calslater's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Santas workshop]

From a visual standpoint it's a technical masterpiece. Hope you've been hired by at least one major studio

One minor critique I can eek out is that it gives off student reel vibes from an audio and character acting standpoint. So from an animator perspective it's top notch, but the average passerby may have an issue with that.

That's about all I can say though!

[One Reality Over - [new management]]

Animation is really cute. Characters are clear. Not sure what the story was or the punchline was or what's going on, but it's cute.

albmoore responds:

Thanks! This is "episode" #11 in a series I've been doing and posting here. I'm keeping each one under 1 min to make them quicker to produce.

[Amphibia]

Wow... I... didn't expect to feel so many emotions

[Anger - Punk Pig]

Art is great. Animation is expressive and cute.

Acting and sound is pretty crummy, and it takes the impact of the joke down a few pegs. Easy enough to find talented voice actors with decent sound set ups. Same with the record scratch sound effect- way too cliche. Good luck, though!

[On the Edge of Absolve]

fascinating style! Hypnotic

Voice acting and sound could use a LOT of work

lpart responds:

Agreed, I'll be trying to polish that up moving forward! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[Hazbin Hotel BG Parallax 01]

Without motion blur it looks really jumpy. Great drawings, though!

Spectralbeacon responds:

I will give it a try next time! The Musical shot had a lot of VFX and a moving character so it was a lot to juggle at once

[Legend of Tomato]

Gorgeous Art

[bart]

Pretty good for a style test. I'd love to see this expanded into something longer.

[Shrek is Tired]

You actually made me laugh out loud at a Pickle Rick joke. I don't understand how, but maybe I shouldn't question it.

The style is overall pretty cliched, and doesn't stand out much among piles of "Newgrounds" stuff, but you still made it work.

Pretty good!

I just found one of my new favorite things :o

I'll have to watch it a few times over pick out all the jokes and references. Similarly, the background is so jam-packed that the stiff animation actually works in your favor. The characters felt REAL. Like the occupied real space, where as with something like Family Guy or Regular Show (the closest things I could compare your visual style to) is so simplistic that it's all obviously a cartoon. Way to keep six feet ahead of the viewer at all times :)

Honestly can't think of any gripes. I really hope to see you go mainstream soon.

slugstudios responds:

Wow, thanks so much! That's exactly the effect we wanted to go with for the set - a place that feels cozy and inviting and really sucks you in with all the little details
