chris-the-stick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Clock Love]

an excellent chronicle of bluestone-clock's everlasting friendship with vuvuzela clock, who adores him.

what a nice story, what a good friendship!
all the character's drawings were nicely designed, with good linework and an interesting style, while the TTS voices were good, and the animation has a nice pace.

i also think that phonograph-clock's intro where he was singing opera was one of the best parts of the movie.
good idea!

all in all, its a great CC cartoon, and i enjoyed it alot.
keep up the good work!

[Can I drive?]

nice play on an old CC joke...

i like how you used the old CC joke of SBC saying ''can i drive?'' into a new, and funny situation.
the digital voices were good, the talking arrow was nicely animated, and i liked that you've transformed orange-clock into... orange-clock(the company of phone, lol!)!

apart from that, seeing SBC riding a cadillac and moving into the final scene of the movie, all this was really cool and enjoyable to watch.

you've created a good movie once again, and it was very cool.
keep up the good work!

PS: my only suggestions would be to:
-add a preloader and/or a play/replay button (your replay button wasnt working, it was just a text).
-make more funny movies like this.
-add more funny jokes, if you want.

I put a preloader now.

[Geenie Reenie]

this is an amazing, and very unique animation!

both the linework of your drawings, their eyes+face expressions, the vivid colours and the funny sound effects, every single thing in your movie is perfectly combined in order to create a slightly creepy+uncomfortable atmosphere, while remaining still cute+funny at the same time! (which is a rare sight, to be honest).

i liked how the big ghost (geenie reenie) and the smaller ghost (dozen) are both using the computer, and as the big ghost is just reading its emails, the little ghost wants to use the computer for his own silly purposes!
but as the big ghost gets distracted by the little ghostlets in the yard trying to fix the fence, little ghost takes the lead and he suddenly starts typing random stuff on the PC.
then, little ghost opens a suspicious email, and hilarity ensues! LOL!
i loved the sound effects in that one as well, and the squeakie sounds of the big ghost when it was trying to move around (it sounded like a huge balloon, and it was really original, because ghostly characters rarely have any sounds in their movements), while i also liked the sound of the scissors clipping the power lines...

all in all, its a nicely animated, funny, cute, beautiful and cleverly written movie, filled with many beautiful visuals and incredible details, while the colours, the linework, the sound effects and the ''HI'' voices of the ghosts as they were talking to eachother were truly spectacular.

it was a great movie, and i would love to see more of this/more like this.
keep up the GREAT work!

[Baron Von Shakenburg's Dessert Catering Ad]

this was a really nicely organised song, with good vocals, clever lyrics and a great puppet, which was very well-made as well.

your background animations for the steven universe characters demise were really good, and your character's singing and dancing was superb, so i really enjoyed your movie.

it was great stuff, and it had a cool, creepy song to hear, which was very cleverly done.
keep up the good work!

GruntVonVeizatun responds:

Thank you! took me a while to build the puppet, so I appreciate the in depth review. :)

[CHASE.fla]

once again, krinkels has created a masterpiece.

the new features of this movie (within the madness-universe of ''nevada''), are quite impressive: bubbles that are access points into a different dimension within the ''improbability drive'' area, portals that break through reality (or life) and help people to enter a new realm for scientific purposes, and the depiction of gravity devices, which can manipulate (or even 'freeze') gravity into a vertical/horizontal position.
(the use of devices that can alter gravity horizontally/vertically DID remind me of the epic game ''submachine'', so if that was a cool reference to this great game, then good for you!)

all the backgrounds were nicely drawn and with many hints+details on them, all the weapons were nicely drawn, the character's movements/fighting/animation was flawless, and there were many good things to see in this movie: strange items, abysmal portals and the return of deimos from the dead!

apparently, if deimos will escape from this ''improbability drive'' realm, perhaps he could return back to the world of the living? i hope so.

one of the coolest elements of the madness series was how hank j. wimbleton evolved from a mindless killer into a man with a mission: to bring down the overlords of nevada, and most importantly, the auditor.
another great part of the madnessian lore is how 2 random(?) madness dudes decided to help hank in his quest to save the universe, and how they became unique+well-defined in a short time: deimos and sanford are some really nice, memorable characters and thats just one of the many reasons why the madness series is so great, so interesting and so well-loved.

this was a short movie, but any movie from you is a welcome sight, krinkels.
stay cool, and keep creating great movies!
you're awesome.

[Madness FOYPination 2: Trump's revenge]

madness combat movies are (sometimes) good, but such silly violence against tom fulp isnt cool nor funny.

try to add a more ''original'' story, such as madness trump VS aliens, or trump VS bigfoot, or trump VS robots or something...
there are many good ideas to add in such a movie, and your movie just didnt had that thing in its story.

leave tom fulp's image alone, he's a good guy.

[[S] Prehend]

nicely drawn movie, with some really good and fluid animation!
i liked the raining animation, the camera pan/moving camera scenes, and the whole design of both the homestuck girl, and of her abductor.

the whole story was simple, and everything was beautifuly drawn, while the animation was very nicely balanced and superb in general..

the only ''problem'' in here was that the story was way too sad. the homestuck girl got abducted by that creepy guy, and he took her in his truck. what will happen next?

other than that, its was a nicely animated, beautifully drawn movie, with good character designs, and cool face expressions.

keep it up, you're good!

[Bear Trap (Warning - might be a little loud)]

a very cool, nicely animated movie.

first of all, i like the design of the protagonist: he's a squarish looking guy, with a triangular head.
it doesnt get more original or stranger than that! ;)

also, his walking animation is really nicely animated, with a good pace, and a very realistic motion depicted in the whole movie. this is an excellent walking animation, man!
furthermore, i like how the triangle-guy's face expression changed quickly, from bored, to surprised to scared, when he witnessed the greatest threat of all: the bear trap.

i also liked the depiction of the suspensefull seconds that occured between triangle-guy observing the trap, and the idea of being hurt by the trap looming above his head.
the part of him using a towel in order to clean his anxious, sweating face was a nice touch.

as for the ending, well it was great! i really liked it!

lastly, both the backgrounds, the general linework and the bear trap were all nicely drawn, and i really enjoyed this movie, for it was both beautiful AND funny at the same time.

excellent work, keep it up!
