NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Magic Wand Infomercial]

I found this hilarious. Oh, the wonders one could do with a Magic Wand or destruction one could do. Overall, I thought this was well animated, good voice acting, and just hilarious to watch. Another nicely done animation!

[Buy Wards You Feeders]

Got to say, really love how this parodies Po Pi Po, almost right down to the dance that goes with it. Funny how Caitlyn just seems to be enjoying herself by dancing while advertising to buy sight wards. Really cute video. Only thing I feel could have been better is the dance itself. It almost feels like a frame or two is missing in the dance, that or I feel like the dance is slown down a bit. Just my opinion.

Overall, cute parody.

RetroSleep responds:

A few frames Huuh? Maybe, it's the first looping animation I have ever made so it might have needed something for a smoother loop that I missed. Thanks for the review I'll keep it in mind for future videos.

[Where Should I Go: Italy]

I thought that was a pretty interesting story. Hilarious how the hobo said he was only joking about hitchhiking onto the train. I think the real question I have for you is... did you ever get that pizza?

[Disney's FROZEN Silliness]

Did not see that ending coming but that this was quite hilarious. Nice to see you've improved your animating over time. Thought it was hilarious how after Elsa threw off the dress she looked like a blonde version of Kitana from Mortal Kombat. Looking forward to seeing what more humorous content you come out with in the future. Hilariously nice.

HogisLeDude responds:

Thanks man! ;D

[Twitch Plays Poke-Quest]

Would be nice if it did not loop. Other than that, really like how Red rotated constantly and accurately shows how the game is being played. I laughed really hard in regards to this showing what the game play is like thus far. Well done, thanks for doing a nice little Pokemon variant of BrodyQuest.

[Eartbownd]

Having played Earthbound before, I found this to be entirely hilarious. Really makes me think this is most likely what Ness himself saw as happening for a majority of the game given all the weird stuff he saw and dealt with in the game.

The animation was pretty good. The backgrounds seemed like they were tiled rather than really fitting in with the animation itself. Then showing the guy playing the game was sad since the graphics seemed to be of a slightly different quality than the rest of the animation. Had to compromise a bit to get this done on time?

The audio is entirely Earthbound except for the Hippie's voice. Would have been made humorous if he was holding a ruler while giving Ness the bag of drugs.

The story itself seems simple, forward, and humorous. Ness gets drugs without asking about the effects from the New Age Retro Hippie and suddenly goes on a weird mental adventure where he transforms leaving the player very much confused.

Overall, short and humorous. Could have done a bit more though.

fluckernutz responds:

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed. Aside from a bit of rushing to get it done I'm also sort of trying to find my style, hense why the animation seems to differ from scene to scene. Future projects will have no time contraints so expect a higher and more consistent quality to come.

[It's dangerous to go alon]

For a short look this is not that bad for a starter.

The animation itself is pretty funny and I like the reference to the "lost" episode of Spongebob where Spongebob pretty much does the same thing for around five minutes apparently minus the vocals. The lip syncing is nicely done too.

The audio itself is good but a bit choppy, would be nice to change up the quality so it is less grainy. Aside from that, audio seems fine.

Last thing, would suggest trying to clip this loop so the tune never ends and there is no excess frames being used to have Link keep walking until the music restarts again.

Overall, not bad, just need to practice is all.

[Open]

I'll give you a C for effort here. The animation is rather wonderful to look on. Sadly it seems to be ruined in that the audio does not seem to work for some reason. Perhaps an error happened while exporting the animation? If you ever finish up this piece, would like to see what all happened before she ended up there and after she went inside the temple. Not really much more to review here sadly due to the audio error and this being simply a short project you were given to do. If you ever get time, would like to see a fully animated version of this.

[Scorpion saves Lui Kang]

This seemed to be alright but fell short of really entertaining. Glad to see other people enjoyed it though, I would say you have a good grasp on how to animate. I think this could have been much longer and more entertaining. Perhaps could have had it lead into a round two with someone saving Ken from Scorpion making it all more interesting.

The sprites are nice but I feel it would have been better had you been able to make either the Street Fighter sprites (if you could find them) be more Mortal Kombat looking or vice versa. The Midway arcade crushing Ken is a nice reference to the one Friendship victory from Mortal Kombat II. Not too sure why the screen starts to zoom out there though, any particular reason?

The music used was fitting. However, the title screen did not fit the animation and seemed grainy in regards to quality. Compressed to save space for the flash itself? The rest of the music played fit the animation just fine.

The background are Mortal Kombat related, very nice.

Overall, this is nice but... try to make sure music fits all the way for everything, try to make these longer and ever better, keep on practicing. Have fun with future sprite or non-sprite related animations.

SebzX12 responds:

Thanks for the headsup, and maybe soon I will finish the mk vs sf series that proxicide didn't accomplished!

[Make my day]

This animation was wonderful and I like how there was use of frame by frame style animation mixed with the wonderful backgrounds and all. The one thing I really wanted to point off the bat is why not link to the Nightmare Night song used in this animation? Pretty sure WoodenToaster/GIaze has it on their soundcloud and youtue account. Now that I've said that, on to the rest of the review.

The animation is nice. I like the frame by frame usage like I said earlier. The pills fading out in his stomach and his face suddenly coming into existence is good. Seeing how his face is seen to not be visible unless he injects himself with a serum, I have to wonder, what causes this to happen to him? Is it a nightmare or dream like the rest of the story seems to be?

The story is interesting. He wakes up and just goes about his job and suddenly is able to make the world a happier place. However, he suddenly finds himself drained of happiness it seems by giving it to everyone else and sacrificing his own happiness as he returns to the nightmare he seems to be used to. Sad to see in the end, his life is apparently a nightmare, no matter what he does.

The audio was fitting and I liked how it smoothly transitioned from one tune to the next one. Just hearing the sound effects of a water faucet being turned on is good. However, if that got a sound with it, why didn't most of the other stuff?

Overall, good animation, aside from me nitpicking in regards to audio, this turned out to be very good. Have fun with future animations. :)
