HappyHarry's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ooopsie!!]

How did this get frontpage?

It's too short, there's no story, and has no real animation...

It's still a nice entry, don't get me wrong, it IS cute and shows a degree of skill, but come on, daily top 5 at best. No offence man. I like your other stuff.

peace

Excellent

This was hilarious, I really loved some of the backgrounds too, the yellow and blue linear gradient used for the sky was gorgeous, I'm gonna have to steal that one, and the broken up black lines around the buildings, and the interior of "Starbux" ....Oh man, it just all looked sweet!!

BADMAN responds:

That's cool. I think I might have to steal your tv as light source trick at some point. nice.

[Star Wars Transitions]

He uses them because...

...he was inspired to do so by the Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa..

That said, they were getting a bit crazy and a bit frequent in RoTS...

By the way, could you please tell me how you got the scrolling marquee to slant away from you like it does in the movies? Did you do that on flash or another program?

Great Movie

JeremyLokken responds:

Thanks for the info, Kurosawa has some great films. The slanted intro is actually an image made in Photoshop, using the slant tool.

Funny?

That was gut butteringly hilarious, I have just been left with with a chilling sense of discoordination and confusion, nothing has happened yet, but I am likely to bolt out of bed several nights from now screaming with laughter as blood spews from my eyes and I'm found by my family in a heap on the floor come morning.

That was stupidly, offensively, abusively, unallowably, insultingly, hideously, funny.

Well done

EdibleCastle responds:

haha "gut butteringly hilarious" i like that.

Big ass review for you

I know you've been absolutely swamped with reviews because of this cartoon's (very rightful) front page status. But I sincerely hope you get a chance to check this one out.

First things first, that kicked ass, and kicking ass is so important. Part of me wants to review this like an adult and go in to the technicalities of what made this such a good flash both visibly and story-wise, but I can see you know what you're doing, and I'd only be highlighting stuff you already know you've done, all you need to know is, that my friend, kicked some serious ass.

The reason why I'm praising this so much is for the reason that makes all excellent flashes on this site special, the fact that if this was on TV, it would still hold up. Realistically If I saw a lot of this site's front page submitions on TV, I'd change the channel pronto, but this is close to being as good as any pilot episode of a kid's TV show that you could catch on telly.

The direction of this was spot on, loads of movement, great angles, hilarious character animation and very thrilling action (I was rooting for Adam man!) and for the work of one person, it's pretty dope stuff. I haven't checked out your profile yet but if you don't do animation for a living I'll be shocked, if not, you totally have the talent to direct this stuff for a living man.

As an artist, my one criticism is a visual one, and if you care to know, it is that I thought the thin lines (though super slick) were too thin, and a chunkier bolder line would have matched the toyish looking characters, that however is pretty much it. I love this, it's great.

Take care man

over and out

[SUPER DUPER NINJA ACTION!]

Hey Raging_Tiger

Don't call him an idiot, and don't go acting all high and mighty because you're asian (apparently) because I very much doubt you're a ninja either, more like some kid who's watched one too many teenage mutant ninja turtle cartoons, COWABUNGA DUDE! The flash rocked, Peace out

[Planetarium 2: Roomates]

Very Cool

Great stuff man, really enjoyed it! I think you could benefit by adding a little more fluidity to the character's movements, but apart from that very few criticisms. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed sitting back and letting it all in.

Jokermc57 responds:

Thanx for the advice. I actualy am slowly but surely working on better fluidity.
