Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Man or Bear?]

Okay, I ended up loving this. The best part was how cute those bears were. I didn't recognize them all. I thought I knew my bears! This reminds me of Stephen Colbert. He's known for his fear of bears.

I would choose the man. I mean, I AM a man! Oh, "Atop The Fourth Wall" reference. This was just very cute. I liked how quick it was.

[Mouse EXE // VERSION ONE]

I really hate to do this, but I just didn't care for this. The main problem is that it was just too talky. I'm more used to having action in stuff that's like a video game. I know there's plenty of games like that, but they were never really for me. The music is great, though. I mostly skip the dialogue like that.

It has rather bright colors. The atmosphere is set up in a pretty unique way. It just mostly suffers from being too boring for me. No one here seems to agree with me, though. This main character is still pretty likeable, I guess.

Tyhond responds:

Fair enough :> I was talking inspiration from like Oneshot/Cave Story where plot and story are usually a whole good chunk. Undertale too since their story quite good as well.

It's supposed to be story-rich with a bit of puzzle, so it won't appeal to everyone.

[Lockday 2K24]

Twenty years? It's been going on that long, huh? I wasn't expecting to see your butt. I didn't even know what an aubergine was! You're my favorite Lock yet I never looked it up. I knew it was like an eggplant or I guess it is an eggplant.

I like how profane this is. It's nice to hear the Locks speak normally. You rarely hear that. This is what pubs are made for. It's more like a Saint Patrick's Day celebration.

AubergineLock responds:

Wetherspoons is the epitome of British culture.

[DEATH BATTLE: Spy vs. Annoying Orange]

Wow, this was hilarious! I am in fact a fan of DEATH BATTLE! I know how divisive this series can get. Seriously, people have gotten really mad at this series. It's great how you mocked it. I knew that Spy would win. Oh yeah, I remember MUGEN.

That makes a lot of sense. It was great how stupid this animation was. It's just a great spoof for how dumb it presents itself as. This is indeed the format. Why wouldn't he just eat an orange?

tysm for watching pls subscribe to my channel

[MISSING HOME]

It seemed more like it was about depression than about being homesick. This was still pretty effective. My favorite part was how you could see right through them. It's a good metaphor. Maybe it was about stress. We can relate to these things.

We can relate to these things. I think any being with long appendages is the Slender Man. Now we're into the Backrooms. I've never seen flashes like those around here. This is still nice.

CybeR responds:

Thank you :) I appreciate the comment! The title was named after the title of the song, not necessarily about the animation content haha. But you're spot on with that!

[The worst she can say is no… (Inugami Korone animated)]

Wow, that was bonkers! I'm glad it won Daily Feature. Many people would forget it around Pico Day. I still remember! I was impressed at how silly it was. I mean, the animation was so goofy!

The worst thing was being killed. I should've seen that coming. I thought she said, "Are you s**tyis? The lines were really silly too. Seems like a demented Valentine's Day submission.

noinimble responds:

IT WON DAILY FEATURE????

[An Inusual Bitrhday (Pico day 2024)]

I can see why it took so long for you to animate. I had little idea as to what was going on. They were going into this place with all these different versions of them! It was hard to tell who was who. I love the title. It definitely was unusual!

Hey, my birthday's coming up too! This really did celebrate all things Pico. My favorite part was probably the knife fight. You have to be good at animating stuff like that. Cake is something we should all fight over.

KiugaVanHollow responds:

I really appreciate your words! Oh! and happy birthday too! Hahaha, I'm aware that my brainstorming may confuse people a lot, however, I really appreciate that you enjoyed it! thank you so much for that!

[Pico in Wildwood, NJ 🛹]

I had to look to see whether it was a game or not. It was still well animated. I think the bird appearing was something different. It needed a lot more variety. It was just Pico skateboarding. It was mostly a gif.

I've never heard of Wildwood before. I thought that was an eggplant in the title. It was just a skateboard. I know what eggplants are used for in testing. So should you.

Luis responds:

It was a gif. Technology hasn’t advanced where you can attach music and sound effects to a gif.

[Newgrounds Sega Saturn Collab]

That Newgrounds joke at the very end was great. It's awesome how it was at the VERY end. I had no idea these characters were even from Sega games. I was expecting Sonic to appear. "Mortal Kombat" is owned by Playstation, not Sega. They're different, right?

This was very bizarre. A little hard to enjoy with how incomprehensible it was, but still quite good. It was still quite a unique collab. I'd think a collab would be bigger. That is quite a good preloader.

Anonymous-Frog responds:

The scene is actually based on "Virtua Fighter 2". Name probably got mixed up.

PS: Mortal Kombat was owned by Midway, later sold to Warner Bros.

[The Matrix Collab | Short Film | Dial-Up Studios]

When I first saw this, I thought it would be the entire movie re-animated! I was then thinking there'd be no way, as that would be too long. It was still great to see everyone together like this. I was expecting everyone to be credited. I lost count of the scenes after 15. You still get so much done.

It was nice to see the live-action bits too. A little bit here is nice every now and then. It's been awhile since we've seen Matrix related stuff here. Maybe we need some references to "The Matrix Resurrections". Yes, that could have been better. It was still better than Revolutions.

WesMakowski responds:

sadly this wasn't the full movie, but there will be a vote on our Patreon in a few months to determine which of our "Short Film" will become our 4th full length collab film. Our previous Mean Girls Short collab will be on the roster as well.

In the mean time, we're working on our 2nd film, El Dorado Redialed (full collab film of "The Road to El Dorado") so watch out for that. Before that, we'll have two more short films coming very soon. The Matrix is an iconic film that only ages better with time. Thanks for your comments :)
