pthouse's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bob and the Apple]

Pretty good.

The humor reminded me of the old Adult Swim cartoon "Home Movies" which I always loved. So good job with that. The animation worked well for the mood as well. All in all, I enjoyed it a lot.

[TouchDwnTurnAround Collab]

Very awesome.

The majority of that animation was good, although some of it wasn't using the pixel tool which isn't too much of a problem for me, other than it doesn't fit with the title of this collaboration. Also... I'm glad to see rtil animate again!

[Collin & The Wishing Tree]

Very funny

Hilarious! I thought that ending made the whole video.

[How 2 Succeed on NG pt.2]

I have to be honest with you...

I completely agree with you, and I'm one of the animators of Bowser's Kingdom! I understand where you're coming from though, and would much prefer seeing awesome animations like the Brackenwood series, for example, than parodies... and there is an overwhelming amount of parodies on Newgrounds. There are also a great many animations that hardly break through the 4/5 points range and some don't make it past the 3/5 range and they are really good cartoons, and games, and deserve way more credit than they got. Originality is a hard thing to come by these days, because everything has been done, and it almost seems as though the only way to be original is to be artsy which understandably you also mocked, because every artsy video has the same basic gist and vibe to it. Perhaps more people will watch this video and veer away from making their own parody, and try their hand at original stories, characters, and styles, but at the same time, like the Naked Gun movies are just fantastic, some parodies on NG are as well.

[Link's Prize]

Very nice!

Fantastic animation. Some of it looks almost like it was rotoscoped maybe, but it seems really smooth for even that. Great job!

[NiN10Doh!]

Enjoyable.

I think a lot of people writing reviews for this aren't taking into account the animation part and just focusing on the jokes and humor. I think the animation was very well done, and a lot of time must have been put into it. For the most part there were almost no re-used symbols except for the pokemon and kirby clips, but it worked for those. As a fbf animator I can very much appreciate the animation, as a Bowser's Kingdom animator I can appreciate the humor.

[Elevator Action++]

Awesome animation!

I never played the game but the video you made for it was terrific. I was watching this without having read your comments so I didn't know it was based on a game, and the music and sound effects really made me think it was about an old school game; and it turns out it was so you obviously pulled it off well. Keep them coming man, I miss the CCC world!

[Blood Type]

Well played.

I like the style but I'd like to see it animated rather than be like a storyboard. However, it does work in this case because it's more like a comic this way. All in all, nice job.

[Surface EP 2 (Part 1/ 2)]

Nicely done.

I never saw the first episode, so this was new to me, and at the beginning of this episode I was thinking it was a little corny or cliche or something, but towards the end you hooked me in and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
