Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Boxing Day!]

Move like a bird, sting like a... buffalo/bison/beast of similar caliber? :P

This was great. Wonderfully wacky style and friendly ending, and if this was all manually painted then soo much work put into it too. Just sometimes feel like the pace is maybe a little unnecessarily slow. Some scenes take their time on expressions, and pans, and motions that don't always seem to do or imply anything. Even if there's no tension, or build, or any really perceptible emotion/reason to stay in the moment. Like maybe it's more so because the art is so thorough it needs time to breath. That's the only thing I feel could be a bit more polished.

Awesome work overall; Happy Boxing Day!

It was in fact manual painted! Lots of Gouache. Thanks for the great review!

[The Last Mother - 2D Animated Student Film HKU 2020]

This was incredible. So captivating. So polished. So fluent and full of fire and life, the colors carrying the scenes, moving from one element to the next, from flower to animal, the world we somewhat know yet all the more alive and vibrant... an ode to Mother Nature? The tree of life? To Earth and science and all intertwined? Feels essential somehow. Ancient. Like the foundation for everything. And beautiful. Amazing work.

GVlash responds:

Wow, incredibly well worded. Thank you ! ♡

[Merry Christmas]

This might explain why some peeps aren't getting no presents this year. :P

Hopefully Santa has some magical reincarnation/resurrection/revival powers too though, cause you know... he's Santa!

Nice one. Merry Christmas!

AlCoolStudios responds:

Don't you worry, there's a part two on the way! 😉

[500 SUB SPECIAL!]

Gotta love Esmera's (hope I'm spelling that right) personality/reactions to everything here. XD Great addition. And props on adding in an NG exclusive at the end! Thought for a moment the outro was just incredibly long. Very awesome of you. Deserves a five. Congrats on the fans too!

2021 will most definitely be the year!!!

destructin responds:

Close, it's Esmer. Thanks!

[Merry Christmas from Tacoliquor!]

Mandy looking good! :) Simple but merry indeed! Merry Christmas!

tacoliquor responds:

Thank you kindly yo, it's appreciated. Hope the holidays treated you well!

[It's Christmas Again...]

Voice acting's straight up majestic here. :) Especially the narration! And the trippy intro, the clock, panning around the room, horror movie on Christmas vibes turned into joyous miracle merriment and uplifting choir! That was quite the trip!

Only wish we'd had more a glimpse of the characters living on than just those photos along the wall - possibly a shortcut in animation? :P

Well done though! Definitely one of those Christmas animations I didn't know I needed to see but am happy I did. Different in an appreciatively crazy kind of way but all but festive at the end!

And in a way it's like that grave pays homage to these times, and the year now passed.

Time to greet the New and have a blast.

Kolumbo responds:

Thanks for the review! Always love reading your takes.

And yes, the ending and the >>>closeup<<< scenes suffered because of time limits, as I said - I'm dumb and can't start things on time

Glad to see you enjoyed it, and I especially love the take on the grave - poetic.

[No Signal - Christmas Crash |Ep. 3|]

Nothing like falling off a motorbike under the magical miracle Merry Christmas moon...

Felt like a series of outtakes from something bigger the way it was all but together but: good fun all the way! Merry Christmas y'all, and may 2021 be even if possible even better than this one!!! Looking forward to more of yer madness then.

-cd-

FlowJoe responds:

You're pretty much on the nose about the series of outtakes! This episode's audio was comprised of outtakes and unused dialogue from the first episode and audio from a scrapped episode.

[Link Animated Loop]

Breaking the fourth wall with this one hmm... looks good, though some kind of sound to it would've been cool!

-cd-

cayiika responds:

Agreed! This was just a commission for a streamer however, so whatever audio they put on it is up to them. Does feel like a bit of a shame to just have it posted like this.

[To Catch a Pac-Man]

Well that was nice. :) Was expecting some kind of brutal or more NSFW twist somewhere, some kind of grand vengeance, something that broke the fourth wall, maybe Pac-Man and the pink ghost got it on, or maybe he'd share that apple with the orange one; they'd all become friends... who knows...

In the end it was refreshingly direct! And even less predictable because of it. Just thoroughly fun to follow.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

I am glad you enjoyed : D

Whats kinda funny is I was worrying through out the production of this if I was being to cliche with some beats, so I am very happy to hear that it felt fresh ^u^

[My cat sleeps anywhere (Matisode)]

For a while I thought his bedroom was a microwave there. XD Seemed like a possibly unsuitable place to sleep now...

Graphics may be a bit simple but this wasn't bad! Soothing music, smooth transitions, slice of life-like but uplifting too... gets you in a good mood when it's over.

Matias-YT responds:

lol!
