El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Francine and the Juicebox]

hahahah

what a childish and abusive boss, reminds me of a couple of bosses I've had.Nice drawings and voicework, the facial expression on the woman cracked me up, that and when he was hoing the head halfway in his shirt thing since he seemed like such a child. nice animation on the lipsynch as well.

[Pop-Soda ep. -0]

cool

Nice episode, but the remake does sound like a good idea, just make sure that when you do it, you change it enough for people to really notice, because slight changes only are a sure recipe for disaster. tiny voice "disaster" but on a more serious note, nice flash so far here, the story seems like it will be very funny and interesting, and the little flying thing adds a good element of humor, due to it's sharply contrasting nature with the main characer. I enjoyed watching it and look forward to both your proposed remake and the continuation of the series, best of luck.

TacoRemix responds:

I plan on making the animations tons smoother with shading and.. well, pretty much starting the whole thing from scratch. appreciate the comments!

[Jungle Boogie Baby]

Nice

Cute, character design, the green shit on him was gross, but fairly realistic for a baby I suppose, the Drawings were good and the animation was well done and amusing, and the movements were well timed, and smoothly done. The main thing though is the facial expressions here, especially those of the unamused father, which had me cracking a pretty big grin, nicely done man.

[RFOD P3]

hmmm

On one hand, the opening gag was vey good, and I thought it was one of the best in this series, on the otherhand though it was very short overall. I enjoyed it nonetheless and think that although these three are only your first pieces, that your work shows a lot of promise, you've used various animation techniques, and did a good job of adding music and sound for your stuff so far, and I really look forward to seeing what else you come up with and your progression as a flash artist since you have such skill so early on in your flashes, Best of luck in future animations, and let me know when new stuff comes out., Later Dan

[The Rainbow Serpent]

Cool

I had heard this story before, but it was really cool seeing it. I was impressed by the cool vividly moving sketchy style you used here and also by how much this differed from your other piece, the seed jar, which I also enjoyed a lot, which lets me know that you have a diverse artistic skill and a good range of styles, the digeridoo music was very fitting and formed a nice backdrop for the piece, and although, I am going to check out your other stuff also, I think it's safe to day you've earned a spot on my favorite artists list.

[Don't Push That Button!]

heh nice

I know some people, possibly including you the author, will question why I gave this a fulll ten, which is something I rarely do, but I have a soft spot for old fashioned style animation and film, and this really just hit that spot. Drawings and animation were nice. Good cute old fashioned character design, but still has a somewhat modernised feel to him, the do not push the button sign should have been in mor emodern text though, there was also a point where some text was on the screen, but passed to quickly to be read, I don;t know if this was intentional on your part or not but it actually had a good effect, because it reminded me of the nature of relly old cartoons which often had certain flaws or bugs that kind of gave them character in a way. Also, Nice work on the overall special effects for the film, the scrath lines along the film and the genereal fuzz looked good, and the music was well chosen, looking forward to seeing more cool animations from you.

PS. In your author's comments you say you will make more of these, how soon might they be released?

either way, PM me when you do.

MrMeeky responds:

Thank you for the kind words! All your points are very relevant, but quite a lot of the flaws are definitely intentional. There's also the fact that this looks more like it's set in the 50s and I'm not an expert of films from that era, but I know enough to know that silent films were long passed by then.

I'm hoping to produce many more of these, so I'll keep you updated!

Thanks again.

[The Bloodlust(Preview)]

ummm

A preview is pointless if you never make the final product but on top of that it has no sound, it's all just quickly animated stick figures, and all that was shown here was three short shots less than a second each, to be honest maybe it's for the best this never came to fruition.

[SHOCK]

ehhhh

Gary Larson comics are fine, but there is no need to animate them, because for one it was really short, and for two although the drawings were alright, the animation was not that great, also Larson's sense of humor is either lost on a lot of people or just not considered funny by some, I llike it, but it just isn't worth animating.

[ColdRevenge2(FIXED)]

Nice

Good sense of action here and pretty good animation as well, you did a job job in using action movie style camera angles, and the grenade thing was just plain fucking awesome. Good job all in all, and it definitely left me wanting more.

[Unibomber (6 minute epic)]

"before I was a badass I was a doctor"

Very funny flash man, it was a bit crazy and random, nut that worked to it's advantage I think. I thought it was funny how Michael jackson had to moonwalk everywhere, and you could tell you put wuite a bit of effort into creating this story. well made all in all.
