Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Burrito & Son Ender(?)]

That was really funny! I was afraid it was going to be too short. I mean, you could have had even more jokes. Then again, you did say it took long to animate. I have to appreciate you for putting so much effort into it. The best joke was easily the last one.

I'm not that familiar with these characters. You have already won tons of awards. It's great fun seeing the action too. It just moves so fast it's hard to keep up with. Not much to do with burritos. The colors are gorgeous too.

mattyburrito responds:

thank you so much! I definitely need to improve on pacing, timing sequences like that. Will keep working to get better and make the actions clearer. As well as the burritos.

[sum twinkle stars]

Wow, I was really wondering what was going on here. I mean, I couldn't tell if this used original characters or not. Whatever it was, it was definitely amazing. I'm glad the credits revealed it was from a game. Maybe it was a game you made? No, I just read the author comments.

I always have loved games like that. Never seen a full blown cartoon about it. The animation was gorgeous. These were some really weird characters. That made it all the more interesting. So glad you made a tribute to such a great looking lesser known game.

ChipsGoWOAH responds:

omg yeah, im glad you liked it, yeah making the original designer happy made me really happy, i also love the characters from the game cause its all very light hearted, the world might be covered by darkness but they still take their time to play on the beach, and kims sole mission to get girls was funny to me, i really like these characters and im glad i could portray them in a way that others would like them as well

[Superficial Xerox NEO-GEO]

This was a great cartoon. I just didn't think it was the "greatest" cartoon. I kind of expected more action. It's still amazing. The sprite work was gorgeous. It seemed like all or mostly original characters.

You have to appreciate originality. It has a nice heartwarming feel to it. Don't worry, arcades are still around. Thanks for paying tribute to this great website. It's certainly been a huge part of my life.

stevenm1988 responds:

It does have a weird balance to it structurally, doesn't it? The plan was to create the beginning and end of the films first, get them out of the way and allow more time to work on the big montage of heroes. Unfortunately there were 20 seconds I didn't manage to get everything done for, so they had to be cut out. I'm working on sticking them back in since we're over the deadline now, and it won't count towards the contest judgement (only the original upload qualifies). I don't think the addition will greatly help the overall balance, but it'll be nice to say "this is how I intended it to be".

[Helltaker Animation Test]

Wow, a Daily Feature only 17 seconds long?! It was still worth it. This was an amazing cartoon. Everything has boobs in it nowadays. At least it wasn't adult. The machine's design is fantastic.

Hard to say that much about something so great and short. The voice is good too. Imagine a whole cartoon like this! Well, one more than a minute long. That's a whole cartoon here, right?

moikaloop responds:

I am shocked that this got a daily feature haha

[Micwizard 2 (Doors 5 part)]

Wow, that was quite impressive! I really had no idea it would be that good. Well, I know you're a very talented artist. There's just so much that happens in less than a minute! The best part is probably the animation. Well, there's no dialogue.

It would be that by default. This was part of a collab?! It really is impressive on its own. You live up to your name. Nice cat.

Miccool responds:

Wow, you're still here? I remember you reviewing my old stuff like a decade ago haha.

I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate the kind words. Hope you're doing well and yes, it's a nice cat.

[DOPAMINE]

That was a good cartoon, but not one of my favorites here. I just think it could have been longer. Was she in love with herself? Well, obviously dopamine according to the title. When she crashed at the end, I was afraid it would get a lot darker. I'm glad it didn't.

This was definitely creative. I liked the colors. They did seem kind of off sometimes. Still worth looking at. I know what it's like to lack dopamine.

MarcoCardenas responds:

Thanks for the feedback buddy, I'll keep those thoughts for future projects!

[A (Clock day 2020)]

I saw this on the portal when it was first submitted! Happy Clock Day!

AKA-38CAUTION responds:

Thanks mate!

[Pass The Spam Drei]

I was quite impressed by this movie! I knew it couldn't top the ThorClock submission. You know, that one was a solid HOUR long. This is actually probably much better. I loved the different art styles. The story was interesting too.

It was kind of hard to follow, though. Happy Clock Day 2020! It's always great to know you guys are still around. There's so much going for you all. I take it it's all a reference to the coronavirus?

PhantomCat responds:

reference to the what now?

[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
