SketchMichaels's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[a hamster's revenge]

Perfect 10!

That was hilarious! Nice drawings, great animation, love the background when he's running... simple but effective. Well-done, I loved it :)

[Ah! Mr. Schultz! - 01]

Very nice.

I love the style of this animation. I think what makes it successful is not necessarily the element of surprise... it's the casual attitude the guy has the whole while, and how he is so calm and collected about the ordeal.

If you want to run with this series, I say go for that; place him in rather chaotic or normally highly emotional situations (where one would not keep a cool head), and have him just go about his business of kicking butt and taking names as if it's an everyday ordeal.

For example, I remember the Warner Brothers and Hanna Barbara cartoons back in the day, when they'd have the little duckling/puppy/baby/etc. in a busy construction yard, or a dangerous highway scene... and they would act like everything was perfectly normal.

That, in my opinion, as how to approach this, if you were to make it a series. Nice job.

cheers mate, good solid points.

[A Tribute To Fred Rogers]

Very touching.

That was a beautiful tribute to Fred Rogers. He was a brother of Phi Mu Alpha, and we dressed up the Friday after he passed away, and draped a black ribbon over our pins, in his memory. There are so many people he touched, and he made such a difference. I'm glad that you made this for him.

[.:The Dream:.]

Ooh!

I remember Blast Bros. from www.shockanime.com. This look really slick, look forward to seeing more! Nice animation, cool concept, overall great look, yep.

[A Postal Event : Foamy The Squirrel]

I liked this one...

... it was a little predictable, but it had a few chuckles built in there, too. Nice job.

[Miracle Explosion-Ep#06]

Nice...

...hey, that was pretty slick. Nice animation, good action. Looks like I'm going to have to watch the other ones now :)

[I Love Egg ep.7]

Cute and cool at the same time.

Egg is in!

[I Love Egg ep.6]

I love these things :)

Usually, cute is corny. But this fun cute :)

[WorldWar II 1944 preview]

Interesting design.

I really like your backgrounds, especially how you really tear into them with explosions, bullet ricochets, etc. If you're looking for help, I'd be interested.

[Jamurai: The Return]

Uggh

I like these cartoons, but I think this is a cheap way to get hits to your site. Did this take, what, maybe six hours?

I'm kind of disappointed... good style and all, but I've seen teasers longer than this, with a lot more effort put into them.

dreadslick responds:

I like how you equate 6 hours with cheap. my guess is you don't get paid much for an hours work. But I digress. Given your profile and your portfolio, I can't say I'm upset or surprised by your review.
But thanks anyway.
