andrew-w-p's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mariza, Stubborn Donkey]

What an ass!

The spinning scene was great! I have an English Bulldog that acts in a similar way. She has to go upstairs to sleep and never wants to climb up, but once there is just fine. My music however is a dog bone.

Well done! I am not surprised this won at a festival. I am surprised it didn't win more. The emotion and expression on the donkey is bar none, top notch!

conkrys responds:

Thanks! It did ok. This was was first proper short animated film done for Uni in 2008. Happy to hear you like it. :-)

Zero stars

what the fuck is up with your nitwits and this whole "watch me draw" crap. Its not a video, hell youre too fucking lazy to talk or even add music to this bullshit.

Why would you ever think that ANYONE would want to watch you fuck around in Photoshop? Just stick to posting this garbage to your deviant art account. Newgrounds if for ANIMATIONS, not a sad sack, junky, cant even be called filler, blam point waiting to happen.

Brobeck responds:

Well, that was less then friendly, but ok. Newgrounds is for all form of art, not just animations. Maybe I´m wrong, but then at least I wouldn´t be the only one. There is sounds to the video, I don´t know what happened to it though, so I guess I have to give you that one.
"Sad sack, junky, cant even be called filler" you are a true master of the english language, your mother must be immensely proud of you. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Great stuff, love the mix of different animation styles. This team did a great job, the quality is superb. The dedication of the crew really shines through. Is easy to tell ya'll wanted to really make something wonderful and unique here.

Was this group of artists just some sort of school project, or will there be more to come?

fr0b responds:

Thanks for kind words.
Not school. Just motivated people for make something really good and unique.
It was a 3 years of fun :)
Yes! We will make something fresh again!

[Merry Melony: Book 1 (pg]

God damn, a real blast from the past right here! So many of us have been waiting since 2005 for you to return Meony to the grounds! I didnt believe it was true when this showed up on my NG home page. My disappointment that this is only a teaser in comic book format is palpable, but over ridden by my absolute exuberance that this came back from the dead, even if the story is going to be different. Cant say as I like that idea, but it's not my place to make that call, its yours as the artist/creator.

Lets see if this takes off, or falls flatter than my hopes in 05 when MM first died of neglect. I have to ask though, why a new story? The first was never finished and so many of us loved what was there in the original animation! Why not work with that instead of a total reboot? Format/style I can understand, but I cant fathom why the new direction in the story....

Waiting with bated breath, just wont hold my breath

Duhreetoh responds:

I'm starting over because I learned a whole world of information about storytelling, art and animation since I first started. You'll find that many of the things that happened in the original will happen in the comic, but in different places. I'm a different person now and want to tell a deeper story while still being true to what people liked. A dozen pages in, tell me if you're still disappointed, and if so, thats on me :)

[Spilt Coffee]

I like it, your style is really neat. Super god damned creepy too. Its a real 180 from your usual style, but still similar enough to tell its you. Full on 5 stars for going outside your norm and maybe even comfort zone *?* and experimenting.

Looking forward to seeing more from you

Gerkinman responds:

Thanks mate, im glad you enjoyed the short. Sometimes I worry that my work can be a little too different and people cant tell its me from project to project, but im glad you found it still noticeably me.

I look forward to seeing whats next from me too! Ha ha.
