CroutonsOfDeath's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lament for a Toy Factory]

Good, but flawed

I liked it, but it is flawed. The animation, while good, could've used some improved drawings/artwork. To make a flash look good you've gotta have those two work together, and the art was sometimes inconsistent; even if the animation itself was smooth.

But my biggest issue is the volume. I'm partially deaf, so I usually don't have the right to whine about this and I usually expect to watch a flash twice so I can catch everything, unless it has subtitles. However, something sounded off and I was pretty sure it wasn't my ear, so I got my wife to watch. She said she felt the same way, the music was too loud and it drowned out the singing.

Neither of us could really makeout all that he was saying because it was drowned out by the music. I still haven't caught all that he has said. But regardless, at least its a flash that does warrant multiple viewings. I liked the idea, I liked the character, and it was an entertaining little flick.

[The Mockingbird Song]

Very Good

I liked it a lot. Kind of Nostalgic, both in the bedtime story style and a sort of 50's Cartoon/Art Deco vibe to the visuals. It was well written and you have a very nice reading voice; definitely not a bad one to hear a tale from as a kid. Plus Vampires are always a plus... well, the *real* vampires anyways.

Overall very good, I also got a smile after the end. The music was nice too, a bit calming.

[Q For Cucumber. pt1]

You win again you mad genius you

What a great way to start my day. I love the way you drew a lot of the characters in this, those bizarre and surrealistic yet undeniably hilarious body shapes that keep changing and have a habit of looking dried out. An interesting caricature :P

Anyways, Chie & I both loved it! I shall see you later.

[Leo & Satan]

This made my day

I detest Sundays, so thanks for this it made my day. I never knew me & Satan had so much in common and the ending was fucking awesome. I think Satan having such a silly voice throughout the most of the film kinda doubled the funny of the ending xP

[The Clown Downstairs]

How very Burroughs of you

I'm not sure what to really say, as my summary title suggests I found this to be very William S. Burroughs and its kinda hard to explain some of his more obscure work. What I can say, I freakin' loved it. For your first flash, the animation is EXTREMELY impressive, I would find it hard to believe that you haven't had experience animating in other fields because this is higher quality detail than most artists.

Very creepy and entertaining, none the less

JohnDavidHeptinstall responds:

Thanks very much, I like Burroughs work! - glad you were entertained

[LARRY episode 1.5]

Funny

I haven't actually seen Episode 1... probably should, but I got a kick out of this flash. :D Especially being in Utah, I loved all the Mormon jokes :P

Although, like most people here, I also loved the scene with the monks xP Fake latin chanting + Internet meme = win

One thing that did bother me was the chainmail... I don't know why but it hurt my eyes, was it intentionally made to look like it was crawling of its own volition in motion?

Regardless, pretty funny :3

[TmsT's "Spy & Pyro"]

Epic

I won't lie... I'm a TF2 nerd so this made me happy. The animation was pretty good even if it took a second to adjust to seeing the Pyro's gasmask animate facial expressions. Plenty of good gags, and you actually made the now very old and unfunny "Spyro" joke funny again... as well as surprisingly cute.

Good job, mate :D Fav'd.

[Don't Sleep, Robby!]

I love these guys

I love these guys. Been following you for awhile after TWHYlight and Half-Beard. You guys are pretty funny. I love the commentary as well, being partially deaf subtitles really help me so I don't have to blow my good ear out just to hear what everyone is saying, so its nice that I also get the treat of your commentary. However, the BRACKETMAN DOES NOT CONTROL ME!

Bracketman! I have escaped your mighty power. Although I will agree, at least dial up did sound cool. XP Keep up the good work, mates.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Bracketman will get you, all in good time... ah hahaha...
Thanks for watching!

[Burnt Face Man 9]

Yay!

I've missed this bloke for awhile now. Your "Dark" stuff is great, but I'd be lying if I said Burnt Face Man was my favourite of yours. Great comeback :D
