TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Swimming]

Haha, that was a fun little movie. I really like the style, it's super cool. The animation is a bit choppy, but I think it fits perfectly. It was looking pretty deep (geddit) and whimsical before that ending. Gotta say, it got me, though I'm not sure if this would have been better if it was more serious. I guess it's good this way. Keep it up!

Foxcato responds:

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did most of the animation on 3's because I felt it fit the mood. So I'm glad you thought it fit too. I was thinking of going super serious with it, but in the end, I found it more fun to go this route. I've got got more stuff planned, so I'll do my best to keep it up.

[Interface | Episode 12]

I really loved this episode. I feel like the series just keeps getting better and better. The way the music ramped up during the battle, it was so cool. Battle itself was really badass. The monologue by Greetings was really cool as well, shed some light on things, or l, at the very least, showed Greetings' point of view.
The animation was really great, loved the 3D stuff and the moment when Kami hit the cross. That was interesting imagery, by the way. Kami again being used to symbolize religion. I thought it was interesting that it immediately took the CE from the cross. Kami (collectivism) unites people, but also feeds off them. We already knew that though. I guess it's interesting that the individuals here feed in a more vulturey fashion, taking CE from the dead, whereas Kami uses the living. Collectivism needs its parts to be working, but individuals need others to fail for them to prosper? I'm just throwing thoughts out there. Also I thought it was brilliant how Kami used Ghost's hand.
Keep it up, man, and here's to season 2!

Thank you man! :)

[Link's Awakening Animation-Link and Marin]

Well, there's not really an ending and that's your biggest problem. The animation and art were very bare-bones, you could have at least had a real background. Keep practicing and keep in mind that you need a good ending to the story. Try putting in a bit more time, add a background, things like that. It feels a bit pointless to watch something with no background or ending.

Thank you I really appreciate feedback!!!^-^

[The Surgery]

That was...interesting. The whole atmosphere and artstyle are fairly unique and I like it. The music was nice too, but maybe a tad loud. I found it very hard to understand what the characters were saying because of their wacky accents combined with the music and everything. As for the humor, it was pretty nice, I think, but again, I didn't understand everything.
Keep it up for sure, man, but try to make the sound thing better next time.

[red vs green]

This should be a lot longer. You had some nice moves in there, even though the animation was slow and choppy. It looks like you've got potential. But, like I said, this was too short, it felt kinda underwhelming.

soire responds:

Thank you for your input. I will work on it this weekend and make it at-least a minute long. It is my first stick figure fight animation.

[I.T. Dog]

Well, certainly an interesting idea. The music was nice for what it was. However, the voice quality was not great, so things were kinda hard to understand and I think the music was too loud. The story had me a bit confused. I didn't realize they thought IT Dog was abandoning them. I think maybe you should have gone more with them being in awe and him kind of "ascending"
Overall felt a bit confusing, but it was a nice idea.

[Elementary School - "The Essay"]

Thus was great for 72 hours! I mean, the story is a common trope but it was well done. Actually rings pretty true, too. I loved the little details, like Nile going to YouTube and PornHub. The voice acting was fantastic and I really liked the writing, even though the characters sound a bit similar and I really liked that ending. The "mental resolve to not finishing it" is so realistic! One missed opportunity, I feel, was the fact you never said what the essay was about. Imagine if at some point during the night they realized they didn't even know what they were gonna write. Or maybe at the end. That could have been a really nice extra punchline. Either way, this was very enjoyable. Not too original, but well executed.
