ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Pretenders]

Another decent video.

I have always found Nick and your humor style to be amusing, this was no different. The parts with the pizza rolls was hilarious. I also liked the scene when Nick was trying to find evidence of where the criminal would strike next. The movie was filled with irony, that is good comedy right there.

There were only a couple problems I had with the flash. At times the video screen would be black and only a glisten of a character would be visible, it annoyed me at times. I understand how difficult it is converting video files to flash, but the sounds were weak and some loud and other soft. I just flt it didn't fit together well. I still enjoyed the movie nonetheless.

When you and Nick were making the gun sounds at each other, it somewhat reminded me of Monty Python, I loved it when you juggled your "gun". It was a pretty good video from the two of you, keep up the good work!

Fro responds:

I think the part that you are talking about with the darkness was when the person was outside in the dark. There wasn't much we could do about it since we didn't use any lighting.

The sounds are weak, and I'm brainstorming some ways to make the voices better.

Thanks.

One of the better claymations I've seen.

I can't imagine how long this must have taken to create, it was very clever. I thought the lip sync matched what the creature was saying, and the scientist's walk was hilarious for how long you stretched it out. I thought you molded your characters together nicely, it was a ver well done claymation.

The only thing that bothered me was that the ending didn't seem to be suiting to the tone of the piece. The ending was still entertaining, but I felt that it didn't really tie in to the concept of the actual flash. Everything else was great, that was my only concern.

I hope you do well on this project for school, I'm sure your instructor will love. I'll also recommend this to the clay collection for you. Keep up the great work!

[BEEBO Part 1]

A funny idea for a series.

I had heard so much hype about this series, but I never watched an episode. I now understand why it is so popular, the concept of the flash is so hilarious. Beebo's owner had the funniest voice. The animation was exceptionally good for something made in 2001. I was fully entertained the hole time.

The only thing I didn't like was how repetitive the fights between Beebo and his owner were. Just Beebo jumping on people's head became boring after a couple times. I laughed every time the Pope showed up, he was a hilarious addition to the flash.

I will have to see the rest of the episodes to this series. If the other episodes are as clever as ths one, I know I will be in for a treat. Keep up the great work, and congrats on being a part of portal history!

[Apples.]

An entertaining cartoon.

This cartoon really put a smile on my face. I think your animation style is awesome, it is very creative. The whole plot somewhat reminded me of the squirrel from the movie Ice Age, mainly because your characters were collecting apples and the squirrel is searching for his acorn.

I thought the characters you drew seem likeable and cute. The one with the bag on its head made me laugh since it was so expressionless all the time. I really didn't see anything bad in this animation, and the song rocks. You show great skill in animating and music.

I was amused from beginning to end with this flash. I found so many aspects of it to be gentle and hilarious. I'll be on the lookout for more of your flashes, keep up the great work!

SWiTCH responds:

Thank you very much!

[Sad Larry]

A silly cartoon.

I like how the style you use to animate your characters is so simple, but it looks excellent in flash. The voices were pretty clever, the wasy you made Sad Larry sound was hilarious. The lip sync perectly matched the dialogue between the characters as well.

I found this to be less funny than your other shorts you've put on here. I thought this one was lacking a plot, I felt like I need a little more background on who Sad Larry actually was. To me, it seemed as if the guy's reaction at the end was not fitting, it just felt like the cartoon was incomplete.

I understand your animations are shorts, but itseems as if they are lacking some sort of depth. Don't take it the wrong way though, I got a pretty good laugh out of this one. Keep u the good work!

[Simply Life]

Not a bad concept, but there were a few problems.

I like the whole motivational thing you were aiming at, but the plot of the flash left me pretty confused. I thought you chose the appropriate music that suited the flash. The main character in your flash reminded me of Pico in a way, I got a good laugh out of that.

Some of the animation could be better, like when the main character was jumping up and he didn't have any lege, that left me puzzled. Most of it was serious motion tweening, just try to focus some actual movement and your skills will greatly improve.

You have a decent flash technique already, but if you add some style I'm sure you will get much more recognition for you talents. Some voices woud add to that as well. Keep up the great work!

[Seinfeld: The Carpet Tile]

Definately needs some improvement.

I think Seinfeld is one of the funniest shows on television, so you got some points for adding some funny sound bites from a few of the episodes. The animation definately needs more improvement, the tweening seemed lazy and the bit of animation you had didn't really impress me.

Another thing that bugged me was how there wasn't a plot or anything really going on. A lack of storyline can make your flash suffer a massive punch, even I have fallen to that fate. Just try to make some more action and animation and the flash will improve by great lengths.

You seem like a funny guy, so creating flashes dealing with humor shouldn't be a massive chore. As long as more effort is put into a flash of yours I'm sure you will achieve great success. Keep up the great work!
