ABlackbirdOnline's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wacky Game Jokez 4 Kidz]

Very impressed, I am.

You set the bar high with your 'Jerry' series, and have not let yourself or your fans down. The animation is slick, the voice acting is natural, and you have once again demonstrated your talent for making characters 'believable' (at least, the main character is; the others are caricatures, which is good for the balance of humour). Thank you and well done.

[The Hard Way]

clever

"am I going to have to turn your face into a Picasso?" very clever line!

[Pigeon!]

love all of your work

I knew it would be a good cartoon before I watched it because you consistently have good animation, style, story and humour. Once again you've ticked all these boxes.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

Almost flawless, imho

Excellent animation, screenplay, use of music. Personally, I don't think that the narration 'worked', especially when it added unneeded information (for example, seeing the Dashkin sadly observing a bird couple is enough to tell us that he seeks companionship, without a voice telling us so). Also, having a human voice somewhat detracts from the wild, animalistic feel of this fantasy world. Otherwise, perfect, in my humble opinion.

[2012 in 30 seconds]

An enjoyable parody

Besides, even for people who thought this wasted 30 seconds of their life, better than wasting two hours watching the actual film, which is possibly less entertaining.

[batman's themesong]

Expressive

I absolutely love the way you draw Batman's facial expressions, hilarious, really exaggerated. So what if there was little 'animation' as such, the drawings were enough to look at. Also enjoyed 'Batman hates Robin' for same reasons. Gonna check out your other work now.

Thank you! nice of you to mention that.

have fun with the other ones

greetz!

[Big Black Ben (NEW)]

not that funny

i don't really see what's so funny about repeating a black stereotype. i'm not saying it's racist, it's just not that funny in my opinion, and the quote gets old quickly, rather than getting funnier each time. well animated, however.

[Banana Phone]

not my thing

i know this is quite unusual, but - personally, i just don't find this cartoon that funny. so, the guy goes crazy because of a repetetive song? i didn't really get any laughs out of it. but that's probably just me. otherwise, graphics and sound were good, and the plot was original.

[Armless Boy]

brilliant

i love this! well animated, and strangely heart-warming. the music fits in very well also.
