Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NWAR #3: String Theory]

I really liked this, because I had no idea where it was all going. It truly was interesting to see how one thing lead to another. I didn't quite understand it all. Then again, it's a comedy, so it probably wasn't meant to make much sense. I really like the animation. The newspaper and gluestick factory thing was pretty cool.

It really is a cartoon that tries to make sense with itself. I liked the constant nut jokes. I was hoping there'd be one at the end. Oh well, this is still very good. The music is cool too.

danmarkowitz responds:

I forgot to put a joke at the end? Aw nuts!

[Bear And Bunny Boo ❤]

I LOVE this cartoon! I think the best part about it is how good the animation is. You just have no clue whatsoever is going to happen next. You don't even have any idea what's going to happen when the crazy stuff starts! I can see why this won Daily Feature. I just loved everything about it.

It was also just the right length. You knew just how to get the joke across as brilliantly as you wanted. The colors are gorgeous in this. It seemed like you were influenced by Gonzossm. I'm talking about the gritty parts, of course. It's just a wonderful cartoon.

Speedo responds:

haha o gee, thanks man. its funny you mention being influenced by gonzo since this cartoon was a step AWAY from that. as in, my styles always been compared to his constantly and it got a little annoying so i want to try some other things to maybe end the comparisons. but o well, thanks for the kind words tho

[Duck Day]

I thought this was fairly decent. From the title, I thought it was going to be from the Duck Division. That's a group on this website, right? I am pretty glad it wasn't. It would have just been one of those spam flashes. I like how quaint it is.

I was thinking that there was going to be some final punchline to this. It never really happened. Two million views isn't much for YT, I read that right, didn't I? I imagine this happens to most Internet animal celebrities. A pity they live shorter lives.

CameronMc responds:

The punchline was supposed to be the general goofiness of the escalation throughout the short, but yeah, it definitely could have been paced better. I did the audio in one afternoon then timed the different shots to that, so that'll probably give you an idea of how careful I was with it.

It was supposed to be less about this animal becoming an internet celebrity, and more about this silly mildly interesting thing that, because of pure luck, became something much greater than itself.

Maybe a little to nuanced for a silly doodle animation :)

[Cat Loo]

I really did like this cartoon. I'm surprised Weebl wasn't credited for it. It's obviously his voice on this. I guess I'm kind of glad it isn't in an infinite loop. There must be some feature here that allows you to rewind it, like the audio submissions. I always like things with cats. It helps you didn't get too scatological with this.

I'm not that much into poop, at least not as much as cats. This reminds me of a strange fear I had in childhood. I was afraid the toilet had a giant ant in it. I'd have rather cats in it. The melody is as good as ever.

RWappin responds:

Hey thanks. I tried to add Weebl on the sidebar thing but he has to click something to accept it. I gave him an audio credit and mentioned it in the description, but I guess I'm kind of relying on people to read those things.

[Scaredy Dave: Episode 2]

I admit that was freaking fantastic! I think the floating rabbit head said something about the guy who was reading a book wanted his life, I don't know. I freaking LOVED the animation in this. It's among the best I've ever seen! I can't believe I missed the first episode of this. Everything just flowed together wonderfully.

I even loved how creative the credits were. This was just the perfect length too. I appreciate all the effort put into drawing this. It's just fantastic to look at. I love the voices too. I'm glad to be introduced to someone as great as you!

ScaredyDave responds:

Wow thanks! If you haven't seen it already, you can catch the first episode here on Newgrounds as well! The link is in the description, or you can find it on my Newgrounds account. Thanks for the love! Haha in this episode I did ALL of the voices except for the evil laugh the Cow Skull Ghost/Demon (his name is Big Bad Ghost). Glad you had fun! More to come!

[Internet Withdrawal]

Oh, this is just so funny. It's one of the best examples of how good a really short cartoon can be. I think the main reason I like this so much is because of how good the animation is. I mean, it really is top notch! It's like you can really see all the bits of fur on these hamsters' bodies.

At least I think they're hamsters. It's hard to tell if they're gerbils or guinea pigs, or, well, hamsters. It's great to see someone go crazy like that from being away from the Internet. It works so wonderfully to get its funny joke across. I can see why it won Daily Feature.

WaldFlieger responds:

Thank you so much!! :D

[Super Happy Fun Time 31]

I liked this. It seems like it really does revel in the cheesiness of standard Clock flashes. Then again, most of your other cartoons are like that. I'm starting to get a better understanding of what's going on in this series. I like the notion of long legged electronic devices. He really does have an expressive face here.

It's always nice to have different voices, even if it isn't actual voices. Now that I look back, that stick was pretty annoying. I like the beginning where it pans down. It seemed to be a good length too. I liked most of it.

InsulinpumpClock responds:

Thanks for all your reviews. I missed this one! I'm glad your getting an understanding of this series. Honestly though I'm not sure if that is possible.

[Clockless]

I liked this and really for no reason other than that it sets itself up so well. I was wondering what the date of this submission would be. I guess this was the actual movie. Yeah, it makes no sense, but is still quite humorous. I really like non-sequitor stuff like this. Movie critics do use "riveting" a lot, don't they?

It's nice to see some live-action stuff here. I know it's not usually preferred, but it's nice every now and then. Or was the video in the video the actual film? The music sets everything up so well. Happy Clock Day 2013!

ChandlerThompson responds:

Riveting sounds about right, yeah. Thanks for the review, buddy!
