TonioMiguel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Lasallian]

Chistoso si

Me gustaba tu estilo de cineasta y los voces de tus personalidades. Dime que es la significa de un lasallista?

martiescageda responds:

A los estudiantes/maestros de Universidad La Salle se les llama Lasallistas. Son seguidores de las enseñanzas de San Juan Bautista de la Salle, un santo francés que era maestro. Yo estudié en una universidad lasallista y me pidieron hacer una caricatura de la escuela, así como inventé a este superheroe. (Originalmente iba a ser ewlr ector, pero no me dejaron...)

[Sketchy Friends Dance 2]

Brilliant, catchy, and mesmerizing

Simple yet titillates the mind in a mass confusion. I liked how it took form of the music rather than the music the animation. We need a little Booglafication from now and then don't hide away for too long.

TheBoogley responds:

I'll always be right there in your heart, if you truly believe in me :3

[Teen Pregnancy (AVP)]

Message ok but not any solutions

I felt it discussed the problem of being a pregnant teenager but it did not really educate either the female or the male viewer of how to avoid it. It just spouted it out as problem and gave the consequences. Sexuality among teenagers must be made clear that it is taking a large amount of responsibility on ones self especially the female. Luckily, in the US men are forced to take responsibility. Yet, many cultures lay the blame on the female when it does take 2 people to make a baby.

Your images are strong and build a good case for the problems of fooling around with sex. I would love to see you make a message for all your teenage friends to think about it deeper. Sex comes with responsibility not just for the female but males too. Although many societies do not put the responsibility on the male; they should.

tgvulture08 responds:

Wow. Thanks. ^^
I'm happy that you criticized the animation very well.
I really appreciated it.
Yeah, I too think that men should take responsibility.
I haven't managed to show it on the film though. O.O
I just focused on the views of the female..

[Santa's Tree]

Well animated

I felt it was a well animated piece from backgrounds, characters and even the magical Christmas ending. One problem, Santa planted an acorn and a pine tree appeared. You may want to have Santa plant a pine cone or perhaps look for a picture of an oak tree. Everything else was picture perfect.

Sonucais responds:

i know, i know... sorry!

[my sweet prince(complete)]

The elements are all there

I cannot say this is hard to follow at all. This seems like the day in the life of a teenager. The title even fits. The drawings are fantastic and really though out. The shower scene with the water flowing was really well portrayed. I believed the water was trickling down his body. Movement was smooth and story did not move too fast. I like it but I am not certain it does enough for me.

wiilofgod responds:

hey man , thanks for a very constructive comment. thank you

[Asaroki 11- Departure]

I enjoyed it by itself

I have not yet seen the other episodes but I can tell you are an excellent story teller and character designer. The transition from evil to good was well expressed through the use of color and heaven/hell motifs. I love the lines too. My only gripe is his neck bothers me. It needs to be proportioned better.

ArtistGamerGal responds:

Thanks a lot! I didn't think the episodes held well on their own, but hey, if you like it then cool! Oh and yeah, I hate that neck too... wanted to fix it but was too lazy to be honest... Thanks for watching! If you get the chance check out the whole series and let me know what you think :)

[Chalk Day]

Another fun idea for animating

I especially liked the sound effect for the paper moving. I would like to have some more sound effects it would make it feel more real.

Graeme responds:

I feel the same way. But there weren't a lot of instances where sounds would have fit.
I agree that the sound is important though

[Facebook Twitter]

Thank you a parody laughingly intellectualism

I have avoided twitter for the same reason. I do not see its importance since both myspace and facebook have their own rant options. Yet, this seems to be a more constructive parody than the one on Current TV's Supernews. What makes me laugh is I am a student of technology; yet, I feel no need to be caught up in the stupidity of mini rants or posted howdy doos. If I wanted tweets, I would also enjoy elevator music and completely stupid and worthless animations.

Thank you for smacking a jab at the senseless tweets on the internet.

JohnnyUtah responds:

i wont even make a dent in the worlds need to post senseless nothingness..but thats alright, ill be dead in a few decades anyways

[Ooohhh! Pantalones!]

Humorous and Muzzy-like

This reminds me of those mini lessons from BBC's Muzzy series. I think it's "Como estoy" not Como está... Because he is really asking if he is wearing them well and not if the pants are wearing him. I think the concept is amusing and fun to watch. You are right about the language videos they tend to use Spain as a model which oddly its as bad as the United States verses the UK. A Spanish video can only work for the intended dialect.

TheBoogley responds:

Muzzy? I LOVE MUZZY!!
"Are the pants wearing me?" :3

[The Final Act]

Wow, I had to watch this twice

I could get what was going by the end but I had to watch this twice to ensure I understood how it happened. Question did you use objects that you later made invisible to make this work? I can see that you probably spent a great deal of time just making the hands look so real.

A very nice but disturbing piece. I still like it.

orb responds:

Haha yeah most people don't pick up on that! I did in fact have a box and rope in the scene while working on the animation that I then made invisible when I rendered :)
