Lindenbree's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Natural Born Suckers: Blue Fangs]

Wow, the backgrounds are gorgeous! I like the jokes and the premise is... certainly interesting xD Losing three weeks of work though sounds awful, but it still turned out well in the end ^^ I do agree with PurplePrawn on the moving perspective shots being a bit janky, but it's honestly not something I would have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out.

[Grade A Under A - FAN ANIMATION]

Nice, I like Grade A and I like animations so, of course I like this! What you added in fit perfectly with the ideas you kept from his video (like the butt for "crack"), I think ^^ The new aspects didn't seem out of place at all, I like the family part xD

[Thrift Store Clothes : Foamy The Squirrel]

Yea, Germaine speaks the truth <.< I still have outfits from preteen years that by some miracle fit still, and they've held together for almost a decade. If I get a new shirt now, made for adult women, half its buttons will fall off in a month and seams will start tearing apart -.-'

[San's April Fools Joke]

Wow xD Sans' voice is a bit quiet compared to Papyrus, but the acting is good and it was pretty funny x3

[Tech-Savvy Tektiti]

Wow, great job! The art and animation is good and the sound effects are implemented perfectly! None of them seemed out of place, if I didn't already know, I'd have never guessed the animation was customized around the sounds, and not the other way.
I like the story, that poor tektiti x3 The situation feels intense without going way over the top, which I appreciate.

[SAJ2016: Building Rage]

Nice! Nice art, jokes, and voice acting. I love that he got fired, I've gotten used to web animations going in the craziest direction, and then he's just slapped with reality. Makes me wonder if the next scene would have been him getting arrested x3

[Nightmare Crusade - Episode 1: The Nightmare Begins]

Seriously? Wow. Like, just kill yourself.
(Nah, kidding, don't do that x3)

So the art and animation isn't the greatest, but you've definitely set up a story that kept my interest. I have no idea why Norman is spitting glass, and the king wants this dragon... but you've made me interested to know! Idk what was up with that smiley creature in the cave or what woke Norman up, but I'm interested to find out those too!

About the voices, none of the voices for the crusaders (I think this is what the robed people are) really stood out as unique, which, normally would be fine. However, since there's little indication of which character is talking since their faces are covered (no mouth movements for example), sometimes it's hard to tell who's speaking when multiple crusaders are in the same shot. On the topic of voices, some of the mic quality was a bit low, I could hear a lot of sharp sounds from the red crusader and the blue knight's voice was way too loud. The actual voice acting were all decent though! There's a lot of room for improvement (sometimes it seemed a bit too monotone), but I feel like effort was definitely made. I also like... Googly, er... Moogily... whatever the ghost's name is, I like his voice particularly.

While the rule of expositing in a video is usually show not tell, and I feel like this did the opposite, I still managed to sit through the whole thing without getting bored. Blue Knight's "faggot" made me chuckle both times, and I liked the red crusade guy's speech and demonstration on how being brave is counter productive, because he's so right. His attitude is amusing as well, how annoyed he acts, and I feel like he'd stand out even better with more dramatic body movements.

The character designs do their job, I can distinguish who I need to, but most of them feel kind of generic.

So, anyway... There's a lot of flaws with this but I still enjoyed it. I can tell a ton of work was put into it and I hope you continue with this. The length if impressive and I'm interested in the story now. Surely you'll get even better at animating next time! Best of luck and congrats on finishing this ^^

MasterCyconide responds:

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it and yes, I understand it has a lot of flaws. One of the major reasons it took almost a year to get this done was the fact that I had to redo the entire thing like three times because it just didn't turn out right or I had better ideas for it.

As for the show not tell thing, I had that on my mind the entire time I was making this. In the original version, there was actually a narration that just puked up the entire backstory right in the beginning. Yeah, it was awful. Thank god I took that out. I guess at times things got out of hand and I felt they needed to be explained by one of the characters to avoid confusion. Another flaw in the writing department was maybe having too much backstory, as I might have made everything a bit too vague. I'll have things fixed up better in the second episode now that I know my way around Flash better and have a solid plan for a script. :)

Also, the ghost's name was "Boogly".

[9 to 5]

Nice! It's energetic and fits well with the song. The art is simple but everything is so exaggerated and dramatic it's still really fun to watch ^^

Lukezer responds:

Thanks! :)

[You're Gonna Go Far, Kid]

It was pretty cute, but it pretty much is just a picture bouncing. The poses are neat, but I don't think there's enough of them to keep the video interesting ^^' I do really like the colours though, and the song is very upbeat!

[Pop Tarts- Smores]

Yea... pretty much how those commercials go. Nice job replicating its style! The bloody mangled body at the end is a nice touch... goes to show how messed up those commercials are if you think about it.
