FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Just]

K

^^Good Points^^
I liked the song you chose to make a video for. It had good lyrics and you animated to them pretty well. I liked the overall happy feeling from this movie that I got. Sometimes the animations were pretty clever, like the spinning earth part of this to simulate the days going by. Overall, a good music video.

^^Needs Improving^^
The drawings are the weak part in this. You don't use a lot of shading or gradients, so the drawings and coloring just look a little ameture. The animations could in turn use some improving, as they are all very simple animations.

Timsplosion responds:

Glad that overall you enjoyed it. I'm gonna try to improve over coming flash. Thanks for the advice, and thx for the review. :)

[Peacocks like chicken.]

^^Good Points^^
I am only viewing/reviewing this because you mentioned sunshine crew in this, which was always a neat little thing. A cool tribute to that crew; I like how you made this, with the picture of that japanese boy as the sun, and the city-scape. Not a bad introduction to this either, well made.

^^Needs Improving^^
It wasn't quite sunshine. You needed some kind of message in this during the sunshine part of this. It's a little empty as it is.

Magyar responds:

I like to think as myself as one of those people who see the glass half full.

[Hylight Dance Off]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ahh, it's really boring to see all of these conflict movies between bowser and Mario, but you did something special with this one. A Dance-off, which is completely original. I thought you had great animations in this. The dance moves were pretty cool, and you manipulated the sprites very well. The music choices were all good dance songs, and I really thought this was a pretty special movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
No really clear ending to this movie. You basically just had the players dance off, and then that was it. Something should definitely be added to the end of this to give it a more definite ending. Perhaps something like VGDC used to do with a "pick your own winner" type ending.

Hmmm... I like the 'pick your own winner' thing, but I think it's way overused. Anyway, thanks for the review and the compliments.

[WOS Day 2006]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ahh, the WOS, a group that has pleased me ever since it came out, and now the special yearly anniversary of that group, with lots of fun movies to review. I really look forward to it! This movie, made my Arskagarf is the first I'm watching, and it was pretty entertaining, though that doesn't surprise me one bit. The graphics were great, lots of complicated shading and very smooth animations. It was neat how this movie started out very slow like the music, then towards the end got a lot more interesting, having a lot more action in it. A very good way to start out the holiday.

^^Needs Improving^^
Of course, parts of this could have improved. Mainly the part when the buildings start exploding, which had the same animations over and over again. It would have been nice if they had changed a little bit.

Arskagarf responds:

I blame the infadels.

[A Newgrounds X-mas Story]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad movie at all. The idea is unique, not like most of the Christmas movies made recently. I liked the idea of the SWF being the main character and doing his thing. The music was good throughout too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Music quality was good, but I would suggest fading out one song and fading into the next, just to make things go a little bit smoother. Also, this movie lacking sound effects was very lame. You should have added some more to this in the sound effects. Also, try to work on your animations, they seemed to be very elementary.

Dash-02 responds:

I totally agree with you on fading out the music the problem is that I dont know how to so I just stop it but it would be better like you said.

[Declaration of Revocation]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was pretty funny, even though the jokes aren't yours, I still had some fun watching it and reading everything. The text seemed to go at a good pace in most spots, and the music was a nice addition to this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
Yeah, you really did focus on the jokes instead of doing any animating, which is what Flash is all about. Work on some animating skills and make a real movie. This was just text that you took at put to some google images!

Sidorio responds:

Actually some jokes are mine, that's why it says improvised by Sidorio in the opening bit.

[Angry Faic Christmas]

K

^^Good Points^^
Graphically this movie was pretty impressive. The animating was the best part. Most noticeably in the fire and the snoring of Angry Face. I thought the animations were very well done. The music and sound effects were well placed too, and the storyline wasn't too bad.

^^Needs Improving^^
I was expecting a movie with Angry Face to be a little more interesting. This was very short and it wasn't very funny. Angry didn't seem to be as angry as he usually seems to be, which disappointed me.

ToonCastleTV responds:

It was Christmas, even angry faic gets happy around then!

I made this in 3 days so...
