Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NWAR: Split Decision]

Wow, it's been too long since I've seen one of these. I thought this series was over. You can never tell nowadays. It was just great hearing these puns over and over. That's the best part about these cartoons. I appreciate the animation too.

The black and white works so well. One of my favorites was the unboxing ring. That was a great ending. Here I thought it would end climatically. This is pun humor done right.

danmarkowitz responds:

Thank you for sticking with the series for so long!

[Sketch Collab Shitpost 2024]

Wow, what was this? It truly was bizarre. These are what I call sketches. Everything looked only partially done. I'm glad it wasn't too long. I could still tell a lot of work went into it.

Well, I guess technically not. I appreciate putting shitposts together. It truly lives up to its name. It's hard to tell what part was the best, as they're pretty equal in quality. Not the best, but that's what shitposts are.

midgetsausage responds:

we received a similar review for this year's ACTUAL sketch collab from some dipshit where he was also bizarre-d out-y from the "sketches" that showed up in it, but then he went into some pretentious brigade about how truly un-sketch-like the collab was and how unprofessional everything supposedly looked.

idk i saw the first two sentences and thought this collab was getting a similar comment but then the third sentence showed great appreciation for it and now i'm both glad u enjoyed this thing but also somewhat dumbfounded lawl

[FulpWare Gold]

Dude, this was freaking perfect! How could I ask for a better cartoon?! I mean, it was like that one cartoon where he said, "Lucky there's a slender!". I wish that one was still around. I had so much fun watching all these classic characters. My favorite might have been "The Ultimate Showdown" one.

Those aren't even NG characters! It was so cool to see the skullkid again! I mean, that cartoon does have millions of views after all! Of course we'd throw in some porn-related characters. Just, you know, nothing explicit. What a wonderful way to start the New Year!

kaiakairos responds:

we won

[Tim's Toys]

Aww, this was quite fun. The best part was how mad he was at the narrator. It didn't take long for him to get into rhyming. My favorite part was when he said, "Oh, so I'm the one breaking the fourth wall?". The animation was really funny. I love how his hair keeps moving.

I've never seen Pico with a beard. I appreciate the different kinds of animation used. The characters have quite unique designs. I love how angry Tim is. Hey, I'm sure there's some people who celebrate Christmas on the 22nd! It was one of the best parts, because of the animation and rhyming.

TimLand responds:

I appreciate that, funny thing is i only gave him the beard at first to make him easy to talk, but it's grown on me to where i enjoy having him bearded for my version of him.

[NGTV Christmas Marathon]

This should've been titled "The Longest Flash Cartoon On Newgrounds". That's what it is! I hadn't seen any of these Christmas flashes before except "Santa Clogs". I thought it would feature some really old cartoons. Nope, it was almost entirely stuff that was made this year. My favorite was of course the Charlie Brown one.

See my review of that to see my thoughts on it. I also love that opening sequence. I thought the credits would be really long. Instead, it basically showed two more cartoons before ANOTHER credits sequence and one more brief segment of course. I've seen that National Lampoon poster. It looks like Snoopy!

Don't worry, I watched it so he won't die. Some of the segments were a little weak. I didn't care for "Billy And Willy". You should have advertised this as a feature length movie! Given some re-animated collabs, we easily have several feature length movies here! Merry Christmas now and for infinity!

Kolumbo responds:

I can't believe we made a movie that was crazy

[A Charlie Brown Christmas Reanimated]

Damn, I had no idea this would be fully reanimated. Why wasn't it advertised like the "Road To El Dorado" collab? My favorite part might have been the "South Park" bit. Then again, anything with Lucy was awesome. I watch this every Christmas and this year was no different. Maybe you couldn't have crucified Snoopy.

This still got the message of the special down perfectly. It was just wonderful. This was a collab within the NGTV Christmas collab. A collab within a collab?! Anyway, I loved their faces at 1:54. I thought Snoopy looked like Mickey Mouse before that. This is my favorite Christmas related media of all time and you guys did it perfect service!

Kolumbo responds:

The reason for no advertising is that it was made to be a secret surprise inside NGTV

[A Yume Nikki Christmas]

Yeah, I guess it was kind of rushed. I was a bit disappointed by the ending. It was just her awakening from a dream. Still, it was a Christmas cartoon. I appreciate the animation. That was the part that wasn't rushed!

The story just wasn't the best. I do like her throwing the message in a bottle out the window like that. I'm glad to see these high rated cartoons on Christmas! They're just not my favorites this year. It's still the thought that counts.

Pogney responds:

Thanks for the review! Yume Nikki itself is a game with a very vague story and almost no plot. The last video I made for it was more coherent, but for this one I kind of just shoehorned in references. I think this was a hard lesson to myself about starting animations that need to be posted before a certain date. I will live and learn!

[Power Star Reimagined: Pathway Into Darkness]

Why isn't the score higher?! Is it because it's a sprite movie? You rarely do see those things here anymore. I love the "Power Star" series. It was especially nice to hear voices in this. Those are pretty rare in sprite flashes.

The best parts are easily when Mario has a sword. That's something he should do in the games. I had no idea this would be so long. When it said the animator's name, I thought it was part of a collab. I can see inspiration from Krinkels too.

Fyar responds:

Search up "Power Star Unleashed" made by the us too. Unfortunately, if this project is to continue, we need to hire another animator.

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Shopping]

I thought this was very sweet! It was great to see them talk about going out of their costumes. They never take them off. I thought it was heartwarming how they got gifts for each other. It was nice to have Katy there too. I was amazed at the backgrounds.

At first, I thought it was like live-action photographs. It really looks very convincing. I love how stylistic a mundane setting can look. It wasn't too long or short. It's just a nice little Christmas gift!

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks, I was worried it would be too short haha. and glad you liked the BGs, they're photographs I painted over. That felt like a naughty cheat but it was necessary to get the cartoon done before Christmas and I think they turned out ok-ish.

[Tyhond // Decorate]

The Most Prolific Reviewer? I'm the most prolific reviewer! Well, I'm still behind XwaynecoltX. Anyway, this was pretty good. I thought the background was just fine. It was like a checkerboard.

The pink is brighter, but not as good. It still ended up being a good cartoon. The short length was what it was supposed to be. It's just not a great cartoon for me. I like how this character is green.

Tyhond responds:

Oh thanks :> Well it seemed like I've improved according to you so that's a win!
