Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[one idea! by Zez Vaz]

Well,

Thank you for the surrealism displayed here in this random, yet quite catchy flash.

I was impressed with the use of colour and the whole extortion of the flying pig metaphor. It does have aspects that it is totally random and that the flash isn't really going anywhere and I would love to see this taken into something that encorporates the whole tune, rather than just a fast paced instrumental, but hey, it's a start.

The drawing of the guy is quite neat - no outlines and the whole effect of him was kind of Emo Manga. I think that the next way to take this is to add a face, as characters like that do look kind of freaky without facial features of any description. With your drawing style, I'd have thought they would present no trouble to you.

I look forward to future submissions.

thank you for your comment!
actually yes, i would love to pick this story idea up in the future and add more interesting looks to it!
that's no drawing skills at all! the character is actually me! i preformed those movements and asked mom to film me! i picked some essencial frames in photoshop and traced vectors in macromedia freehand! the only thing i draw was the hair and the reason it covers most of the face was to keep it simple and not having to make any facial feature and to add movement given by the wind! so that kinda explains it :)

thanks for the interest! i am working on new, more elaborate stuff right now, so i'll be posting soon!
take care!

[Pooh - It Had to be Done]

It's true

I'm glad that you did this - the abomination of a Disney corporate image that was once a decently useable image created by a wonderful author as a story for his child. The bigotry and capitalism has gone too far and finally someone has made a stand to stop it.

Unfortunately, it appears that someone has discovered that Pooh is a Were-Bear. Now he's going to come after everyone and go on some sort of Zombified killer rampage against all those who would conspire against his capitalist image.

Yes, so the audio quality has been problematic, but that's the only major issue. You've given a very good attempt at putting up some fine animation, but I'd reccomend that you zoom in more to get better control of the drawing tool, to round off the images more and tidy the whole picture up nicely.

If there's going to be a sequel, I must see it, as I'm really interested as to how this will play out.

[Zelda: The future of time]

Interesting Stuff

This flash hasn't got the best animation in the world, but it worked as highly servicable, which is good enough for me. The plotline was there, well written, but a little vague in places. Maybe you should have had Link do some talking, just to lighten the mood. I've never seen him as a character that just works well with slapstick.

Some of the animated areas need a little more work - for example, he looked as if it were a foregone conclusion about the drawbridge falling on him before the shadow had even started to cross him. From the rest of his portrayal in this, he's not as bright as to work out that the drawbridge is about to land on him - otherwise he'd have moved out of the way, yes?

If he could look a little more unconcious when he was being dragged through the city streets, it would be nice - maybe a black eye, since he's just had a few tonnes of oak dropped on his head, so make him look a little fed up, perhaps.

I'd look at the audio you used in places, it's a little low on quality and the effect isn't the one that I would want to put across to the viewer. A little less static would certainly help matters.

I'm looking forward to the second one and will lend my thoughts once it is released.

[A Sore Splat]

Nice work

Just a little unsure if this is your own work, as it says it was created by Doc Frankenstein and that's not the name of this new account, despite the name apparently being available.

The artwork is good, complete with the lazy flapping of the pigeon's wings. Hardly an in depth study, but it's so true about the way those little bastards fly - they shouldn't be able to, frankly!

The musical arrangement for the flash was nice, sounding a little like a proper 1920s silent movie, but brought to us in glorious colour and slapstick. I loved the way that the face of the young lad changed so subtly and yet so effortlessly.

This flash could quite easily escalate into something much bigger, as the proliferation of arms between small children and pigeons grows steadily out of control. Cue the kid with a shotgun, as the pigeons call in a cow to dump on his head.

Hello, Just want to make sure I clarify,
My name is Franky
Frankenstein, is me! This would be my work. Thanks for your comment.

[Kingo the viking]

Good fun

A good quality animation that explores the more... violent side of the Scandinavian race. Although he looks more like the stereotypical dwarf than the typical viking that I've come to know - tall, muscular, blonde flowing locks and a disposition towards pillaging and other... wholesome tasks.

I'm sure there's more scope for this guy visiting other places and experiencing the delights of things like sports and the shopping mall, as they are always fun places and activities to enjoy for all the family
