NothanyTPM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nintendo § Pornography]

Mastapiece

[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in: All's Well That Ends Well!]

Pretty cool Oswald cartoon, it's got all the Oswald staples.

My only complaint is that some of the animation is a little stiff, and even if Oswald cartoons didn't have sound back in the day, adding just a little bit of background music helps-out a ton.

Keep-on animating my dude, I know you can do great things with just a little practice!

[A world without Normies]

You know, I've got this suspicious feeling about this little AI companion that NOX is hanging out with recently.

Feels like it could be a bad influence of some kind.

[FNF Erect Mode Sampler]

Honestly really curious how the final product is gonna look like. Given that the modding community has already cranked this game up to 20.

Still, the heart and soul could make a big difference if pulled-off right.

Can't wait to see what you guys have been cooking-up all these years.

[NECRO-NANCY 64: Spooky House]

Is it bad that I think this animation is just OK?

The parts where there was actual animation was pretty good. It really captures the old 5th gen era look for the most part. Love how expressive every character is, and a lot of it is done through clever texture work which is a neat era-accurate detail. Also love just the simple yet effective movements of each characters.

My biggest gripe with this was that it mostly felt like I was watching a no commentary longplay of a walking sim. There's so much dead air that could have been filled with neat little animation bits. I know you're trying to imitate a game with these sections, but even for a game it looks boring. If you're going to imitate a game the least you could do is imitate Resident Evil. The fixed cameras would have made these walking section a little more interesting to look at, and would have fit the 5th gen look way better than an fps.

Speaking of: the inconsistencies in this bothered the heck out of me. You have a game that imitates the N64 with PC mouse controls and Dreamcast disc-drive loading screens. I know these details mean nothing in the end, but people that can't make-up their mind bother me.

Finally, I just thought the dialogue was OK. Not great, but enough for me to tolerate it. Most of the characters don't really have enough "emotion" in their lines. Really the only ones that come close to sounding natural are Spooky and Skeeter. The rest sound bad, not 90s overly hammy bad, just plain stiff. I can practically see the actors reading the script

Overall, I can't dock too many points off if it because it's still well made and has a lot of effort poured into it, but boy, for something that's got so many awards under its belt, it felt underwhelming as hell to watch.

[Sketch Collab 2023]

Why do I get the feeling I was the only one who animated on ones again...

Glad to be part of this collab again, even if mine was left incomplete. It was either finishing this, or all the gifts I made December, it was a tough choice.

It's also funny looking at the coincidental theming of each collab. Last year was filled with guns, and this year it seems to be filled with a bunch of explosions. Funny how things go sometimes.

Also interesting was the amount of newbie animators joining the collab, and not reading the ru- I mean, getting a bunch of eyes on their work in front of a wide audience. That alone might give them a bit of a head start.

Unfortunately, I might not be joining next year if there is one. Gotta focus on getting more efficient with my animation skills since I take forever to finish my animations due to me being extremely rusty.

Overall, fun little collab, fun people...usually, and fun watch.

You weren't the only one lol

[The Chocolate Thief]

What's funny is they'd probably die if either of them ate the chocolate.

Pretty good little animation. Nice, short, sweet, and simple. Kinda like chocolate

[The Web has lost its Soul - LOVEWEB]

The new voice actors you got are pretty swell. Though, a bit rough at times. I can see these voices get better overtime, as you get better with voice directing. I still like the charm of the more robotic voices, but you had some solid reasons to hire actual voice actors. All fine by me.

Making a website from scratch was always one of those bucket-list things I've had for a long time. Only thing stopping me was the management. Honestly much prefer the look of older websites. Even the flashy (and flash based) 2000s websites. So sleek, lightweight, and full of personality. I miss those days where I was excited to visit a random website I'd find on the back of a box, or clicking random links.

I'll keep these things in the back of my mind for one of these days. Could end-up happening way sooner depending on how things go.

[OMG 9/11 - 20th Analversary Editi0n]

Instant classic!

And very accurate!

[Pyro Duties]

Nice, simple, and funny
