squeakytoad's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gift of Ages]

That was incredible.

Congrats.
You truly displayed the reason for the season.
It's awesome to see this stuff on Newgrounds.
You're really up there on my respected animators list even more now, man.
Everything about this was superb and moving.

[Turkeys]

It was clean and polished animation. I enjoyed it.
A short and simple cartoon, and a good one.

RWappin responds:

Thanks, toady man!

[Mario and The Lost Coin]

You guys did great. It was excellent.
One of those nice little things you watch during your break.
Excellently parodied Mario.
Usually, I'm very much against the usage of sprites in flash movies. However, in this case, it wasn't just some animators wanting to get out of having to do real work- it was part of the whole effect.
Great job.

CIA responds:

ahha thanks. This means good coming from someone as good as you.

[Demise of a Match]

I like. I like way much.

Of all your shorts, this is definitely one of the best.
I love how you implemented tons of classic cartoon techniques.
And the ending was one of those rare moments where I found something so oddly funny that I laughed out loud at my computer screen.
Great work.

heehee

[Portal of the Damned]

This is good stuff.

It really is.
Not the smoothest or shiniest stuff around, but a great balance of nice art, animation, and effects.
You always bring something to the table that's not exactly fresh, but tastes good anyways.
Great work, Luis.

And somehow I knew you'd wait til the day after Halloween (when all the other top animators would most likely be submitting theirs) to get yours in.
Nothing wrong with that though. I'd probably rather have a Daily Feature than Third or Fourth as well.

[MMO :: Pilot Episode]

You've got potential.

You've certainly got potential. You can make a nice-looking landscape and your still art is above average.
However, throughout the movie you take the cheap way out in a lot of areas, making your drawings look mediocre. I would recommend spending more time on them.
However, your area that needs most improvement. The animation was incredibly glitchy. Each movement nearly made me wince. I can tell from some parts of the movie that you can do better. I think, once again, you just need to spend more time and practice harder.
Your voices are also lacking. Just extend an invitation to voice actors to take part. In fact, I'd gladly extend my services.
I'm sorry to have to give you a '3', but I really feel that's all this deserves. While it may be impressive in some areas, it's lacking so much in others that it makes it almost unbearable to watch.
Work on the animation, fix the glitchiness and areas with hasty art, and get better voices. After which I think your movies will improve a world in quality.
If you had a tight deadline, I can understand. I myself have had to deal with short time periods. However, don't try to complete someting of this massive proportions in short time periods. Settle for a simpler art style, and a simpler animation type.
I hope to see more from you in the future. You've got great potential.
And I hope this review helps.

Kahze responds:

Yup definetley gotta throw in more inbetweens. Thanks for watchin!

Brilliant.

I absolutely loved it.
Everything from the cardboard ninja, the stalking water cooler, and countless moments that had me off my chair.
After I saw this I went and read every comic. I am now a fan.
I love this stuff.
