Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Animation Teacher]

I didn't care for this that much. It's mostly because it was just a loop. Okay, I have no idea how to make a loading screen, but it still stands out. I also didn't think the animation was that good. That was probably the point with the robot. At least it's kind of an original concept.

The guy's voice wasn't bad. It was just a bit boring. I do like flashes that are themselves about teaching flash. I'll never get into that myself. I'll just stick to reviewing.

HipnikDragomir responds:

The loop was unintentional. The mp4 transfer blocked out the line of "using Adobe Flash", so I threw in the raw swf at the last minute. Otherwise, meh. A quick, simple idea. Thanks for the review.

[CherryBot Hands Out Flyers]

I admit that this was hard to see the point of. It was just too short to really like. It's still nice with the animation. You made the thumbnail with this! I guess the title told you exactly what it was. Honesty is a true virtue.

The music was nice and appropriate. There's nothing bad about it. It should just have more going on. It would have worked better as a preloader. Oh well, Happy Robot Day!

MackleNG responds:

I agree bb, it was to short, unfortunately I didn't have much time to make this, like 2 weeks I think, the animation jam sure has tight deadlines, meh oh well, yeah more should of been going on, perhaps if I cut more corners I could of made it longer, cheers for the review boi

[Stereotype: Irish]

Wait, this really happened to you? I find it unlikely it came out just like that. The animation was great in this. I was easily able to recognize the voice of Warlord-Of-Noodles. You got TmsT here too! It's been too long since I've seen stuff by that guy.

The music was great. It's too bad this wasn't submitted around Saint Patrick's Day. You shouldn't have done it around Robot Day! Everyone will avoid it! This was a very funny cartoon people should see.

WooleyWorld responds:

FUNNY STORY it was supposed to finish months ago.....
And yeah that was Betsy and Andrew. Andrew's a busy boy.

[Robot Jobs]

This didn't seem like it was that much about robots taking jobs. I mean, these cats seemed happy with their robot allies. Well, suits I mean. The animation is very slick. It's great to have two Daily Features in a row about a theme day. I guess I just haven't seen this sort of thing in awhile.

The music was really nice. It had a pretty cute feeling to it. It's hard to go wrong with cats doing crazy things at all. Happy Robot Day! I'm glad we had such a productive year.

antdung responds:

Thanks for the commentary! I was going for robots trying to re-train their creators, but I guess that wasn't conveyed in any way. By the time I had uploaded it, I was so rushed and frustrated that I didn't bother to put it in the description.

[Robo cops]

Yes, that was pretty bad. Its main fault was that it didn't show the full animation. It was just sketches. It's not enough for a full flash submission. How is Robot Jam different than Robot Day? You don't even mention the robot jam.

I guess the voices weren't bad. It was just something that should have been finished. At least you were kind of bold with this. It was a risk submitting it! I have just seen much better.

Imprez responds:

thats understandable, I hope to get a finished version out soon, having a full time job has slowed my work process alot

[The Parable of the Sacred Turtle]

I was kind of confused by this. The actual parable didn't start until halfway through the whole cartoon. It was a weird narrative device. I would have preferred if you just told us the story directly. I wasn't expecting that turtle's throat to be slit. It is rather unpleasant.

Well, I guess it made sense with the story. It was nice to see this animation. The voices are quite good too. It is a pretty unique cartoon. It's just not one of your best, IMHO.

RiverJordan responds:

Yeah the intro is too long. I cut it shorter in the next one, and they'll probably only get shorter from there :P

[Fatsack: BWDS ep 1]

It's great to have you back! I even notice you have a new avatar. I love the animation! I am weirded out by the fact that this was so short. I mean, you have so much more potential! I would love to see longer stuff from you.

Of course, it's okay to make shorts. It just doesn't come off as that rewarding. This is still great to watch. I thought it was great, but not...that great? It just didn't seem good enough to earn a 4.60, but at least we get to hear fart noises.

chluaid responds:

My plan is to release very short shorts between my more substantial projects which can take anywhere from 4-12 months to complete. I decided to try releasing these 1-2 min pieces in between, to produce regularly and frequently

[catasasdsda]

I like your animation style. This just seems pretty pointless. I will give it credit for not being disgusting. You often have too many disgusting things. Then again, maybe it was supposed to be more disgusting. It could either make it or break it.

I guess the designs were pretty good. I don't like it how you used the same short audio loop. It should have been longer. It was already a loop. You have just done a lot better things.

golfinho responds:

thats is true.

[The Dead's Locomotion]

I found this to be just mediocre. The main problem was that the animation wasn't very good. It seemed to drag on. Were the actors to close to the microphone? The voice acting seemed rough too. There should have been shading.

I guess it was at least kind of different. The animation was its own style. It seemed to move too slow. I have seen a lot better. I always want to see stuff with zombies.

rodstew2 responds:

Yep this was pretty weak film of mine, I made it back in high-school and have gotten a lot better with flash since then.

[Batman v Superman]

I am sorry, but I didn't care much for this. It was just a short cartoon with a single joke. I guess more people liked this. The voices are pretty good. I just watched that movie yesterday and you know what? This was still better than that movie!

The animation was pretty good. You got their looks down well. It just didn't seem to really make fun of the movie. There was a lot to make fun of! It's just one of your weaker cartoons.

M4KBOT responds:

I always enjoy your reviews!

Don't let what other people think of a submission sway you though, if you dont like something thats cool :)
