strandbeest's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chibi Awesome]

Ummm...yeah...

...I don't get it. I know this is done in the vein of those AWESOME cartoons, but I don't get what you're mocking here. Of course, you don't really need to know the source material to enjoy those cartoons, so even then I should be laughing at this, but I'm not. You need to establish the norm in the beginning of the cartoon a bit more before you bring in the over-the-top madness.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

All Hail Bitey of Brackenwood!

This is super exciting, to have all the shorts tied together in such a meaningful way. I read on your website that you wanted to make a real story out of Brackenwood, but I thought I might have to wait longer for it. Thanks for proving me wrong.
If it's not already obvious, I'm a big admirer of your work. You're the guy I point to whenever people say all flash cartoons are about is stick figures, penises and sprites. You've inspired me to learn flash and, with any luck, my first cartoon will be finished before the new year. Keep up the fantastic work!

[complete garbage]

Fun...

Best new flash I've seen today. Catchy tune too. Looking forward to your next one!

[The Statues]

Seems familiar...

I think I heard it in the form of a bar joke or something like that. Those kind of things never get old!

[James]

Less, A LOT less, than stellar...

...but what was there was nicely animated. I expect better things from you in the future.

[Pico Gets Blammed]

Nene FTW!

Figured she'd knife what's-his-name in the back there. I was hoping she'd still make P-bot shoot Pico anyway. I think it would've been funny.

Comick responds:

haha I ALMOST did that...with Nene killing him...but the music ran out so I couldn't fit it in. Maybe next time :b

[Pico's space adventure]

Makes me wanna get high...

...it's just to bad that I'm out.

[Ryu's Revenge]

TO BE CONTINUED?!

Aw, c'mon, not fair! That cartoon's buildup was too classy for it to end with a cliffhanger like THAT. I was just to laugh at the anime fighting cliche's you were mocking, and I want more nonsense just like them!

["Strange Fruit"]

That was pretty damn deep...

A great use of the Jaws theory of horror; the less we see, the more our minds fill in the blanks, and what we imagine is always more horrifying than what any single person can create. The monochromatic animation is also a great touch, a nice visual metaphor for those who only see things in black and white.
I feel the need to take a walk.

[A Bid For Freedom]

Wow...just...wow...

This is the last thing I expected to find on Newgrounds. I want more! The whole thing reminds me of Braid a bit, the main character being an unassuming suited bloke trying to get his girl back from an oaf. Great prose and watercolors on every page, this deserves the first place spot!
