FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dailytoon #230]

K

^^Good Points^^
It's really a shame that we can't have the quality that is shown in these "best of" movies every day. This one, unlike most of the daily submissions was actually pretty entertaining. My favorite part was Aerdails part. It had lots of good animations and drawings and it was also funny to see Pokemon in suits. The other good parts were Starberry's and rtil's parts.

^^Needs Improving^^
Some parts of this were just too long and too boring for me to watch, which is why I've said time and time again to make a menu button during each movie. That would really be quite useful for people like me who get bored with this stuff.

TheStarSyndicate responds:

there are actually toons like this very frequently, but no one seems to notice. the NG audience pisses me off sometimes. they give respect to that god awful hitler series while never paying any respect to the series that actually have decent amounts of work put into them.

[Chasing Pigeons]

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were well done. You drew the background out pretty nicely and I also like the character designs. Taking the words from the previous reviewer "I liked the potato man!". I thought the voice overs were pretty well done, and this was pretty humorous and entertaining. I wasn't expecting that ending.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, this is kind of short. Try making a longer movie I think you would do a good job.

Psybola responds:

Thanks for the wonderful critique! My next short will definitely be longer. Thanks again for your comments!

[OrangeClock-Go-Round]

^^Good Points^^
The music was pretty cool. I also think this isn't a bad idea to have a clock movie like this...with a regular video clip edited.

^^Needs Improving^^
It would have been an even better idea had this actually been a movie with a storyline and length to it. All you did was move an orage around a plate. You should definitely try something longer with a bit more storyline. It also doesn't really make sense how you animated him either. His face just disappears in one part.

PatriotClock responds:

why does everyone do

The Good

The Bad

now? Is that the hip thing to do?

[Character Motion Tutorial]

K

^^Good Points^^
The thing I liked most about this is how you wrote in a very easy to understand manner and a very casual manner as well, and still gave lots of information...good information at that. I also liked how you started out with making something look crappy, then making it progressively better. The music was very calming and a nice tune. Good job on this tutorial...it is quite useful!

^^Needs Improving^^
I think you should have divided this into section so that one can go directly to jumping or any other section if they want to.

Catjuggler responds:

Thank you for giving me tips! I always enjoy thoughtful and helpful reviews, wether they say my work is good or bad.

[Phoenix Wrong Rides Again]

K

^^Good Points^^
Very nice sprite manipulation in this movie. Lots of the scenes were quite humorous and were pretty original and fun to watch. I honestly am likeing this stuff that you are putting out. It's quick, funny, and looks nice too. Nice job.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think you should make some longer ones with more scenes instead of just making new submissions, but whatever.

AshfordPride responds:

The next one will be MUCH longer. These last too ones were me just tinkering around with flash in my spare time. I wanted to see if people would like the idea before commiting to a longer version.

[The Gameboy's Story]

K

^^Good Points^^
I really don't see how this got turd of the week. It must have been a pretty good week for this to get turd! The storyline was pretty funny and quite random, but I had a good laugh watching this movie. The music was a groovy tune, and nice job making this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, the graphics are the weakest point in this movie. You didn't animated a whole lot, and sometimes the drawings remained in parts. Towards the end there is green from the joint on the gameboy, which makes this look a little rushed.

Fabulousfaice responds:

Wow, thank you for an actual constructive review! I've been thinking of making the second episode on this one, with another random storyline, and by the way: That ending was rushed :( I was just trying to get it done and get it into the flash portal, you know? I should spend more time, I know.

Thank you for, most importantly, not being a dick :D Much <3, man.
