Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Patriot Pig Number 1]

Clever and colorful!

Excellent production value, and a great sense of political humor. This is grade-A cartoon quality.

[Sounds Of Thunder]

Excellent storytelling.

A very well-done movie. I particularly enjoyed the narration, even though I don't speak Russian. The story was simple but compelling, and well-portrayed. This is also one of the longer flash movies I've seen in some time. Excellent work.

[Grim Reaper Feb 04]

Deathly funny.

A decent Reaper installment. The dialouge's not quite as funny as some previous eps, but the concept is solid.

[Tortoise Vs. Hare (Redux)]

Turtle shells it out.

Good line animation, but at the expense of color, background, and a solid ending. It smacks heavily of the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon, but I like the spin on the turtle's solution.

[(2003)Marrie Ecks Mus]

You get clay in your stocking.

Do you buy clay in bulk? Because at the rate you pump out claymation movies, you must be putting the hobby store's kid through college.
.
Anyhow, good movie. A little dialouge-heavy, but it got more interesting towards the end. I love cameos.

[The Thanksgiving Turkey]

Gobble Gobble.

It's never too late for a good Turkey flick. Think of it as being 11 months early for Thanksgiving 2004. The animation's jerky and the art is spotty, but it's an enjoyable piece.

[Pink Lemonade opening vid]

Exactly what you'd expect.

Great animation, and stays true to the frentic, flirty, psuedo-pornographic style of Japanese "H" animation. If you like that sort of thing. Of course, it's utterly shallow and plot-free, but that's expected too.

Oh what the heck. KAWAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!! ^_^

[Nightmare Of Sanity]

Scary in a sense.

Very creepy. Partly because of the content, but mostly because of the production value of this piece. Agnst and insanity is hard to portray on screen, and this just doesn't capture it.

[--The Bard's Song--]

Needs more creativity.

While I like the Bard's Song, this movie isn't that much different from the original version to stand on its own. The art's been touched up, and I suppose a play button is nice. But the storyboarding is completely the same, and the animation is still sparse (a fault that bothers me from the original). I DO like the improvements, but it just needs more creativity.

Magna responds:

Why should it be very different from the original? The style of this is much different from the original. The pictures in the are Jpegs, imported into flash that were drawn by hand. They weren't 'touched up'.

[The 12 Pains of Christmas]

Clocktastic.

Delightful! Aside from a clever clock adaptation to a great song, you also managed to stay consistently fresh with repeated scenes. Job well done!
