Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[You Are A Toy!]

Well, the animation was quite good. I just uh, didn't quite understand the last joke. What did Mr. Potato Head have to do with anything? I admit, he looked good. It just didn't seem to really go anywhere. Still, I love "Toy Story" and anything related to it.

The voices were quite good. The setup was pretty strange. At least Buzz learned his lesson. Why'd he say "again"? Wouldn't he know this from the previous time he did it?

M4KBOT responds:

Yeah, him saying "again" is a reference to when he falls and breaks his arm at Sid's house in the first film. I guess he just didn't learn his lesson and is too cocky to turn down a chance to impress Woody.

[Dark Prophet Trailer]

Um, I can't really say I enjoyed this that much. If you have live-action stuff, it really shouldn't be here. If there is some of it, it should at least be a comedy. It just doesn't seem to fit in. This doesn't seem like anything special in itself. I'm not used to trailers like this here.

I guess it is something different. Hopefully, the actual series will be better. The action seems pretty fast paced. It is a bit hard to take it seriously. It's interesting to see different actors in this.

renderyard responds:

Hello Ericho,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment about our new web series Dark Prophet. We feel the video games and animation audience on Newgrounds is ideal for this series. Its full of action and technology and is very similar to some of the live action games that are now being sold. Episode one will go live this Friday we hope you enjoy it and feel free to share your ideas and reviews.

[Essence of Manwhore]

Yes! I am finally understanding the continuing story of this! I always hesitate to give this the highest score. I mean, you make so many of these it's hard to really say if one's better than the other. Either way, this is still awesome. I love the part about the pasta the best.

I'm no pervert, but I know people who are. And seriously, who doesn't masturbate? The animation and voices were as great as better. Fernando's got great hair. Of course this will win Daily Feature.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

YAAAAAAY the coveted ericho five stars.

[Ice bucket Challenge]

I was quite impressed by this! At first, I didn't think it would be interesting to see a cartoon version of this. I'm glad there were so many variants. This is really popular with artists too! I love how you mention the money you donated. I can see why it made front page.

I don't quite understand the Nick part. I knew that would happen with the acid. Nice touch with the dinosaur at the end. I'm glad he turned out okay. This was very well done.

NCH responds:

I guess you arent a 90s kid? nick is nickelodeon, which back in their haydays of the 90s, pretty much famous for their slime, and their gameshows always dunk kids in slime.

its more of a hommage to old 90s nickelodeon

['Chicken Castle']

I didn't know what to expect of this. It just seemed like a strange cartoon at first. It really did get better! The fight sequences were quite creative and well done. They didn't make much sense, but they didn't have to. I'm glad everything worked out for them in the end.

See? I'm sympathizing with these characters. Oh, I get it now, he was a giant worm, which chickens eat, right? It was a pretty triumphant style cartoon. I'm glad this was featured.

Butzbo responds:

I really appreciate getting all sorts of views on the outcome of these animations, always glad to read a "train of thought"-like commentary :).
Thanks for the review once again!

[2009: Taylor Mitchell]

I thought the animation wasn't that good. It seemed like it was just one joke, which it was. I guess it was kind of unexpecting to see those guys. I'm thinking Steve Irwin should be here. His death was unusual. I guess animal attacks are just rare.

The animation really looks old. Even something for a jam should take longer to make. At least this has showed that you kids did your research. It's always interesting to learn trivia. You should have showed him getting killed.

NothingStudios responds:

with Steve Irwin I couldn't have made a furry joke..

[1979JohnBowen]

Yeah, I looked this up too. I will admit I didn't think this was that good. It was just a flying lawnmower attacking this guy. There should have been more going on. Well, there was enough, it's just that it was too short. The guy actually died four days later.

Yeah, to get into that would be morbid, even for you. There could be some other people there. Well, I haven't done research as to how it really turned out. I guess it's hard to make something that long in this. It just could have been more enjoyable.

TerribleDesign responds:

So what you are saying is that I should program a loop that loops the animation/sound for four days. That can be arranged.
This is no where near as morbid as I get; I've been on the internet a long time. :)

[Fernando's New Fragrance]

It's weird, because at first I was thinking that this was too long. At the end, I actually thought the opposite. I wanted to see more of his father! It was still a great cartoon. I think your older cartoons are the only ones that never made front page. The animation and voice work is as good as ever. It was great to see something come out of that banana.

I was thinking this might be a music video. Well, it was kind of talking about a music video, I guess. I would love to see this story continue. Young Fernando looks so innocent. I bet you'll reply to this...or not.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

HI ERICHO!!!!

['Dimensional Flakes']

I can see why this is the highest ranked submission for this round. Damn, are there a lot of these. At first, I didn't understand how this fit with the theme of finding a way back home. I had no idea he was going to go to that weird dimension. I love how he continues to eat the cereal. Hey, nothing bad happened to him after that!

I think the animation is wonderful is this. The transition effects are great. I really have no idea what's going to happen next. The music and sounds were great too. It was a pretty unique take on this premise.

Butzbo responds:

It took me a while to find a way to finish it; at the end I thought the most ironic way was to have the character continue with his breakfast after all, heheh.
Thanks a lot for the review!

[Buncha Guys - Episode 2]

I ended up enjoying this cartoon. I think it could have been a bit funnier, but it was at least decent. The best thing about was probably the animation. RWappin and DonkeysBazooka are two of my favorite animators. I appreciate all the hard work put into that. I was wondering what would happen in this.

Omahdon is really becoming the voice actor nowadays. I like how fluidly everything moved. I thought the guy had a beard at first and not a trunk. It was fun to see him eat his cheese treats with it. I like the "buncha" name.

WeirdoGoon responds:

Thanks! Rwappin and I both worked on the animation part. I did the keyframes, the videogame scene, and some other parts and he did the bulk of the in betweens and lip sync; He really does a great job! There were also lots of specialfx n' stuff added afterwards using After Effects etc...
