CosmicPenguin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FOAMY: Fat-kins DIet]

You've created this movie before

Another anti-society rant from foamy, you're really not evolving as an artist. Of course what you say is valid, but it's not really relivant, your edge as an animator is simply gone. That's not to say this is your worst flash (The clock-crew bombed "suggestion box" takes that title, and an ironic time to drop a bomb if i do say so myself), but foamy needs to be taken into some new directions as a series. Where exactly it is goes doesn't matter, but some time needs to be spent examing the ideas behind the foamy series before the next 5 flash movies are created.

[the real bush campaign 1]

Really well-done audio edit

Anyone who takes this flash literally is reccomended to seek professoinal help. Of course it's meant to be silly and ridiclious, and you did a great job at that. The second scene is really smoothly blended, and turned out great.

Keep making more :)

[NGTTVII Group A]

Good time trial

delitescent probably had the best flash, but they were all good, nice job guys

["Waterman" Ep. IV]

A marked improvement over the past few epsoides

Well, there's an old saying, that dying is easy, comedy is hard, and your series is a classic repersentation of that. There's a lot that you've done right, especially in this epsoide. I know you resent the family guy comparasions, but the simliarites run only as deep as the random nature, and sharp wit of both series, and in this epsoide, you're at your best. There are many moments which are simply hilarious, and prove that you certaintly have the talent to make a great series, and that your skills extend beyond simply catching lightning in a bottle on your first epsoide

But why did i only give you an 8 then? There's still some improvements to be made, there's little to no flow in the story line, and the same random nature that makes the series so fun to watch also makes it frusterating to keep up on and anti-climatic. So, where do you go from here? Trying to make a sensical plot line in all of 5 minutes, and at the same time jamming it in with jokes. Quite a challenge if i do say so myself, but i wish you the best of luck trying to combine these two elements to cement yourself as a great of NG, instead of "The guy who makes those family guy ripoffs"

I look forward to part V

[how it will end.]

A strangely amusing schitzophrenic flash

It almost reminded me of an unambitious waking life, much of your animation work is simply amazing, worthy of much praise. Of course, the flash has it's up's and down's, but it's still a worthwhile watch. Great job

[TurdClock's Journey Pt. 2]

It's a shame...

That there's such a clock bias on newgrounds (I' rather indifferent myself), because this flash will never get the respect it deserves. This should undoubtly be a daily feature. The amount of work that you put into this flash is obivious to even the most n00b-ish newgrounder, and all of your ideas combined perfectly in this flash. In this era of disapointing sequals, you've only raised the bar higher for part three, which i anxiously await.

I hope newgrounds hears this plea, and joins me in voting 5

[Cool Things 246]

Compress your audio!

It's not like it's hard or anything...

["Waterman" Ep. III]

Not quite as bad as i feared it would be

There's plenty that should be going right with this series, the base drawings are good (Although your animations are just inept, tweening galore), your voice acting is reasonably good, and you've proven in previous epsoides (IE: epsoide 1), that you have the ability to write. But, lately, your sense of humor has just been off. I'm going to avoid family guy comparasions, but the randomness littered througout this epsoide isn't leading up to anything. It's just confusing, and the viewer is left to wonder what the purpose of it is. The willy wonka/marry poppins and the walken gags stick out from that aspect (including a truly dreadful SNL reference)

So, where does this leave me? (or why i haven't given this a zero.) I'm not giving you points for your earlier works like half of newgrounds is, but you do have a talent for drawing. If you spent half of the effort you did creating your models on script writing, you could create another winner. It's not blam worthy by any means, but it comes far closer than it should given the talent that you have.

The family guy referances are simple in purpose, the family guy repersents randomness that manages to be funny and entertaining, and shows a mastery of comedic timing. While you say to avoid comparasions, you're clearly aiming for the same niche as what i just described, only it's just not working. I look forward to seeing your future works

[Linkin Park music video]

For something that pretentious...

You have no excuse for using linkin park for the music. I think something like godspeed(Y!BE)would have fit the theme better. Otherwise, your animation could use some work, and given your music selection, your video should be more than just thematic exploration

[Adam Android Strikes Back]

Well done

A great effective, american-anime style flash, vaugely reminisiant of a power-puff girls epsoide. Animation was well done, and while the sound files all could have benefitted from less compression, it's a minor complaint. Good job, i look forward to seeing your future work
