Coolio-Niato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Orange Rhymes]

Genius.

Shows that all a cartoon really needs is a good idea and some beautiful animation =D

Great job,
-Coolio

AlmightyHans responds:

you hit the nail on the head.

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 5]

Giving it a 7 only cuz...

A) There were only 5 small skits
B) You were more or less just following a fad, making this not very original
C) Only 2 of the skits have I not seen before in another Portal parody.

You were a little too late with your portal goodness (just by about 2 months). If you wanna get in on a fad, try to do it too late, or else it feels strange or unoriginal.

Anyway, to the positives though, nice animation, smooth, and well thought out. Only real problem here is that the character you always use was...well...used again?

Anyway good luck in ur future endeavors. (lol pun on "future")
-Coolio

Jimtopia responds:

Okay, in response to "A," yes, there were only 5 small skits, but like I wrote, this is a short, it's not meant to be long, I understand your view, but Jim and Pals Shorts are never meant to be long.

In response to "B," I understand this is not very original, and most of my cartoons ARE original, you must understand; for this one, I just needed something funny to work with, so I thought out some skits involving one of my favorite games, and this is what came of it.

In response to "C," yeah, well I didn't look through all the portal parodies, so I figured a few of these jokes would have been done before.

Okay, so to the rest of your review, I know I was late, but I hoped people would overlook that; I mean, it's not like I've been working on this for 2 months or anything, I just decided to do this now instead of 2 months ago is all.

I'm glad you thought the animation was smooth, I take a fair amount of time making sure it looks smooth, and about the character, that's my character, that's Jim; I'm Jimtopia. :)

[Soma Holiday]

Rather enjoyed it.

Sucks about the rating though...must be cuz it isn't a "funny" video =(

NGers have such varied tastes, what can you expect.

Keep on trucking.

Snubby responds:

yup, thanks.

[Magician]

Great fun =)

Awesome stuff man, really fun to watch =)

Jaded989 responds:

:) happy you enjoyed it.

[New Years Submission]

Im glad others enjoy musical fireworks too =)

It was a bit off sync tho, the sounds were early or the animation was late, offput the song about 10 frames forward and it'll be perfect.

DrSalvadork responds:

Wow a review by Coolio-Niato. I've enjoyed many of your games. I did place every beat in place separately though, so I guess I have crappy reflexes because to me at least most of it is in sync.
Thanx for reviewing!

grabbelfant responds:

thanks thanks thanks! I hope it isn't still going on and on, becaus that wouldn't be good for your health and stuff. :P

[The Air We Breathe]

Left me speechless.

++++
Great style, good animation, important issue, well presented.

No real negatives to this besides that some scenes were repeated over and over.

I loved the last scene where everything was drowning in the pollution of the tap no one would turn off in the factories. It was great.

10/10, 5/5

Foxcato responds:
