Slickernaut's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All NG Fads Die!!! 3!!!]

A stab in the face of some decent work.

Politics aside, I believe this cartoon was a decent slab of work. I can tell that it took the creators some time to piece it together. Some of the animation was quite well done, even though nearly every single use of material in this cartoon (namely the music) is in violation of some kind of copyright law.

I would have appreciated seeing some original characters used to kill some of these "fads". I find it ironic that Pokemon are viewed as saviors, yet some of the more mature characters like Salad Fingers are not.

I don't understand why it's so cool to bash on the hard work of these people. They worked on making their cartoons better, either written or artistically. They strived to succeed, and they deserve the attention and, in some cases, the money they earn. So go ahead and respond to my review with "flag this", but please learn to take criticism, because not everyone will like your cartoon. It's not fair to threaten people just because they don't like Pokemon or Limp Bizkit.

MACception responds:

"SWEET SWOLLEN SATAN THIS IS A LONG ONE, yes please no politic ive had enough of george bush...Im glad you enjoyed this..fucken nice collab and all that, most of the charecters made were "original" exept the people that get killed, and no..its not cool to flame peoples work becuse there better then theres, they just THINK there cool becuse there 1 million miles away and they wouldent even bother to say it in there face, back to this.... fucken eh, its been mabey 30 flaming reviews and the angels sent you from above..i tip thy holy hat to you my good sir"

Dude, i'm not going to flag this, it's sort of ligit. Anyway, you DID fail to realize that we do this because we LIKE what these animators do! I LOVE "There She Is!!!" and it was fun to see it get destroyed man! It's all in love. If you would have read either the disclaimer or description, you would have CLEARLY seen that we weren't out to start wars.

[S.A.M.V. p4: - ...fear...]

Fantastic.

It's great to see that a fifth addition to this series is coming out. I'm glad the author is taking his time. Watching this the first time not only introduced me to this original (and very well made) series, but inspired me not to give up my own crappy attempts at cartooning.

The facial animation in this is almost unmatched on Newgrounds. It's long enough to entertain you thoroughly. And except for a grand Monkey Island referance, is one of the most original cartoons I've ever seen on Newgrounds.

I can't wait for part five. Don't rush it, take all the time you need!

BaconMask responds:

Thank you for the kind words!

Indeed, my whole right arm is sore from furiously animating (yes, ANIMATING you sick monkeys!)part 5. It's going to be a three parter, with the first of the three parts to be released here in a couple of weeks. Unfortunatley, even with being highly optimized and compressed it is close to 6 megs! Hopefully people will forgive me when they watch it... Thanks again for the awesome review!

P.S.- I just got done watching a few of your toons. The Fogmarl series is brilliant!

[Boy: Episode One]

Not too bad for a first try...

If it were just a bit faster, and didn't have so many subliminal images, and didn't state upfront that it was not an attempt to imitate the works of Mr. David Firth, it could have been great.

Hart-Productions responds:

I feel ya... It wasn't stated up front that it was imitation though, sir... I just knew that I would get a bunch of assholes saying "You rip off David Firth!! Blah blah!!" If I hadn't said something like that... Turns out I did anyway though... But I mean, not as many as I would've gotten if i hadn't?

[Drawing Tutorial]

Not a bad tutorial.

I love to see positive flash that encourages others to do well. Good job.

Joel-Thomas responds:

I appreciate the kind words, but I've come to terms with the crappiness of my flash, if I ever get around to another project I'll be a lot more careful about it. I've learned enough to even want to go back and remake this pile..

[Planes go whee]

A cloud penis.

Sorry friend, but I don't think so. Not entertaining. You could have built an entire cartoon around this small joke, but instead you gave it it's own cartoon. Also, you do not credit your music selection. Did you acquire this legally, or did you just rip it from someone?

Good luck in the future.

YoshY-txt responds:

Uhum. I could've made another cartoon and should've just inserted that as a joke in the middle, but i don't have the skills nor patience to do that wich is amainly sad....

Anyways, the song I literally Stole out of "The Bouncing Souls"(A band), that meaning, not legal.
The song is called "Instrumental". I should've at least credited it though... Thanks for pointing that out.

And thanks for the review, it always helps, really really thanks.

By the way, the critic I made to your cartoon, doesn't literally mean that all my animations are better than yours, I actually didn't even see your other anims. But i still think your anim doesn't deserve the front page, and maybe I could do better than yourself, but let us not fight for having different opinions. =)

[The Nieghbor Kids ep. 1]

Not bad at all for your first attempt..

You're on the right track.. The drawings and animation were alright, although lacking detail and a little hard to see, being that they were so tiny. It seemed to drag a bit, though.. And I don't understand the signifigance of "Chewy". You mention him both in the short and in your description, yet he plays quite an insignificant role.

Good work, keep it up!

neogeo0823 responds:

thanks for the review. chewy will be making a cameo style appearance in each movie. sorta like my trademark...kinda...thing... anyway, i think ill end up making him the kids pet and he will begin to play more significant roles in later movies. but right now its just an idea. well have to see how the the stories play out...

[Piconjo's Confession:4..?]

Thank you!

I hate to get involved with this situation, but I'm glad someone out there is speaking out. I get sick of very few things, Foamy and Piconjo bullcrap among them.

I didn't know he was being compared to Strawberry clock. That's a shame. The Clockcrew was original, and as far as I know, Piconjo is a stick figure Pico, Tom Fulp's creation. That alone is BS.

I just saw the Piconjo Confession 3 the other day, and was blown away by how unneccessary that crap is. Thank you for making this.. It made my evening.

Freakishular responds:

Well It's good to know I made your evening =)
Thank-you for the review Slickernaut,

[PICONJO CONFESSION 3]

What?

Dude, I'm pretty sure no one cares. What's up with all this love and sadness? I don't want to see that.. I really don't care. Why is it that this gets a 3+ score? I don't get it... It's not a cartoon, it's just a drawing of a guy sitting in a chair "confessing" that he lied about getting some job. Oh, did I mention that I didn't care?

Piconjo responds:

LegendaryFrog cares. because he voted 6! just like j00.

thx <3 j00

[Sonic Hedgehog Nutshell]

I can tell it took some time to make..

But it really wasn't funny. Also, it claims to be Sonic in a nutshell, yet there is several minutes of needless ranting about blue paint and other stupid crap that had me clawing my ears off. Try harder.

Vaztor responds:

Uh...it tells the story of how Sonic became Sonic and Robotnik became his enemy in 2 minutes and 50 seconds.I THINK thats in a nutshell ;)

[Priceless Parody]

Hmm.

Sort of ironic that you think sticks fare better than clocks. I think your next flash should perhaps consist of a human-like character putting together his computer, and then blamming stick cartoons, because I am sick of them.

pac2k4 responds:

I do think sticks are better flash movies than clocks. Sure, human-like characters would be better than either, but I'm not at that level graphically yet.
