Eastbeast's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Partners in Mime]

I loved this, great work.

[Gigi]

I missed the Debut! I wanted to see it the moment you uploaded it and be the first vote : <

Anyway, like I told you before I love the Gigi aesthetic. The colors have definitely grown on me since the beginning, as well as the character designs. The dark purples really add to the creepy vibe. The motions, as well as the character movements show you've got some good Frame by frame going like I've said before. I liked the gravity when Golly jumps down from Gigi's shoulder is really nice and bouncy.

Extras were a nice touch too. I don't see many flashes here surprisingly that display concept art and sketches, even alternate auditions by voice actress. I can tell a lot of heart went into this mate

Good work : >

Budj responds:

Thank you kindly! Yeah, there were no tweens in this. I dunno if people noticed or not lol.

[Twiple Twouble]

I remember reading the comic book back in the day for "Triple Trouble." It would have been cool to see some of that graphic novel acted out, but you put some effort into this and at least referenced Nack the Weasel for old times sake. Some tips on the animation, maybe try fewer textures for background art, too many can get kind of distracting and messy, but the right amount looks cool. Also Dr. Eggman or "Robotnik" as he was referred to in the comics could have used a few more mouths for lip sync.

Keep working on stuff. I think you can have some good f x f going for future submissions. Maybe get a bit more creative with the jokes, instead of the more overused "Sonic games suck now" ones.

[The Moon Guardian]

Overall good effort but a dull experience.

Pacing in the character movements sort of bothered me. in the beginning, you had what was suppose to be a very dramatic scene, but the way the characters moved, talked, even blinked was awkwardly mixed with the context, almost as if it was meant to be a comedy. This sort of deshuffled the flash a bit, even while the script was functioning on a higher level than the other art. Not to say the art was bad, but it was blandish and fell somewhere between a naive color pallet and trying-but-not-knowing how to be dark. Like a Disney channel cartoon meets an dark fantasy-R.L. Stine book(?) This I believe was also transferred into the story-- bluntly being subtle became overly bland. Therefore interacting with the characters became difficult, and what should have been you conveying who they were with little dialog characterized them through the animation as dimensionless.

It seems like you found someone who can write dialog, but try listening to the story better and find your own style among countless other forgettable fables that reflect something worth saying, inspiring a different tradition than good vs evil every single full moon. Critical it may seem, but good for a child's drama not a serious one, which I believe was trying to be attempted.

Nice music, voice acting, sound effects otherwise.

Tyler responds:

Sorry there weren't enough ninteno sprite rip-offs for you.

[Missing Mushrooms]

Really creative. The inventiveness of the trolls was hilarious. I didn't expect much at first but I came to enjoy the animation. Good work

[Stainville Episode 2]

At first I missed the old animation because of how hilarious the character used to look, although now the improvements made it into an entirely different comedy in a great way and they are still hilarious.

I'll take one of those You've just gotta believe shirts now

Alpha-Nuva responds:

those shirts cost like, 20 bucks. until we can get a cheaper deal, idt it's worth it. and they only come in white.

[Goldeen Loves Guitar]

Then animation was tasty good. Especially the way you paid homage to the episode animation but added your own thing. :) At first I was confused why the camera was on Goldeen while they were talking for so long but it had a cute punchline. The Jack Johnson line made me laugh and reminded me of a friend I know.

Dim the lights is a cool effect on this, I should do that more often while watching flashes, great work :)
