NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I Like Vegetables]

This was quite funny.

The lyrical style of Parry Gripp has always reminded me of Weird Al for some reason. Only difference being he has less of a squeaky voice than Al and tends to sound more forceful when he sings which makes me happy.

The animation was pretty good. The characters seem a bit boring looking and focuses more on facial expressions. I guess you drew in this style since drawing a full character, hair, clothes, details and all for more than a few frames takes more time than you want to be used right?

The vegetables looked pretty simple yet nice. I also enjoy vegetables but can't stand the taste of some vegetables such as beets or asparagus. Song kind of reminds me of an earlier song that someone else animated on here (Do You Like Waffles?). Nice to see that years later, people like you still enjoy animating his tunes.

The backgrounds were also good. Only really glaring issue I felt was with the brick wall for some reason. Not sure why but it felt slightly off to me for whatever reason. I can let it slide on animating the inside of his mouth since I imagine that would be putting in far more detail than what is really needed for a music video.

The audio is Parry Gripp, not much more needs to be said there. Kind of sad how he stopped doing "Song a Week" after a year. However, I imagine making a song every week was a lot of work.

Overall, very nicely done music video.

Yeah the brick wall was a bit of an issue for me, and thinking back I should have done something like no lines but different colours. Oh well. Thanks!

[About Love]

Well, this was a bit different from what I'm used to seeing I guess. Kind of sad seeing the animation is a bit mixed, the start is great and the quality at the end is pretty down, time constraints I suppose?

The quality of the animation was nice. Although it does tend to switch from animation to words a lot. Along with that, I feel the words could have been hand drawn as well like you did with the words in the intro, again, I'm going to guess time constraints prevented that right? Really felt like watching a bump from HBO with the backgrounds looking like they were cutup pieces of paper being used to create the scenery. The clouds made me think of cotton.

Not much to see in regards to font since it is mostly just a basic font, no complaints there but would have been nice if they had been hand written as well.

The voices were calm. Really liked how clean they sounded too. What kind of microphone was being used? Only thing I did not like was the music. It is not terrible but feels like an overused kind of song for these kind of animations. I think you could have gone with a softer, ambient tune without guitar and drums and this would have seemed better to me.

As for the message being passed, I do agree with it. Just because one does not have the same sexual orientation as others does not make them a bad person. They are pretty normal like anyone else, they just love someone different is all. If someone does not have the same sexual orientation as me I would not be putting them down and telling them they are horrible because it is not really any of my business to try shoving my opinion down their throat.

For a college project I would say you did quite well, hope your artistic skills get better with the next piece you make.

Overall, decent animation, decent voices, could have used a different song, subpar animation. Also, congratulations on getting Front Page.

[TPP: Red's Celebration]

That was pretty funny. Very well done and nice use of sprites for making this animation. I look forward to more.

spritefan responds:

Thanks!

[Super Slumber Party]

This never gets old! Always fun to watch!

[CAGH: Tropes vs Men in Games]

Really love how this is a "Take That" towards people who do these kind of videos without checking their facts to begin with. Nicely done voices for the characters and all as well. I enjoyed it.

[The Lost Series : "Detect]

Good heavens that was awesome! Really hope to see more of these in the future. The animation was jsut perfect. Loved that little extra detail of the film having a slight tear in it near the ending. Very nice job. Nothing to do to really make the animation better. I just want to see more of these, excellent work!

animotionism responds:

Thank you! i will make more for sure i love making these!

[I want some criticism]

The animation is fluid and nice. However, a lack of sound really keeps me from being able to give the best critique I can so I will just run with what was shown in this loop.

Starting out, her getting up is nice, seems nothing was skipped as far as her getting up goes. Then the bird suddenly starts to kill her and creates a bloody mess. Not going to assume there was any storyline here and run with the idea that is meant to be a silly little short of a girl and a psychotic bird with a sociopath tendency to kill people.

The background is nice and simple although I imagine you will get better in time.

Lastly, I think adding sounds would have made this more entertaining to watch.

Overall, for a small loop, this is pretty good but not too much to recommend in regards to getting better at the moment. Have fun making more animations.

[Jade vs Liun Kang Fatalit]

This was quite hilarious. I think this was a rather nice Mortal Kombat animation. The fight sounds and all are done in a nice fashion. I feel the only issue I really have at all here is some parts feel like they were drawn out to be as long as possible such as Liu Kang's Bicycle Kicks and Jade taking her time before finishing off Liu Kang in her own special way. Aside from that, nice.

Overall, humorous way of getting a Fatality done with a lady I think.

[TLiC-Goomble Plus]

I found this to be hilarious. The voice acting was nice. I felt like I was watching part of an episode too. Very nice, funny, and short.

[Spider-Man's Day Off]

This was humorous. Pretty funny how the laugh track kicks in after Johnson makes a joke about SpiderMan dropping in right after he died. Wonder what was in that cabinet that made it heavy enough to crush SpiderMan. Oh well I suppose, SpiderMan clearly shouldn't have been drinking while wearing his outfit.

Overall, short, humorous, and to the pint, great work as usual.
