figure it helps folks watch them in order.

[Dexter Manning - Waiting at the airport]

You look like the guy from Smosh! This was quite unexpected. It truly was a unique design for these cartoons. I'm so glad to have come by it. Even if it doesn't get well know, it's a good cartoon. I know how hard it can be with a plane.

It's nice how you deal with more mundane problems. Pico had a nice cameo. A pity I'm not more familiar with your work. At least you got some trophies. It's just a very slick cartoon.

RareKirby responds:
