Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frosty the...]

Nice joke

Well set up, nice punchline and a good lack of morality - I like it.

I'm not exactly sure about your animation style, as the snowman just looked too weird with his stubble growing over his chin like that. I think that the other names for the drugs were well thought out and you certainly delivered the punchline with a killer instinct.

Maybe it should have been longer when you went over the addictions of the other people in the toon, as it might have been able to take this piece further.

I did have plans on involving the Grinch smoking Pine, but I just decided to scrap that and submit the animation like this, but thanks for the review. I could have work a little bit harder on the animation to extend the addictions and improve Jack Frost's part. Anyways once again thanks for the review, I'll those in mind.

[The 3 Second Collab]

The Good, The Bad and the 3 Second Collab...

Well, with a collab like this one, you're going to get a real mixed bag of stuff. I would suggest that you at least try to get all of the collab pointed in the same direction for the pieces, as with 3 seconds per segment, you can add them together and make some good stuff, by two, three, or even more artists.

So there were some good gags and some bad gags and even a few downright awful segments, that really shouldn't have made it past editing. You've gone for 2-3 loops of the main tune, but you could have cut a few scenes out, giving you a better rounded submission, that reflects the abilities of the truly talented among you.

[The Unfinished Collab]

Quality work

I think what this piece shows is that not everyone's taste can be accounted for in certain submissions to this, along with the problems faced by promising artists who provide parts for collabs, which never get finished. I think that the way that you've layed it out is nice, but I would suggest that you take a little more time on the layout - you could provide a title for the piece, with the author, but then have a 'synopsis' and play button, so people who want to know the information can see it there and then, rather than having it there anyway.

Also, I would have loved a scene select menu, as this would allow me to revisit excellent pieces, like the last one - it was so simply done that it deserved a second watch, but I wasn't really enamoured with watching the whole thing a second time.

Good work, if any of you get that many pieces, you could submit your own collab works as a demo submission, so that you can showcase your work and hopefully get more from it.

Insanimation responds:

Thanks for the review.

I was originally planning to do a Scene Select, but in the end, there was already problems with the space, so I thought that that would probably completely ruin it...

[Rubiks Cube]

Nice work

This piece is a little cryptic - much like the Rubik's cube itself :P

I like the way that the animation of the character looks so basic, but so effective. Hell, he isn't even wearing any clothes, but it's not as if you'd really notice such a thing.

With the way it works, I'd have thought that he could have at least manipulated the cube a little, before it transmuted into the birthday greeting message.

It's a little short, but quite a sweet little flash. Good work.

ChillyCheese responds:

Yeah, a lot of people say that, and a lot of people are right. He definitely should have messed around the the cube. Thanks for the review.

[Ghost Motel 4 Outtakes]

Interesting

A short mickey take from your own previous episode. A shame that you couldn't provide us with some out takes from episodes 1-3, as that would have given much more depth in the whole series.

With the way that it's shaping up, the series is in full flow now, though I would like to see more development of the plot and what becomes of Tabitha when episodes 5 and 6 come around.

The usual sound issues here, where the voices are a little too quiet for some of the pieces of music and there's a little static on them, so maybe slightly further away from the mic or reduce the record sensitivity on the mic next time.

Violet-AIM responds:

We were thinking about doing outtakes with other ones aswell, just never got around to it.

[-Broken-]

A little short...

Not a bad piece - it really has got some great potential, which revolves around the poignancy of the situation, though I would have certainly appreciated it being a good few minutes longer, you can then take the situation a lot further.

Certainly a good start and with a start like that, it has a lot of potential for greatness.
