KartuneHustla's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

Love the backgrounds

I really love this series. It's definitely a change of pace from the regular ones. In order to understand these cartoons, you need to watch the previous ones or you will definitely be lost. Corey is funny as always. This wasn't short, but for some reason it felt shorter than the other ones. Not that that's a bad thing or anything. I just wish it was longer I guess. I don't know :D. Anyways, I love how you use real backgrounds and the animation is as good as the previous episodes. Keep up the good work man.

[The W Force - Episode 1]

hahah No face Jim!

Man, I love your style Mike. Your fist episode of the series was pretty funny. My favorite part was the wikipedia scene. Anyways, the animations was on par with your usual stuff. Nothing big really changed in style or anything, which is good. Sometimes I had a problem with how the hands looked whenever they were talking. Sometimes they move well and other times they look weird and out of place. As always, Josh does an amazing job with the voice acting and the script was well written. Can't wait for the next episode man

ImpendingRiot responds:

Yeah, I'll focus more on the movement next time, lip syncing is just teeedious. Anyways, coming from an artist I admire as much as yourself, this really means a lot man, thanks.

[***The Pixelmas Shorts***]

Some really good parts

I thought the best one out of all of them was Edpr's part. Really felt retro and made good use of the pixel tool. I felt like I was playing and old school game or something. Anyways, I thought there were some bad parts and some good parts, just like any collab, but most of the time it had its good parts (nathaniel's, born to byte, etc). Overall, it was a nice collection of shorts. Also, I had alot of fun painting a sprite while I was waiting for it to load. Good work everybody!

[RUPHOLD]

Wow, that was beautiful

I don't understand why the score was so low. Well, I guess if it isn't funny then it doesn't get the high scores like other animations out there. As you can see, most of the top animations are all comedies and I can think of atleast 5 other animations that are way better than the ones up there. But I shouldn't complain. I think this deserves an award of some sort. The animation was really well done. The slow motion parts were especially the most impressive. I have to commend you on the effort you put on this. Hopefully you'll get your day when you kick ass score wise and get the popularity you deserve. For this, I think you just choose the wrong day. Never submit on the day you know there is gonna be a huge group of Christmas flashes. Today would have been a good day to submit. Or even yesterday. Anyways, good luck on your future efforts. Favorited

Zwickel responds:

Thanks a lot man! Your animation was great too, I can really see the effort you put into it. Well, guess maybe one of these days people will like my flashes as I'd like to. Happy Holdays. :)

This is very relaxing

I like this animation. It's very mellow and chill. I can see the beginning part as a screensave or something. Good work man!.

[Rat Episode 2]

Brilliant... just brilliant

I thought the artwork was gorgeous man. The opening sequence was the best part of the cartoon. It definitely introduced you to the atmosphere of the world. The entire episode had my eyes glued to the screen. The only problem I had with this was the audio. It was very low and scratchy and I could barely hear the voices. I tried to read the subtitles, but the font was just unreadable. You should have just used like a regular font like arial or times new roman. Anyways, the artwork and animation was awesome. I love the way the rat (I guess that's what you would call them) runs. But, it wish the audio was done better. Overall, it was a great effort. I don't think I got everything out of the story like I should have and that just may be my fault, but the artwork was pro. Favorited and Good luck on your future efforts man. Love your work

[Wish Liszt]

Loved the Dolls

The animation was really good man, especially since you only did it in like 3 weeks. I'm glad you mustered up enough energy to get this out. My favorite part of the animation is where the dolls are braiding her hair together. I also like where the bear jumps into the girl's hands. Everything moved smoothly. The only part that probably needed work was just the pirate part. There was a particular shot where it kind of flashed and looked like the ship was already close to the screen, then it goes back to tweening from the back to the front. I don't know, there was just a problem with that shot right when it cuts to the pirate part. Other than that I thought everything else was great. Love the story and how you made the toys come to life. Good Job and Good Luck

Toonimated responds:

yea, i have no clue why that happens, it is a bug xD. some weird flash cs4 bug for using the 3D function

[OH, Here it Goes...]

Oh My.....

Everything went really well with the music. The animation was very smooth, especially in the middle of the animation. There were some sketchy parts, but its pretty amazing how you guys finished this in only a week or so. Anyways, I loved the music in this. Also, the story was really funny. There were alot of quick moments where I laughed where either the main character knocked people down or just the expressions. If I had to pick a part, I would have to say my favorite was the scene where he gave his friend his wallet.
All in all, it was a great Christmas submission. Good luck on future projects!

[Merry Ricksmas 2]

The Rockin' Elf

Despite the low quality sound, I really enjoyed this flash. the frame by frame animation was incredibly well done, especially the part where Santa and the elf shake hands. I generally like cartoons with the bad guy trying to foil someones plans and ends up getting hurt in the process. Reminds me of the day when I used to watch Tom and Jerry or Roadrunner. Anyways, the story ended like I thought it would because I was waiting for the band to show up :). I have to take some points off for the sound fx and there were a few gripes I had with some of the lines because I couldn't really hear everything. However, this is definitely worth checking out and good luck with the contest

smirkstudios responds:

thanks brother :D i didnt win anything, but i can always submit another :P you are a good asset to me as a friend, and have been there to answer my flash questions, so thank you, and you will be proud of your teachings soon :D thanks again :P (i would have reviewd this at a 7 or 8 as well, thanks!!!)

[Office Spider: Episode 6]

That crazy Spider!

That was hilarious man. The ending with the intern made me laugh. If I had to predict the next episode it would probably be office spider being arrested for murder, but he usually gets away with that stuff so he's pretty much like O.J Simpson, except there are no bloody gloves. Good choice using the music from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It went well with what was going on. Its hard to write this review and not spoil anything for anyone who hasn't watched it yet. I'll just say I enjoyed it alot and can't wait for another episode. Peace
