FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the YuYu]

Still going strong

Initially, I was a little disappointed in this. I watched this movie once and thought it was a little pointless. However, after reading the description to this, it shone new light on my opinion of this movie. I would have liked to see the sequel to littlefoot here, but I guess this is just as well. As always, the graphics are phenomenal, perhaps the best I have ever seen. The animations were very smooth and very clear, and I liked how at some parts they were synced well with the music. The music was an excellent tune and I'm glad you made a video out of it. Your work is truely amazing and you do a great service to NG every time you submit a movie, no different with this one.

I don't like it

^^Good Points^^
This is a pretty funny idea...it never occured to me that these two could be compared in appearance and with a slight manipulation, look exactly the same. I always gotta laugh when I hear that song.

^^Needs Improving^^
This doesn't really seem like it should be considered a movie. The bulk and point of this submission was just a picture with some background music. Meaning, not a whole lot of effort or talent put into this submission.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

They look the same because they are the exact same person.

Lack of effort? Hey now, I spent a whole 10 seconds making this Flash!

[Enter Carrot Clock]

Stale

^^Good Points^^
I really liked the way you did your voice overs for all of the characters instead of using Speakonia, the tone for SBC was very comical.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is a pretty prosaic movie. The graphics are limited to a few simple clock drawings...no backgrounds or any real drawing. The animations are sparing and lame and the storyline is very boring and not particularly funny.

[The Minataur]

An interesting movie

^^Good Points^^
The graphics are both good and bad in this. The drawings were pretty cool, looks like you didn't draw them in Flash though, looks like it was done with pencil and paper. The music was good and I always like fantasy storylines so I'm a little partial to this.

^^Needs Improving^^
The animations in this were the bad parts of the graphics. When the boy moves to the minotaur, no part of him moves, which just looks plain stupid. The storyline is a little lacking though. Nothing really happens and I have no idea why anything in this movie did happen. It's also spelled "minotaur" not "minataur" :D

[barbequebeefburger XVI]

Another...

^^Good Points^^
I like the graphical style in this. I like the staticy effect you added and how you made the corners look rounded, this is pretty cool. The sound was also nice, I can not get enough of that song. Plus the fact that you have Master Chief is pretty cool.

^^Needs Improving^^
This series is becoming just a waste. It's exactly the same except for whoever is crappily moved around the screen. Not even the backgrounds change. This is just like spam. It's annoying and useless.

Bbqbeefburgerman responds:

Spam?

OH NO

[Zoloft Returns]

What just happened?

^^Good Points^^
I'm impressed with the graphics. The white noise clip in the beginning is very cool looking...not sure how you would do that in flash, but it looks cool. The drawings were good and the spinny thing at the end was cool looking as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I watched this three times...does the guy say "would you like to pet my goat?" I'm not sure, but either way this is pretty pointless. It's too short, hard to hear and has no storyline whatsoever. I will say that with this return flash, I'm not happy to see you back.

[Dr Pepper!]

Dr. Pepper is the best

^^Good Points^^
Dr. Pepper is the best tasting soda that was ever concieved. A flash movie commemorating this great soda is something I will like. The song was pretty cool and the lip syncing was pretty accurate. I liked the background as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really like how you drew the people, it was too simplistic and looked like you didn't spend much time on this one. I'm not sure how long the song actually is, but it sounds like it was just starting to get more exciting.

PikeHead responds:

This was meant to be my first proper animation but i got bored of it, i picked it up at a later date even so i didn't spend much time working on it overall. I still used the same images but just added things at the end. I'm glad you liked the lip syncing, i was a bit worried because i've never done it before.

[Ed the Unhappy Papaya Ep1]

Good start

^^Good Points^^
The theme music is pretty catchy, which is why I originally voted to pass this through the portal. The storyline was a little cute.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics are a little weird. The animations seemed to happen too slowly. The drawings were also a little lacking in detail. The voice overs were very low and were hard to hear. This was a little short too.

[World's strangest flash]

Absolutely.

^^Good Points^^
The only part I liked was the weird throw up monster or whatever the hell that thing was. It reminded me of Breath of Fire.

^^Needs Improving^^
Yeah, your advice is right, one shouldn't make movies while they are high, because this was pretty lame. It didn't make a whole lot of sense, the sounds were just annoying, and most of it was just these flashy things flying around the screen. Not quite my style.

[Grandma Rockingchair]

Eww...

^^Good Points^^
The drawings were good and the way you blurred stuff to give a real life effect to this was pretty cool. The sound effect was also right on cue, and went along with the erie mood here.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is pretty weird and kind of scary looking. There really isn't a storyline and it's just a short loop, which isn't a whole lot. This is boring and kind of creepy.
