Kwing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Warspawn Hides]

This was mad amusing. Can't really speak on the length since this was animated around an existing audio clip, but the animation was a little weak and the guy you drew looks absolutely NOTHING like Spawn. This animation is a pretty good pot shot at him though.

[The Dojo Collab 2]

I just found this in my feed and I really don't know what to say. This is really incredible. You've put together a GIGANTIC assembly of artists - most of these people I don't know, but I was surprised to see animators like Domics making an appearance when the dojo started as a pretty niche FluidAnims thing. The proportions of this animation were on par with TopStick, what with all of the different animators involved, the difference here being that this is actually a collab.

For whatever reason, this made me really, really miss Luccas. For all of the fullbody animation and flawless particle effects here, I didn't see a lick of 3D animation and I get this gut feeling like he's the last missing piece in this collab, even moreso than Phil.

Not sure what to say other than that this is mad impressive. Though, I really didn't care for the music. Thumping techno beats have always annoyed me and they seem to have become more common in Stickpage/FluidAnims animations as of late. Call me old-fashioned but I miss the use of X-Ray Dog and nu metal from animations of the past.

[The Pigpen]

Holy shit. This is the most disturbing and captivating animation since Salad Fingers. I really don't know what to say about this. It bears a strong resemblance to Scrat from Ice Age, but then again it goes into far darker territory. The pig is neurotic and twitchy, and the themes are incredibly macabre. I really don't know what there is to say about this.

It would have been nice if this at least had some sort of plot or symbolism. You said yourself that it didn't, so I have no problem docking a half star because of it.

[Chuck's New Tux!]

Gotta give credit for the presentation. The graphics could stand to be a little more colorful but it's really not bad. This progresses naturally too, and has great sound effects and music, though the voice acting was INCREDIBLY obnoxious. The ending was pretty damned funny. I think it built up to an 'expect the unexpected' moment, but seeing the gore at the end was a great contrast in comparison to the cheesy buildup.

[Waterlollies]

Quite interesting. I remember not thinking much of this when it came out, but this is damned impressive. The particle effects, frame by frame, everything are totally spot on and not only is this animated well but you really set the mood too. My only complaint is that the camera angles change very frequently which sometimes makes it hard to get a good feel for what's going on, or even to see more than a few smoothly animated movements at a time.

[Monster hunter Egg runs]

Yep, that just goes to prove it, I think. No one ever makes a Monster Hunter animation unless it's to bitch about how unfair the game is.

I felt like the whole thing about the eggs popping up repeatedly was a little deviant from the true Monster Hunter world, where you typically only get ~3 eggs per quest. However, I definitely did enjoy the animation and the wyvern chugging the egg made me laugh. Nice animation, really good work with the sounds. Seemed a little short on ideas but I really liked this.

[Sex Hair]

Genuinely amusing. Like many Newgrounds animations, this was short, hammy, and a little over the top. Unlike many animations, it's tasteful, being camp without reaching that obnoxious stage of surrealism. I liked the cartoony art style, though at a few points it was rough around the edges and the mic quality wasn't the greatest, though everything else was pretty darned good.

WooleyWorld responds:

... you're gonna love the sequel. ;D

[Animator vs. Animation]

Short but sweet. I can definitely vouch for the creativity in this one - particularly, the gun that shot frames and firing an eraser as a projectile to cut it in half. Simple, clever, and well-animated. I noticed at a few points certain animations (the blade that was scribbled out, the animation shaking hands with his copy) seemed to be ways to 'fill in gaps to allow one part of the animation to progress while the other did not. This is really a minor issue though, and for 2006 this is absolutely jaw-dropping.

[Animator vs. Animation IV]

Whoa, I certainly was not expecting this. You did a really great job here. Your physics and fullbody animation are incredibly impressive and set a new landmark. Sounds/graphics/etc are mostly the same as they've always been, though I like how you made a new twist incorporating the smartphone. Did you animate that on its own and have to pantomime your fingers over it?

There were a few shortcomings I noticed in this animation, or at least things I didn't like, but none of them really takes away from it enough for me to say that this isn't better than the last installment. First of all, your particle effects are not nearly as prevalent in this as they were in AvA3. Second, I felt the story was a little more Disney-esque with the "we're friends now" ending, which seemed a little cheesy to me, given the way the rest of the series has gone. That said, you did a really amazing job here and you really stepped up your game.

[Five Nights At Freddy's (]

Normally I wouldn't give a something like this a 4/5 but I have to admit that the punchline really got me, moreso than the other parodies on this site, regardless of whether or not they were better drawn or better animated. Nice animation bro, I got a laugh out of this.

Chauder responds:

Lol thank you :)
