DarkFoxFurre's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LoL: Oh Yes And Spiders]

Wow

Holy hell that was long. When I saw "14 hour production" I was expecting something maybe two minutes long. But this kept going and going. There's not that many decently made sprite animations anymore, much less those with token video game characters. I was very pleased to watch this and I enjoyed it greatly.

Emptygoddess responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry that the name of the made up production company gave you the wrong impression.

[To The Moon!]

Very enjoyable

My only suggestion is for the ending scene where the astronaut gives a thumbs up, that you show the golf ball they just hit flying towards the Earth.

orb responds:

You know what that's a really good idea :) We never thought of that, and I've never heard anyone else suggest that.

[HK's Phoenix Wrong]

Very Good.

I really enjoyed this flash movie. And I completely agree, 4kids entertainment is a garbage company. When they dub over anime, they always change words around and completely americanize it. They can take a decent anime, which could be targeted at an older audience, and make it seem like it was made for toddlers.

Anyways, the animation and the audio was fit together very well. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

HibiscusKazeneko responds:

Actually, there have been some instances in which 4Kids made something look or sound dirtier than it originally was (e.g. Sonic X, where Eggman yells "Put me down! You've got me hung like a salami!")
They're always seeking to make anime fans miserable. I'm planning a satire Flash. Keep your eyes peeled.

[Be Sprited]

Pretty Funny

I liked it. Where did you get the "shut up" sound from? Sounds kinda like Adam Sandler.

rebaz responds:

somewhere from the internet xD

[Super Mario- Japan]

Not bad

The animation and sound syncing was pretty good. The voive acting-eh.. Not so much.. If you're having trouble reciting something, PRACTICE IT FIRST. Otherwise it sounds like you're just saying every consinant on its own, and that's really distracting..

MetalDart responds:

lol I know but its hard.

[Mario's Blocks]

Very well done!

Been a while since I've reviewed a flash, but- Your sprite animation was very fluent, you put the sound together very well and the background music matched what was going on. The spoken voices for some of the mario situations didn't really seem to fit, though. Granted, I know they weren't -supposed- to sound like mario, but they just seemed out of place. You did a very excellent job with the ion cannon.

You did ESPECIALLY well with the Fulp Bots. To be honest, I think you should do more work focusing on the Fulp Bots, and maybe even the bowser smiley bot. You could turn that into a very epic battle, and the music you put with it fit exceedingly well. The blood raining down when the Wade Bot landed was a nicely added effect (with mario falling over abnd rolling). The Bots' laughing was also done very nicely.

All in all, this flash was very nicely done. It edged into a climax and left me wanting for more. I expect to see your work again. And I'd very much like to see the Fulp Bots return-- That was the best part.

Thanks,
Dark Fox

UberAoC responds:

I see- you haven't written a review in months! Glad that you've decided to leave me one!

I've worked with sprites for a while now; this is my first sprite animation I actually thought worthy of hitting Newgrounds. Definitely had some practice!

I'm glad you liked the sounds too! They are all actually offset in the flash document themselves, set off by up to 15 frames in some scenes. The compression into a .swf file was causing extreme audio lag with the video, so manual offsetting was required. That's also why I'm having such a hard time trying to do a scene select- the amount of audio lag keeps changing! Well, I'm glad that it works and, so far, there's no complaints! That's good!

The spoken voices, like EVA announcing the Ion Cannon satellite and it's approaching vector? Considering the limited sound capacity of the SNES, that does sound odd, doesn't it? Never really thought about it until now... Oh, and speaking of which, I'm glad that you liked the Ion Cannon scene! Thanks!

The FulpBots are examples of my best work to date! Every time the camera changes over to them, they are smoothly animated frame by frame at 24 fps. Very hard guys to animate, yet the end result always looks great.

Hey, that would be cool to feature more work with them in it! Making an entire flash all about them would be cool. You'd have to consider, though, that they are bent on violence- it'd make one... edgy... flash, to say the least.

I was going for more of a "dirt raining down from the sky because of the incredible amount of force he landed with" look, but blood sounds cool too!

Yeah, I'll try to feature the FulpBots in future works. They'll probably be used in cameos and whatnot, but I'll use 'em again!

I will release more work soon! Thanks for the very well thought out review!

[Fred the Notable Monkey]

Decent flash

Stop whining. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. If you want to be noted in something for artists, make your OWN website. Or better yet, give me the cash and I'll do it for you.

JKR responds:

I'm certainly not whining. I am merely standing up for the belief that I don't think Wikipedia has any right to treat people the way they do. Not me, everyone. To tell someone that they "fail" as your means of saying "This is not large enough to be shown on Wikipedia" is rude and cold hearted. Have a little more compassion towards your fellow human beings, please Wikipedia. I don't care if I'm noted in anything, because I do the cartoons just to make other people happy. I'm not after shrines errected to me. I simply do not like the way they are doing things at Wikipedia.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and glad you liked the cartoon okay.

[There somthin about Ninja]

haw

It wasn't graphically intense, but it had effort into it. It was enough to not get tired of it halfway through the movie. And just to note, a ninja's wakizashi is a straight blade, it isn't curved.

TX2 responds:

are you against ninja's using Pirate Cutlesses?

[Lina the VAMPIRE Ep. 2]

very interesting...

The movie was nicely animated, and it looked very good. What I found most interesting is that none of the Japanese fit the subtitles. Very interesting to summon ninjas by stating 'deliscious'.

Macaroni-Penguin responds:

It works out pretty well when the viewer doesn't know a hint of Japanese. I can't believe how badly I pronounced everything back then. I'm surprised at how many people who watch this cartoon actually know the language, though.

[Run Piggy Run]

decent flash

This reminds me of that game 'Virtual Bart' for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). There is a level where you're a pig and have to escape a slaughter house.

Gregg-Dix responds:

Really? Crazy, I'll have to try that game.
