The-Swain's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nursery Grimes]

Good design.

I liked this; I think my only complaint is the length (but you were ready for that, I'm sure). The mood seemed to be right where you intended it. I liked the design for the hooded gentleman with the knives. I also thought it was laid out very well.

And why did the farmer's daughter, once down the well, turn into the girl from The Ring :D

PapaQ responds:

It's an pleasure to receive a response from The Swain, a big fan of your work and the brilliant Blockhead. Thanks man.

[The adventures of Baxter]

Haha, oh jesus.

This might be the funniest thing I have ever seen. The off kilter voice for the dog was hysterical. :D

-Swain

[Cuboy Ep.2]

Hurray!

Your score keeps going up, you two cannot be stopped!!!11

You know, I was reading someone's review and I think I agreed about what they said regarding the snake intro sequence. I thought it was a nice, silly addition, but I can see how it would be difficult to snag someone with that segment if they think the rest of the cartoon is going to be a dialogue-free chase. The segment itself was ace because I knew what it was leading up to. I'm just afraid maybe some poor little newbies out there might not have :(

That's actually more like critical thinking than my opinion. I loved it :D I constantly go back to study the both of your writing, and I'm still amazed at how you can get a complicated faux-3d world to have such clean animation. TOP DRAW </busker>

EdibleCastle responds:

yeah good point, didnt seem to throw most people though.

If it looks complicated... it really isnt. All credit goes to flashes snap and tween functions.

[TANKMEN 2]

YES

1) "Make like a tree"
2) 88 mph
3) The broken-arrow pattern during the credits
4) Power of Love credits riff.

These are the BTTF references I noticed off-hand, and I STILL don't think there were enough. Though I suppose I can see how it was hard to fit in more with all that PLOT taking up so much space, haha.

Clean and well recorded as usual Jeff, and I noticed a big improvement in the backgrounds as well. OMG WHEN WILL PART3 BE OUT!! ...nah, I wouldn't do that to you.

JohnnyUtah responds:

[Gher]

SONG

Haha, energetic. Seems like there's nothing he'd rather be doing. Catchy song, too!

aap responds:

Would you like to do anything else but dance if you were going to teach communication law in Croatia on a Fulbright Fellowship?

[Mindchamber </3]

AWWWW

You guys are so cute together xoxo

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

I'm knitting him a sweater for his birthday, don't tell.

["Ashkinscrip 3.0"]

Yes.

Haha it's a shame I didn't cross paths with Eggford, but I was warned ahead of time when I showed up on Saturday. Also, I think I was the only one who understood every word out of Luksy's mouth (I don't usually have a problem with accents, and his wasn't as bad as everyone says anyway).

Nevetheless, it was like reliving the experience except for the sheer quantity of geeks who were in the background of the actual event. Nice work.

-Swain

Kart-Man responds:

Why thank you. :)

[Pheck a Goose]

Hello.

You probably could have tricked us into thinking you'd completed it with a hastily animated premise for a conclusion. I still liked it though. You have a very diverse style.

-Swain

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

I hated this cartoon so much, that I couldnt even get the motivation for a crappy copout ending.
Thats a new level of indifference for me.

Also hi :)
