IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shark Repellent]

The joke is old, but actually seeing what happens without it was a nice new twist!

[A Kingly Melody]

Good art and animation. Good Clockiness. Loved the way the music timed with the action. Not sure what exactly was going on- whether we were supposed to somehow know why Orange is being treated in this way.

Animation- its good, the next step is to make the characters squash out slightly as they hit the ground.
Art- I assume those were a group of Turdclocks, though the picture is not clear, perhaps a little shading would help make their shape clearer.

Pingu responds:

Since all authors can reply now, I can do so in MetalDart's absence. I agree that squishiness is important, but remember that StrawberryClock is a fair but firm ruler. So firm that his subjects walk delicately, so as not to squish. Thanks a lot for stopping by!

[Cupid is Stupid]

Sound, music, story, art, animation, inc basic lip sync, humour, message, credits.
Yep, its all there. Am entertained for a little while. That is what we come here for. Thanks :)

[Life Observations: Finding a Date]

Oh Jeez, I thought it was just ME !

Yeah, I like this; I can totally relate. The art and animation is fit for purpose; the music and words were clear and appropriate. The storyline was well thought out and well expressed. The timing, in terms of Valentine's day is spot on and its all good.

Of course you love me as a friend- they all flaming well love me as a friend. All the damn women always "love me as a brother" Argh !

[Animation VS. Animator 3 [DON'T MIND THE THUMBNAIL AND READ DESC]]

It is good. It is a good tribute, with all the sounds and actions we expect. Not a great deal of originality, but I DID enjoy the moment when the gun misses !

I replayed because I didn't understand it all. TBH I still don't, but maybe that's just old me doesn't get all the references. I assume his bum burnt because of the Firefox, if so, he really needed to be closer. If the letters in the final scene were changed into something I was supposed to understand, I didn't.

Don't use silly thumbnails and apologise- you are too good for that, use a good one.

NEVER ask for a five.

Utrilixz responds:

I'll try

[X Stick Man (Closed Movie]

OK, it ticks the basic boxes to get me to Protect it:

animation present and so-so. The walking is odd, but better than nothing.

It had sound/music, which was lovely and appropriate, although it was clipped short, which was sad, it should have had a fadeout if you wanted to shorten it
It also has a credit in it for the music, which was nice.

Finally although it is a replacement for another movie, at least one could say that it had a point to it, unlike many movies.

3.12/5 - 10 K views ? That's just because you are the X, its not that good !

[Madness Russian Collab 2]

I'm not that into Madness, but I see that this follows the ideas well, as far as it goes. It is mostly very repetative by now, so only the Russian touches that Grabel168 give any creative interest here, I liked the touch of his character walking right through someone else's piece of story.

I would much prefer it if the collab actually told a story and so would many others.

[The Fight]

It is generally good- the art is OK, but the animation is generally good enough. There is a sort of story, and it all works. The sound is very good and the music is fitting.

The next step up would be to improve the animation and study the body movements more. The walking is not right, it is like he is stepping in treacle, the knees bend too much. Study some videos on walking. Also the katana man's face would be out of range to be punched and it looks odd when you see it.

missstic responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback and the advice, I really apreciate it. I will definitely follow your advice and try to improve a lot.

[Alone (Experimental Animation)]

Argh. You have no idea how frustrating it is when people use the Portal to dump your tiny, pointless "test/clip" submissions. I constructively advise you to come back with something entertaining/interesting with a bit of sound, length and meaning, then we will give you a proper review.
