PenguinLink's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Random Stuff 5]

Very nice job!

This was great! It was entertaining, one of the reason why flash animations are fun watching. The graphics need a little bit more work. Some objects were drawn poorly, others were drawn nice. An example is the rock and the tree. The rock was drawn so-so and the tree was drawn very nice. The jokes incorporated in the animation were amusing and funny. They were quite original as well. Nice job on that. The music was great because it fitted the animation nicely and it was nice listening to it. The violence was great as well. Very nice animated blood sequences and drawn. Overall, you did an awesome job and good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Ok graphics, Great style, Wonderful music and sounds, Nice Violence, Amusing jokes.

[Lost Faith]

Not very Good...

What does the title have to do with what happens in the flash? Why did the boy lose faith? None of this is explained in the animation. First off, the graphics were average. Not too bad, nor too good. I found this to be very unoriginal or amusing. What was the point to this submission? The lack of sound effects was also a very bad thing. You could have at least put a sound for the gunshot. Also, what does this have to do with Christmas in the first place? Just because the kid askes for a new computer for Christmas, it's Christmas related? This submission needs a lot of work. Next time, try adding sound effects, some kind of plot or storyline or at least something that would make this animation interesting, and try to make it way more longer. The music at the end was obnoxious and loud and didn't have anything to do with Christmas as well. Try changing all of these things and you will have a much better animation. Good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Average Graphics, Poor storyline or Plot, lacks sound effects, obnoxious music, very short, has nothing to do with Christmas.

[Bat Stick]

Needs some work...

But otherwise ok for your first flash. The graphics need some work. I agree stick figures are difficult to add more detail to but you could have at least given more depth or detail to the background. The style wasn't too good. I really didn't find this to be orginal or amusing in any way. The music was good because it fit the mood of the animation very well. The sound effects were ok as well. The length of the movie wasn't too great. It was way to short and needed more explanations of why "Bat Stick" did what he had done. I understand this is your first submission but there is a lot of room for improvement. On your next submission, try drawing better graphics and learn how to shade and add more detail to them, come up with more orginal and unique storylines, and make it way more longer. Practice makes perfect, so go out there and practice! Good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Poor graphics, Poor storyline and plot, nice music and sound effects, very short.

[A Very Blob Festivus]

Very well done!

This animation shows you guys have very great animation skills. The blob was very well animated. Great use of Frame by Frame techniques. The graphics were good, but some lacked more detail. For example, you could have shaded the candy-cane. The style was great! I found this to be very orginal and entertaining. The music fitted the animation great. The only reason why the score for the Sound category is somewhat low is because there weren't any sound effects. It would have been great if you would have incorporated some kind of sound effect to the blob. Such as a squishy sound of some sort. This animation was very smooth in terms of animation and I hope to see more from you guys sometime soon. Good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Good Graphics, Awesome style, Great music but no sound effects, very smooth animation skills(FBF techniques).

N-E-R-D responds:

Thanks a lot! This is our first submission into Newgrounds and the only animation that we've actually completed, so we're really happy that it turned out this well. Have a great Non-Denominational Winter Festivus!

[Fuzz's Purple and lime]

Good job

You did a pretty good job on this. The graphics were nice and the undetailed background suited the characters nicely. The style was good as well. The characters are unique and very well animated. The music fitted the animation well but the lack of sound effects lowered the sound's score. It would have been great if you would have added sounds, squishy sounds for the blob characters, and some kind of explosion sound for when the tank fired. It was still kind of short, but it improved greatly over the length of the first one you made. Overall, nice job on this and good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Good graphics, great style, suitable music, but there was a lack of sound effects, so-so on length of movie.

[White Tale]

Awesome Movie

Congratulations, you did a very superb job on this. The graphics were excellent. They were very well drawn and shaded and blurred. Great job on those. The style was great as well. You didn't need words to explain what was happening in the animation. The expressions on the man's face said it all. Awesome job on that as well. The sound was extremely well executed. The music was great and set the mood for the movie. Although there were some akward moments were the animation was left without sound. There was also a lack of sound effects. (Like when the man got hit by a snowball.) This animation had a great message as well. You executed the message great by making this animation. The one thing I didn't really like was the abrupt ending. It ended suddenly. Other than that, it was great. You have a lot of talent animation wise and you should use it to make other great submissions. Again, very nice job on this and good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Awesome graphics and style, Great use of music, Very nice theme and message, akward at sometimes, great use of animation skills.

[- Life of a Sniper -]

Very Nice

The buildings and the sniper gun were drawn very well. The blood was drawn nice as well. Although the concept wasn't very original, I liked the fact that you executed the concept very well. The sound was heard crystal clear and was therefore great. It was a very good choice in not adding in music because the music would have interfered with the mood of the animation. The violence was drawn and animated very well. Another great thing to this was the Sniper Gun's beam. It was very well animated. Great job on that. The only flaw I found in this submission was the lack of length. It was very short and therefore could have been made longer. Overall, great job on your first submission and good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Nice Graphics, good style, Crystal clear sound, Violence executed very well, movie is lacking on length.

[fuel for the people]

Very nice Style

This was a great animation, featuring originality and a great style. But, as many others reviewers might have said, it definetly needs sound. It would greatly enhance the movie experience and it's quality. The graphics were very well drawn and animated. The style was awesome as well. Humor wise, well it had a witty plot but wasn't quite funny. On your next episode, it would be great choice to add some kind of sound, (Background music, sound effects, or voice overs.) Other than that, very nice job. Good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Great graphics and style, nice storyline/plot, add sound next time.

[fuzz's green + pink]

Great FBF skills

But otherwise, too short. The graphics were average. The drawings of the blobs were alright. What made this movie great was the style. Although the concept of two individuals fighting isn't very original, the style of the characters made up for it. The music, should I say, fitted the animation nicely. The reason the sound category is so low is for the fact that there weren't any sound effects. Next time, try adding some sound effects such as a sound for the rocket and some squishy sounds for the blobs. Again, the animation was done very smoothly and keep up the great work. Good luck on your future submissions.

Summary Points: Add sound effects, make it a little bit longer, Great style, Nice drawings.
