Gobolatula's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I miss you Daddy]

Great Movie

One thing I don't understand is when people don't give credit to voice actors. Well in this case it's different. If it's in the best interest of the girl that her name not be given out, then I guess that's the right thing to do. Otherwise, a great performance deserves credit.

One of the best things about this movie was the style. The design of the girl was simple and cute. The facial expressions were faithful to the narration.

As for animation, one of the greatest things was the lip-sync. A lot of people don't understand how hard it is to match lip movement to sound. Then there's a difference between smiling talk and upset talk. Great job with both. There were only a few awkward tweens at the end. What you did was do a slow movement of both the head and the neck. It may have looked better if the head and neck were separated into two layers and the head was the only thing being tweened. Don't get me wrong. The animation was fantastic.

The music played very nicely during the actual cartoon. It was a nice choice for the situation and the character.

Writing wise, you had me. For the longest time I thought you animated actual audio of a girl reading a letter to her deceased father. Great job with the dialogue.

Don't listen to people who say this doesn't belong on Newgrounds. It's an amazing piece of animation and Newgrounds deserves this. Keep up the good work.

[Ido Ido Ido]

There ya go.

Now was it really that hard to animate the rest of that? The only difference between this and the "incomplete" version is the shot of the red haired dude walking, sitting down, the girl resting her head, and a bunch of words flashing on the screen. Don't submit incomplete work, please.

I got a chance to look at your other work. All I can say is keep at it and you'll get better and better. I'm sure your girlfriend was really flattered when she saw this.

I didn't like this. It's just not my thing. But don't get discouraged, because this just isn't the kind of audience that would tolerate overly cutesy music videos like this.

[Ido Ido Ido(unfinished)]

Uhh

Hey. That's a real sweet gesture to make a music video for your special someone. However, the ending was a huge waste of time. I'm pretty sure there's some submission rule about incomplete projects. I wouldn't mind as much if you just cut it off on this edition.

Things I liked: The grass, the marble pattern.

The song isn't my thing, but that's more of an opinion sort of topic.

I can't stand looking at 'works in progress.' Maybe my opinion of this will change when the music video gets complete.

[Fallen Angel: Teaser]

Can't wait for the real first episode.

The animation is godly and made me shrivel up. The action is fantastic.

By the end, I thought "wait, I don't know what the hell is going on!" but then I read your comments.

For what it is, it's damn good. I'm sure lots agree with me when I say "I can't wait to find out what this really is."

[Pleasure To Burn]

What the fuck did I just watch?

That made no sense whatsoever, was violent, weird, and uncomfortable to watch. Glad I helped you make it.

[I Will Beat Pacman!]

Amazing, inspiring song with good cartooning.

First of all, that was a fucking awesome song. Great lyrics, great music, great screaming.

The animation was very top notch. Great use of tweening and frame-by-frame. The facial expressions were dead on, and the lip syncing was perfect. The only part that was a bit off was the loop of the dude actually playing (bashing) the game. It just looked a bit awkward to me is all. Other than that, everything else rocked my face in.

I wish you put info on the credits on where to get a full-quality version of that song!

[Long Nights...]

I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

GOD, YOU'RE AWFUL!!!!!!!! JESUS!!!

.....Just Kidding, I love you Kenny. That was honestly one of the best things you've done. I'd love to see more. Rock on.

[Rocket Ship]

Fantasticer

Good job, Kenny. This is one of my favorites. I'm always a fan of senselessness and randomocity. Keep it up.

[Porter Core Final Project]

This man speaks the truth

Yeah, I live at Porter College up at UCSC, too. Last year I actually submitted a flash cartoon for my final core project as well.

What can I say? You were dead on with your observations of the types of projects submitted. Seriously, folks. There are actually projects just like the ones featured in this cartoon.

From now on, you're on my favorite artists list. Rock on.

[Cell The Im-Perfectines]

Keep up the work.

Although you got the "turd of the week" rank, this is one of the better turds if that means anything.

I agree with what some people are saying about Super Saiyajin 3 Goku being able to cave in Imperfect Cell's face in a split-instant. In other words, if you're going to make a DBZ movie, try to stay more true to the storyline.

I didn't really like the music. Maybe next time you should choose something more consistantly fast-paced.

Don't let bad reviews get to you, keep working at it.
