PumpkinPlague's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spleencabbage]

I don't like your tone.

I don't like your tone. You’re in Canada, and you are showing all these images of the US fighting with people? Well ... We gave you Canada. In fact the US gave the french the shittiest part of the continent, as a reward for helping us out. Why did you help out? Only cause you wanted land.

All you have to do is hide up their like a panty waist. You guys are safe, because you’re on the same block as big brother. If I am a capitalist pig, I guess that makes you the rat, hiding in the hay.

I am pretty sure I hate you.

Really, Really, Really cool & Engaging

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- Really, Really, Really cool & Engaging
2- I like your artwork and animation style, nice production
3- The music matched the animation perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if David Bowie had a look at this eventually!
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- There were a few scenes where I could see something strange on the left or right. Maybe could use a 3-4 pixel border ... ?
2- The tin can capsule could use some work. The shading looks weird
3- I think you could have cut the song maybe in half. I mean I am not sure if making the animation last the song was the best thing for it.

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

1- COOL Characters!

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- COOL Characters!
2- I liked the jokes
3- Nice Animation, and cool backdrops ...
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- The ending, kind of disappeared. Maybe a fade out ... ?
2- Your email is not linkable at the end
3- Maybe a little background music could have helped carry it a bit

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

ChrisMayo responds:

Initially, the ending was supposed to be abrupt. After the spit hits Calix Hellix's face and he blinks and we hear the blink sound, I cut to black. I took that out for the end credit so the background matched, and lost the effect. I should have added a fade or something equivalent. I never thought of making the email linkable. It’s a good idea, next time. I definitely agree that background music would have worked. I wanted to use some, but I didn’t want to use copyrighted music, and I don’t know where to find royalty-free cartoony music. Any suggestions? I’m glad you liked the animation, and thanks for the constructive criticism. I agree. Thanks for reviewing.

[Potato Man]

For your age - IMPRESSIVE!

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- It was pretty funny
2- I liked the sound of the Grim Potato’s voice
3- That was a cool sword effect
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- Sound was a little choppy
2- I would have liked to have seen 'Potato Man,' look more like a potato
3- It would have been cool to see the Grim Potato take a swing at Potato man with that big scythe!

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

[Caution, Baka at Work]

Nice looking artwork

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- Nice looking artwork
2- Interesting characters
3- I liked the flow and the music
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- Would have liked to seen it a bit longer
2- It would have been cool to hear some more sound FX besides the theme song
3- I would have liked to hear the people talking, along side the text blurbs

Good job!
Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

[under my bed]

1- Great idea

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- Great idea
2- Cool music
3- Nice colors
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- Graphics ran too slow. They need to be sped up a few
beats.
2- The graphics were a little poor. They could use some work.
3- I would have liked to see more artwork, than just the guy and the bed. Maybe some things to help tell the story better. For example the room, under the bed, the closet, the moon, etc.

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

george-berry responds:

thanks, il take thse into account when i make my next animation

[Safe Sex?]

Susy needs a girl voice. That part scared me ...

Hello there ...

3 good things ...
-------------------------------
1- Graphics looked pretty decent
2- Concept seemed like a winner
3- Seemed fairly Infomercial'ish
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- Voice over needs a lot of work. It sounded choppy
and the voice seemed 'pubescent.'
2- It needed to be a few beats faster ... it went a little slow
3- I think Susy needs a girl voice. That part scared me.

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

[All Your BLAM!]

3- The caricatures looked very REAL
================
3 bad things ...
-------------------------------
1- Wished it would have been longer
2- Were the explosions supposed to look pixilated?
3- I don't get the 'Stick Clock' guy ...

Peace,
'The Pumpkin Plague'

capn-g responds:

In response to the bad:

1- Sorry, I onl;y have so much time on my hands
2- Yes, yes they were, you know, like a video game?
3- Sticks and Clocks at one time represented all that was wrong and evil on NG, so combining them into the ultimate villan made sense back then. Now their accepted. These are dark times indeed...

[-Where it Ends-]

Disco/Techno thing happening ...
