[RobotsAG Episode 4]

Awesome! woo!

This could very well be the best episode yet, it had everything youd want in a Robots AG episode, well any comedy series for that matter. Well im really becoming a fan of this series, i just didnt enjoy the pilot/1st episode. Well heres my review.

The graphics were great and they always have been in this series. The drawings are great, i really like how you make them look cartoony, in a way.... The backrounds are not detailed, but i like them anyways, they set the comedic mood that is essential to each episode. The animation could use some fine tuning but good in general. The style of this series is awesome for a few reasons, the most obvious one being your sense of humour. But the overall style is also helped by your colourful animating style which i have really grown to love. The sound was awesome too, i really like all the sound effects, they all seem to be used effectively. The voices are superb and they are still a big reason why i enjoy this series.
The humour was as said said "great".

Overall, this was another very well done RobotsAG episode, i cant wait until the 5th, pleasee keep them coming strong! 4/5

[Strategy Guide Ep. 4]

An easy 9/10.

I knew right away what i was going to give this movie, i saw the first image and i was like 9 out loud. Well i watched the rest too and i still think the same way. This was a great movie, it had pretty much everything youd want in a comedy flash, and some extra things as well.

The graphics were excellent, for a few reasons too! The drawings were great, i loved the character design. The colours were good too, you made everything look realistic aslong as it is supposed to look real. The animation, simply great. But i loved the different styles you had in this, regular animation, and sprites. It was a really cool mix in my opinion. The stlye was great, firstly because of the two different animating styles, but not only because of that. The idea is clever, and the title is funny too, because they go swo far off topic, in a good way though. Perhaps the randomness was a little to excessive on occasion, but i liked the humour in general. The sound was great too, it wasnt quite fantastic but i enjoyed it anyways. I really liked the voice acting! The humour well, a 9 explains that for itself.

Overall this was a great movie, and perhaps this is the best episode yet, Keep em coming strong! 4/5

[hitchHiker: part One]

Too good!

This is just one of the reasons you are in my top 5 favourite authors. I dont know how you can be so consistant with your movies. It seems you make sure everyone will like it, even if there isnt humour or violence, and in my opinion that is an incredibly hard thing to do. I mean look, you have 4/5 of your submissions to NG in the top 50, and another one that has the high score of 4.05 when i just checked.

Your graphics are absolutely incredible, even with this which is now over a year old, the graphics are incredible, you could submit it today and most people would give graphics a really high score. Your drawings are nearly flawless, and your settting us perfect, you really did give the feeling he was all alone. The colours are fantastic, you used them to show darkness, daytime, and sunsets perfectly. The animation is nothing short of amazing either. This is still good enough for you to eb considered one of the best animators on newgrounds. The style is also pretty damn perfect. I mean your animating style is brilliant, but not only that. I think youre the only animator i meant who uses true stories(or make your own, like the Bitey Cartoons). It is always awesome to hear about a true story, because than you can visualize exactly how it happened, and they often get you to think. The story isnt a boring one either. The sound is awesome, but the one bad thing here is the music wasnt quite loud enough sometimes. But other than that the sound was perfect. The music was great, especially for this flash. It helped set the mood and created its own, the mood being lonely/all alone traveling. The sound effects were awesome too,from the tweeting of the birds to the screeching of the car hitting the gas and zooming away.

Overall this is a wonderful movie, and even now deserving of its high score and top 50 spot. Im still waiting for your next Bitey cartoon! I need to see it!! 5/5

[Zebudan Clockrage]

Wait...a member of the clock crew made this?

That is very difficult to believe. This was too different from any of the clock movies i have seen, way way too different. But i guess its for the best in this case. This was too cool to be a clock movie, usually clocks are funny, but this ...this was cool! This is definitely on of my favourite clock movies so far.

The graphics were great, especially for a clock movie. The drawings were excellent because of their detail and the seemingly large amount of effort. The backrounds were often quite good, and the character design, even if it is based on warcraft or something ,was very cool. The animation didnt dissapoint. The style was great and really original for clocks. It was almost like you didnt use clocks at all. The story seems well thought through, and the progression appeared to be great here. The sound was great, but i think the audio quality could have been better. The voice acting was very nice, and same with the music and the sound effects.

Overall a wonderful clock movie, i really liked it and this goes up with my favourite clock movies. Sorry for saying clock movie so much in my review...keep it up! 4/5

[Donkey Kong Country 1½]

Great parody!

Nice job man. This is the first great donkey kong parody i have seen. I have seen only a few others, but none of them compare to this one. Well nothing in this stood out as being bad or anything, i do have a few things negative to say though, dont shoot me, i have nothing too bad to say at all.

The graphics were only good i think, nothing more. The drawings were pretty good despite not being very detailed. They had enough detail to make them just good. The backrounds were a little too simple i think. More often than not, they consisted of just a plain blue sky with a few white clouds. Try to give them some detail in the future. The animation was very good at times, but i noticed especially during the Dance Dance Revolution scene that it could be clearer as to what exactly they were doing. The style was great in this, firstly for making a GOOD donkey kong parody, but also because you made your own story continued from the ending of the real game. The sound was great, nice sound effects but most of all superb voice acting.

Overall this was a great parody, and i actually had quite a bit of fun watching this. Congrats Alexlabbe, i cant wait to see more! 4/5

[The Little Girl]

Wow. Awesome. Beautiful.

This was some incredible work man. I can see you put effort into everything in this, from the graphics, to the story, to the sound and obviously touch ups to make the final product great. I will say this right away this is going into my favourites, at least it will for a little while. Well i cant complain about anything in this, it was all done too well.

The graphics were awesome, you said they werent that good in your comments. I could not disagree with you more. I mean of course i have seen better, but these were nothing short of stunning. The black and white colouring was absolutely perfect for this movie. It created the mood and feel i think you were searching for. Your art style really helped out the mood aswell. I mean the shadow effects thats you used were wonderful and simple your drawings stlye as well. The backrounds were refined yet detailed(sorry i cant explain it any better than that. This is my favoruite type of backround animation. The style in this movie was perfect for a couple reasons. The animating style first of all gave an eerie mood sometimes, and it added quite a bit to the final product. The idea was awesome too, an animated story book you said, well even if it wasnt one, it really seemed like it. The dialogue for the narration was perfect, its was just like a story book for children. The presentation of your idea was fantastic too, you tried hard on everything, so naturally the presentation will be good. Lastly for style, this was extremely well written in terms of storybook style. The sound was awesome too, i agree with other people who say there isnt too much to it. But what you had was awesome. The narration/voice acting could not have been better for this sort of role. And the music was the final thing that set the mood and feeling. I loved each piece of music , and i loved them even more because of how you used each one.

Overall this is good enough in my opinion to be considered a masterpiece, this is the best movie i have seen for a while, perhaps since the last Xombie Chapter. Anyways i must see more from you soon! 5/5
