Anonymous-Frog's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stupid Mindless Brothaz: Toad's Encounter]

Came for the Toad gags, stayed for the overly long outro.

RareKirby responds:

the outro the main course

[NOT SAFE TO TRICK OR TREAT]

Good job.

Though not without its flaws, this is a very enjoyable "cute spooky" (in a good way) movie, with an interesting concept and plot, nice (albeit rushed) artwork, and the fact you got your nephew to voice the trick-or-treater at the end is a really cute addition too.

However, there wasn't much animation, mostly special effects I could've done in OpenShot or some other video editor. I know you only had a week to finish this, possibly less, so I can mostly forgive this.

I also found the voices painful to listen to: it keeps clipping, especially when it's loud. The laughter and at the very end, the "or DIE" bit are both very good (or bad) examples.
Your voice is good, and your nephew's didn't clip at all, but for future reference, consider paying attention to how much the audio is gaining during recording, use a limiter, and balance things up in post-production.

[Power Star Tribute - SNEAK PEAK]

I'm glad the series is seeing a lot of fan-support this year, but if I have to give some advice, don't use the same music Sun used.
The original Power Star series had a lot of copyrighted music in it, including several Tekken songs, and of course, Finger 11's Good Times.

As a host of @PowerStarReanim, a collab aiming to recreate each episode from multiple contributors, we decided to replace the soundtrack in order to avoid a takedown, using both copyright-safe songs from the Audio Portal and original music I made myself.

JujojoEX responds:

Oh hey! I saw your collab! Glad you watched my animation!

I actually didn't know Newgrounds had dumb copyright policies too, thought I was safe from YouTube's annoying copyright policies, haha.

That's unfortunate.


For the full Power Star Tribute animation, I may still risk it, but thank you for letting me know!

I look forward to the second part of your reanimated collab!
Kinda wanna join, I'm not sure, considering my current PC is a potato and isn't really built for working on creative projects.

[Pomni Gets Creampied]

It's a literal creampie. Don't let the title/thumbnail fool you. It's an actual pie in the face as seen on TV.

[Hockey, Love, & GUTS!]

This is a great trailer. I'm not denying that.
An interesting plot revolving around hockey, lots of complicated action scenes, detailed frame by frame animation, sort of a blend between anime-esque proportions and the stylization of Western comic books. I can't imagine being able to make something like that in my lifetime.

However, I don't like how the way mouths are drawn. They may look too big, or placed lower compared to their eyes and nose (the noses themselves are rather big, which sometimes make their faces look derpy, although the 3 guys in 0:45 look fine.

IMO some of the special effects used throughout the trailer seem overdone, if not unnecessary. For example: the screens at 0:11, 0:26 and 1:37 drive my attention away from the character(s) and the text, while the dot pattern oftentimes looks filtered over the background rather than integrated into the art-style.
Although Impact is a good, I feel like you could use other fonts as well.

Overall, a lot of great potential, though there's still a few flaws to iron out. Can't wait for the full thing to come out.

StudioCatch responds:

Yup, agree.

[Manwich Collab]

MY MANWICH!

Review sent on behalf of Hermes Conrad. It was weird to say the least.

PukeBomb responds:

Hermes was in our first batch, great guy!

[Learning Skills on the Internet]

I'll admit, it's a very helpful and well-made video, but maybe not on the Movie Portal.

Newgrounds recommends linking a YouTube upload alongside the finished piece already on the Art Portal: (example: this strip)

[Peach on the Beach]

Quick tip: [No Audio] is not a selling point.

[MADNESS:Project Nexus ANIMATED TRAILER | MD23 |]

Congrats on the 900K milestone. It's in good hands!

100K was N: blammed, start of the Lock Legion.
200K was from j00bie, a Star Syndicate member
300K is also from the Lock Legion. It still survives.
400K was "Fur Hundr3d Th0us4nd", a spam movie spearheaded by Muffin and later removed by mods
500K was a [FF] spam made in response to the Lock Legion. Deleted.
600K was the first to not be affiliated with any specific group. Account deleted 7 years later.
700K was deleted after a month along with the author's account.
800K is "Blox", a game not made to celebrate any specific milestone. Still up on the Portal.
And now, Madness Combat has solidified itself as 900K. Just don't delete your account MatthewGbb1.
