Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strawberry Pilgrim]

Wow! This has a score of 4.41 and yet it didn't win a single award! Well, people do just vote high on everything on Clock Day. It's still mostly forgotten now. I love Scott Pilgrim. It's one of my favorite comedies.

I read the whole book series too! I guess the animation could be better here. I do like the punchline. It wasn't like that in the comics or movie obviously. Sephiroth as #7 was pretty funny.

AnkhClock responds:

Oh it only has a score this high because I voted five on it every day back when that was allowed lol.

[A Recipe for Bad Dreams]

Wow, I really am impressed by this jam. I think this is one of the most prolific jams we've had in a long time! It's great to know this website is still thriving, at least in some way. It was quite different. I got really interested when it showed the dog dreaming. I can see why it won Daily Feature.

Hopefully, this will get a lot of views. Nice to see it was a collaborative effort. That wasn't even for voices! It was definitely done in high spirits. I can always appreciate that.

antdung responds:

Thank you! As a collaboration, it was a lot of fun to make!

[Bad Dream :(]

I admit this wasn't great, but it was still fun. Was this based on a bad dream you had? Was that the premise of this jam? Well, it seems to be about bad dreams from the characters themselves. I actually did like the animation here. It was just too short.

You needed to have more going on. Congratulations on being the thumbnail! You deserve your Underdog Of The Week award. At least it's not Turd Of The Week! Happy Jam I guess.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Ha ha no actually The name bad dream is just a joke! Chutney just suffocates is all and did not suffer from a bad dream. I didnt actually expect it to be worth being in the jam let alone the thumbnail!

Thanks Ericho!

[Sonic VS Pooh]

This is one of the strangest cartoons I've seen in an long time. I mean, it's Sonic fighting Winnie The Pooh. I do love both characters. It could have been longer. I just wish it would have made more sense. It's still a good cartoon.

I guess they're fighting because they're both yellow? I didn't even know Sonic had a real yellow form. I thought that was just a fan thing. You know, a tribute to "Dragonball Z". The sounds are quite good.

AnUnfortunateSnuggle responds:

Thanks for the comment! I think I do intent to make it longer in the future but in all honesty this was just a practise animation to try my hand at frame by frame! I only chose these two as they have a simple character design and a fight scene doesn't require any nuanced or complex character acting aha

Sonic has had a yellow (super) form since his second game, which I believe actually was done in tribute to Dragonball Z. But yh, if I make it longer I'll try and think of some contrived reason for them to battle!

[Wonders: Date Night Protocol]

Great to have LegendaryFrog back! I admit this wasn't as big as most of the other cartoons. It's mostly because it just doesn't have many characters. It's still very funny. The animation is as good as ever. It's great to see how LegendaryFrog's artwork has evolved over the years.

The best part was easily the logic bomb. It seems like a pretty obvious idea. I still don't quite recognize these characters. It's hard to tell when the episodes are so spread apart. I bet this will win an award!

Toonwerks responds:

Thanks! It HAS been awhile since the last episode... we took a couple years off to make a series called "LLOYD" with Brad "The Cinema Snob" Jones. We're hoping to do more Wonders now though!

We did a podcast about what went on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io40kEEJw78

[Lovestreams]

Happy birthday to me! Well, it's not my birthday anymore. I admit that this did have its slow moments. It's still a great cartoon. The best part is probably the animation. Was this based on "Ready: Player One"?

That's the vibe I got. I'm not accusing you of being a ripoff. This was still a wonderful cartoon. The best part was seeing the details of all the avatars. It's that beautiful.

wh347 responds:

Thanks for watching! I actually finished this movie in 2017, before the Ready Player One movie had come out. I also read the book after I finished, after a friend pointed out the similarities. I definitely see the similarities, but I also feel like both mine and RP1 were probably inspired by something like Second Life and MMOs in general.

[GMSU 05-16-18]

It's been too long since an episode. Is that what I should call these? I'm impressed by the animation! How did you make such a huge transition in such a short time? There's so much difference! It was just great to see so many movements on the characters.

They really came alive. I miss the old intro. Well, this didn't have an intro at all. It was still very fun. I'm quite surprised the rating is only 2.25.

threebrain responds:

hahaha 2.17 cause I think Jimmy took too long to get to the jokes! Cardinal rule: get right to the silly! :-D

Tanks! I been trying to learn After Effects. It's a little wobbly n' thangs. Will be fixing it up.

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 7]

Boy, was that epic! This is probably the best in the entire series. I admit to not seeing most of the other episodes. This just had one joke after another. It's hard to tell when it will end. The John Lennon bit was probably the best.

Claus looks like Hitler. Well, we see Hitler in everything nowadays. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. I like the put together joke at the very end. It's quite creative.

ApocalypseCartoons responds:

Thank you very much. This is one of my faves too. Very whacky and Looney Tuney.

[Starbarians meet Ark & Kerrigan]

Happy Pico Day 2018! Well, you're about the only person celebrating it. It was May 5th this time. The animation was great! Well, should I say the animationS were great. Everything was pretty unique.

Why was the artist's name there when it was only one artist? I mean, there were certainly a lot of people working on it. I haven't heard from Kerrigan in a long time. Not even LegendaryFrog that much. I love you, Sonucais!

SuperColoroid responds:

Thanks Ericho!
That was shocking! I don't know what happened this year. So few entries...

It's a tribute and parody to the series of Harry and LegendaryFrog, so that's why I name them in the credits.
I showed to MarkAnime and Sonucais the progress I was making with the animation, that's why they are BetaTesters.
