FlumpyTripod's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Future is Robotic!]

Entertaining. The visuals and style is very 1930s, but the narration and the anti-communism stuff felt very 1950s to me. Not that it can't have aspects from multiple eras, but it felt a little offputting(?) to me that it seemed to want to be specifically 1930s, yet felt more like the 50s. Not that that is really a problem, just felt a little off to me. I don't know if that's a real criticism, but I liked it besides that.

KloudKat responds:

Yeah I know exactly what you mean about that. I looked up and there were smaller red scares around the time period, but yeah it doesn't really have the same impact. I was gonna make other, more time appropriate jokes, like more Great Depression and there was a joke about the Weimar republic and alluding to everyone not realising WW2 was just around the corner, but I had to cut for time. I think I got a little too attached to the Communist jokes in this one.

I really like the idea of robots in a zoo with 1930s flair. The animation was alright, and the background art didn't really feel 1930s (maybe it was the colors), but it was entertaining.

DannyBG responds:

Yeah, I was trying to replicate the water colors backgrounds of the style and was kind of figuring it out on the go.

[The 2nd Wilhelm Tragedy]

This is fantastic. I loved the music, and the visuals are great. It has the 1930s aesthetic, but it also felt like a giant robot anime. Really outstanding work.

[MUTT and CHOPPS]

Seriously, this is fucking awesome. The Mutt and Chopps shorts were great, but seeing a longer version of it with a higher production value was incredible. Its so cool that you guys have made it this far. Amazing work, looking forward to the future.

[Flood-Dream]

I really like the weird gritty style.

[bad dream]

Jesus Christ that is some good animation.

[Fish Fetish]

I really like your animation style. I wish your videos were longer though, they feel like they just started and they're over. The short videos work, but I'd like to see some more extensive content in your style.

Skldude responds:

Hey man if I had the time and the money I'd be on that shit. Thanks though

[Tantalus]

I like your simple art and animation style. Interesting little video.

[A Recipe for Bad Dreams]

Really great stuff. Your artstyle is amazing and your animation works really well with the low framerate. The only slight issue I saw was there were occasional parts where I think adding one or two more frames would help out, but it works everywhere else. Great job.

antdung responds:

Thanks for watching! I always get knocked for the frame rate during these competitions T_T need more time!!!

[Ducky!]

Fun little animation. I like your characters and sound effects. The ending scream is great. I've noticed that scream in a lot of stuff recently...

ChutneyGlaze responds:

I know! gotta love that Ty Fighter Scream!
