CaseyAnimates's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Man Man 2]

Awesome new cartoon!

Way to go for all of you guys! Who doesn't love a good mini-skits collaboration every now and then, huh? I'll tell ya' who. Nobody.

Art direction was improved from the other works, totally! Good blurs and shading effects, with some nice linear colors that didn't go too overboard, and the characters look as nice as they have ever looked! Great improvement, guys!

Ideas? Yeah, you've got some pretty good ones, but not all were as good as some of them. Then again, when you've got a collaboration going on, you can't ask for a perfectly equal skit set, can you? So congrats on most of them, anyways!

Sound was ok. I wish it was a higher quality, which I'm sure it can be. Judging by the short megabite size, I'm sure you could've sneaked in some higher quality. The loop went on for a bit longer then I care for, I'll tell ya' that. Not that it's a terrible loop, but please cut it off at some part. The voice acting was ok, but, yet again, yer' gonna' need a higher quality sound export if you want others to think so, too.

The biggest critique I have you guys, however, is not that you guys are bad animators or anything, oh no, because that's far from it, I think. The problem is the reliability of internet fads and internet jokes. While a few here and there are fine, people 20 years from now are not going to get the jokes, and when most of the flash consists of the internet fads and such, it's going to lose much of it's flavor.

Overall, ignoring my critiques (sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings here), I was actually very impressed from beginning to end! The improvement is right in my face, and I can see that you guys worked several hours into it! Nice work, and keep it up, because it'll just get better from here!
5 outta' 5 and 9 outta' 10!
GREAT JOB!!

OnionsXD responds:

Wow BoneHead you must be renowned for leaving the world's best reviews ever! :D
About the sound thing the settings for some reason were set on sound quality fast but I've changed it to Best so I'll get around to uploading the new version with higher sound quality. I'll make sure not to make the same mistake twice! This by far is one of the best reviews I've seen!

[Glass of Water]

Very Nice Work!

This is some great stuff! You have some great potential here!

Animation was nice and clean! The frame by frame is everywhere, and the characters look pretty nice for the most part. I can see that you put a lot of time and effort into this project, so keep up the good work on your art, and it'll only get better!

Sound FX could use some work however. Some of the FX ended too fast and didn't blend in with the rest of the sound, and the voice got a little out of sync at times. The voice quality seems okay, but it could be better, too. If you fix up those details, then you got some yourself a heck of a nice flash.

One more critique, however, is how you display the ideas going on in yer' head. Sometimes throughout the flash, there were points where I thought that you understood perfectly what was going on, but we only got an idea of the plot. However, I like how you twisted the plot into making a seemingly easy and simple task into a treacherous idea, and that, in my opinion, is some serious fun to mess around with!

Overall, I definitely liked the flash, and was glad to see what yer' capable of. You definitely exceeded my expectations, that's for sure. Keep up the great work with this series!

GOOD JOB!!

OnionsXD responds:

WOW! Thanks for the fantastic review! It really helps.

lol maybe I shouldn't finish cartoons anymore while staying up at 5:00 in the morning hyped up on soda.
SoundFX i realized were a little more in need but i was in a rush to finish it which was wrong of me... So future i will be no longer rushed.

I'm working on plot more seriously on my next cartoon and I have high hopes for this next one! =P

[Ooohhh! Pantalones!]

Hahaha! That dog and his shenanigans.

This was hilarious for no reason other than just how cliche it was!

Animation was, as always by you, very nice indeed! Very nice frame by frame animation and very colorful!

Concept was hilarious! Going through 2 required Spanish classes, they would always show us these corny videos to teach you the junk that they gotta' teach. This hit the nail perfectly, and yeah, for the most part, the spanish is fine...I think, but it's still cheesy as hell.

Overall, great! Really funny stuff!
5 outta' 5 and 10 outta' 10!
GREAT JOB!!

TheBoogley responds:

You get it! :D
Some people were really confused by it... which was even funnier :3

[Tarboy]

The best flash on this site. PERIOD.

Amazing. Jaw dropping. One of a kind. All of these words can describe this flash.

Animation wise, it was brilliant! Such colorful animation! Reminds me of something that Pixar would make, and that's a HUGE compliment. The style is perfect, the art is flawless, the 3-D was great, and everything was AMAZING. Really, I can not even imagine how long this must of taken you. You've got a gift, and it shows through this piece of work! The part with the two robots fighting in the dark was nothing short of impressive, and the beginning part of how the story starts out was, like I said, full of Pixar quality. Everything else was fantastic from start to finish! Truly, some great flash work!

Idea and plot were both great! Killer story, man! All of it worked out on all levels with some excellent story telling by the robot geezer. It was layed out in a very seamless and fluid way, with nothing getting left behind. There was nothing that was corny, cheesy, or anything else that makes you cringe, and this flash also had a perfect ending, and it could follow right into a sequel.

Sound was really sweet! The music fit perfectly with the flash! Helped the story start and end flawlessly! The voice acting was also nothing short of great! I love the robot geezer voice you got going there, and it syncs up perfectly with the character. Every other voice was killer, too!

Overall, this flash is the best flash that people are going to see for a LONG time. This has so many good features to it, I can't imagine giving this a score less than a 5, a 10, or anything else that may exist, and so far it seems to be that way with that insane score. But who's complaining? THIS FLASH RULES.
5 outta' 5, 10 outta' 10 and favorited!
FANTASTIC JOB!!!

