Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Watch your step]

Hmm, this was pretty good. I just didn't think it was deserving of such a high score. It reminded me of Zelda. The best part was probably how well it was paced. You rarely see a shovel being used as a weapon. The animation wasn't bad.

Well, most people liked it a lot more. It probably could have been longer. Seems like every cartoon I've been reviewing here is a minute and a half long. Probably too short for a music video.

4thNoah responds:

i am glad you still liked it in fairness.
Brace yourself games did made a Legend of zelda and Crypt of the necrodancer combined game called Cadence of Hyrule on swtich. personally cant say much about it because i have yet to play it myself.

[Tales of Zale: "Into the Ruins!" - Episode 3 [CLIP]]

I admit this was a weaker submission for you. That still means it was good! The animation is as crisp as ever. This needs its own section. Do we even have those anymore? Always great to see new stuff from great authors.

It was too short. The ending was still pretty effective. You can be good with something short. You deserve your Daily 2nd Place. Hmm, that might not be saying much.

Hikarian responds:

As mentioned in the description this is just a little clip from the upcoming episode. I just wanted to show a bit of what I've been up to since it'll still be a while since the full story is finished. Know a single clip is not the most suitable for Newgrounds, but couldn't help myself - look forward to sharing more!

[Mercenary Cooking Time]

Did that use actual audio from the series? It seems so authentic! If not, it sounds just like the game. I was actually sad when it ended. That's when you know it's good! I've grown fond of these "Team Fortress 2" characters.

I've never actually played the game. The animation was so awesome here. Dang it, you almost won every major award! I can't believe this got a Daily 3rd Place. Well, the score speaks enough about it.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

So the funny thing is the Heavy and Demo were me, the rest was audio from the game : D

[Frosty's New Hat]

That was hilarious! It really does make you think of the implications of Frosty the Snowman. I remember "Snowy The Frostman" from Sam T. I'm glad you came up with something original. Well, he was still evil...occasionally. Nice reference to "The Santa Clause".

The animation was a great imitation. You keep up enough jokes for the length. Dang, you guys have made a lot of series. It's great to see more Christmas cartoons. There seem to be fewer this year.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Used to work with Sam a couple years ago! We worked on a fun series on Worldstar.

[A Witcher in Broknigron]

Wasn't expecting to see topless women in this. Well, there's porn everywhere nowadays. That guy's chin looks like testicles. Not so much a butt. I admit to being unfamiliar with what this was based on. I like the artwork.

It's goofy and detailed. It's certainly unpredictable. I don't know what a witcher is. I love the author comments. We all want to be true to the material.

Hulalaoo responds:

omg, you still here after 10 years ??? wtf, and how in the earth u don't know about The Witcher ??

[2 Dumb Babies Ep. #2 - Guns]

Why isn't this its own series? It's freaking hilarious! I just now noticed the writing on the background. I thought you were going to say a 17 month old committed the shooting. Okay, that's impossible. It was the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote.

That came out way after the one that ended slavery! Women haven't had a hundred year history of slavery. That's the amendment that should have come out first. Oh yeah, babies would talk about dead babies. It kind of reminds me of "Creature Comforts".

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

Women got to vote right after we made alcohol illegal and just before we made it legal again. I'm not saying those two things have anything to do with the other but probably.
