Manderby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lord S.Pooki's Horror Movie Review-EP1: THE THING (1982)]

Let me explain: I love your animation style. The beginning of this piece is promising and in the style I love. So I was looking forward to some wacky jokes or redrawn scenes from the movie. But the middle in this piece are not things you animate. And it is quite a lot. Really a lot, bordering on having to worry about copyright. You basically blatantly show the movie. More blatantly, you show the scenes which are most eye popping which, when out of context and in such short time is just lurid. And that is a bummer. If you just had created a sarcastic 10-20 second monolog with some self-drawn stills, that would have been a solid 5 stars. That is your strong suit. But this is just ... I don't know. I guess I was expecting something more unique. I know that even just cutting such a movie review takes hours. But for this animation, I can't give you too many stars. Keep up your animations, they're alive, they're alive!

[You Lovely Lovers]

You Sir must know the best Sex humankind can ever have.

[Bambi]

I have never watched the movie. And now I never have to. Ever.

[Cat Got Your Tongue?]

It's a very good short but there are 2 glaring faults which I believe make this score too low for what it would be: 1. The music is not fitting at all and too loud as well, I presume, you get a better experience by removing it completely. 2. Please correct the aspect ratio. Please. It's a shame to look at. I mean, even the thumbnail is wrong. You do have the original, don't you?

Mithmeoi responds:

It's 11 years old, so no I don't. Back then you were doing good to get something to 480p on the net and everything was cropped.
As for music, it was made specifically for it by a friend, he was still really new to composing and sound compilation at the time.
Despite that I'm glad you could at least appreciate the animation.

[Welkin Wing]

All done by one person. That's the stuff I like.

[Freaky Fred Reanimated!]

This video definitely proves: Reanimates are a new art form. Thanks to all who worked on this!

[C&H Prison Pie Animatic]

That was indeed a twist I did not expect.

[Crossed (Short film)]

Story and Expressions are very good. I enjoyed the film and that deserves 5 stars.

Though I think, you need some development to do. Your character has great visual charm and you seem to know its design by heart. Maybe a bit too much by heart. Meaning: I could very well imagine something animated by you in a way more extreme way (saying that with your style being kind of abstract already). Go wild, go more to the surreal realm of imagination and spread your wings. Doesn't have to be all storytelling consistent, Doesn't have to be realistic. I'd enjoy some boldness.

Exaggaration responds:

Thank you very much!

Oh, I definitely do. Mentioned in my description, I would've done more bold moves and such, I was just on a time restriction. But as an animator by myself, I absolutely agree.

[Null and Void]

That was something enjoyable. Very simplistic and unique style. But very good story, very psychological. Deserves more views.

[The Sonic Mania MV Collab]

That is just so much 90's vibe. Hedgehogs have never been faster (except when launched into space)

Excellent work of everybody! Really, really enjoyable!
