NekoMika's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TRUE Super Mario world]

Mario, almost silent

This actually was real nice. the preloader kind of threw me off though since I thought it might lead into a game rather than a movie but the movie still turned out quite well. I did not keep track of how long this flash was either but my goodness did you do an amazing job on this piece.

The voice acting was solid and I kind of laughed at how the two piranha plants argued with each other over Mario and then Mario simply walked off as if it had never happened. Also laughed at how the goomba was not offended or angry for too long at Mario jumping on him out of fear.

The graphics were very nice. The Peach in a bikini photo proves you have some real potential in the flash community as well. This is actually a very nice first submission as well.

I am looking forward to seeing more impressive submissions from you in the future as well.

HexMe responds:

Thank you for your kind words, hopefully more is soon to come.

[Sonic Gut Feeling]

Awesome

Well I guess for once Sonic finally snapped but admitted he need someone to help him to do something which was to live and get off the spike that impaled him. I think while he was telling us how he went so fast he probably should have watched where he was going. It is why you can't drive a car and have your eyes wander elsewhere unless you want to be in a crash and get fatal wounds.

The animation was very nice and it looked like a mix of being drawn by hand as well being drawn on the computer at the same time as well. The graphic vomiting and blood was also very nicely drawn; as was the backgrounds and other items drawn up with Sonic.

I though the voice acting was fairly nice and well done so nice work there. I like how Sonic finally explodes and tells Tails how whiny and useless he is but then he apologizes stating he is his best friend and almost always there when he needs help defeating Eggman and his stupid robots.

I found the choice in audio to be very well chosen and I appreciate the credits too be funny as the mirror the annoyances of modern day television shows as well where you can't appreciate the credits and music and instead get annoyed with ads for other shows that the viewer probably does not care about either.

I would have to say that overall you did an excellent job with this. The blood, guts, and vomit were nice and the credits mirror that of modern day shows. Great piece of work. Looking forward to more in the future.

Thanks, glad you understood the credits joke at the end. Hope you'll stick around to watch more of our flashes when we submit them.

[Skeleton Walk Loop]

Hynotic

Great job here actually. The skeleton is awesome but the circles around it are crazy looking and just hypnotize into watching them for long periods of time which is a good and bad thing.

It is good because they look awesome.

It is bad because you could sit there and watch it all day because of how awesomley hypnotic it is.

TheBoogley responds:

I don't want to control peoples minds... but I guess someone's gotta do it :)

[Cat Dog Wolf Fox]

It's alright

The animation is just a simple loop but I guess you were wishing to test out your flash skills and see how they were coming along. You seem to do pretty nicely with pivot motion for the fox's legs which wasn't bad.

If you wanted to do a little better with this then you maybe could have spent more time on the background instead of making it a dull two tone styled background. However the four words flashing at the top goes along with the song nicely so I guess it isn't all that bad.

The song sounds very simple yet catchy as well.

Overall, spend more time with the background, give this a storyline instead of a loop and you could have a lot more potential.

rouedy responds:

Cheers bro, yeah, it's my first flash animation. We just wanted to see how the whole process would go (animation + sound + timing + music) and exporting (which is a bitch and a half).

But thanks :)

(When we put it on youtube on MP4 it didnt loop, didnt realise it would loop on newgrounds, ill figure out a replay button for next time).

[Creeper Cat]

One creepy stalking cat

I guess it was simply stalking him and just wanting some attention I guess since cats have a tendency to do that if you ignore them for some reason. The graphics were actually pretty nice here.

The story seemed to flow nicely as they guy begins to watch his girlfriend's cat and the cat seems to stalk him the whole time. She soon arrives back and the cat still watches and follow him. He decides he should go and when he gets out to his car, the cat is there as well.

The voice acting was solid and I liked the sound effect for the cat. Although you could have at least made it meow a few times so it wouldn't feel as weird. The car was also poorly drawn but I guess you are still trying to get better at flash slightly. I think a little more time spent and the car could have been drawn well.

Also at the start it looked like he had boobs but I guess that was just where his shoulders were at weird angles at the start though.

Overall, I would have to say this turned out great. The only downsides were the poorly drawn car, the shoulders at the start looking like boobs, and the cat never meows once.

Good work here overall.

KingGostly responds:

I have to agree with you, cars are a total bitch for me to draw. But I just need to get some more practice time in. Thanks loads for the review.

[CSI: Minecraft]

Hilarious

The animating was actually really nice considering I don't see square shaded characters very often. Funny how you incorporate the CSI pun as well. The shading and voice acting was pretty funny as well. Just how it all flowed togehter was great.

I have to say that overall though, this is hilarious and great song!!

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks!

[Sunflower Fairy Loop]

A perfect loop

Have to say this actually turned out to be a great loop. She leaves and then comes back to it while laying there seductively for a moment. She hears something, goes to investigate and comes right back to the same flower again. I think this could have been a bit better with sounds though. As in adding a sound to show why she left and then possibly the sound of her wings flapping as she left. Then another sound for when she comes back to lay down.

The graphics were fairly nice though. The background and flowers looked really nice as well. Her outfit looked pretty cool and she seemed to have a calm yet playful face on her.

I would have to say that overall this is a great loop and shows you had potential but a few sound effects could make this a bit better.

purefey responds:

Thanks! I was mostly playing around with flash, I'm glad it turned out the way it did.
