Plette's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Power Rangers! Pink]

Dude, where's the theme song?

That is ALL this thing is missing. Heck, any of the old fight tracks would be awesome here. See about including it in the next one, k?

[Turing Test]

Very cool

It kinda floors me that you're the mind behind one of the lightest cartoons on newgrounds, and then you come up with something like this. Great choice in music; that really pushed the movie to the next level. I do agree with the one guy, watching a chat log generally isn't the most entertaining thing in the world, but I think you made it work. Really well, at that.

The only thing I'd recommend would be to make the kid's glasses a different color; they're kinda hard to see. Maybe up the contrast in the kid's room, too. Beyond that though, everything looks great. The chat log was well designed, loved the kid's expressions, and the timing with that final line was spot-on. Looking forward to more like this!

Jimtopia responds:

My brother had the same idea with his glasses color, and I will admit, it is hard to tell that they're there, but when I was designing the character, I was trying to put a lot of emphasis on the eyes, and I thought making the glasses a lighter color would be the right way to go, but in retrospect, it was probably not the best idea. Ah well, hindsight's 20/20 I suppose.

I'm glad you mentioned the final line, because that went through a lot of workshopping before I finally got it just right, and I'm happy that you mentioned it. Thanks for the review man. Now GET ON SKYPE. BLARGH.

[Zelda - Target]

Why did you kill Cojiro?

He was, like, my favorite character!

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep2]

It's not OoT, but who cares?! I LIKED MM!!

I dunno if that's clear or not... Like, I really loved Girlchan ep.1 because it was completely unexpected; my mouth was hanging open the entire time because it was just ridiculous...RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME! So when you have a fantastic original and you make a fantastic sequel, there's gonna be just that smidgen of...i dunno, some kinda minor negative emotion (doubt or disappointment or confusion or something like that), over the fact that it's not the original.

Thankfully, like Majora's Mask was to Ocarina of Time, Girlchan ep.2 was an improvement over ep.1 in every way ^_^. The artwork especially was just gorgeous; Girlcha at it's peak. I had high expectations for ep.2 coming from the epic win that was ep.1, and you guys delivered. Can't wait for episode 3!!

[VG Exiles - Episode 2]

Weak sauce in the second half.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half. Gripping and engaging. Fantastic animation, sprites or no. The second half, however, dragged, and the use of stills as opposed to actually animating the scenes made me think that the animator just got tired after all the work he put into the fight scene (which was awesome, btw).

[School 13 - Street Magic]

I LOVE IT!

This is one of the funnies flashes I've seen in a while. I love your style, the jittery camera makes it feel much more real, even when the characters aren't moving. But what one my heart was the writing...granted, I'm already a fan of David Blaine parodies, but this one takes the cake ^_^ kudos.
