UnimportantThingy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shower Products for Men]

Hyperbole and a Half goes animated! Huzzah!

been reading the blog for a while, great to see some animations. admittedly, it was a ripoff of powerthirst and the variety of like-minded videos, but that doesn't make it any less funny. just slightly less original. and i could sure use some velociraptor sweat cologne or a lightspeed 3000 (after no shave november ends, of course).

Chag responds:

Don't be in any rush as the Lightspeed 3000 will shave you so fast that it gives time itself the middle finger... Leaving you clean shaven since the BEGINNING of November

[LoL: Oh Yes And Spiders]

Pleasantly surprising

I must say that i normally am not a fan of sprites or video-game parodies in general because they are often unoriginal and the same as every other sprite parody out there (sex jokes, gay jokes, random humor that gets old, as you said). But this actually took the characters and gave them personalities and did more than a simple parody. Great script, well thought-out, brilliantly pulled off.

few small questions, though... it says part II, but where is part one? Is this a not-really-remake of the part 2 for your other animations? And what happened to the triforce of courage? Did it transform to the triforce of arrogance or simply vanish?, or what?

Emptygoddess responds:

The triforce of arrogance....

I like it!

As for part 2, it says episode 2. The first 'episode' was broken up into 4 parts. Do not be confused! I am sorry! don't cry either. or I'll cry two, and I do not want us to both cry!

[Bedtime Story]

great

wait.. so the whole blow each other up thing was just in the book, right? never actually happened? Cute. Great animating.
great place for an easter egg, bty. no one would think to look there =P

CircusFreakFlash responds:

Yea, It's all just part of his story. -and I did sneak my signature in the book as it zooms out. Also if you watch closely... when the first fireball hits his tower, the explosion forms a skull for a split second. They aren't really actually easter eggs, but it's just a lil somethin :)

[TOFU3]

i think i get it

well, i went back and watched the others, and now i think i get the gist. Basically, he has been fighting versions himself from different places in time all along.

The first time he goes back he ends up in the purple tofubot or whatever, and gives him past self a tofu capsule while in disguise. then he gets attacked and beat by his past self, and encounters his past self again, only to get punched in the face and almost shot to death. After that he re-visits the oracle after waiting for his past self to leave to follow the map.

I assume that in TOFU4 (or whatever it will be called) he will go back in time a little further than the last time, end up in the tan tofubot (from the first video), and will get killed by his past self. Then is he dead?

Did i get it? I think i got it mostly right, but I can't say i know what the giant white tofubot at the end is.

Anyway, after all that, great series! You got me puzzling over it, which is a good thing in my book.

danomano65 responds:

i like that you are speculating. that's what i wanted.

[Robozilla]

overboard, eh?

overachieve much? Eh, can't blame ya; i can relate. Pretty good for a 1-2 class. I assume you had prior experience? I'm sure your classmates hate you for that =P

Tophatwonder responds:

lol yeah, well i'm the only one in my course, its a 11 and 12 split and the courses are separated, the only other person doing my course never showed up.

so the rest of the class is doing drafting while i chill on the other side of the class with my animations. :D

[TOFUTWO]

freaky

So... he killed himself or something? Or just a guy that looked like him? I think I'll go with himself, for now. more interesting that way. Plot twist, anyone?

Pretty original idea: giant war robots made out of tofu controlled by people inside little virtual reality orbs or something like that. Neat-o

danomano65 responds:

i think you understand this more than anyone else before.

[Flecko's Halloween]

Well, you technically got it done it time

And did a bloody good job, I say. There were (very small) pieces of animation that were not as smooth as the other, but it was all great by any standard.

Two guys walk into a graveyard, hunchback attacks, one of them sits down and does nothing while a random epic battle ensures... hell, why not? It doesn't need to make sense. =P

Who was the other guy, anyway? It didn't quite seem like he had a point... and why did he speak Japanese? Just wondering

Anyway, great graphics, great animation, funny, and awesome. 5/5.

FleckoGold responds:

Hah! Nah, Trever was more of a cameo. He's from my TESSONAS series. Just a fun little spin on things.

-Flecko-

[Circuit Skirmish 2]

Still Great

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The animation quality shows great improvement, but it lacked a little bit of the originality and humor of the first. Still, that does not detract from the fact that it is an awesome film, just maybe in a slightly different way.

The adding of a plot line is an excellent idea, even if it is very undeveloped at this point. I am looking forward to "disk 2", even if it does take a while.

The animator is more important than the speed of the completion of the animations, however, so take your time and make sure to take care of your self. If anything in life were easy, there wouldn't really be a point to anything, eh?

Great movie and best of luck to ya!

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks a lot! I'm taking my time on the second part, so I can imagine a lot of people are going to hate me for that. But great review.
