IEatBabies's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Angry Dog - Pheromones]

Great Animation, Bad Voices and Possibly Story

The animation itself was great. Very clean, beautifully colorful, big screen. I really liked that a lot. The voice acting though, I'm sorry, wasn't very good. It was about the same as if you took a few random people standing in front of a bank and said, 'read this please'. The jokes too, weren't spectacular, though I may be wrong, I'd have to hear them read by the right voice actors maybe.

I'm sure newgrounds will give you generally good reviews because the high quality of the artwork and the fluidity of the animation. But if you are really serious about making cartoons (not saying you are, I personally make cartoons for the fun of it and mine are much worse than yours lol) but if you are, then I would seriously consider getting some voice actors.

I hate seeing such hard work an amazing animation thrown down the drain because one element isn't up to par. In this case that element is the voice acting, I'm pretty sure. Anyways, thank you for your time and for the wonderful cartoon and I look forward to more.

Again, great job on the animation.

thanks!
though you are correct in saying we are not professionals, the comments so far on the voice acting have been overwhelmingly positive! i like voices with a touch of reality to them rather than hyped up cartoon characters.

Love That Song

I love that song. Even though you looped the animation a bunch of times, I like what you did here, which the background to make up for not coloring. I'm always looking for tricks to animate quicker so I can maximize the enjoyment of actually making things move. lol Thanks for the animation, I liked it personally.

[The Meaning Of Life?]

That Version

Always a fan of that version of Sad World. Nice thoughts, good words.

I'm sure everyone and their grandmother has told you it's 'not technically an animation' but I wouldn't be discouraged by it, as the philosophy laid out in your film seems to say, be happy and follow your heart.

[The Lonely Castle Crasher]

I like your setup.

I like your set up, only a handful of drawings and lots of manipulation. I could learn a lot from an animator like you, on how to be more economic with my drawings when I animate. That way you can put more into the quality. All the characters and the background were nice and clean, shiny. Good set up.

As for the story, I wasn't overly impressed but I am not really into this sort of thing so its just my own opinion. I still think you are a good animator and I hope you keep it up. :)

Thanks for your honest and helpful review, I always like to hear constructive criticism from the viewer and this is a great example. Thanks again!

The Only Problem

The only problem I have with most really well rated, well animated, cartoons on newgrounds is a complete lack of style and unfortunately this is no exception. The other major problem is usually sound quality - but not in this cartoon :)

Well animated, nice and fluid, nice compositions. Good music. Good sound quality. All around a good cartoon by most standards but lacking in originality to the utmost. And to be fair, the BACKGROUNDS do have their own style, and I enjoyed them very much.

But, It seems to me like no one puts 'themselves' into their character designs. It might just be a personal preference but I still feel it needs to be said. I understand the need for simplicity when animating a character but it seems to me that the same basic style is all you ever see on newgrounds.

White eyes no pupils, I'm am SICK TO DEATH of this style. It is an ugly style and it has been done to death on newgrounds. Done to DEATH. I understand no one wants to animate mouths and pupils. Pupils are much easier and less time consuming than mouths. If you have to pick one, pick mouths.

Anyways, still a good cartoon. If the characters were designed in an original style I would have no problems giving it a 8. And if it also 'engaged' me more, maybe got its expression across a bit clearer, coupled with an original style, I'd be an easy 10.

It wouldn't take much alteration for me to really love this work, and I'm a fan of previous steps.

Anyways, sorry for being harsh but hopefully my opinion has helped, thank you,

Texture

Great use of texture to beef up your animation.

[: Horror Flick Chicks :]

Your animation style is cunning.

Her head, Foamy, one hand, and a single background. You are fucking brilliant. I wish I had your expertise in how to make something look good with as a little effort. And you use the same gestures for her hand from time to time.

I know that might come off as sarcastic but I'm honestly saying this to you. I really wish I had your ability to know how to set things up to be simpler, but for greater impact, like your cartoons.

Keep up the good work!

Short and Sweet.

I could learn a lot from you. Short. Precise punchline/point to the film. Easy to do yet well done. Very funny and entertaining. Brillaint.

Entertaining

I was kept pretty entertained the whole time. Non stop movement pleases the brain for some reason. Some of those flashing lights were a bit much for me to look at, but whatever, it all fit into its hyper-active kitty-crewish type setting. Nice work!

Observations-.

I like the observations you made about Winnie the Pooh, you put it all together in a funny dialogue, good stuff! :D
