MichaelWashboard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[JIMMY The Teenage Dude]

Story is: Dude learns of Errorman, bumps into cops for his crimes, cops find him but he resisted arrest and gets away because the cops dumb—no call for back-up, bumps into more people while at the mail, and then misses the movie. Story isn't that good, the slapstick doesn't really enhance the silliness of the story, most of the gags are mostly okay, and the structure doesn't allow for many funny things to happen. Feel like you are on your way on how to make these types of stories, but you aren't there yet. Best thing I can say is the trash can machine gun was cool.

[The RJL Show (Episode #15): Backwards Mouse]

This was so boss! Great use of such a simple premise for a show, and story was engaging with such cut-throat drama at every story-beat. This is a great show of teenagers—as I wouldn't rate it E for everyone for its use of unethical traps and violence in satirical comedy.

[Peanut Butter Jelly 2006]

Turning Florida DJ music into a contextless internet fad since the early 2000s. It's meh for a pop-culture collage, seen better. Shout out to DJ Raylo & DJ Chipman for making the orignal 'Peanut Butter Jelly tyme' song, and to Raylo for being a cool DJ.

[smile and a ribbon]

A good song to make a sing-along music video for, but the animation was not the best. Your nice looking Pop Art style suits your stories, where the animation takes a back-seat to the art and original plot, but here the art is used in a boring way for the medium. Where your other movies have multiple scenes with redraws of each of the character's poses to 'puppet', this reuses a stiff one frame poses through out the entire animation, and does janky head bopping and a foot tapping dance with the exact same expression on her face. The imagination for each of the "scenes" is lacking to make the lack of good animation worth much, where 'character pointed at camera' gets old after a while. Little emotion, or ideas are given besides two points where new character are shown. Just kind of lame, but I don't think it was a waste of time, it had good music, and the background has nice detail. Oh, how Jim's work got better over the years. :)
