CrimsonKero's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghoultown - I am the Undead | Music Video]

One of the most brilliant and professional music videos I've ever seen on Newgrounds. Really captured the feel of the original song.

[Troyal of the Century]

Very well written, save for a few not-too noticeable flaws.

First, the voices were almost all spot-on, notably Phil Hartman's characters (of course), though the impressions of Wiggum, Fat Tony, Moe, and other minor characters weren't that accurate.

The concept of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz sharing a story together is interesting, but never explored in the actual show, mainly due to Phil Hartman's murder and the characters' subsequent retirement. Despite that, you definitely made it work. Some might say you belong on the actual Simpsons writing team, but in reality, you're probably too good for them.

Maybe they borrowed a bit too much from the "A Fish Called Selma", especially when the dolphin is revealed to be able to talk/sing.

Overall, a brilliant Simpsons parody that harkens back to its golden years.

[Sonic at the Races]

The cars look like blobs, and not necessarily good blobs. The background keeps shifting around,
Overall incredibly janky and jittery.

Jibberuski responds:

Yeah, 12-year-old me wasn't good with cars, and 42-year-old me wanted to add inbetweens but stay faithful to my old work, so the cars morph around.

[Ai ADOPTiON Gen-A 1.0]

So, what exactly is the aim of this movie?

wad247 responds:

Only have a rough idea at the moment.
Will develop it, maybe create a short demo.

[Melina’s Accord]

It's 1 second long, looped to 7 seconds, and very barely animated, what else am I supposed to say, aside from it being copied from a previous animation.

[Eszett]

I'm gonna tell everyone this was part of the Alphabet Lore series.

[[Deal in Happiness] Episode 1]

upvoted because cat

[Stupid Mindless Brothaz: Toad's Encounter]

Came for the Toad gags, stayed for the overly long outro.

RareKirby responds:

the outro the main course

[NOT SAFE TO TRICK OR TREAT]

Good job.

Though not without its flaws, this is a very enjoyable "cute spooky" (in a good way) movie, with an interesting concept and plot, nice (albeit rushed) artwork, and the fact you got your nephew to voice the trick-or-treater at the end is a really cute addition too.

However, there wasn't much animation, mostly special effects I could've done in OpenShot or some other video editor. I know you only had a week to finish this, possibly less, so I can mostly forgive this.

I also found the voices painful to listen to: it keeps clipping, especially when it's loud. The laughter and at the very end, the "or DIE" bit are both very good (or bad) examples.
Your voice is good, and your nephew's didn't clip at all, but for future reference, consider paying attention to how much the audio is gaining during recording, use a limiter, and balance things up in post-production.