JamesLee responds:

Hey Bonehead, thanks for taking the time to write such and in depth review. It's a huge confidence boost for us to hear such a great response!

[All Work 2008 & Before.]

Awesome Flash work, man!!

Really, some of these are great!

Animation was supurb! Some of these could do well as a normal flash alone, and almost every single one has some great frame by frame animation jobs as well! Seriously, I LOL'd a bunch at these, mostly because of how freakin' random it was all the time! Not to mention that I love that kinda' style that you use in these, and the ideas are good on some, too! You must've spent a lot of time on these!

Overall, this flash project deserves more recognition than it has at the moment, and everything looks great!

AWESOME JOB!!

Jae responds:

Thanks a lot! You're too kind!

[Please Don't Mute Me!]

Great job!!

I really liked that animation, and the song was actually pretty well done as well!

Graphic wise, it looked great! Tremendous radial and linear effects drawn to the max, and the characters themselves looked good, too! Good job!

Sound wise, I liked it quite a bit. It seems like a lot of people don't, but...I thought it was great! Really, I did! Lars freakin' rules, I guess!

Overall, great music video! I can see that you worked real hard and you deserve the best!
5 outta' 5 and 10 outta' 10!
GREAT JOB!

MarcyVF responds:

Wow thanks a lot! :) Even if many people don't like jazz or whatever they should judge the movie not that much the song.
Thankies.

[The Transformer]

As always, excellent work!

And you REALLY outdid yourself on this one!

Story was good and original! I loved how everything was set back in, "the good ol' days," (for you older turds), and...well, I liked the story! A good transformers spoof at that...really good spoof, actually!

Sound? Yer' voice acting sucks. Nah, I'm just messin' around! I love that song! Fits perfectly with this film!

Animation was what stole the show! I love how many different drawings there were! It also does some excellent motion tweens and Frame-by-frame! The drawings are better than what a lot of people could do, too, so you did a great job, here!

Overall, a fantastic flash! You rock, man!

AWESOME JOB!!

thanks dude

[Postman Tim Door No. 2]

Hey, man, good flash!

It was actually really well done for the most part!

Animation was probably the best part! Some great frame by frame and some impressively drawn backdrops were great! That's what stole the show in this flash.

Humor...well, see that's what gets me. The ending was, to be honest, just not that good, even to the point of being just plain bad. I was laughing at this for the most part until that. Is it that I don't like gore or shock value? Heck no, but it could've been pulled off better, just saying. It's a cheap laugh.

Overall, a solid flash movie! No, it's not a 10, but it's still a great movie. Good job, and congrats on the Daily First! I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for this flash. Argh.
4 outta' 5 and 8 outta' 10.
Nice job!

GotRedOnYou responds:

cheers for the lengthy review, i take your criticism but dont entirely agree. most people got along with the ida, i think id rather listen to the majority of the viewers than the minority. you may have different humour and tastes than others on here. maybe youl like the next one more. keep an eye out.

[Professor Layton pt. 5]

That was the best Proffessor Layton yet!!

Hilarious! This is definitely a must see for people who enjoy hilarity at it's most hilarious hilarity stage, 'cause it's hilarious!

Humor was brilliant! Accompanied by the perfect voice acting, there was never a part of the movie that dragged along, and that's awesome! Almost every line that comes out of one of their mouths deserves a few chuckles, and more so for a big majority of the time! Great job! You've got humor down, man!

Animation was actually very well done! Cute and simple, but fast paced and smooth. The mouths aren't synchronized worth crap, but it's hilarious how they're just scribbled on and fly across their faces!

Overall, I don't think I can laugh anymore for the night! I spent all my laughing ability on this flash, and I need some rest. Hilarious!

AWESOME JOB!!

Skaijo responds:

Yeah, it was hard to get the timing just right. Animating jokes is like being a stand up comic with a laptop. It's all the worse when you can't see your audience. So I really needed to make sure my material was funny--even to me. Which was hard because as I mix the audio together, I hear the jokes over 50 times easily. I had to take a number of days-long breaks to refreshen the comedy so I could better time the spread of humor. :3

Two things I hate most about animating is drawing fingers and lip-syncing. I've developed as an animator to avoid these things--but this Lazy style kind of takes full advantage of it.

[HappyNoodle Vs SadNoodle]

That was a flash. Holy crap, that was a flash.

Wow, man. I've never seen such a well done flash such as this! Extremely well done! I've gotta' watch it again!!

Animation wise, it was perfect! Drawings were great, and so were the characters, but what really stole the show was the flawless frame by frame animation!! I can't even imagine on how long this must've taken ya'! But, hard work equals incredible visuals, and I was blown away throughout the whole flash! Truly, amazing job!

Humor wise, it's hilarious! Mostly because of timing and visual aid, the flash made me laugh out loud several times, and the story helped along with it, too!

Sound wise, it's great! A very catchy song that fits perfectly along with the animation! Reminds me Weird Al songs, especially the one about Albakurky, or however you spell it. So, great job on that!

Overall, a truly great flash! One of the best I've seen in a while, and the one of the best anybody will ever see in a while as well! Congrats on this work and the front page and daily first (which you will get)!

5 outta' 5, 10 outta' 10 and favorited!
AWESOME JOB!!

RWappin responds:

Thanks!

I was also the one who animated those Weird Al videos, so that's probably why.
