Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Ascent of Alfred: Trailer]

This is only going to be a segment? I thought we'd be funding a whole movie! It doesn't matter that much, because this is still awesome. Yeah, you could call me a fan of Alfred. I really am impressed at how good the animation is. It's just so beautiful to look at!

The colors and effects are wonderfully vibrant. I love seeing all this insanity. I'm familiar enough with the character to recognize this tone. I assume that's you in the video. I hope this gets made!

emily-youcis responds:

Yeah, it will be a whole movie! It's just being released segmentally as completed so I don't dissapear for the next year.

['Dog Box Collosseum']

I feel bad for not giving this a higher score. I was interested as to what this jam was even about. I am glad I now know. All I can say is that it seemed to work out pretty well. This cartoon does seem vaguely familiar to me. Maybe it was just another cartoon you made that I'm thinking of.

I think the animation was pretty good. I was kind of turned off by the lack of dialogue. It is something that will take getting used to. I'm still glad it's the highest of anything in this collection. I guess I'm just not a fan of these jams.

Butzbo responds:

Hmmm; I think it may seem similar to an earlier cartoon from 2013, 'The Fish Tower', it has a similar premise (some sort of adventurer wandering into an abandoned place); I actually thought of this one as some sort of spiritual successor since it's just a an idea that worked well for this theme of the jam.

And yeah, these jams are really cool for practicing, but it's sometimes necessary to have the context of these to properly judge them, since the level of polish or storytelling can vary a lot.

Now that you mention it, I should do dialogue at some point; As much as I enjoy the potential of telling a story without words, it could bring more possibilities and points of view to my shorts.

Thanks for reviewing! :)

[Meincrampft: The Blockening]

The animation was pretty polarizing to me. It was really hard to figure out if it was good or not. It did make it pretty funny, but I'm not sure if it was intentional. Well, it was supposed to be intentionally funny at least. I guess for the most part I liked it. It did end up looking weird.

It's always nice to make fun of "Minecraft". I found more videos of that than literally any other video game or work of fiction ever created. Yep, all of these things exist. There is Minecraft of it. No exceptions.

Bobert-Rob responds:

As long as you enjoyed it, that's all I was aiming for. I know it isn't exactly perfect, but it's a new medium for me, so it's bound to be awkward. Kind of works, but it'll get better as I perfect it. Thanks for watching!

[Heroes of Cybertron]

I was very impressed by this cartoon! It's mostly because it holds up wonderfully after all these years. You were one of the first great artists on this website. I just love you expanding on the role of the humans. I'm not really a "Transformers" fan. The animation was so slick!

I just love how deep this is. You never think of the franchise as being like that. It was great to see that action. The emotional stuff was wonderful as well. If only the movies were this good!

MindChamber responds:

Stop it dude, you're making me cry :*3

[HAPPY SOULS]

I feel so bad for knowing nothing about "Dark Souls" but I do enjoy this a lot. You just need a sense of humor to appreciate it. My favorite part was probably when he looked like a baby bird. There were just so many cute moments. I liked when the dragon was slowly following them. The bits with them on the map were great.

Yeah, I don't know who these characters are. Those are the longest credits I've seen in awhile. I guess it fits for a long (by the standards of this website) movie! It was quite enjoyable in most ways. The voices were good too.

Jameserton responds:

Thanks Ericho.

[ANUSBOY THE MOVIE PREVIEW 2016]

This is probably one of your best flashes. It's weird to see a preview for something that was already released. I don't remember the length of the original. This seems as long as the actual movie! What I loved about this was how surreal it was. It still had fantastic animation.

I mean, this looks gorgeous! Well, it's technically ugly, but you get the idea. It's just so wonderfully detailed. I have no clue what's going on and I don't care. Anusboy even dies halfway through.

W-P-S responds:

What are you talking about? "Anusboy: The Movie" has not been released yet.
I think you're confused.

[Duck Hunt: Target = Mirth]

Wait, so that's it? It's just the dog getting shot? I mean, I want to see that happen too, but it was nothing else. I wish I could be the one to shoot him. Seriously though, it is great to kill him. I heard someone say that thing could be Scrappy's father.

It wouldn't surprise me. There's too much ending music though. You should have shown blood. Please go all the way! I can still understand why this was made of course.
