VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Plungerdog - Episode 4: L]

Sure took a while for another episode, but that's okay. I found the audio levels were kinda up and down in spots, maybe normalizing the volume for the whole thing would've helped... it all sounds clean and clear otherwise.

Liked the wheelie bin gravity bong, didn't care for the overly long outtro.

Jae responds:

Thanks for the review man! All of these are very very valid points! Expect next episode's audio to be way better and there won't be any extra blank outros :)

[NG's 20th Anni. Tribute]

I thought the intro graphics and text ran a bit long, possibly could've been more text during the segments, to denote relevant facts about the contributors on-screen, facts about the site and/or what was being talked about. (Thanks for leaving my bit in, about the FBI in the mid-to-late 90's, it's stuff like that you never read on Wikipedia.)

This is an excellent tribute. How better to honor a place, than with the voices of the people who go there?

[Sprakle #2 - Happy]

Short, kind of a one trick pony, not a whole scene, but kids seem to retain little lessons like this. It's just a shame it wasn't more of a theme or a series of examples, to drive home the moral/life lesson in question.

Aside from that, and the sparse backgrounds, this is a good little thing, another feather in your cap!

Timsplosion responds:

What life lesson? He just set the kids on fire. :/

And he's not just a one trick pony - he can kick real hard too, if you watched the first one.

[Kangaroo Transit]

5 stars for cramming a full feature movie, into a few minutes of on screen action! Really glad this got a daily award, the author's previous works are just as impressive.

KFoxyFox responds:

Yes, I am delighted to get another top 5 trophy :)

[Creation]

The ending was a bit puzzling, why were the child and teddy out of focus at the end, were they beyond the view of adults? Although sort of minimalist, the models, moves and sounds were all quite attractive. Animation was smooth, I liked the overall feel and subtext, the transition from big paint lines to a finely drawn teddy bear was a bit awkward.

Overall this is an excellent first submission, with great intentions and results. In the future, do what you can to convey visual and expositional context to your tales. Or you could check out the writer's forum here, shop for a story to animate.

BitterBrushAnimation responds:

all notated. i will try to convey visual and ex-positional context better in the future. ^.^ i will check out the writers forum but more for advice rather then story's to animated. if I am animating someone else s tale i imagine i wont feel the animation is mine anymore (that doesn't really make sense does it? >.>). but who knows maybe somewhere down the line i might. Thank you so much for you feedback! ^.^

[Deathly Swallows Scene 8]

I'm very glad this addresses some very old plotlines that have been eating away at me O_o When this whole thing started, the quest for the VHS tapes seemed like the bigger epic... and finally, another puzzle is about to be unraveled!

3rabbitsproductions responds:

There are 3 whore-cunts that Kevin Bacon put pieces of his soul in...or are there 4????

DUN DUN DUNNNNN

[Deathly Swallows Scene 7]

Another great slice of an even greater epic. Just wondering if that's Iron Lung flicking the zippo, guess we'll find out... next time!

I've really enjoyed all of the Hero School saga, kinda sad to see the end is so near. Oh well, at least the best is to come!

3rabbitsproductions responds:

There Hero School Saga is only the first season and there are seven seasons, friend. Keep watching. You will laugh. You will cry. You might even think a bit too...

[Deathly Swallows Scene 6]

It's really a shame you can only export so much at a clip, it's certainly forced this epic into constant cliffhangers, which are a good thing!

3rabbitsproductions responds:

It was fate being kind to me :) It does create a bigger challenge, but Oceans Eleven said that every problem is a solution in disguise...lol.

[Rancid Donut]

Hm, I have a thing about not liking sticky cinnamon buns for different reasons. Any time when I worked in a public place, older ladies who smelled vaguely of mold, would ask me where they could get sticky cinnamon buns, with all the poise a junkie has when asking for a fix....

Nicely done piece, simple, but colorful and telling! Audio was perfect :)

funymony responds:

Aww, that sucks! Cinnamon buns are alright, but assosiating them with mold people would definitely make it hard to eat one ever again!

[United Scene 17]

Lots of story and good voice acting in this one.

3rabbitsproductions responds:

Thanks. buddy you know I always give you guys the best :)
