Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[From Life to Death]

Intresting

That was most certinly an intresting idea and well presented to, I also liked the drawing style, that was pretty good. It was also pretty clever how at each stage, where there is another child, you see a simler past scene but in a diffrent perspective, that to me was pretty clever to see. Though the ending with two children seemed to not follow the same pattern.

The music was kind of strange, didn't quite fit in but at some points it did fit in, maybe a track that could do both for the happy stages and sad stages would have worked better, dunno, the music was still good though. There was a lack of any heavy animation, only light bits, but it seemed to work, pretty good work overall.

4/5

ReklessCreati0n responds:

Thanks, I don't see what was confusing about the last children, everything was focused on the main character, maybe it just didn't fit right? hmm thanks for the review!

[News Reporter IV]

Hmm Okay

Still some improvments to be made with the walking animations and art on parts of the body, the stroy itself was kind of odd since the earthquake was quite a while ago, so it seems a little late to bring it up. Parts of this where kind of amusing but the detail outside could have been a little more. Sounds where okay, pretty clear and everything.

The ending explosion was decent, almost looked like he had stood up from the sofer in a way, so yeah that was pretty decent. But I would choose something a little more obscure to make a news report out of, something easy to mock or make a joke out of.

3/5

[I Hate Snowmen]

Alright

That was kind of silly, the drawing was pretty good in parts as was the animation, thought there is the one part where he seems to suddenly dwarf the snowmen, like he's suddenly grown, that was odd unless you ment it to be like that. Otherwise the rest of it was good with the verious ways of destorying the snowmen, although some seemed pointless, lol.

A funnier ending was expected though, I mean this is nothing wrong with the way it does end as it is but I think there could have been a diffrent ending to it that would have been more intresting. Eh, overall though, pretty silly but well do in a way, music kind of fit in too.

Graeme responds:

For that reall short, almost "crippled" snowman, it was on purpose.
I asuume you mean the little guy he flamethrowers. I handed my brother a paper and said, "draw a crappy snowman"
And he whipped that off before I could blink, so then I drew a recreation of it into the movie.

I do plan on making a sequel. So I didn't want any really concrete endings. If I did anything to out there, I wasn't sure if I would have enough room to continue

[The Halloweenator]

Nice Work

This was a pretty good flash to watch, though the main introduction with everything seemed to go on for a while. The actual flash itself was good, nice work to the voice actors, they seemed to sound very good with this flash and such, the art work was also pretty nice too and some decent lip movement in this, though the teeth of the Terminator or whatever you call him seemed funny, lol.

The ending didn't really work with the traced bitmap though, it could have looks a little better, maybe from a direct over head view or something, but otherwise overall, this was a nice flash to watch, pretty funny and a good story to it, nice work.

5/5

Lambinvoker responds:

Thanks for the review.
I will never use traced work again. It always seemed like a good idea at the time, but when it's all done it feels like cheating.

[Andersson's Birthday]

Alright

Well I have to say I kind of like the simple looking background, it kind of work in this, though it didn't change a lot, but being short would really expect it to work all that well. The main plot was kind of eh, but it did in a way kind of fit well, don't really get the point of the last bit, maybe a joke I'm kind of missing at this point.

The voice acting was done pretty well for most part, though still some work could be done on the charactor desigin and such, but for most part this did work pretty well, so good job on it.

[Love You]

Umm Intresting

That was a pretty intresting short, didn't really get what the main point was, it didn't make all too much sense. The sound was good, but the large opening of nothing showing was kind of, odd too. It didn't really make all to much sense on a whole, so yeah that's what makes it kind of intresting, maybe if the opening had some sort of flash back it would have made more sense.

The backgrounds where drawn pretty well, although the image at the end seems kind of eh. The drawing of the person could be improved a little to, but otherwise it did kind of work, just a little odd on a whole.

Thank you for the review.

[A Weird Day at College]

Hmm, Alright

There where parts of this that where pretty amusing but using references to including something in a later flash or coming back to life in a later flash in my opinion should be left out, they don't really needed to be mentioned. Also, you might need to have a diffrent method of thinking since the arrow moving indicates talking, maybe even just a diffrent colour of arrow.

The story itself was pretty good, there where moments where it could have been a little better but for the most part it seemed to work really well. The ending was a little eh though, maybe he should have just been thinking about what to report as oppose to saying it. Some improvments could be made but mostly decent.

There may be something in the future, but it depends. We'll just have to see. :)

Still, thanks for reviewing Little-Rena.

[I Am One]

Very Good

This is very well animated, some good work with this, nice art and everything. Though you have some white backgrounds in this, which personally I don't like, you have the talent to draw some as you have shown so it would be good to see them through the whole flash. The music is good and very fitting to your animation, though it goes on past the ending, you might have wanted to make the animation a little longer to fit with that, it would have been nice.

Other than the lack of backgrounds in parts and the music over running, this was very good and well done, so nice job overall with this. There's nothing more I can see that's bad, everything is nice, even the preloader, lol. Keep up the good work.

MrGUS responds:

Thank you, and still thanks alot for the love for my preloader, when I first posted it no one metioned it so I forgot about it and didn't use it on my last one. I know it overruns, but I love how the words I am one, sync with the song at the end.. and I guess we have a bit of a crash with my love for a white background and your hate for it... I'll count on you to tell me about it every time I use in an unecesary way... (most of the time), but then again I will probably still be too tempted to use it .

Thank you for your review,

[A Shot to Remember]

Alright

It was pretty decent, the preloader and intro where also pretty nice too, they where amusing, lol. Anyway, the actual flash was pretty well done at the start but then you started to lack backgrounds, it would have been good if some of the backgrounds wheren't just plain white if you get what I mean. Also there was a part where it was a little out of sync with the music, where you had text unless you ment it to be like that.

It was a little short but I don't mind about that, I've seen shorter flash. The animation and art was good for most part but there where parts as I said that could be done. The sound was pretty clear and everything, so that's good. Pretty nice overall.

3/5

MrGUS responds:

Thank you, I will check what you said about the sync, and I love the feedback about the preloader I almost forgot I did that, I'll keep adjusting it. I know sometimes I tend to use white backgrounds... I'm not sure why, but I'll make a conscious effort to use it a bit less.

Thank you for your review,

[Chaos Sonic chp 2 Trailer]

Alright

First thing that bugs me is the file size for a trailer, I mean a smaller size would mean more people are likly to watch which is the point of a trailer, to attract an audiance before you release the final version. Don't use music on the preloader, that just adds to the size, also stream the main music, that would help too. I also have a problem with the ending, you have the "Replay" button written in a symbol font till you hover over, that in my opinion is a bad idea.

The actual animation of the sprites themselfs is pretty good and the sound effects are good too. Though where you have text at the start, put it in a little box with the image of the speaker, it makes it look a lot neater and easier to read. Can't see what more you could change, you seem to have taken parts for your flash that you are working on in this I would guess, so they seem to be the more actionish parts.

I said in the authors comments that nothing in the trailer was ripped from the actual chapter.
