Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Clown Time!]

Maaan you spelled my name wrong man! XD Love this though. Thought it was good with music only but with hybrid animation/real video footage mixed in... you take it to whole new levels. Contagious energy and subtitles for a sing along ride-like vibe! Love the visuals. Love the performance. Love the suit! I have that same red clown afro packed away in a box somewhere around here too! If all such afros don't happen to be red. Maybe they are?

Most of all I love how refreshingly unexpected this was. Live action. Need more of it. Good stuff. Now why isn't the score for this way higher...

And also how do you keep track of anything with so much on your desktop! :O Impressive.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

I spelled it wrong?!?! AAAAHHHHHHH D:>>>>>

[Cat and Kat]

Just love everything about this. :) The beginning had me thinking of Dr. Seuss, but as you move on it becomes more like a new take on a classic cartoon... thoroughly fun and refreshingly innocent! Such great sound/VA work too.

bakertoons responds:

Thanks for the kind words!

[A Voretastic Voyage]

Somehow the lore of vore doesn't seem all as appealing anymore. XD But what a masterfully narrated trip this was, disturbing but... certain moments...

linda-mota responds:

anal/cock vore will probably be the cream of the worst. people really get off on the full result of vore but what can you do. lmao

[A man on the fucking moon]

lmao, well that was fun. :) Tesla driving by in the background too...

I guess the assets aren't all original but it does entertain. Nice one.

Invader-wed responds:

Thank you!

[CRACKEGGS]

Can't wait for 2026!

This was pretty much all I dreamed it'd be, wild and crazy, varied styles, a pace that neither feels too fast nor too slow, though even with solid runtime it all passed by faster than expected, and neither egg really ever cracked all the way - doesn't seem like those drugs have as lasting consequences as you'd expect, and how did they get that money - cash the check on the way?

Feels like the essentials are all there. It starts great, has the obligatory crazy trip mixed in, slice of life like eggery but... abrupt end. Missing plot twist. Or potential cliffhanger. Or something about that money?

Good fun though, and maybe the plot could be polished a bit overtime, though maybe that it ends how it ends is part of the idea. I could get used to more of these...

Oh, Subtle FlowDownStream nod too btw, nice. :) Plenty of detail in all background text and imagery too.

Kolumbo responds:

Man, I'm glad you like it. Thank you!
As far as the ending goes, it was planned to be a series so that is why it's abrupt and cliffhangery.

[Cold Hands: Shout Into The Void]

Halloween's coming early this year!

This was really unexpectedly friendly and sensible all things considered, interesting mix of animation styles, good voicing and atmospheric background noise... not that long, but like a little greeting card from an unusual group of friends. Think @GoodL might enjoy this too. reminds me a little of the good ol' FlowDownStuff...

Nice work.

Foxcato responds:

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making this. I'm considering making a 2nd one some time.

[Trump Biden Debate]

What does this all meaaan! XD

Politics are gay? Debates are gay? One of the contenders is gay? The spokesperson is gay? All of the above? And wait are you implying there's anything negative about being gay? Or more so that it's awesome, just like the final explosion on which said (potential) slur is appended? Or an explosion of gay? Or explosions are gay...? O_o

This is some deep, controversial, unconventional, mind-blowing political satire right here, whatever it's all about... subtle ode to the earlier Free The Nipple campaign maybe...? Or maybe it's meant to mirror the nonsensicalness of the common political debate...?

I know I'm probably putting more meaning into this than there probably is, but that just makes it all the more awesome! Relevant debate-related awesomeness that pushes through both borders and expectations and entertains way more than the actual thing: Awesome.

If all politics were just a bit more like this...

ChutneyGlaze responds:

omg hahaha cybie!
bro how was your trip to your hometown you should tell me all about it!

[FULP AMONG US]

Seems like there's just no limit to the amount of content you can put out in a single year! :D This was great, gets me wondering about potential backstories but I assume there is none... also can't remember the last time I saw Wade make a cameo! Props.

Also that GIF is oddly addicting to follow. Patting, attempting to grab, scratching or eh... pleasuring the book? This could mean such a variety of different things. And is the hand the book hand or a totally unrelated hand...

RealRedbookClock responds:

pet the redbook

[Yume]

Swedish Funko Pop Sgt Johnson?! XD Wonder what the history is behind that guy, but I love it. Stands apart from the rest too, one grand cameo finale before it's all wiped clean.

The head getting sucked into the floor was really smoothly done, though on some parts it feels like the camera could really use something to hold it a bit more steady between shots, and some of the still sequences feel a bit long, maybe you could work on ambience even when things are still? Just moving the characters ever so slightly to give the impression they're still alive even though they don't move. Could loop just a few almost identical shots to give the impression.

Overall it really had a pretty moody/artsy vibe to it, and the roles of human and animal reversed... I like it. Makes you think a bit. Thanks for throwing in a part for me in this too!

BlackAnimation responds:

I want to thank you for helping me make a film and believing and being respectful . i also do agree with your opinion. thank you for being cool :)

[FRIKMIN]

Appreciate the pun but honestly the plot device otherwise seems to overshadow it a bit, both the one getting thrown at the monster, and the other one first hurting it, and then the bird coming out of nowhere... you're left wondering what this was really all about after all. What happen.

Assuming people who know the game might not be distracted by those seemingly random occurrences as much though; they may not be all that random after all...

-cd-

artistunknown responds:

It's definitely something made where the jokes make more sense if you've played Pikmin, which isn't necessarily the best thing to do always, but I try to make it funny in other ways too, like just wtih facial expressions, and sound effects, and wacky animation.

As for an explanation: in the game, Purple Pikmin are super heavy, and can one hit kill big enemies if hit right, so while the other Pikmin are cowering in fear, he decides to throw his body weight onto the bulborb (big frog thing), but instead of just landing on him and squishing him or whatever, I thought it would be funny for him to shatter his fucking knee.

And then white Pikmin are smaller and lighter than the other Pikmin, but they're also poisonous (this is the biggest detail that isn't immediately apparent I guess), so when the red Pikmin saw that the bulborb was still alive, he through the white Pikmin at him, hoping he would eat it and die of poison, not realizing he was in too much pain to even notice.

And finally, the random bird is a snagret, an enemy that will seemingly randomly pop out of the ground (it's not actually random, but if you don't know where they are in the game, it can seem like it) and of course, it ate the white pikmin, which is poisonous, so it died of poison. That bit probably was more random than anything, but it was also an idea I came up with on the spot, after storyboarding the rest of the cartoon, 'cause I wasn't satisfied with it ending with the white pikmin screaming "you frickin frick!!!!!". I used to hate random humor, but the ending is my favorite bit so I guess I like it now??? though it's mostly because the shot is framed nicely and it was fun to animate.
