Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The World Ending]

That was really a lot of fun! My only complaint is that you should have shown more stuff at the end. It was just a series of stills. It's still a good cartoon because of how colorful it is. You really don't know what's going on. The voice was just perfect!

I would love to see more of this character! A pity she only seems to appear in this. It was simply a very creative cartoon. There's a lot of stuff going on. I like how the screen at the end works.

AtroxChobatsu responds:

Haha, thanks! Originally, there was video there, but it increased the filesize of the FLA by about 80% so we ended up using stills.

If you're interested, you can find Sarah in some other videos in my profile! She's also in "The Speech", "Shadow Puppets", and has an unspoken cameo in "How to Care for Your Cartoon Character."

[Mega Man X takes steroids]

I didn't read that this was something you did for health class. Edutainment is such a funny word. I still wasn't expecting something so serious from you. I love this because it really did stick to its message that steroids were bad. I'm so glad there's a drug we actually got something right on. There are an infinite number of misconceptions about every other drug.

It really was a heartwarming cartoon. The sprite work was as masterful as ever. The idea of the bit powerup was brilliant. I certainly hope you got a good grade in your class. You got a good one here!

DragoonFenix15 responds:

Well, the full story behind how the presentation went is... after all my work, the TV set this was displayed on didn't play the sound! The entire class watched it totally mute, but... it still got huge laughs out of everyone. I couldn't believe it! I'm pretty sure I did get an A. Wow, this was... sophomore year in high school!

[8-BIT WATERSLIDE: THE GAME!]

Aww, I saw this coming up and I thought it was a game. It still doesn't matter. It's really awesome as a trailer! It was that submission which made me be a fan of yours. I am so glad to at least acknowledge it! The artwork looks fantastic.

I just love how much he jumps around. Making a game based on a waterslide is a great idea. They're already good as video games in real life! Making one just seems like an obvious idea. I like how this guy screams so much.

teaandcheese responds:

Hey thanks very much, :D

[Rest & Relaxation]

While not great, this was definitely good. It's mostly because the joke is so unexpected. It seems like there were a lot of cartoons just like that out at this time. The animation is as good as ever. I think it could have been more than just one gag. I would have liked this more if it was in some sort of compilation.

I actually did get relaxed as I watched this. I mean, it doesn't seem to be that zany until the end. I like how he seems to poop out his brain. Dang, I'm weird. The sounds/music were great too.

vastcool responds:

Thanks!

[Death Mansion- Part 1]

This was really good! I appreciate all the little things going on. I just loved the music in this! Some of the design doesn't hold up, but it's still pretty good. That was a pretty long intro. You simply can't go wrong with zombies.

I guess stick flashes never died to begin with. I like the health bar thing. It showed that they were on equal levels. It was great to see him get back at the end. This does, however, seem more like a standalone cartoon.

IaMI2002 responds:

Thank you Ericho :)

[Molly & Wally in "Prank Call"]

Why am I seeing so much stuff that I don't understand? I mean, the prank works and then what? I will give you credit for having great animation. It really was funny to see her butt fly around like that. This just seems like one of your weakest flashes. I was expecting more of a joke.

Okay, poop can be funny. It just doesn't add up to much here. The redundant name is nice. Uh, happy first day of June? I don't see this becoming popular.

TmsT responds:

To answer your questions:
- Because you are expanding your horizons, challenging yourself by seeking out new things to learn from. Good for you!
- The prank works and then the movie concludes, having no further business after demonstrating the prank.
- It was actually the second day of June that was the happy day, when this movie won a Daily 2nd Place. Thanks for asking.

[HEAT MAN 2: Missing Scene]

That wasn't bad. It was good to see something that was just action. I guess the length was pretty good. I was confused as to why they didn't use their powerups. Does this take place before they kill Mega Man? The sprites were pretty nicely done.

The music was quite nice. They didn't get as damaged as I thought. Well, they still got hit a lot. I think Cut Man and Heat Man have the same head design. Laziness was abundant back then.

DragoonFenix15 responds:

I've realized that Robot Masters in general only ever have one of about 5 different head designs. It IS really repetitive...

[Lousy Total Recall]

Not that good, but it was good. I haven't seen "Total Recall" before. I have seen a review of it, but don't remember that much. I'm glad that you included the most iconic scenes here. Well, it didn't show Arnold dying in space or whatever. The animation was quite good.

It was just so macabre. I appreciate how much detail is put into it. You certainly have a unique drawing style. The voices are pretty funny too. It's just done in a nice manner.

LousyPandah responds:

Cheers dude,

this was my second attempt at doing an animation. It's weird though because I feel like my animation was a lot better back then :)

[Rhythm and Rockets]

I really do love this cartoon! In the beginning it reminded me of Fionna from "Adventure Time!". As it went on, it became awesome in its own right! I really do love how fluidly everything moves. I feel bad for not recognizing you as the creator of "Slush Invaders Duel". That's one of my favorite flashes ever!

You made something truly wonderful and unique here! It's great that it's so joyous. Everything is so wonderfully light-hearted. To think, I just reviewed "Rosethorne". Everything moves so wonderfully vibrant. I love it all!

gildedguy responds:

Thanks! This movie is a bit different from my stick figure stuff, so don't feel bad. Glad you enjoyed the tone and animation.
