Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Big Rock Candy Mountain Massacre trailer]

Okay, that was freaking awesome. I thought this would be a real trailer. I then noticed it was too long to be just a trailer. Then again, if this was a real movie, eh it might work. Just seeing the dead body made me realize how gorgeous it was. It was quite gory.

Well technically, it was just chocolate and marshmallow. There was no real blood. It's a very original idea, too. The animation is so slick. I dare say it's sweet.

JojoBeanus responds:

hehe, love the sweet pun, god bless ya! and ooh, a real movie would be awesome! that's down the road tho, but would love to make it!

[APEX LEGENDS: Alter The 1V1 Experience! Portal War!]

This was a great cartoon and I'm glad to have come by it. It was kind of weird to see the same animation. I then realized it worked better as an experimental cartoon. It was kind of a demo reel. You know, how it suddenly shifted to "Dragonball Z" near the end. I didn't know what direction it was taking.

All I know is that it was wonderfully animated. The artwork just looked spectacular. I appreciate how there was so much going on in so short of a time. I guess it was just meant to have as much action as possible. The colors were great too.

Bronksson responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you watched it too. And yeah, that little demo is something I'll be reconsidering in my next videos, someone else mentioned it too. But thanks a bunch man

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 1000]

I'm not going to read that text at 1:48. Decipher it yourself. I remember Scientifically Accurate Sonic, sadly. I haven't see much of Game Theory. I remember "Ian Is Bored"! You're just referencing every other Internet series out there!

That was weird how it was a loop. I counted 22 segments, including the weird one in the middle. I thought there would be some kind of scene select. I missed thewax70. This was still grotesquely funny and definitely worth watching considering it had both "Oney Plays" AND "Game Grumps"! 

BaconFetish responds:

there were no game grumps clips lmao

[NGTV Summer Bash]

2:11 BLAM? This submission would never be blammed! I love how you had a real Mr. Freckles toy appear briefly. I don't think I've heard so many Wilhelm screams in a row in my life! How can a VHS talk about the Wii? Oh yeah, this was released on the first day of Summer!

My favorite part might have been the live-action part. It was just awesome to have a fish smoking a cigarette. The Saberspark parody was great too. That guy really is becoming popular. This practically was long enough to qualify as an NG movie! We need more stuff like that.

GruntVonVeizatun responds:

Of course! I built Mr. Freckles, check out my NG to see him :)

[Burrito Influencer (Burrito すごい)]

Wow, this was truly amazing! There were just so much going on. I loved seeing these random pop culture icons appear. I recall someone with an "Inspector Gadget" head and a Steven Universe look alike. Everything was just jumping around. I couldn't keep up with it!

It might have been too cluttered. It still works out great for itself. I thought it was going to show that avatar the whole time. Instead, we got a lot of great variety. I'm pretty sure the Bible says to not steal.

mattyburrito responds:

Thank you! The Burrito cartoons give me a lot more freedom to stick whatever I want in the bg's haha

[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:

teh 1st s3gm3nt was de1337ed fr0m n00gr0unds adn it is back in Piconjo Jam '24 bcuz j00 cann0t ki11 Piconjo!!!1!! n0 ma77er h0w much teh toadies try. LegendaryFrog isn't here anym0er adn got pwned but n0w w0rks 4 Piconjo studi0s<3

[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!
