ucantbeme's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pencilmation lost episode creepypasta!! (parody)]

Really great and expressive animation, but I think your next animation would be improved with a bit more attention to and time spent on sound design. You would be surprised at how much it can add to a cartoon.

[Video Gamerz -Episode 1-]

O_o Wowza that wuz teh epiczords!!!1!!
I'm always fascinated by old high-effort flashes that make up for lack of polish with length and passion, and this is definitely on the higher tier of those I've seen. This is so old that a proper review seems silly, but honestly, everything "bad" about this flash only adds to how much I appreciate it. So, I just want to say this made me very happy lol

Here for a reminder of the original Newgrounds crasher. Still impressive.

[Friday Night Rockin]

Let me reason with you.

I'm really disappointed in your ability to not listen to anything at all.

You have two people who have successfully made a career out of animation, joke telling, and design, and these are the two people you're adamantly choosing not to listen to.

I just think you genuinely don't understand anything about direction, story telling, character development, or visual design, but you're convinced that you do.

Your colors suck. Since the first time I ever talked to you I told you your colors suck and they still do. It's not a choice, it's not a "style," they're ugly. There's no harmony. I can't even describe where to start because it's all so wrong. Please paint or... something. Just get a handle on some color theory somehow, read some books, watch Thundercats.

Your characters are 2 dimensional and I find no joy in watching them. Okay, I get it, that was your choice. Great, but it's still boring. I could choose to put dogshit in a soup because it was my intention but it's still going to be disgusting soup. I find your characters' snarky archetypal "personalities" an embarrassing chore to sit through and I think a little humanizing and something any audience can relate to would add to them greatly. Also motivation helps. And backstory. Who are these people? What do they want? What do they like? Why should I like them?

The story... my god, what is even happening? Typically you set up some kind of clear conflict or motivation for the characters right away but, I don't know, nobody seemed to be attempting to accomplish something and none of the characters aahsdhgjhsgljh THIS MOVIE IS A MESS.

But look, I get everything you're trying to do, honestly I do, but you're failing at all of it. Clearly you wanted to write an engaging story and you failed. Clearly you wanted to make likeable characters and you failed. Clearly you wanted to have an appealing "style" that RPG fans can appreciate and you failed.

Your biggest problem is you can't even grasp the concept that you may be really bad at all the things you're trying to do "on purpose" and you're writing any criticism off as people just not getting it: it's not "our thing." Take a step back and realize that there are some people who deserve to be listened to because they know what the fuck they're talking about. They're not being mean, they're just being honest.

[Fresh and Funky]

This is one of those animations I watch again and again. Thank goodness Newgrounds added a frame scrubber so I can uncover the secrets to your mesmerizing movement. There are so many things I love about this, that I find it hard to even pinpoint a favorite moment. Reminds me of a DS game in the best way possible.

my dsi was my first dive into animation

[Week 6 Alternate Ending]

I really love the way you managed to translate the characters from the pixelated style. Also love that Senpai's game over screen is pink

ChromaCee responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

[Fridaynightfunkin animation + Credits]

Might have just been my wifi, but it seemed a little low res, which was a shame considering how good the art is. Other wise, it really reminded me of old Flipnote animations, which I am very fond of. I love how you included a bonus picture as well.

Atara-Parakitty responds:

I tried to fix it but no matter what I do it came out like that I'm so sorry

[Swivel]

I would have listened but u hurt my ears. The one day I wear headphones too...

[Loose Ends: Eye on the Comet]

This one had a really cool nighttime vibe to it that differentiated it from the others. It's really cool how each episode has its own identity to it while staying consistent in world and characterization. The ending felt a little strangely paced, but the chill atmosphere radiated throughout the rest of the animation made any otherwise awkward moments pacing wise feel more at home. It felt like a breather from the tones of the others, which weren't particularly hectic, but this was welcome all the same. :)

What's the deal with all the vore game shows? lol
