Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vagrants of the Shore: Fechin's Castle Coop]

Wow, that was rather nice. I will admit it was too short. I wonder to see the wizard do something. I could tell from the thumbnail it would be good. That is one cool looking wizard! Wizards are just cool.

Even the title is really cool. Will Champion? That sounds like a username. It was indeed a very nice castle indeed. I'd love to see this become a series or at least have a sequel.

tunatigerhobbes responds:

Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it and I hope I can make more within this world, I have lots more ideas for characters and stories :)

[Cute Paper Dice: Fruit Basketeer]

Oh boy... people are going to hate me for this, but I thought this was just okay. I mean, it was basically just showing off some characters and their stats. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just something that I would expect as like part of a game. You don't need a whole submission for that. Shadow Realm's Apple?

Is this "Yu-Gi-Oh" all the sudden? The drawings aren't that great. I mean, I expecting some shading. I seem to reference shading a lot. Then again, it's been awhile since I've reviewed an art submission.

Tyhond responds:

I was expecting this type of comment. Don't worry about it, I knew there's going to be a lot of issues but I made this for fun and other people enjoy it ^^

There's going to a few people who don't like it but I made this to share between me and my fanbase :> Thank you for the comment, I pretty sure you mean well.

[BOXCAR CITY RUSH VOL.2 KICKSTARTER TRAILER]

This was just a trailer? It was so stylistic it seemed like a full blown movie. I appreciate the vision you show off. It was great to hear this music too. The best part was probably how it showed parts of the comic. I'm not going to donate any money.

I'm too poor. I still think this will make a great series. It's already a great cartoon! That's one long author description. I'm certain you'll raise enough money.

GENC responds:

Kind words and sharing it around are always appreciated!

[X QUEST - POTION]

I can't tell if this is the first in the series that I've seen. Anyway, this was pretty enjoyable. It was especially cool with the animation. It didn't drag on too long. Am I the only one who thought the Shroomseller sounded like Salad Fingers? You know, like a female version?

It was nice he brought up that he already knew a bird. I was confused by how he was surprised to see a bird talk. I guess this guy was supposed to be a cat? The designs were cool. You didn't list the protagonists' voice actors in the credits!

TsuyoXMR responds:

Thank you so much, it means a lot that you liked it! And if you wanna know, the protagonists voice actors are both me, that's why they aren't listed

[Blamformers!: Revenge of the Blammed]

That was weird with how it ended so abruptly. I mean, it was just 30 seconds of blank screen. I kept thinking there was a Part 2. It was still great to watch. My favorite might have been the last one. I remember the original "Blamformers!".

I didn't know Transformers pooped. I liked seeing those stats at the end of every part. You'd think those would go before the part. There was mostly comedy, but some good action. I'm glad this didn't go on for over an hour.

CrockettDK responds:

Apologies, there was an editing mistake that I’m working on fixing right now.

[The Sign (She-Hulk Animation)]

Wow, you actually made a good something out of "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law". That's an impressive achievement! I still didn't think this was great. It was a bit too short. I'm glad it didn't get sexual. I've seen tons of jokes about clothes ripping off these characters.

The voiceover was pretty good. It did lack comedy. What am I talking about? The show lacked comedy! This was a pretty good little cartoon.

aggimajera responds:

I apologize it is short. I drew this cartoon out over a few months - its animated on 1's and 2's. I'll see about enlisting animators to help me produce longer stuff. I really am not into making this character overtly sexual - there is far too much of that.

Thanks for watching!

[GRIME]

Yeah, it was pretty interesting to see this. It just isn't one of the best ever made. My favorite part was probably how goofy he was. He just ate chalk! That really did give him personality. Well, especially with him drawing on his own face.

It's very easy to recognize your art style. I still think it should have had a background. I just expect something more in most flashes. This will undoubtedly get a high score. The title almost looked like "GRIMACE".

jumpbreak96 responds:

better grime anim soon !

[COMMERCIAL BREAK]

Well, this is it. The longest submission that isn't a compilation or a re-animated collab. This is even longer than "Klay World: Off The Table" which was itself advertised as Newgrounds' first feature-length film. This might be the only review where I've had to say "Spoilers"! I admit there were problems, like how the music could have been better. It got really surreal, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I think the best thing was how these characters grew on me. They probably had more character development than any characters in a Newgrounds cartoon. I KNEW he was going to destroy the painting at the end. I guess Alan's plan was to have Commercial Break destroy Ouroboros. They got the bag full of money at the end, so it wasn't completely pointless. I mean, that did have money in it, right?

My favorite part might have been the song at the end, too. Alan has probably more voice actors than anyone ever listed on this website. This isn't really an NG submission at all, it's a full-blown movie. You have shown us how you can submit an actual movie here. I wish we would have seen the Centurions arrest them. Obviously, everyone worked extremely hard and while it might not be one of my favorite submissions, it was certainly worth it.

MrPurpleMrPurple responds:

Thank you for the criticism and commentary. Although, in reference to the bag of money: what use is a bag of money when they're stranded in the middle of a desert lol!

I'm very happy that you enjoyed the film!

[Brain Dead]

Yes, that was a stupid quick animation. Whoops, got that backwards. I thought it would be a parody of "Inside Out". That's a trope. It's called Ghost In The Machine. Will everyone please shut up about those movies are a ripoff of "Herman's Head"?

It's a TROPE. It's used here to show how stupid a guy is by having his brain being depicted in a microwave. It's a very common idea that everyone has already used. I just love how goofy this design is. His hair style almost makes him look like Goku.

Framed51 responds:

That’s actually pretty interesting! I didn’t know that trope was called “ghost in the machine”. I’ve also never heard of Herman’s Head, I’ma look into that show!

[DYE HARD (SHORT FILM)]

I thought the animation was pretty good. I guess it was a pretty good painting. I admit that I didn't see the point of this that much. It probably should have been longer. I'm probably a hypocrite for saying this anyway. I could never draw this well.

I like the omission of the black outlines. It suits the theme quite well. It still just wasn't special out of the thousands of things I've reviewed. It should be relatable to artists. It's just not my thing.

panpikidaan responds:

This might help us in the future. My crew and I made this in a week and had a short deadline, so we couldn't expand it much. Thanks for your honesty
