Xinxinix's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mean Girls Animated Collab | Meet the Plastics]

this is what a reanimated should be like.

the stilted conversations, the raw cuts, the artistic interpretations, the style translations... it's all so perfect wtf....

well done guys, seriously.

WesMakowski responds:

appreciate the kind words of encouragement <3

[Elizabeth Darlington and her Black Eyes]

No way, CacklingPumpkins animation? Congrats on Daily 4th homie !! ^^

CacklingPumpkins responds:

Thanks dude! I had to do a double take when I saw it on the homepage lol

["Opposite Day" - Undertale Animation]

Solid animation for sure. It's very charming.

SamuzitoTHEAnimator responds:

Thanks!! i've been thinking if i do detailed animations or simple animations like this

[SPEEDMAN]

There's so much to be said but so little time... (I NEED SPEED, MAN!!!)

Starting with the intro, there's a HUGE comical, as in comics, effect going on with the explanation. It reminds me HEAVILY of Ratchet & Clank: a series that brinks itself on treachery, goofiness, seriousness, and adventure, but keeps itself consistently grounded with genuine jokes. I think you nailed that INSTANTLY with the transition to someone watching it on a television. You capture your audience with a "Saturday Morning Cartoon" basically.

Then the real story begins.

Off the rip, we're sunken into a setting where things are awry. Still not afraid to make the occasional joke, we're stimulated with a beautiful amount of camera angles and symphonic superhero-movie type orchestras. Your benevolence towards the protagonist being silent allows for the expressions and body language of all the characters to shine through. Eventually the viewer becomes used to reading all the emotional subtleties in your animation techniques.

Here is where I make a comparison to Love, Death & Robots.

Clearly there is something wrong during all the joy. Clearly our hero not communicating means we'll never know what's going on in his head. While the threat closes in, we're also worried about our hero and the scientist's reaction to him. You have two polar forces both causing strain and tension and it's handled masterfully.

Your plot points are very powerful and couple supremely well with the art direction. At no point did I feel lost or that there was "filler" of any sort. It's a keen project with a focus on being cinematic, all the way to the end... I got goosebumps at Speedman's character transformation... and in "Love, Death & Robots" fashion... (mostly) everyone ends up a loser.

The mournful aspect being that it's literally just a short story that took place over the course of a few days, and ends with that dry feeling that something profound, yet abysmally short-lived occurred with a ripple effect that will change the world forever... and such is the fragility and rapturous effect of life in the universe and its miracles (or something IDK LOL.)

5/5 holy crap, would show this to future generations for fun.

Bowz responds:

Wow man, I am honored by your thoughtful review. Thank you!

[The Road to El Dorado Redialed | Scene 137 Alternate Version]

Seemless marker/traditional animation. Captures all the goofyness without any setbacks from your chosen animation approach.

AidanDaniels responds:

Hey, thank you!

[Random Animation]

a little bit of audio woulda went a long way

Malphas404 responds:

Still trying to figure out how to put audio onto animation, but I will keep that in mind in animation.

[Little Eyes]

Pretty damn good.

I like the message you're trying to convey--the music does well to compliment the animation itself. Although, I do hope the song comes without copyright.

Icy64 responds:

Thank you so much! Happy you liked the message, thats what i was trying to focus on more

As for copyright, i message the artist beforehand and they were okay with it, less okay with the kinda harsh words about the game in the description though

["Battle Genie"]

the crowd went apesh*t

dafuq he even turn into tho ????

BarFlyShorts responds:

A door handle

[9/11 but Poorly Animated lol]

this is so 2000's comedy :-/

DAVEFARTZ responds:

I Missed 2007 - 2011 :(

[Find the Friend!]

This has some really cool transitions in it, and a very classic ambiance ^^

MonkaBonka809 responds:
