DonkeysBazooka's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Merry Ricksmas 2]

and i didn't just write this because i owe you....

was this all done with a mouse? if so, then you do deserve some extra credit. The only animation i've ever had to do with a mouse is stick figures, so i have to assume this whole movie took an especially long time.

on the plus side, there were some genuinely funny parts to this movie that made me chuckle. (the part where Grinch-laden sewed his hands to the fabric for example). and the animation wasn't too bad considering the tools you had to work with. so nice job on that

the movie could have benefited from some background music though. it needed more than just some music at the end. you'd be surprised how some ambient background noise (or music) adds to the movie. it makes it sound more finished.

also, the voice quality was kind of low, but I can understand that entirely because it is extremely difficult to change the pitch of your voice without altering the speed. I had a hell of a time doing that for my elf in my flash. (I ended up using 3 different programs to work on the same audio file)

So good job. I didn't give you this score because just because you did me a favor... but I did give you a 5/5 for that reason :-)

smirkstudios responds:

thanks a lot bro :P let me clear some stuff up for you. i didnt use a mouse, but i did use the pencil tool the whole time which proved to be much sloppier of a tool thank i expected. my future toons will feature my skills with the paintbrush tool which is much better i must say. the low quality drawing in this is a result of not much perfection or time spent on the animation.

also, as far as the sounds, i just got a huge sound pack file of like 300 awesome sounds at pretty good quality, and i will be using sirjeffofshort 's voice talents in my next cartoon, which you can read about in my news page. thanks for the review bro, and thanks for the 5!!! i dont deserve it :P (personally i would have rated this at a 7/10 and 3/5)

[jesus party]

i liked this

the animation kind of reminded me of ren and stimpy. it was pretty good. congrats on that. the audio did the trick even without sound effects, so that too was satisfactory.
the story was a little weak, but for the length, i suppose it got the job done. alright so Satan through a birthday party for Jesus, and Jesus got wasted... but why did Satan drive a flying sleigh like Santa? that was kind of unclear, and maybe there's a joke to that that I'm just overlooking but I thought it was good.
and I could see why you mother would be appauled by this, but as an athiest I am unscathed :)

peixeaquatico responds:

I have to admit that the idea of using sled was confusing

thanks for your comment

[Across the Universe: Ep.1]

oh you totally deserve a 5/5

Sure, the animation was kind of limited, but you've got some great effects in this thing. And it seems like what could develop into a very enthralling story. Good writing. I hope the second part doesn't take as long as this one did :-P

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

dandy

superb animation. wonderful voice acting. and excellent job turning nothing into a funny cartoon. "you fuck asses with your dick, which is also you"

i will remember that line forever

[Bad Hair]

that was very funny

it just worked well. the facial expressions, and the audio. the animation was life-like. nicely done, and for only 48 hours, very nicely done

[Custodial Catastrophe]

nifty

excellent frame by frame work. especially on the fire animation and the nuclear explosion. i was very impressed by those.

the vocal audio was kind of weak sounding, and the story telling could use some work towards the end there, but lucky for you I'm a sucky for good frame-by-frame work.

i 5'd this. nice work. nice work indeed.

[Jerry and The Closet]

damn it all!

now i've got no chance in hell of winning the contest!....sigh
it was very funny, superbly animated, and pretty much outperformed in every area >:C

i gave this a 5, you jerk.

and i favorited it! i hate you!
