Kalaloo-NB's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blackhead]

Nice done animation as always

And yeah for all of you who don't know black people were drawn like this back in the day. They were known as the comic minstrel or blackface. OH GOODNESS HENCE THE NAME OF THIS SUBMISSION @_@. The minstrel was used to always emphasize many known stereotypes of the black race. Y'know eating chicken and loving watermelons. Ha you won't see these kind of cartoons with Bugs Bunny anymore now-a-days.

Bug you did another great job, and I was suprised to find myself not offended.

4/5

^_^

[The Black Bird 7]

Never mess with an A Bu!

Those things surprised me in so many ways!

Ugh I would never want to meet one in a dark alley I'll tell you that.

Keep it up you are doing a great job.

[Santa Shorts: Ep. 01]

I want more Santa Shorts

That was great. The snowman was funny to begin with. It was a snicker here and a giggle there but the alternate ending was the icing on the cake. Always saving the best for last. I love it and am giving a 5/5 plus it's goig to be added into my favorites!

[Chanter Tales 1.2]

That was great!

The animation was so well done! The art was nicely drawn. I liked the river especially the monster/man was standing over. It looked simple and yet more real than any other rivers people have made on flash before. You did and very good job with this and I look forward to see the continuation of the story.

You get a high 5 out of 5

And I did appreciate that there was no "boob" as the last reviewer put it. You wanted the flash to be appropriate for everyone and I respect that ^_^.

Ghosty22 responds:

Thank you... It took me a long time to get that river to look like that too. I originally wanted to make more shots of the river, because I do a lot of walking in the woods, and small streams and creeks are really nice to walk along. I really wanted wilderness and solitude to be a big part of Chanter Tales. There are a couple of other shots where you can just see a small part of the river, but I was agonizing over the look of it, and I could rarely get it to look right, so I didn't show as much as I would've liked.

I think that one of the reasons that a lot of people don't make good-looking rivers is that people have preconceived notions about how rivers look. I think most people think, "It's water, so I'll make it blue..." But in the woods, usually trees are blocking the sky, and the water doesn't reflect the blue, so it appears brown with white highlights... Maybe some other dull transparent colors... Anyway, that's my take on it.

The same sort of thing happens with fire. People hear expressions like "red hot," and the color their fires red. Fire isn't actually red...

[Orlando's Joint #7]

10th reviewer woohoo!

No but seriously, I loved it!

The subtitles were a nice added touch of humor.

Keep up the good work. I await to see the next one!

[Dragons Are SO Halloween]

I loved it

Especially the part with the gun sounds

5/5

[Orlando's Joint #6]

That's quite sad Lanti

You say you're not racist but you sound somewhat like a fearful or reserved bigot. Perhaps you're not, but I'm just saying. True stuff like drugs that's constantly related to the youth in today's society isn't really all that appealing. However, saying something like the african-american cannot have a well played lead role is ridiculous. A good example is the Boondocks- a popular and successful comic series where a majority of the characters are black. Perhaps if much of today's society didn't relate african-americans to some stereotypes in the media some people like you would find us to be more "appealing" and give us more roles in the field of animation, eh?

But now this review is for our flash artist Mr. Anthony:

Although the flash was short it was interesting because of the little cliff-hanger you left us. Why would anyone want to hurt Orlando? And why with a record and who is this D.J pasty? Nice animation, fine sounds, good VA's not as funny but okay.

[Fury - Preview]

You get a 2 for originality

Because of the story, but the style of art and animation was completely DBZ. However, even with the lack of creative style, the flash was good. The animation was well done and I can't blame you for not putting much detail into your characters. I'm guessing you did frame by frame for the movement of your characters.

(People it does suck to draw the same thing over and over again for animation especially when it has so many muscles X_x)

Pretty good. 3/5

AkiraToriyamaJR responds:

Well the story i admit doesnt sound all that good. But at that age my mind was everywhere but where it was suppose to be. I wont lie, i work on and off againg because even though ive been able to put my idea into a better plot, the animation does kill me sometimes. Body wise, i was mixing stick figures with fully drawn characters. In 2003 DBZ and stcik figures where big, so i wanted to combine them both but using an idea of my own. I feel energy beams, flight, power, destruction, arent just from DBZ, but from people who wish they aquire these ablilties. I speak from my head and draw from my both my heart and head combined. I draw on emotion. Depending on my mood, thats how the animation will come. So thanks for enjoying this and with my movie Maximum Chakra 2 coming, hopefully youll see a style im using for this new movie. Animation as well as story wise.

[Sunday Comics & Toons 004]

Nice at first

but it got more boring as I went further down the list.

*shrugs* sorry

perhaps if some of you worked on your material-animating, humor and/or timing-you'd get higher scores.

Nice idea though.

RSQViper responds:

It continues to improve each week. There are a lot of new animators in this and they especially are improving.

It can certainly get better and will.

[Primal War 09]

Reason why I found that a little bit funny

I have a friend named Cha'Tara

Cha'Tara, Chatari?! OMG coincidence!!! 0_0

No but really it's good story. I love this series nd hope to see the next episode. I don't think you need to actually add human language to your existing characters like some other reviewers think. It defeats the purpose of their beastiality in my opinion. Perhaps you should experiment some before submitting your next flash of the series. However, when you're doing the animal sounds for you characters could you do a few more sounds then the exact same grunt?

Other than that it's great

5/5

Chatari nooooooooooooo!!!!
