Morgan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skull in Connemara]

Nice and Mysterious...

Such raw dirty animation worked well for the piece and visually it was very enjoyable to watch. The soundtrack also worked quite well. Being Irish, the stereotypes were still visible but it didn't bug me that much in this. The idea of having it shown through mist was simply genius, and such an exciting incentive whilst animating it! At the moment I'm animating something quite similar for an Irish comedian called Jon Kenny. Before he jumps on stage a small animation of him will play on an overhead projector signalling his arrival.
Anyway, great stuff, it looks wonderful.

TheBoogley responds:

I wasn't sure if it seemed irish enough, but I know what you mean about stereotypes. I hope you upload the animation when it's finished, send me a link when it's out, I'd love to see it.

[Coal, Wood, Rivers]

It wasn't boring at least.

You've got a nice loose colouring method. The character animation and background designs also look nice. However the humour didn't work for me at all and 'Wood' was painful as a song. The professionalism raised the bar but there are some major things wrong with it. You have Animation skills but your way of telling a story is pretty weak.

[Nhazul vs. Mr. Pix]

Great energy, great flow.

Cool, that works for me. It was exciting, gory and the animation was pretty inventive. What made this different to the countless others is that one stickman had the ability to morph and the other used a weapon (i.e. different characterisations).

[EW: Moving Targets]

All-round Great short film!

Very cool short film, I just recently became a fan. This particular episode is interesting because there are similarities between the scene where the crew fall out from the army plane and a short animation I made back in 2006. The story, composition and humour are quite similar. I would love to know whether or not it the scene was based on my film, because that would be awesome! Probably not, but hey, I can dream!

[The Struggling Artist]

Good start

Not too shabby for your first flash -- don't upload any more tests though. Work on a fleshed out short film and then upload.

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

Based on Pulp Fiction? Apsolutely!

Nice! I love the colour scheme, the angles, the humour and modesty - it's very tempting in animation to overdo something, yet everything was kept very grounded including the facial expressions.
Topped off with quick simple credits and a side order of pancakes.
Awesome!

[Robotic Octopus Snowman]

Screwing over the audience.

Well yeah, the graphic design and animation was beautiful, but you really screwed us over with how short it was. I'm not sure the timing was quite right either.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

yeah bro i totally made this to screw you guys over
i TOTALLY didnt make this because i felt like it.
idiot.

[The Homeless Vagabond]

The rise of John the Hobo

Great stuff man. The graphic design was wonderful and the song made it. Lovely flash.

[Dog Of Man]

Creepy, but slightly dissapointing.

Another flash to scare the pants off un-suspecting viewers - the sound must be praised as it is what makes it (particularally the speaker noise radiating from the dogs mouth). Besides this, I'm not quite sure it lived up to my expectations because it's been a while since the last flash and this one (altough creepy) is really just a generic Firth flash. The story has changed slightly but it's pretty much the same thing. I would love a longer one next time with a more in-depth world to ponder over.
Still, grand flash.

[John McCain]

The mind of John Mc Cain is a desturbed one...

Nice and random with a pinch of craziness thrown in for good measure. Loved the psychedelic sequences!
Pretty funny.
