Soapbubble's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captain Ig'nant]

***

I'm not sure what I think. The quality of the artwork, animation and voice acting is mint, but I didn't even smile. I get the humour, it just doesn't appeal to me, and I review subjectively. I get the whole sarcastic look on how the society (at least in the States) is right now, and I appreciate that.

Might be because I didn't understand half of what was said. I blame that on having English as my second language.

[Pokemon But With Animals2]

Weird as fuck

Seriously, one of the most odd flashes I've seen on Newgrounds to date. I liked it, it was damn funny, but the voice acting kinda killed it a bit for me. The quality of the flash was somewhat fitting with the comedy, but you could probably do a tad more work on the animations.

[Salad Fingers Episode 9]

True surrealism

I'm a big fan of surrealism in animated movies, which is why I'm a pretty big fan of your Salad Fingers series. It's atmospherical, with a story that seems superficial but def has something underlying. The voice acting is amazing, and the animation is very fitting, even though it is quite simple. The lack of any objects in the background really sets the focus on the story. Loving it.

[The Lil' Clock That Could]

Not serious.

I can't find a single positive thing to say about this flash. Not one.

First off, the graphics. Really poor, seems like you've used the brush, line and curve tool. And a letter in there. The colours are really plain, and you've even erased some lines as you animated to get it done faster.

Animation... very scarce. Strawberry jumps up, and gets squished? I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but it doesn't really look that good, so I'm just guessing here.

There is no audio, and there is no story to this.

My suggestion? Sit down, and take more than ten minutes to make a flash. Write a story. Character bios. Practice your drawing skills. And animating skills. Tweening doesn't make a great animator.

[The Best Video Game Ever]

A lot of effort?

You seem to have a put a lot of effort into this flash, I can absolutely appreciate that.

The graphics aren't the greatest, but I have to give you some credit for making practically everything with the brush tool. AT least almost everything. THe animations were actually pretty smooth, but I think you should keep working on your drawing skills, and your colouring skills, because there were many instances where you filled in outside of the lines, which doesn't look too good in a flash.

Audio was not of top-notch quality. The voices were pretty good, but they all sounded very similar, which annoyed me. I'd also like MEgatron to have a more robotic voice. Another problem was that all the voices sounded like they were toned down, sort of muted. The audio quality of most songs was pretty bad. The SFX in the fighting and driving almost drove me mad, especially all the different screams used while he's falling. And the screeches from the car. THey wouldn't be as annoying if you also included the sound of a car engine, though.

The story.... uh, I'm not sure I can find much of a story, it just seems like a couple of random, somewhat funny, flashes put together into one flash, and the uploaded here. It's not necessarily bad, it's still somewhat of a funny collage.

[TmsT's "Spy & Pyro"]

Ooooohhohoho I get it!

What a great comedy. There aren't many of these comedies with such a great story. In fact, there aren't too many comedies that can utilize such a long flash to make such a great ending punchline.

Your drawings are really funny, and absolutely contribute to the humour factor of the entire flash. The backgrounds are very pixelated, but that's probably the only annoyance I had. Except for the "fighting" scene where that huge white cloud popped up alongside the silly music. I know it's supposed to resemble some old Looney Toons cartoons, but I didn't really like that part.

Other than that, I have practically nothing to say. Your use of characters, music and the general story of the entire flash, the way you used the characters' personalities and incorporated them into the story, I loved it.

[Bear Bear]

I am... awe-struck

I've seen this movie on the #1 spot for quite some time, but I never got around to actually watching it. Now that I did, I regret not doing it earlier.

The deep psychological meaning of this flash is something many probably wont think of. That little teddy could just as well be a kid, neglected by his parents, put in an orphanage, being the last one to be adopted.

But without dwelling too much on the deeper meaning of the flash, I have to say that the animations and graphics in this flash were incredible. And I'm using a crappy computer while my new one arrives, so I had to watch it on Low Quality. I have absolutely no complaints on the graphics.

Not that I have any complaints on anything else. I really liked your versions of the different songs for kids, as well as the ambient piano music that played throughout the flash. It really helped set the mood.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that dreamt of my teddy bear choking me.

[Dance Dance BedClock]

Not too special.

It's a pretty boring loop.

THere's no background, which makes the entire flash feel pretty rushed. THe drawin of BedClock isn't very good either, with very straight lines and no shading. There's quite a lot of detail to the DDR machine, but thee are a lot of straight lines there as well.

And the loop is very simple, and after a short while, very annoying.

And no, I can't do that.

[Happy clock day '10]

Loopy

I'll give you some cred for the pixel drawings. They seem to be a quite new take on the clock figures, and I have to say I like it. Would be neat to see some more clock movies in this style. The pixel art was also quite good.

Then again, it was only a loop. And even though the 8-bit music sounded pretty good, when with the flash, it's still just a loop.
