Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Charlie Brown Christmas Reanimated]

Damn, I had no idea this would be fully reanimated. Why wasn't it advertised like the "Road To El Dorado" collab? My favorite part might have been the "South Park" bit. Then again, anything with Lucy was awesome. I watch this every Christmas and this year was no different. Maybe you couldn't have crucified Snoopy.

This still got the message of the special down perfectly. It was just wonderful. This was a collab within the NGTV Christmas collab. A collab within a collab?! Anyway, I loved their faces at 1:54. I thought Snoopy looked like Mickey Mouse before that. This is my favorite Christmas related media of all time and you guys did it perfect service!

Kolumbo responds:

The reason for no advertising is that it was made to be a secret surprise inside NGTV

[A Yume Nikki Christmas]

Yeah, I guess it was kind of rushed. I was a bit disappointed by the ending. It was just her awakening from a dream. Still, it was a Christmas cartoon. I appreciate the animation. That was the part that wasn't rushed!

The story just wasn't the best. I do like her throwing the message in a bottle out the window like that. I'm glad to see these high rated cartoons on Christmas! They're just not my favorites this year. It's still the thought that counts.

Pogney responds:

Thanks for the review! Yume Nikki itself is a game with a very vague story and almost no plot. The last video I made for it was more coherent, but for this one I kind of just shoehorned in references. I think this was a hard lesson to myself about starting animations that need to be posted before a certain date. I will live and learn!

[Power Star Reimagined: Pathway Into Darkness]

Why isn't the score higher?! Is it because it's a sprite movie? You rarely do see those things here anymore. I love the "Power Star" series. It was especially nice to hear voices in this. Those are pretty rare in sprite flashes.

The best parts are easily when Mario has a sword. That's something he should do in the games. I had no idea this would be so long. When it said the animator's name, I thought it was part of a collab. I can see inspiration from Krinkels too.

Fyar responds:

Search up "Power Star Unleashed" made by the us too. Unfortunately, if this project is to continue, we need to hire another animator.

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Shopping (S3E4)]

I thought this was very sweet! It was great to see them talk about going out of their costumes. They never take them off. I thought it was heartwarming how they got gifts for each other. It was nice to have Katy there too. I was amazed at the backgrounds.

At first, I thought it was like live-action photographs. It really looks very convincing. I love how stylistic a mundane setting can look. It wasn't too long or short. It's just a nice little Christmas gift!

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks, I was worried it would be too short haha. and glad you liked the BGs, they're photographs I painted over. That felt like a naughty cheat but it was necessary to get the cartoon done before Christmas and I think they turned out ok-ish.

[Tyhond // Decorate]

The Most Prolific Reviewer? I'm the most prolific reviewer! Well, I'm still behind XwaynecoltX. Anyway, this was pretty good. I thought the background was just fine. It was like a checkerboard.

The pink is brighter, but not as good. It still ended up being a good cartoon. The short length was what it was supposed to be. It's just not a great cartoon for me. I like how this character is green.

Tyhond responds:

Oh thanks :> Well it seemed like I've improved according to you so that's a win!

[the Quest of Ms. Pac-Man]

Dang, I didn't know this could get so complicated. It started off being authentic to the game, but then just got absurd. I doubt this is all from the game. I love how there's no dialogue. Once again, it's very authentic to the game. Who knew Ms. Pac-Man could have this much character development?

Everything is just so nicely colored. You get a sense of true hard work put into this. I will admit it is too long. You probably could have cut some stuff out. It's still a very enjoyable cartoon.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Am glad you enjoyed it ^ ^

Funnily enough, a lot of elements from the toon are from different Pac-Man games, the main elements are loose adaptations of mechanics from Pac-Man Arrangement, World 2, and a few hints of World 3.

Threw them in to spice up the story so it wouldn't fully be a retread of the original toon from years back

[Christmas Special]

Yeah, I can understand why the rating is so low. I mean, there seemed to be so little detail in this. The animation was really low in this. It was mostly just some guys hanging out. It was nothing interesting at all. There was a robot too for some reason.

The voice actors didn't do well at showing emotion. It seemed to barely have anything to do with Christmas. The robot may have been the best character. He had at least a different character design.

iceler21 responds:

I second this, also it was made over a year ago.
Oh yeah also what robot? Genuinely curious, because I never added a robot character to this series

[Dr. Good's Christmas Special]

Wow, I didn't know Dr. Good did Christmas stuff. I was surprised by how vulgar it got. Well, it's been too long since he appeared. That's one big boobed woman on the poster. The main focus is of course on the shorts. Dr. Good really made it this time.

My favorite is the Tom Fulp one. It was quite heartwarming. I haven't seen some of those characters in a long time. The bloody snowman one was pretty freaky too. The krampus is getting more recognized all the time.

DannyGoodShirt responds:

lol Dr Good gets silly for Christmas.

[Tyhond // Cat]

I hate to admit this, but I thought it was just okay. I didn't like how small it was. The cat's name is Pat? Yeah, I'm just kidding. It was just kind of boring. He patted the cat and that was it.

I wish there was a background too. This was at least one in good spirit. It was a bit funny near the end. The animation was mostly just okay. I like the character's design.

Tyhond responds:

All your points are fair but as a person who return from an Art Class after a critique final, you sound like my teacher giving me grades on how I do ToT (In a good way)

To be fair, I was kinda expecting low score from people like you so I understand xP

[Grating Simulator]

What the hell was this?! It was sheer insanity right from the first second! I of course loved it! Hey, I'm a fan of Animutation. I'm into insane things. I guess I liked it how everything worked out for them in the end.

The ear rape was pretty annoying. The colors were amazingly bright in this. My favorite part might have been the beginning where the guy was just smashed into red stuff. It was almost like something from Sexual-Lobster on LSD. Thank you for all the hard work put into this insane cartoon!

Magibauble responds:

in my defense it was called "grating simulator"


thanks for the review haha
