Ryanson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gagsy: KOTP]

Original

And somewhat funny.

Too bad that's her nephew.

I wonder what she thinks?

"Who the fuck is Gagsy" lmao

What's the song that plays?

Pop-Tart responds:

She loves it. And yes, I know that's her nephew. That's why it's funny.

The song is The Touch from the Transformers cartoon back in the 80s.

[Dance of the Manwhore]

The Humor Is Out of this World

Quick write-off: With smooth animation and the sexiest song on the internet (that's not saying a lot), Sexual-Lobster has created a video for the manwhore named Fernando in all of us.

Its throbbing techno beat loops and "Fernando" whispers erotically, seductively, humorously. Those with that bit of Newgrounds inside us will appreciate its mature-themed oddball humor... but for those looking to seduce women may want to wait until we find extra-terrestrial life. It's *that( out of this world.

[Turd Eating Cat]

I'm Totally Trippin' Man

Forgive me: usually I write a review. This time, you'll have to settle for a quick write-off.

Every once in a while, there comes a cartoon that completely fucks up everyone's mind when they watch it. This is that one.

Though this may not be the best and could in fact disturb and turn off some viewers, you can't deny that this tale has creativity and ambition abound. And that is something worth watching any day.

[Awesome Reach]

Amazingly Accurate

Egoraptor's Awesome series is truly something to behold. Humorous and quick to the point, they may remain a mainstay in the Newgrounds history book. All of them are animated in a style that consistently gets better, this one being the greatest looking of all the them. There's no denying, sir, that the future holds great things if you keep on animating the way you have been (although the facial expressions are a bit too weird for my tastes).

That said, a good few of the reviews before me state that this movie simply wasn't funny, that Egoraptor had lost his touch. Critics are funny and fickle creatures, but still their words stung. I didn't expect to laugh, and yet I did. I had to watch it a second time, just to see if it wasn't a fluke. It was pretty off-the-wall, but it was certainly funny. Egoraptor's style still has degrade itself into meaningless drivel like Neurotically Yours. But instead of tackling the video game he chooses to instead take on the fanboys, exaggerating everything they do. He captures the excitement well with the grunts and laughter, and the animation is smooth and mostly appealing.

Though many people may move on, though many will never accept the new and "improved" over the old and "classic," this movie is still Egoraptor, and he is still in top form. Abrupt endings and weird monster faces aside, he still manages to excite Newgrounds by BEING Newgrounds. How many people can say they do that, and mean it?

[Ninja versus demon]

All Style, No Substance -- It's All For the Better

Fight sequence Flashes, while cool, rarely hold up. Granted they are pretty popular, but should they be? Most of them lack creativity or substance using the same kinds of effects and fighting movies that only befit Dragon Ball Z.

But this interesting and short video makes everything look like practice. Well choreographed and stylistic beyond belief, this combines moderm fantasy stock characters and grey colors with very geometric visuals, giving it somewhat of a noir look. And it's all very calculated, from the anime-esque look of the fighters and the bouncy techno fighting music to the sharp corners on just about every blended-in background piece. This was made to appeal to the action fan who wants a quick burst of adrenaline in their animation, without the hassles of a rhyme or a reason.

Normally, that would hinder a better work. But the originality and the life in this piece allows it to rise above the competition.

[This girl I like..]

Hilarious -- Simply Put

Besides the "Shorts to Wear Pants To" collab and the "Touchtone Genius" animation, Andrew Huang's Songs to Wear Pants To don't usually have great animation that capture the irony and humor of his music.

This deserves to go up there with the greats. While a bit vulgar (maybe too much so for Andrew's songs) it perfectly captures the feel of the song and, with your smooth animation and surprisingly well-timed lip sync, it makes it a hilarious half-minute that I'll gladly waste again and again.

[Twilight : Hairy Moon]

Worth a Half-Moon, Not a Full

The humor was only there for a bit, but what little there was was definitely pretty funny. If I'd have looked at the TV for just a small bit, I'd have missed it.

Animation-wise, it was nice and smooth and captured the essence of Twilight's imagery while making it obvious that this was a spoof. Edward looked like the movie character, and the effort put into that is impressive enough. The voices were what ruined it for me -- Jacob and Edward blended together way too much.

Not a bad short, and certainly a breath of fresh air from all the outright rage and hate that goes on in Newgrounds. But it felt like a small taste, and not a completed cartoon -- as if it was unable to reach its full potential.

Side-note: nice use of Kane's theme, but this spoof is totally wrong for it.

[The Justin Bieber Show]

Funny, And without Any Actual Bieber Bashing?!

I would have thought it impossible -- someone on Newgrounds making a movie with the Bieb in it, but without a single insult thrown at him? So happy. So proud.

It's pretty amusing, and short thankfully. The animation is top-notch for a Flash, and while Justin Bieber may have inspired this cartoon, if you took him out and replaced him with a generic person the cartoon would still have been funny.

But then again, what makes it better is that we all have heard of Justin Bieber.

[Super Smash]

This

This is what a reimagining should be like -- taking something already great and make it even better.

Though there were no sound effects, almost everything was perfect -- including the music. I was expecting a more epic Mario song, but what was there was perfect replacement.

Other than maybe one scene with sloppy animation, this is definitely a must-see for any Mario fan.

[When You Wish Upon A Star]

Aaaaah!!

What I thought would be a cute, fun short turned out to be a disturbing piece of work... and I loved every moment of it.

While it still started out quite cute, it quickly turned. Was very unexpected.
