DoonGhard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Celine & Cheswick: Housebreaking!]

Excellent stuff! Your characters are appealing, the animation is gorgeous and the charismatic flow of every expression is something to be marveled at!

The 3 years of work were well spent. Great job to everyone who worked on this.

[Dez, Down in Front!]

Absolutely great, it's fun, artistically diverse and you can see the effort and dedication in every action. Wonderful job!

[FREDS MARRIAGE IS ON THE ROCKS!]

Barn I think I got crabs. Lemme hit my balls with my club.

[Clone High Reanimated: A ROPE OF SAND]

Excellent job to everyone, this came out beautifully. I can't believe I got my part done in a week.

[The Beatles Meet Miku]

Phenomenal. An historically accurate documentary that subverts expectations regarding the legacies of Ringo, Paul, George, Miku and John. A tear-jerking reminder of the loss of all 4 members, 3 being killed in a Yellow Submarine accident and John being shot by a deranged young Yuji Naka because a cartoon blue rat from a pinball machine told him that John was a communist lizard hippie from another planet.

You nailed every aspect of the historical intricacies. Congratulations. I hope this gets picked up for an Oscar nomination. Sorry I haven't had my pills yet and

[How Daisy got into Wonder]

Who wants to drive through the poison mushroom forest?

This is beautifully animated, by the way.

[HELLBENDERS - Applooza]

The title card alone is a testament to what adult swim greatly missed out on. Smiling Friends is great, but this was perfect.

[Miyazaki is my Dad!]

"Tweens are for pussies."

....I mean..... can't argue with that...

[Immortality Killed The Lich]

lol why does he sound like Butt-Head's "come to Butt-Head" voice trying to imitate Johnny Bravo's inflections?

[Kevin's Diner]

This is very impressive and it's imaginative. I can tell there was a lot of inspiration behind these character designs. It's fun and creative.

My main critique is the animation itself. There is a heavy reliance on the use of zips and smears for basic motion, and the stretchy-bounciness to influence a cartoony atmosphere becomes exhausting if you don't mediate it with some amount of weight to the character's actions and physiques. It kind of feels like the animator(s) weren't very confident with their artistic liberties to play around with their characters and just relied on Animaniacs/Tiny Toon Adventures zaniness to keep a level of interest, which I personally believe is the wrong way to go about it.

There were times where it looks like the animators had some idea of how they wanted to exaggerate their characters (like with the horse guy's freakout) but then decided to play it safe by relying on vintage cartoon gags (like morphing into a train whistle) at the last minute.

There is a lot of promise for the animators and storyboard artists, because I really do like the effort and the characters, I think that they should work on figuring out how to capitalize on their artistic abilities, because they're really good.
