chris-the-stick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What is Zolutions TV?]

ah, once again, you've created a nicely animated and clever little movie, mr real-faction!
i liked the nicely drawn+designed main character of this new show:
he wears a nice shirt, a tie, dark pants and he sports a cool, yet broken monocle!
its a very nice and unique design, indeed!

apart from his cool appearance, he also has a nice british voice (good voice acting, sir! ;) ), and some cool punchlines to say.

the linework of the characters was good, their design was great (both mr monocle-guy, and the guy with the Z on his head), and the whole trailer preview for the main show definitely seems funny, nicely animated, clever and promising.

im interested!

furthermore, the character's face/eye expressions were great, and the animation's speed was perfect. not too fast, not too slow, with a nice pace, and a good, crystal-clear design+movement of the characters.

last but not least, mr monocle-guy's final punchline, ''good riddance, you splendid hooligans!'' was a very funny and memorable way to close every show, and im already listing it as a very positive thing for your new show.

all in all, this seems like a great+promising start for a new cool show by you, and i will definitelly support+share it!

keep up the good work!

ZolutionsTV responds:

Thank you kindly! I didn't want him to have the typical top hat and monocle stereotype, but rather a bit of a twist on it. Eventually I'm hoping to find an animator/artist to help bring it out more and to have more fluid motion. Thank you for the support!

[Steamed .swf's]

once again, you've created a great flash movie, redbook.

this is a nice adaptation of the ''steamed hams'' meme, but re-invented as a ''steamed .fla's'' movie!
i liked all of the cool puns, the funny jokes in it, the voices+the sound effects from the original, and the clever changing of art-styles between the scenes (from the line-drawn BB10+redbook, to realistic versions of themselves, to more ''spammy'' versions of their clock-characters, depending on the situation of each scene.
also, the twist with the aurora borealis joke was really clever and funny, and i liked that part of the animation as well, while the ending was truly hilarious!

all in all, this was a funny, nicely drawn animation that makes good use of the ''steamed hams'' meme in a clockified version, while its still maintaining its CC humour+originality intact!
excellent work, keep it up!

[Luigis mansion shining]

the drawings of the characters might be odd, and the movie might be short, but man, it was FUNNY!

great work on making a super-mario parody of ''the shining'', with luigi as the mad man chopping the door, with peach as sara, and with toad as his son.
apart from the funny visuals, the voice-acting was hillarious, and nicely synced as well.

a surprisingly good movie, and i would like to see more movies like this, with my only ''complaint'' being that they should be longer in length, or with more scenes/more random jokes+stuff.

other than, its very good.

colmendean123 responds:

Thank you! will make longer and more jokes in the future.

[Mortarman rotoscope]

really fluid, detailed and realistic rotoscope animation!

i would like to see more like this work from you.
keep it up!

inkstickart responds:

thankyou! I think if I do it again it won't take me as long, this was my first time doing this style of animation so it was learning experience for sure!!

[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.

RealRedbookClock responds:

I put a preloader now.

[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. :)

[Rocky Blue (clockmation)]

nice short movie about bluestone clock revealing why his body is white, while his name indicates that he's a blue stone.

both bluestone clock and BB14 were nicely drawn, and their face/clock expressions were good.
also the text-to-speech voices were nicely used as well.

the ending was funny and i enjoyed this movie.
keep up the good work!

how dare u look at my nudes. jk

[BluestoneClock's Suicide]

a beautiful movie by thor clock, based on the famous book of richard koplins ''the bell rings twice for bluestone'' : a true masterpiece of our era and a brutal, honest look on today's society.

as for thor's animation, all the character's were nicely drawn, the dialogue was easy to hear, and the whole story had a nice mixture between anger, disappointment, teen angst, humour, and eventually, redemption for our young heroes.

in this movie, we see bluestone clock+ caps lock-clock facing the problems of modern society, as the wise l1fty-clock provides them with some vital solutions+advices in order to survive in today's jungle. after that happens, a mysterious feline-ghost appears, and starts speaking about the values of life. phantomcat's voice acting in this iconic part was a bit ''boring'' and underwhelming, but it still did the job anyways.

in conclusion, this was a great movie, and it had a nice mixture of sadness with humour.
another great piece of art by thor clock, god of thunder.
keep up the good work!

[New Year with Clocks]

an awesome and funny CC movie, showing us the celebrations of the new year: 2018!
i loved this movie's humour, shown in scenes such as the one where redbook asks directions from lolipop clock, and the guy tells him some really looong+difficult instructions, and redbook freaks out (nice clock-face expressions, BTW).
another cool scene was when redbook crossed the huge lake of clocktopia, and at the edge of the lake, there was a sign saying ''edge of the lake: you're still in clocktopia tho!''. very clever.
another good part was the scene were the M+M-clocks talked strangely to redbook, and after he left the store, they thought that he stole the fireworks from them, lol! (due to their amnesia)

i also liked the use of good music, the subtitles, and the nicely synced sound in this movie.
(the audio problem in the end with the crowd cheering was a tiny problem, and therefore its not v. important.)

all in all, it was a great movie, really funny, and nicely animated, with many good points.
happy new year!

RealRedbookClock responds:

Awesome, thank you very much. Happy New Year BB10
