Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MOUTHMAN!! EYECATCH]

Hmm, that was just okay. I mean, it was just one thing happening. It was mostly a gif with sound. I prefer those things be in collections. The title looked like "Mothman". I probably would have preferred that submission.

I do like the animation. It just doesn't really go anywhere. It's more like a preloader for a cartoon. Wait, we don't even have those anymore! Stupid death of Flash!

binejyeah responds:

to be fair it's supposed to be one of those things you see in anime when it cuts to the ad break
i definitely should've done an "aftermath" eyecatcher too so there'd be more substance to the thing as opposed to just that

[Piconjo Jam '24]

It's nice to know we have someone who remembers the minor holidays here. My favorite part was probably the first segment. I mean, we get the wackiest stuff here. I loved hearing that "Dragonball Z" audio too. It never gets old. LegendaryFrog isn't even really around here anymore.

Neither is Pikanjo. You guys are still here. Good for you! This might have been too long. It's still a must for any Piconjo fan!

Piconjo responds:

[Twomplr]

Wait, Adam McArthur? You mean, the same guy who voiced Marco from "Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil"? I don't even remember his voice! The name makes it sound like the Thwomps from Mario. It's a cross between Twitter, Tumblr, and...something else? I don't know where the "o" comes from.

Broats? That's an anagram for Borats! Anyway, this was hilarious probably because I don't use any of those accounts. The animation was spectacular. This was just perfect satire.

BroatsShorts responds:

Yup, that's the same Adam McArthur (although he didn't have much to say in this one... watch the other ones for more of his lines).

Thanks! And yeah, it sounds like a cross between Twitter & Tumblr, but basically just meant to sound like a generic app name - not specifically those two platforms. Just riffing on how social media truly is awful lately - although if anything I'm making fun of X the most.

[Phoney’s Complaint]

I admit to not being the biggest fan of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". From what I've seen of it, it's just okay. This was a good representation. Master Shake's voice is so funny. The animation was put very nicely. You know how to use expressions.

This guy looked like Bone from the comic "Bone". Then again, that was probably the intention. You know how to make expressions. I felt it didn't go on too long. I would have liked this more if I was an ATHF fan, but this was still good.

Corndogzella responds:

Yeah, same too, i'm not a huge fan of ATHF, i watched a few episodes and i like it but i don't watch it very often. Thanks for the long review, at least you appreciated it ;) and long reviews make me learn from it so i can improve.

[Nutty-O's Cereal (Short 3D animation)]

I admit that I didn't think too highly of this when I first saw it. I still really don't. It's too short. I really wanted to see that dog that was on the cereal box. I'm glad you included that cereal box info. It's just not enough for a commercial.

They need to be at least 30 seconds long. This was indeed nutty. I was able to navigate through the maze on the box cover. Well, technically it was a drawing. Dang, we got high scores today!

JPiXeLAnimations responds:

it was meant to be a short assignment to show our understanding of the particle system in C4D, not a full 30 sec. commercial, though i did want to emulate that feeling from this revision, with the little time i had before i got to showcase in class. but i totally understand wanting more from this, and i appreciate your feedback!
you'll definitely see more from these characters in the future!

[Chibi Weightlifting Tragedy]

Was that actual audio from a toddler? She shouldn't be around weights. Well, I don't meant to be ageist. I love how you have no idea what's going on in these cartoons. They don't see to follow each other. It's a cute little cartoon.

I just don't think these have consistent themes. The colors were pretty nice. Red, white and blue? You're getting us in the 4th of July mood! I hope she didn't hurt herself.

Cutsu-Art responds:

This is the reference video I used! :D

[#FixTF2, Do it for Mimi sentry!]

At first, I thought it would turn into something sexual. Well, it actually kinda did. I appreciate how good the animation is. It's just very, very short. The ending was a tad predictable. I just wanted to see more action.

I can at least appreciate how good this looks. It might have worked better as just a gif. You still got some good use of this character, if not much. She could use a nose. I noticed she only has three fingers on one hand.

CumminHam responds:

yeah i wanted to do more. i probably will do more.
but this was all i had time to make before the deadline.

i wanted it to be ready to drop for #SaveTF2.

[GOOD GUY; The Rise Of Yug Doog]

This was a good submission, but not one of my favorites. I thought it was funny how he was just called "Goodguy". The villain was pretty entertaining too. It didn't seem too long or anything. I appreciated the animation as well. Maybe it wasn't the most original of ideas.

The eye beams were probably the best action scene. The wrong building joke was rather nice. I liked how goofy the hero looked. It isn't that subversive, but still nice. These kinds of villains are fun.

Gazoogaloo responds:

i appreciate the honesty lol, future stuff from me will be a lot more original dw

[Kib & Bigg: Outside of the Box]

Hmm, this was kind of an odd cartoon. I guess I was expecting more action. Instead, it was a pretty normal one. Well, as normal as a cartoon about a cat and dinosaur (?) could be. It was pretty funny at the end when we saw the water leaking. It did give a message about staying inside.

Well, it's not always about video games. Or for that matter, the Internet. I noticed how it said "Breaking News" when the TV was broken. Was that a joke? It was fine for what it was.

spicycoffee responds:

Hey thanks for your review!
Certain scenes I would have like to have had more action, these can be things I can have more of in future projects since I'm looking forward to using them again for more animations.

Yea the TV realistically shouldn't be working so it's as if it's some kind of "magical coincidence" when Kib slams the door just off screen.

[CATFIGHT | Short Film]

Was that the "You" from "Crank That Soulja Boy" at first? I remember that meme. I do wish it was longer. It ended too abruptly! At least we got to see some amazing cats. This animation was just amazing!

I loved seeing how gorgeous everything looked. It helps that I love cats. Most people on the Internet do! I loved seeing everything flow together so well. Cats might actually see the world like this.

catfight90 responds:

lmaoooo i wish it was xD it's actually something Elisa made based on the kabuki yooo sound :0!! hopefully if we do another it'll be longer :) this was pretty short mainly since it started as a student film which we finished after a hiatus

and thank you so much for the sweet comment ;;!! ♡♡♡♡ really brightened our days to see all the support so far :D cats really are the best despite being gremlins sometimes :3c
