squeakytoad's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Orange Rhymes]

Good heavens, Hans, leave some space for all us!

You're rapidly becoming amazing at this, and taking up all the room in the talent wagon.

Stop getting better before you leave all us behind.

This was excellent. A fantastic original cartoon short with a BEAUTIFUL style (submit this to Sundance and a ton of other film festivals- now).

Funny, amusing, and, most of all, pretty intelligent. I love the deeper themes here.

Also, I got a good chuckle out of the "NG Fanboy VG Version".

Keep up the good work and KEEP ANIMATING.

AlmightyHans responds:

thanks man, means a lot to me. but i don' think this is sundance material XD

yeah i wasn't going for the humor direction that you get reviews from the annoying little kids that tend to respond something along the lines of:

"OMFG THAT WUZ THE LOLZERS! MAKE MOAR!!!!!1!!!1!!8!!!!"

for that reason i directed them to the NG VG Fanboy version.

FInally, yes, i will keep up the work as much i can.

Well done.

Very classically animated. Loved the traditional style and story-telling. This brings back nostalgic memories of those cartoons I watched as a kid.
You did a great job.
Such a pity about the video resolution.
Hopefully you'll be able to make your future animations directly in flash.
I find it silly how Newgrounds favors some animations (giving them undeservingly high scores) simply because "Wow! You drew that by hand!?" but then ignores a lot of traditional stuff like this.
Haha, I think it's because you didn't make it obvious enough that each frame was done by hand.
You did a great job with the post-production. Nice coloring and it all fit well together. Very smooth.
Looking forward to more.
Keep animating, man!

The-AngelCrusher responds:

Thanks man. Yeh, noticed some abstract 2D animation got quite popular. Thing is abstract straight ahead animation does just build and build the amount of drawings you do, because the artist doesn't really time the animation properly, so you usually see things at a constant speed or spacing. Plus, its not really character animation, which is tricky, making a line grow or whatever is pretty basic.

Maybe its just because my hand isn't in shot, or that the film doesnt look like 2D animation, which is great from my point of view, means I made something like looks professional. Maybe I should have uploaded pencil tests to be popular ^_^

No hard feelings. Its a finished film that i am happy to send to companies and stick on my showreel. Cartoon Network wont hire you for animating a line after all now will they ;)

Picture quality sucks, but it was either this size and be blurry, or smaller and still be abit blurry. lol Hopefully my next film will render better...although it'll take longer cos of the length of it. I could just clean it up in flash though, who knows :)

A clown is a jolly man indeed.

Oh, that's fun, Mr Clown.

hi!

[Zanta Claws]

Nothing short of brilliant.

Not often I encounter an animation I actually feel like putting on my favorites list.
This is one of your best yet.
You did awesome on this one.
Anyway, I seriously enjoyed this cartoon and am quite envious of your ability to make so many quality cartoons.

Awesome work. Looking forward to more.

eddsworld responds:

Cheers Squeaky!

[Spooky Scary Skeletons]

Just so awesome.

You never fail to make great content.
Your style is just brilliant.
If you stopped animating, Newgrounds would die.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

and lo, I saw....a Pale Horse...and death rode with him.

[Commercials]

Brilliant.

Ah, man, not your best animation, but certainly some of your funniest material yet. I loved it. Great work.

My favorite was the dropped call one (can't remember at the moment which company does those). That one was brilliant.

TomaMoto also did an awesome job of the voices.

MetalDart responds:

Thanks a lot squeakytoad, it really means a lot.
It really does. <3
