Twisted4000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cornelius & Toots: Case 1]

Hey look, a video that has above a 4.2 score and actually deserves it!

Art and animation were both very sleek and clean. Voicing was pretty good, I like their accents. Coloring is extremely nice, it's very vibrant and fluorescent. All the dialogue is well-written as well.

What I didn't like though... how slow they move around. It's very very smooth, but sometimes I think it's just little TOO smooth when they run, it just looked like they were going at a walking pace but their arms and legs were making running-like motions. Also the lip-syncing, it's okay, but their mouths tend to move allover their face at some parts, and the transition between different mouth movements is, again, rather slow.

Also, I wasn't the absolute HUGEST fan of the drawing style. It was clean and sleek, like the animation, but some characters, particularly Cornelius looked extremely flat and his ear sorta seemed out of place. Perhaps this was all intentional, but regardless, I didn't LOVE it. Other characters looked okay, though.

This whole thing as a very interesting, fun concept and overall I really enjoyed it. Very nice effects throughout the whole thing as well, this is close to professional. Just work on some certain motions and physics of it a little more, and I think it'll be perfect.

[Kid Sickofthis]

Well I expected a lot more to happen. All-in-all I generally liked the animation, it was executed nicely. I liked the frame-by-frame parts, not so much the tweens, however I can say that the tweens were done well, for what they were, anyway. Voice acting was really good, probably close to phenomenal.

The problem was, there wasn't enough content in it. It was too short. Plus I didn't really find it funny in the slightest. Good execution, though.

Wonchop responds:

I don't understand why so many people have issues with how short it is. My general feel is, if you're going to waste someone's time with something they may or may not enjoy, best not to waste too much of it.

[Not so Happy Ending]

I thought the animation was pretty unique and it looks like a decent amount of time went into it, it beats motion tweens any day. Also I like how this video isn't a parody, which is a bonus to me.

But I didn't find it really super laugh-out-loud funny to be honest. The humor was very drawn-out. Voice acting was pretty good, but the lack of background noises or music or really any atmosphere sorta killed it for me... FightingSeraph pretty much hit the nail on the head with his review, I have to agree with a lot of stuff he said. Had some potential but not the greatest execution in the world.

Overall I liked the visuals, the line-work was pretty unique, and the colors were nice and vibrant. Lots of pictures I see. But some of the motions don't really look right, I dunno, the characters sorta get deformed and it transforms into a bit of a mess.

But yeah it had potential, and I thought it was unique, but I didn't think it was really anything super satisfactory.

Jae responds:

Thanks?

[Skyrim : Dovahbear]

Your animation is just amazing. You understand how physics works, it's very fluent. I'm a huge fan of how you did the colors, it's all in more of a duller-shade, but it all adds to the Skyrim-sorta style, since it mostly consists of wintery valleys, lots of grey. You also shaded and shined in all of the objects and characters, which can be a tedious job, but you did it, and did it well.

Your drawings are great, it has somewhat of a sketchy style, which is just awesome to look at. This thing kept making me laugh so hard, that bear just riding on the horse... I don't know what it was, but it worked. All that serious, epic music behind it all just topped it off.

I KNEW one day we would see the bear's adventure continue. Awesome job. You're a pro.

Bowz responds:

Thank you sir, your too kind. And shading everything is part of the reason this took longer than usual to make. I started this cartoon with the intent of keeping it simple. Things always get out of hand :D

[Side of Minecraft 3]

I kinda liked the drawings, colors were nice and flourescent. Script was good, but voice acting was kinda sub-part to my tastes, as well with the overall audio. There were very little amounts of sound effects and ambient noises, it seemed so lifeless. It also failed to make me laugh, generally.

However, some parts of the animation were pretty smooth, and they went a lot of places and it had a decent running-time. Not the worst ever, but I don't think it's anything really amazing either.

[Dinosaur Animation]

There were some things I liked and some things I didn't. I didn't feel to strongly about this cartoon negatively or positively, I think it was just okay.

For one thing, the visuals. Overall they are well-done, simplistic and clean. Very basic, but I see that is the style you are going for. It looks good in itself. I kinda like the color scheme, everything's in sort of a duller shade. As far as animation and coloring goes, it looks like you understand what you're doing.

Script is good, I like the screenplay and dialogue you have here, but a lot of the time I kinda found it tedious and slow-moving. Also, the actual concept and plot I didn't particularly like, I mean he's annoying the other dinosaur, but nothing really adds up to anything, he gets annoyed, and then they both just sorta die... I dunno, didn't do it for me. But I like how it has a decent running-time, it's not overly short, or TOO long. Though I kinda thought it was just a little tedious is all.

Voice acting is great, I loved it. Especially the t-rex.

Overall, it looks like you know what you're doing when it comes to making a cartoon, with the script, getting good-quality audio, and being able to handle the style of art and animation you are attempting to accomplish, though that quality may be a little sub-par, to me, anyway. It wasn't my favorite but I in no way hated it. I'd like to see more from you, I'll just leave it at that, pretty nice job.

[Beaches and Shores]

Oh wow I LOVE this animation style so much. It's not that sorta buttery-smooth thing, but it has that film-type frame-rate that I am a HUGE fan of. It was extremely artistic and stylistic to me, considering the part when you can tell she yelled but it has no sound effect for it, however the audio for other things is present. I liked it a ton, it just added to the mood. The artwork itself along with the animation was extremely nice, it wasn't the cleanest and smoothest but it was just well-drawn, it just somehow showed that you are a fantastic artist.

I kinda wish it lasted longer, I thought it would sorta be one of those longer, battle-type videos, but I thought it was still funny at that abrupt ending, lol. Excellent work overall.

[Swelter]

Pretty incredible. The color scheme was just stunning, animation was fluent, patterns and texturing were very neat, awesome effects as well. Audio was very high-quality.

Amazing job.

[Days Of Yore 2]

There was just something I really loved about this.

Art and animation were both very simple, but the colors were REALLY nice and popped out, animation had a very nice fluent effect and it had this sort of rhythm and pace that was kinda hard to describe... but I loved it. It never got boring, everything's constantly moving, it just kept me interested. You seem to understand motion and the way physics works, but you over-exaggerate it without making it just go off and stop making sense, it's just fun to watch. THIS THING IS ACTUALLY PLEASANT TO LOOK AT. All the cartoony sound effects you put in it matched so well.

Voice-acting was great, very over-the-top and just well-done. Mic quality could've been better, I mean if anything, but other than that I really enjoyed it.

This whole thing is basically just a good, well-paced and well-thought-out cartoon that is fun to watch and not just an ugly, failed attempt at copying someone else's style. You actually have your OWN style of drawing and animating, and I think it is great. One of the few videos on here that I actually want to watch more than once.

Well-done, I want to see more.

Thanks alot, dog.
