BananasFoster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blogsies 01]

I love your animations

Seriously, you are really great at getting expressions and emotions across.

In general, what I enjoyed:

- I like the "set up" and orientation of everything in your frames. It looks very interesting and organized; not at all messy. Plus, it matches the sort of "feel" you seem to be going for.

- I actually enjoy the Hebrew dub; the language barrier makes the sound all the more interesting to listen to, especially with its humorous inflections and anecdotes. It's refreshing out of the largely English-dubbed flashes on Newgrounds.

- I love your characters' expressions!

- You color and draw very well, and definitely have a very distinct style that you have made your own.

- I loved the sort of "self pity" guitar at the end; it sort of captures the mood of blogs in general -- very personal yet so public, which sort of creates a "woe is me, look at my life and things that interest me in my sometimes not so interesting world" type feeling (if that makes sense).

I can't think of anything I didn't like, other than possibly having added more blog entries! However, sometimes short and sweet and to the point is good just as well!

Overall, great job, and I can't wait to see more of your stuff.

[MusicBox]

Very creative

5/5 and 10/10 for a great piece.

Pros:

- Great stylistic design
- The music box sounds are very creative and interesting, and they mesh well with the overall feel of this animation
- I really love the color choices you made
- This was a very creative idea, which seems to do a great job at holding my horrible attention span

Cons:

-There aren't any.

I have no idea why I even bother making a "Pros" or "Cons" for some videos, when often I can't think of ways to improve things. You did a wonderful job taking something casual and not always that interesting (a music box) and rendered it into a very creative and visually/auditorially appealing animation. Great job, and I hope to see more specimens from you in the future!

[Nerds can never love]

Ooh...

You so good.

I love your art style and you did great with the animating part. You also did a wonderful and creative job with your colors.

I really had no problems with this. The timing was good, and you captured the humor of the situation very well. Great job!!

[Zelda- Link and the Pig]

Wow!

Well, I know I'm supposed to be working on my own animation for my class right now... buuut, I am going to review this instead!

I LIKED:

-The voice. Wasn't annoying, worked with the character, and wasn't stale. Good for the job it needed to do!

-Lovely animation. Everything flowed pretty good. I like how animated the characters were, which must have taken a bit of time on your part.

-Great music choices. They were all Zelda-scores, so that made it feel "at home" with itself. You put the specific songs in appropriate places, too, which of course makes it flow well and more organized instead of random nonsense music put everywhere without any thought.

-Good story. It was quirky, funny, to-the-point and wasn't drawn out shorter or longer than it needed to be. More animations should be like that so they don't degrade what is good about it. Keep it simple, which you did, and you did a wonderful job!

-Nice humor. This may be more subjective, but from what I can see, a lot of people would agree with me that you successfully made this funny. Zelda fans alike would get all of the references.

I DIDN'T LIKE:

-Nothing, really. I'm also in a great mood right now, but even if I wasn't, this was very pleasant and you did a wonderful job. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see more from you in the future!

ArtistGamerGal responds:

Thanks for the great review! Now... DO YOUR CLASSWORK!

[it'll be okay in the end.]

Very nice

Incredibly unrealistic, but hey, it's your animation and you can make it however you please. I really enjoyed this. The graphics made me feel a little iffy about it at first, but then I noticed it was on purpose to create a sort of feel, and your animating skills seem to be good. So it works!

I like how simply you showed something that very well could have been made into a long, drawn-out dramatic story, but the simplicity made it so much sweeter and effective. Many people don't realize that sometimes this can be the more effective way to tell a story. Great job!

[Battle in the Sky]

Hmm...

I'm not sure if you were going for this, but this definitely had a VERY strong FlCl feel to it. Not only the graphics and sort of the music type, but this whole video reminded me completely of the sixth episode. Whether or not this was intentional, you did a good job.

Good pointz:
-Lovely animation, sir (or madam). You certainly have talent.
-Beautiful colors, which you did fantastic with
-Cool effects---your explosions in particular were executed quite well. I also liked your atmospheric effects with the ships in the clouds, and with peoples' silhouettes.

Not-so-good Points:
-As others have said, this wasn't really a unique storyline, but it was still good.
-Lackluster on the characters and environment particularly in the beginning. The environment definitely got a lot better as the animation went on, as did the characters to a degree, so there was improvement!

So, I feel the pros outweighed the cons greatly. It was indeed a "feel-good" animation, and you are highly talented. I hope to see more from you in the future!

[BitterSweet]

Quite cool

I liked it. It was creative and the animation was quite good. I really liked the expressions on the gingerman's face; his eyes and mouth in particularly were very expressive. I only watched it here, and didn 't follow the links, so even with this lower quality version, I was still impressed. Good job!

[Tarboy]

Amazing

Very awesome animation. Everything about it was fantastic; the music was wonderful and relevant, the artwork was beautiful and the coloring great, the animation was fluid and skillful, and the storyline was good and was carried out wonderfully.

Bravo, and great job!!

[Super Smash]

Wow..

..very beautiful rendering.

Here are the pluses:

-Great choice in music!
-Very creative take on the series; I love the feel to it!
-Good animation and techniques
-Nice camera angles--keeps things interesting!

..and the very few and minor minuses:

-Seemed choppy sometimes, but I understand
-Some parts looked like less care was taken to them, but that is understandable too.

Overall, great work, and I hope to see more from you in the future!
