Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ANAKIN Trailer (A Star Wars Animated Parody)]

For over two minutes, that was pretty long for a trailer. Honestly, this seemed like a standard episode. Well, they haven't started yet. The animation is great! It kind of seemed more like a tribute at first. Well, "The Rise Of Skywalker" does have a lower score than any prequel.

Guess it's okay to praise them now. This certainly looks great. Everything is so well set up. Well, the mainstream "Star Wars" films have ended. For now.

squeakytoad responds:

Thanks for watching! Yeah, there's like 30-45 seconds of original footage made for the trailer. Figured I had to make it stand-alone entertaining without ruining the videos coming out of the next few months.

[Skippy Pipper!]

I admit it's kind of predictable. A cutesy guy appearing during a virus? It won't end well. I actually thought it was done pretty well. I was wondering what happened to "2 Dumb Babies". Obviously, it's somewhere else now.

The animation's great. It's just one joke, but it's very funny. I can appreciate that. The colors are lush too. That's to be expected in a cartoon like this.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

You can find 2 Dumb Babies on YouTube and the audio podcast everywhere you find podcasts.

[GMSU 04-10-20]

Friday already? I admit that the date has little effect on me. It's because of the coronavirus. I knew it would dominate the news. i really did like seeing that alien again. I guess this is my biggest source of news now.

What a tribute to an old woman! My grandmother died recently too. I think she was even the same age! Glad I don't live in Chicago. I still haven't worked in a long time.

threebrain responds:

You should always get your news from Shing Fla!

[SONIC X REANIMATE]

How is the rating not higher?! I freaking loved this! I think it has even more contributors than any other collab I've seen here! It's not the longest, but still amazing. I personally think "Sonic X" was my favorite Sonic cartoon. I found out it's actually ranked as the lowest on the IMDb.

Well, I stand by that notion. It was more faithful than any other adaptation. I expected the credits and info listed to be a lot longer. Well, this website probably couldn't handle one that long! I'd have to watch it over and over to pick a favorite part.

AlexMint responds:

I guess maybe relatively few of the animators are on Newgrounds?

[Imperium Insecta]

I was quite impressed by this! The least funny thing on Newgrounds? I can think of a lot worse things than this. The best part is the animation. You seemed to show all sorts of different styles here. The sounds were great too.

I love how you list your inspirations. This is really well structured. These insects have a fair amount of personality. It's hard to do that in something so short. It's a nice watchable cartoon.

Kanohoro responds:

Thank you so much!
This is my first thing posted on Newgrounds, so I felt there was this expectation to focus on comedy, but it really means a lot to me that yours is my first comment!

[Sonic Seconds: Volume 8]

Hmm, seems like this would be the last one. It was a pretty fun series. My favorite is RogerregoRRoger. Dang, that's a hard name to remember. You really do make good use of the series. I'm thinking of the Sonic movie.

Well, this was made long before that. It certainly looked seconds. Well, doesn't everything last seconds? I mean, literally thousands sometimes. I never wondered that about Knuckles.

IndieTimber responds:

There's more but it's on YouTube.

[Antiquity Part 1 - Figureheads Of Speech]

I was kind of impressed by this. It was mostly the animation. Well, it was a double edged sword. It was definitely a unique style, but it did come off as stilted in some areas. I thought it would have no dialogue at first. Weird how it turned into a music video.

It wasn't fully one. That's pretty unique too. I would like to see more of this story. It is pretty hard to understand. Again, that's what makes it unique.

hotfroganimations responds:

Thanks Ericho, I appreciate the critique! I'm new to newgrounds and will be uploading the rest of the story over the next 9 days. This was made last year and you'll see things gradually improve a little as I learned more. It was a crazy big project and I was lucky to have got it, the band are really cool guys too.

[Bit by Bit]

I was disappointed that this was only a minute long. I thought, "How good can something that short be?". Boy, was I surprised! I'm amazed at all the references you put in such a short time. I'm glad you listed them. It was so fast it was hard to catch them all.

Hey, I just made a "Pokemon" reference! I knew the score was really high. Happy Pixel Day 2020 and for this being the highest rated submission for this holiday this year! This year really did impress me. I'm not even into Pixel Day that much.

gatekid3 responds:

Im glad you enjoyed it despite not being too big on pixel day. i want to be able to make people happy with the work i do, even if my artwork isnt the most polished

[Nick Lutsko - Sad Indie Song ( LX )]

That was quite nice! I admit the credits took up too much of the video. It's still very nice. It's something we can all associate with. Well, maybe not divorce. Just sadness in general.

I think the animation's really nice. It's great to have something so realistic. It shows you how our world works. Thanks for the kind words in the author's comments. Nice to know it isn't that negative.

AguRex responds:

Hao de... thanks a lot 😊.
Well its how I felt when I listened to the song.
Glad you like it 😊

[Beef Wellington.swf]

Uh, what? It seemed to just be showing a beef wellington. I thought this would be an instructional cartoon. You know, how to cook it. I guess it was well animated. It's just so little happening.

Happy 2020, I suppose. Nice to know you classic animators are still around. It looks more like bread. Then again, I don't think I've ever had that before. It looks nice!

Luis responds:

If swain made a longer video I could have done more with it. Blame him pls
