Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Tax Song]

Can't remember the last time I've seen a puppet movie here on NG! Awesome work emulating that traditional Sesame Street kind of style (some characters do show a resemblance too), and it's a pretty catchy sing-along song with a few heavier moments. :) Nice work.

InsertNameEnt responds:

Yeah, kind of strange going into a mainly animation-centric platform with puppets, but we can't think of a better community for what we do than Newgrounds since so much of it is informed by classic Flash content that we grew up with. Thanks!

[Fuchiball Kick]

I guess the moral of the story here is: find some better place to play than on top of a building. :)

That was a pretty fierce kick! Nicely animated.

fabianlpineda responds:

XD. It is based on a true story. In the animation study where I worked we used to play fuchiball on the top of the building and we kicked out the ball every time. The worst part is that we couldn't recover the fuchi because it fell on the roof of other building and not in the street. So we had to buy another. :)

[Red vs Ash Pokemon battle]

Brings me back! XD Most entertaining Pokemon battle too. Nice one.

storytellerYT responds:

Thanks!

[Stadium Police!]

Well that was entertaining. :) Unusual choice of main characters too, and a good finale, though seems like some parts are missing audio? Intentional? I thought you might be trying to make it seem like the crowd cheering was all you could hear, but when they do talk they're a lot louder than the crowd so I suppose that's not it? Overall: good animation.

OblitusCS responds:

Hey man! Thanks for a lot! Maybe the crowd noise could have been a little louder, but you are suppose to listen to what they are saying, that was the idea. Of course there is always room for improvement.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to sharing your thoughts.
Best of luck to you my friend! Have a great day!

[Unemployment]

Or Newgrounds or somthing. :P It'd be the dream!

Entertaining narrative with unnaturally artistic visual storytelling with it. Feels like it doesn't always match what you're saying, or time in at the right place, but they do entertain; intrigue; surprise. The long love letter and conclusive couch session was pretty creative too. Nice work.

GrahamDrawsButts responds:

lololololol
Yeah I figured my animations would start getting oddball the more I did em. I get bored of repetitive actions really fast, so it was inevitable shit was going to get weird! Big thanks as always for the great review and I'll definitely work on making things match up more between the audio and visuals for the next animation!
(Talking about a crazy ex next XD)

All the best,
Graham

[Universal Donor]

Beautiful storytelling. Without words. With such a simple but creative new concent. That 'gift' could be portrayed in so many ways, but you managed to make it something new entirely. Nicely done.

Zombie-Pimp responds:

Thanks! Glad you appreciate the storytelling

[Trees Freestylin']

The roots really run deep with this one! Seemed like a random bit of fun at first, but the topic on humans and nature, the misdefinition of freestyles, the ambiguous righteousness of white lies, the twist from comedy to tragedy to... just a tree standing beside a pile of ash. It goes deep!! Dope lyrics too.

-cd-

YinMammoth responds:

Thanks haha, I'm not sure if the roots pun was intended but nice lol - Appreciate the feedback man!

[Wumboman Vs. Purp3L]

Bit sketchy, but awesome. :) Any Kill La Kill reference with the scissors hmm? If so I wonder what the green spear's fetched from.

I like the comical tone to it, even if the end's a bit brutal for comedy! Good fight. Creative, fast-paced and varied.

-cd-

Awez responds:

The purple character isn't mine so you'd have to ask him ;^)

["BZz"]

Strange how that overly dramatic music went so well with that animation. :) Simple but effectual! Bit weird you can't really differentiate between the flies though, as car as gender goes, considering it's a romantic kind of short and all. Not that flies look all that different to the common eye, but with this kind of cartoon it'd seem like the common approach to maybe add some eyelashes to one, or differentiate between them by color, or some of those other gender-based stereotypes we use for such purpose.

I liked the animation though! Quick, methodical, with a clear protagonist and flare for drama.

LUCA-FATTORE responds:

Thanks a lot for the creative input.
You have a good point, the girl should be more recognizable.
I have planned another short with this concept and I will definitely redesign her.
