Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tankmen Unloaded]

I loved this so much. I think it might be because I thought it was going to be just an intro at first. Instead, it showed something like a cartoon! Well, still short but wonderful. Saturday morning cartoons didn't say "bitch" so that actually makes sense! Well, they did do show cartoons on Comedy Central on Saturday morning.

I love the animation of course. The tankmen deserve to be in something this funny. It gets great jokes and even action for something short. Well, all of these are short. This might be my new favorite cartoon in this whole series. I'm glad it won an award.

kcj567 responds:

So glad you like it!! Really appreciate your kind words, hopefully you will enjoy part 2 as much as part one :D

[Resident Benviento]

Wow, you already made your second cartoon! Well, at least your second submission here. The animation was amazing! It looks like a picked a good guy to subscribe to! No medal?! Well, we're rating everything high nowadays.

I did like the ending. That's what he gets for abandoning them! Of course, I'd do the same thing with a wife like that. I'm not that into "Resident Evil". Anyone can still enjoy this.

Alakamame responds:

thank you! thats actually a little detail i try to do in my shorts, its either you have played the game or not, you can still enjoy the short

[Yestercade [NewgroundsTV Bumper]]

Wow, that was beautifully animated! Sure, it was short, but it was by no means spam. I even liked the title. It was kind of a weird choice for games. Most of them aren't that popular! It's not that old to be nostalgic.

It's a very sweet little cartoon. I don't recognize that little green guy. I don't see little green men much anymore. Wow, I keep seeing that Fancy Pants guy today. I do love his games.

BrandyBuizel responds:

Arcades got variety, some of my personal favorites I only discovered by visiting the arcades, it's not all Burger Time and Donkey Kong!

[Breakfast [Newgrounds TV Bumper]]

I don't see how this was experimental. It was nice to see the Fancy Guy. I just liked seeing all those characters together. Seems like no one likes Germaine and Foamy anymore anyway. It wasn't too short. A lot of bumpers are like that.

This seemed more like a commercial. The animation was quite stylistic for these characters. I knew there'd be a lot of them. It didn't really have breakfast. I wanted to see more cereal!

JuanHelsing responds:

It was kind of experimental for me, but maybe I should have changed it for other.

I also wanted to add some characters I really like or that I saw and didn't know were from NG (Germaine and Foamy to be exact).

And about the title, it was a reference to the song, and I didn’t like the others I had in mind. Maybe more cereals would have helped to get frontpaged!

[Friday Night Hunkin': Tankmen]

"Holy cow, daily 2nd place?!". A 4.24 isn't that unimpressive either! This was uh, rather weird. I mean, it was still funny. It was a great tribute to Doobus-Goobus. Wait, that was already a tribute to FNF!

Now we're doing tributes within tributes? Well, stuff like Pico have those already. I misread "steve" as "slave" in the tag. The tankmen's designs were the most unique thing. I say "unique" too much.

Stanpai responds:

Tribute is not the exact word so much as parody. But it seems I parodied it a bit too well! Thank you for your kind words!

[Channel Surfing (NewgroundsTV Bumper)]

That was nice for a little cartoon. I don't know if I've seen just two Newgrounds characters together. I mean, usually it's a bunch of them. Well, it's short anyway. Nowadays, we just watch stuff on the Internet. You know, like I'm doing right now!

I never did much channel surfing. I mean, you know what channel has your favorite shows, right? It's older. Well, we do have the VHS option filter now. This was fine.

pepperly responds:

Back in my day, video game consoles only worked on channel three.

[Boss [NewgroundsTV Bumper]]

Hey, this deserves its high score! It's probably my favorite of these bumps. It reminds me of the Adult Swim ones. The animation was great! I'd love to see longer stuff from you. This was just a good little cartoon.

Three contributors for something so short? That's pretty rad. Oh, I just realized you mentioned a ten minute movie. See, there IS longer stuff from you! I like this CGI puppet thing.

BrandyBuizel responds:

Lucky for you that 10 minute film just dropped today!

[Going Back to Cali [Newgrounds TV Bumper]]

Aww, I thought this was going to be a video based on "Headin' On Down To Newgrounds". The title just made me think that. It's still pretty nice. Hard to think of a jam for something so short. I like how you showed the little animation. It reminds me of "Dick Figures".

This is great artwork. Wow, a game and movie submitted on the same day? You're awesome! You've probably consistently made stuff here more so than any other contributor. Nice to see something peaceful with Darnell.

Luis responds:

oh this isnt for the animation jam itself, its just a plug for it!

[Pico & The Masters of Newgrounds]

Very funny! I'm glad to see this new jam. I'm reminded of other submissions that have a VHS-like quality. I especially loved seeing the roles being filled up well. Oh, I get the Burnt Face Man joke. He's called gay in his own cartoons.

That joke seemed to be more for Pico as He-Man. I personally am annoyed by constant jokes about characters being gay. Maybe it would have been nice to see the fight. It still delivers its jokes personally. I never cared about He-Man but acknowledge that it's fairly popular.

JCaluger responds:

Thank you. I really appreciate this critique.

[Transforming Tank]

What is it with everything being short on this website nowadays? Still, this was one of the better of them. It's mostly because you create a great setup. That transforming tank is awesome! I just wish there was more of it. This website's getting higher rated cartoons than ever!

Tankmen can be celebrated at any time. Well, really anything can be celebrated here any time. Except you know, actual holidays. It seems like it's been awhile since I've seen a cartoon from you, MindChamber. You've been here a very long time.

MindChamber responds:

there's a lot of bumpers being uploaded for the collab, but I promise once I get my life in order more lengthy cartoons will be worked on
