Lambtaco's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rick and Morty: The delicious taste of ice cream]

As much as I enjoy Justin Roiland's R&M riffing, Turning it into a full animation just brings out the flaws. I mean, it works as something to listen to on a podcast or while playing a game, but when you listen to it and look at the characters as they're saying it, it's just kind of boring. I hesitate to use the term, but it just feels like it's trying too hard.

Judge Morty was great, because it was based on a scripted piece, so the pacing was good. Even though the characters weren't actually doing much, but it really stands out in this one. The repetition and realism in the dialogue really works better in small doses.

Four stars for effort, and the details/references. Not many people will do an on-model fan animation. Props to you for that. It's actually a lot of work. It just din't pay off as well as it did with Judge Morty.

Constructive criticisms: The linework on the characters seem a bit off. Maybe they're a little too thick? Not sure but they just seem slightly off. And sometimes the characters seem a bit too expressive. Their facial expressions are exaggerated compared to the plain dialogue. Though I understand animating the same expressions and poses gets really boring.

Troll criticism: You can't hear a voicemail in the vacuum of space.

tiarawhy responds:

Very fair points, thanks for the critique!

[Break Yourself 2.6]

Pretty good.

It was funny, and it made sense. A rare combination. But you should tone down the gradients. It looks like it was made in 2002 because of the harsh gradients and straight lines. But maybe that's just your style. Anyhow, good work.

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, nowadays a lot of people almost cell shade their flash but I was trying a different style. I'm a bit of a black sheep

[Sprite Crew TT #1]

That's okay.

The whole thing was just sort of okay. Except the Tetris one, it kicked ass. I don't mean to offend but if all these had been submitted individually only the Tetris one would pass judgement. Give the artists more time for the time trial and the results should be better.

MeatwadSprite responds:

your face was just sort of okay.

[Ratiocination Episode 1]

It aws okay.

But learn to tween.
And the graohics could be better.

Ryan-Smith responds:

thanks for the....tips?

[Wars We Need to See]

Good

But the singer isn't great.

PlasmicSteve responds:

He's great at making spaghetti, our singer. Mmmmmm....
