thecooldrawingguy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Island Is Up To No Good! (Pilot)]

This is SUPER solid in it's pacing and dialogue, I'd love to see something like this with a score and full animation, but that is not meant to discount a single piece of this, you are so fuckin' good, man, it has so much life in it, with so much appeal and energy, it is such a fun watch.

there is no music cue more mysterious than the back to the future twinkle tho

WillHeff responds:

Thanks so much man, this comment made my day! Hoping to animate it all at some point. its funny you mention a score, a scoring competition just used it as their template haha

[The 5th Birthday]

Is this inspired by Jan Lenica's A, I fucking love that movie and I fucking love this movie, really incredible work.

Merol responds:

Thanks a lot!! It's inspired by StrawberryClock's B: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/28240
But thanks a lot for the reference, that movie looks interesting as hell, I'm going to watch it.

[Toy Story 2 Redialed | Director's Cut | Version 3.0]

Really great work, guys, it's insane how well it flows together; I wish I had time to work on it before, it's such a beautiful collaboration.

WesMakowski responds:

Come join us for the next one ;)

[Bubblin' (Halloween 2022)]

I'm so glad this website has a creator like you, you have so much love in your work, I dig the pallete in this one a lot. Distinctly Halloween but distinctly gatekid, nobody else does it like you, man, I can't imagine the work that goes into this stuff

gatekid3 responds:

Im glad you think so. I always start second guessing a thing before i post it. So im always worrying

[SIGN LANGUAGE]

Perfect in every way, great great shit.

Dogmintz responds:

Thank you very much!

[Sweet Tooth]

You are so damn cool, I really love this thing, the main character is so cute. Genuinely stunning, I hope a ton of eyes see this thing, your work is some of my favorite I've discovered on the site, your influences seem endless.

Toastcrumch responds:

Tysm that means the world to me!

[Dance Of Destiny]

OH MY GOD, IT'S YOU. You inspired me so much when I decided I wanted to start animating, you bring elegance to everything you do. This is gorgeous, this is funny, and this is inspiring. I'm glad this exists and I'm glad to see more from you, good shit

CatFat responds:

wow, I'm thrilled to hear that!

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Tito's Pants]

I like how things go to weird, kind of emotional places without drawing too much attention to itself, the tone keeps rocking and its still super funny but the through lines are never lost, this shit rocks, man. You guys are fucking great.

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks a lot!! really nice to hear that

[Buzzkill]

Shoutouts to Justin, I fucking love this soundtrack. I think the ways some shots cut together is a bit odd (a little jumpcut-y) but it looks so good and the dialogue, music, and art, fucking SLAP so hard. This is really fucking great, y'all. I ADORE the voice acting, super warm sounding, not too overacted, it's very sweet.

wollymight responds:

Thanks!! Michael and I did the VO ourselves. and forreal, Justin is the MVP. This would straight up not be the piece it is without him, as well with my other pieces. I love that guy

[Dr. Duppl (Pilot)]

I'd love to do music for a project like this, I find this really charming! School is brutal, with more time, this shit would be perfect. Really dope!

PurpenPink responds:

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH! That means a lot to us! We adore your works so hearing feedback from you is wonderful! Also, we're taking our time on episode 1 of the series proper (and we even got to use a real recording booth for lines!) so I hope it'll be enjoyed even more! Again, thank you!
