chris-the-stick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tale of Two Tasters]

really nice, well-drawn and smoothly animated movie... this is a nice tribute to spyro the dragon, and to crash bandicoot, two v-game characters that i always liked, (especially crash bandicoot, he is my favorite v-game character!!), so its really cool to see them in a flash movie.
the movie was nicely drawn, with good drawings of the main characters, (both spyro and crash were nicely animated, and drawn with some very good details), they had good face expressions, and the whole movie was very fluid, nicely animated and funny, with a cool story going on.

also, all the other characters were nicely drawn as well, and the voice-acting was perfect.
this movie felt a bit like the old classic(?) cartoons of the 80's, back when videogame characters first appeared in cartoon shows...

in conclusion, this is a very good tribute to spyro+crash, with cool humour, a good story, and with nice voice-acting.
awesome work, keep it up, and do more stuff like this!
you rock!

[Animated Teaser 02: it’s mine]

beautiful, fast-paced, flawless animation.
it might be short, but its nicely animated, detailed, and very, VERY interesting...
the mans(?) face expression as (s)he is holding the dead woman is very shocking, since (s)he is smiling, and thats a very crazy/wild smile, i might add... :O

i also liked how the person's headband/ribbon flew away, and over the city, revealing to us the place of the tragedy, and thus marking the start of the epic drama...

great animation!
good drawings of the characters, flawless, detailed face expressions, and an interesting story as well!

this will be an epic manga story, if you will animate the whole thing.

keep it up, you are great!

thx man, what nice professional review wow, :D i'm developing the manga version, tho i like doing animation that why im doing an animated teaser around 1:30 min hopeing to get support somehow to make it a featured anime, it still early since i have a fulltime job along with freelance job, but trying to use whatever extra time i have to do so :) thx again

[Animated Teaser 01: killing me]

amazing FBF animation, with swift, relentless speed, good pace, and excellent details.
(GREAT drawings of the protagonists face, along with excellent animations+designs of the revolver...)
i have to ask: what FPS speed did you used?
and was this done in flash, or was it created with an other program?
i am most impressed by your amazing works, and even tho it was a short movie, i enjoyed every second of it.
im certain that your manga will be magnificent as well.
i see great potential in you, my good sir!
keep up the good work!!!

ibrabdo responds:

thx, i did animate it using flash, tho i guess i ll be using different software for cleanups and coloring plus the backgrounds going to be built in 3D and overpainted in photoshop and the whole thing will be packed and edited in aftereffect for post production, and using 24 FPS for FBF :)

[Pokemon Go Bankrupt]

perfect parody of the modern ''pokemon GO'' trend that soars the planet nowadays...
indeed, many videogame companies have to adapt or die, in order to combat those powerful, super-popular, established genres, such as pokemon, no matter how silly they might be...

i really liked the company CEO's expressions, and his look when he said: ''we have to copy pokemon, right? RIGHT?!'', along with the flaming wall of rage behind him, and i also liked the part where the ''lets play'' videomaker was bored with the company's game: ''is it 10 minutes already?''
as for the ending, it was a masterpiece. great pun, good pause, and it had a clever afterword...

very nice movie like always, sir nicolas.
keep up the great work!

[Minewars - New and familiar faces]

good animation, nice animation speed, and cool dialogue...

its nice that you added subtitles in the movie, it makes it even better...
even tho the subtitles text moves TOO fast, and therefore it makes it hard to read indeed...

perhaps it could be (a bit) slower, in order to match with the movie's pace... (just saying).

also, sorry if i say this, but the author's description should be written as:

''Be sure you've put your loyalty in the right place.

Because you never know who (is) going to betray you for their own reason(s)''

other than that, everything's perfect, and you are a very good minecraft animator.
good job!
keep it up!

Thanks, and don't feel bad for posting criticism, it just helps people improve based on their mistakes.

[Harry Potter - My Scar]

hehehe, this was funny, with great(creepy) face expressions, good voice-acting, smooth animation and with excellent humour.
nice work, keep it up!
you are good!

[what's inside .? ../?]

hahaha! cool+funny little movie, it had smooth animation, good FBF sequences, and nice linework that looked like pencil lines, this was a really good+funny short movie.
good work, man!

[World time-lapse [TEST]]

its pretty good, nicely animated (with quick FPS!), and pretty cool, but it should have a preloader, or a play-replay button.
other than that, its a nice loop, and while i usually dont like loops, this one is really well-made...
good work!

SanderHD74 responds:

btw, can you help me? i don't really know how to make a pause button xD
i work in CS5, ActionScript 3.0

[DeMor's Tales - Chapter 1. KDM. (Episode 2)]

good concept, nice 3-D-like graphics, and cool animation overall, while the story is interesting as well. cool movie, keep it up! (and do more episodes of this series)
it seems really awesome, imho.

GregSargor responds:

Thanks, I will do my best!

[MadTown - My Dino Dog]

this was a strange, yet funny (at times), nicely animated movie, with cool action and nice layout.
good movie!
i liked it, and i saved it.

keep up the good work!
