Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Freddy]

Alright

Well the voice acting although it was pretty clear didn't really have much to it, might want to work a little bit on that to kind of add more feeling to the whole situation, in parts it just didn't really seem to work with the story. Also, the part with the prison and the music, in my opinion the music just went on for a little too long and the constant flicking back and forth of charaters did seem to get a little boring to watch.

The story and idea seems to be pretty good and with a little more animation and some more practice with voice acting, it could have worked very well. Could do with a few full body shots in parts too, like the opening, you couldn't see the dead body, lol.

3/5

haha cheers for the review

[Tributes of Life]

Alright

It's certainly good for your first submittion and early flash, I'll give it that but there is still some work to be done on the animation and drawing side of things, some parts look okay but others kind of off a little. The layout of the animation and menu was pretty good though, so nice work on that and the sound was clear, but in the last part, you have an error with the calander, it's missing an x, be careful when reusing images, lol.

The point behind it seemed to be more of something between a certain amount of people, it did make sense but without the commentry, it does seem a little confusing at the opening bit and the note would be better if it stayed in one place for a while for people to read it, kind of hard to read something moving fast. But otherwise, a pretty decent effort.

[Samus and Company]

So-So

Well most of the sprite animation seems to work well which is good and such but the text has some simple errors and a little poor presentation, having it in a box would have looked a little better, though having the speakers image is good, but none of the others speak, so maybe add some diolog for the others, it would make it a little more intresting.

The actual plot seems a little odd too, others having something to say might fix that problem if you can work a story in there. Also the question mark you had at one point looked drawn with the brush tool, I would suggest using the text tool for that with a pixel font or something that looks like it'd fit in.

PicosGhost responds:

Yes, the sprite animation, in my opinion, was well animated, and took quite a bit of my time, I'm glad it paid off :) As for the text, can you tell me what these errors were? Was it the "What's going ON?!" without the apostrophe? ' <--- that thing, and the failure to use commas? If so , thanks, I just looked at it again and never even realized that. Most people liked the presentation of the dialogue though, so I'm not too sure I'm going to change it, but I honestly appreciate the input. (I feel like a broken record! haha) But in the sequel, all of these things will be better, I promise you. And it's up to you guys, the people if you will, to judge whether or not I've gone up a step in animation.

I said this in another review I think, but I really had no plot when I set out to do this, haha :P. But I've managed to make a storyline as to why Mario did what he did to Samus, and I won't spoil it here :D. Damn, the q-mark... How did you know I did it with the brush tool? Great eyes! That's a good suggestion, I might go back and change that, and re-submit :)

I could ask for more than 2/5, but I guess my work spoke for itself. Thanks for your review, I'm happy you took the time to write it.

[Senior Mucho Stinko]

Umm Alright

It's not too bad but it could definatly do with a bit of work, the main plot to this seems a little odd maybe, some animation leading up to what you have here would have been worth having and some of the graphics could be improved. The angle of the shower water I thought was a bit odd and the sound for it could have been worked at a bit, there was a slight pause in the sound at a part.

The music and other sounds seemed to be a little poor quality so try exporting it at a higher quality of audio as well as the choice of language here, if it was English, I would have been able to understand it better. Intresting idea but it needs more to it.

[Goat Trip]

Intresting

Well it's certainly quite intresting and pretty good, I think the ides kind of works and it set out pretty well, though the laugh was a little out of place and the kid at the end had a smile, donesn't quite work when there's a screaming sound. Anyway, still some pretty good animation and decent graphics, though I wouldn't use stickmen, doesn't really look too good.

The music fit well and most of the sound effects pretty good, also the odd few cuts to what's happening in the real world, though maybe some more in other parts would have been nice, but otherwise pretty good overall.

Graeme responds:

I can admit the laugh was just for the hell of a refference.
But the smile is a misconception. I was worried people might look at it like that. The big black dot is his mouth. And the line under that is like a chin roll. Like how fat people have a second chin. That's what that "smile" was meant to be.
Don't worry, I won't hold it against you though ;)

[Pass-my-Flash 2]

Amazing

That was certainly an amazing flash, the art in all of the parts was great as was the animation, it's also amazing how each part really fits in well from the last and the story is shows is quite amusing too, the ending is done pretty well as well, which is very nice to see. The guest artists part of the flash was set out well, though not to focus, it did look good.

The music seemed to fit in well with the whole thing and much of the things that happend seem to come across as being pretty random. But still, it all did work very well together, so very good job to everyone who worked on this.

5/5

[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

"News just in. Little-Rena is an interesting reviewer", said News Reporter.

[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.

4/5

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

[Our Love]

Pretty Short

The music in this was pretty nice an everything and kind of fit with the look of the person singing but there could have been a little more, the drawing was nice and such, but not a great deal happend. Maybe some background animations or stills of what was being said in the song, just to give the viewer a little more to see when they are watching this.

I don't mind it being short but I just feel there could have been a little more happening in this flash as a whole. Still, not too bad overall in terms of sound and the drawing.

2/5
