Anonymous-Frog's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Unoffical Star Syndicate Christmas Collab 2023 Part 3]

TYPO: You named parts 2 and 3 "Collan"

Mightydein responds:

I didn't notice the typos on the titles. I fixed them just now.

[Sonic at the Races]

The cars look like blobs, and not necessarily good blobs. The background keeps shifting around,
Overall incredibly janky and jittery.

Jibberuski responds:

Yeah, 12-year-old me wasn't good with cars, and 42-year-old me wanted to add inbetweens but stay faithful to my old work, so the cars morph around.

[Ai ADOPTiON Gen-A 1.0]

So, what exactly is the aim of this movie?

wad247 responds:

Only have a rough idea at the moment.
Will develop it, maybe create a short demo.

[Stupid Mindless Brothaz: Toad's Encounter]

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

RareKirby responds:

the outro the main course

[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.

PoppiSickle 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.

[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!

[Nightshade NES Parody]

Cool. What a great grate. My great-great grandfather had a grate that was greater than this movie.

No seriously, this is some nice stuff, it's good to see someone other than JonTron make a video about this game.

SuperJeffoMan responds:

Hahaha, "My great-great grandfather had a grate that was greater than- *vomits!*"

Thanks dude :D
