JakBaronKing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[: Museums :]

Very Sound Advice

I myself remember back in Elementary that the teachers would do the whole book thing too. Although I don't think it was a ploy to weed out the immature and loud ones. We traveled as a group and we were instructed to stay very quite.

YES IT WAS AGGRAVATING! I was SOOOOOO bored. Back then all I cared about was video games and comic books.

So I agree, Museums should be reserved for students with a bit more sophisticated refinery and understanding of art.

In fact, such school trips should be optional and worthy of school credit for attending as long as they write a report on it.

I like this rant, I really do.

[24HRC3 : The Portal]

Amazing what people can do in 24 hours!

All of these animation shorts were incredible and wonderfully presented!

This is indeed a fun thing to enjoy, watching people put their full effort in a short grasp of time.

[NiN10Doh: ToThe64thPower]

It was just okay.

It was a mix of feelings that I can express while watching this. I was impressed by the animation but not pulled into it like before.

Some submissions I really liked for it's nearly flawless animation, but the overall jokes were bland in comparison to your previous collabs. Granted it does touch a few relatable jokes for mature audiences, but the whole "boys-bitch-fit" and "getting caught spanking" has been done to death! Allot of these familiar scenarios are simply replaced it with Nintendo characters.

But for those more in-depth jokes, the target audience is for people who are very familiar with the video game titles and related the jokes on a "personal" level. But I feel that a small handful of gamers in comparison to the people who played these games will relate. This flash submissions are strictly for........"dedicated" Nintendo fans of the game titles.

The overall voices were probably the weakest aspect with the exception of some roles played for the male roles. But the diversity of female roles playing other than Kira Buckland is really improving now. For example, Crystal's role at the beginning reminded me of professional theatre.

HOWEVER - on a more PLUS SIDE - Some of these submission features some of the best animation I had ever seen on Newgrounds!

I especially liked the animation submissions by Chris Niosi and Dave Smith. Those sequences of vector based animation are perfect to say the least. Carly & Richie's animation of well...animals....is just wow. It's really good for anthropomorphic characters. You obviously studied the anatomy of "furry" heh. Although don't be insulted if I don't fully understand the terminology. I've been accused of not knowing allot about anime culture despite being Japanese.

Great job you guys. You worked hard and it was worth waiting for. But it personally wasn't that funny to me.

[Hilarious Cat Sleeping!!!]

heh heh, that's funny, good message.

Although that video didn't pull up when I did the exact word search. Someone needs to post that video. Tom Fulp should film his cats like a lonely cat lady.

You should post pictures of your trip or make a flash about it. We wanna hear about it.

SamGreen responds:

Haha not a great deal to report, just meeting the man behind the operation was great. Same for JohnnyUtah. :D

[Snowy VII In Space]

Meh, it wasn't the most engaging episode

It's almost like a face palm to my forehead because of it's nonsensical plot direction.

I really didn't like how the previous background explanations are changed per episode. I mean, yeah it served well for the previous ones but this was just too out-there.

I suppose for intended humor, this was meant to confuse and irritate the audience.

Aside from a weak plot device, the overall animation and voice acting was pretty decent. With the exception of the two APPLE twins who appear just a bit on the still side for animation.

I still look forward to the conclusion.

[Zanta Claws III]

TOMS A TERRORIST!!!

Hahaha Good writing Tom. Excellent rapping skills.

These episodes are always a treat to watch. I love how you put allot of effort into the animation and writing. Obviously it's a team effort so I applaud each and every one of you.

I hope you guys in jolly old England have a grand Merry Christmas!

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep3]

(T_T) . . . sigh

If the intention is to emulate all the flaws in anime, why would that be enjoyable to watch?

I read the reviews of these other viewers. I understand the jokes. But I just don't find it funny.

I mean absolutely no offense to the creators of this popular series. But if I don't express how I truly feel, then I show no respect to the creators.

The show's story seems jagged & disengaging and the voices are lack luster and unappealing. I don't think all english anime voices are THAT bad! The animation is by far the sloppiest stuff I've ever seen you guys animate. And yet you get praise and admiration. I just don't understand that. You were a little sloppy in some of the "Awesome" series but because they were so short I guess it was barely noticeable. But you seem to be sloppy "intentionally" for the girlchan series. That I just can't understand.

If I'm gonna watch 10 minutes of animation, cant the animation be good?

I'm obviously gonna get allot of haters now.

[Prostitute Mickey 4]

You know this is somewhat satisfying to watch...

I mean Mickey Mouse is the mascot many would call an "Evil Corporation".

Well...they may be rich and powerful but I don't know if they are considered evil. At least not today. Whores and Garbage mongers maybe...I mean...not allot of great stuff is produced by Disney, and what is considered good seems to be more of a facade. *Although I do like Phineas & Ferb when they first started out but it's starting to die a bit.

Pay no heed to what I said above though, I'm just repeating rumors I heard from other people. I possess no knowledge of how the corporation really is.

But judging by how people have viewed Disney, in comparison...seeing sacrilege on these characters is rather funny. I love how you recapture each characters personality perfectly and twist them in your own way.

Tragedy is funny when it happens to giants.

[Drunk Ass Elf]

HA-drunks are hilarious to watch...

..from the safety of your computer screen XD

I love your hand drawn style. It really adds a nice style to animation.

It almost seems appropiate to try and make a christmas special and incorporate this scene for the development of the character.

Would you make a Christmas special involving the drunk elf? I think if you put some effort, this could be a rather fun thing to watch.

Like how the theme of an elf who feels unappreciated at work, his girlfriend dumped him, etc. And somehow finds the heart-warming christmas spirit?

You know...the same old bullshit but with a drunk elf to liven things up.

[Tootsie Roll Dysfunction]

This is some sick shit! hell'a funny, but too long

There's only so much toilet or physiological humor one can handle at once.

This was just a bit slur of nonsense. If you spaced it apart, even if it was twice as long the timing is key for getting people prepared for the humor.

Ever studied "Red & Stimpy". It is FAMOUS for this type of humor. But it is spaced apart not just to fill a 10 minute gap per episode.

But to prepare the audience for next visual joke. You gotta let your viewer rest up. Then have them laugh again.

That's my suggestion. Other than that the visuals and voice acting was spot on.

Very helpful tip there! I will remember to use that in my next cartoon, which will be a bit less psychopathic. Thanks for that. :)
