[Dreamy Collide (Oneshot) Movie]

Nice animation with good movement. I like it when you can see LY visibly get angry if you take too long answer. However, I feel confused by what is going on. The fluidity of your animation is good, with nice tweening. I feel it ended quite fast without a proper conclusion, but it gives a good picture of what your web series is about, although I am genuinely confused about what is happening. I find the character designs difficult to read. It starts out very fast, and I wish there was some quick explanation of what world they are in, as I feel that the narrative of the story is not properly explained to the viewer.

HantomPro responds:

thank you ^^ , and nice point, i hope can explain more in episode 2, but in short, LY the queen of Dreamy's , wants to protect the dreamy world, with wrong attitudes ,killing the two brothers , The dreamy's universe is vast, I have a list of 152 creatures to put in the series

[[FLASH] Steamboat Willie]

Nice! The scene's detail with the foot tapping is well executed. The subtle bouncing head and blinking are all good. The music sets the atmosphere, and the movement of the background gives the sense that he is traveling in a boat, which is done well. The music is representative of the time and has a good charm to it.

Thanks for your appreciation

[[FLASH] Paffendorf.swf]

I think your Flash serves as a place for the viewer to click on various links linking to your social media. Your interactive flash functions and it serves the intended purpose. Additionally, there is a character dancing in a strange fashion that I cannot describe, and the Koala girl looks disappointed at the character.

MebroukTheCat responds:

Well, Let me tell ya'
The blue Kittyfox is called Luna Sapphire, whereas the Koala girl is called Gigi Templeton.
This Flash is a remake of LunaKittyfox's old animation that I found on her old Instagram account long ago:

Also, The creator of this animation is the owner of these characters.
Don't mind about it, here's her current account that She created like 7 years ago:

[NG Winter Fest Opening Animation | 2022]

Absolutely excellent, with the lively opening exhibiting amazing energy. It's very positive overall. All of the animation is extremely unique and full of personality, with bright colors! All of the scenes contribute to the narrative; it's very awesome to see a great coordination effort to get all of the scenes to transition from each other so expertly. It must have been difficult.

Absolutely amazing! Additionally, the music is also very nice, a great choice. I am very thankful that the music from the audio portal can be used for terrific animations because it shows solidarity between all of the portals and respect for our community in creating amazing projects!

YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!

Stanpai responds:

Thank you for the shining review. I try to utilize the Audio portal whenever possible, but it was 100% necessary for this video to serve its purpose. I'm glad you liked it!

[O' that Stingy Dragon]

Super nice style, very distinct, with great narration supported by musical instrumentation.

@ZaazNG's excellent music is always amazing to here. His great ability to express and communicate emotion through his songs is admirable. I greatly admire his work and deeply appreciate his passion for the arts. He is multi-skilled in his abilities and always amazing. I don't know why I'm referring to you in the third person. I don't know if you'll read this, and I'm not even sure if it's a good idea to write reviews. I would just like to interact with the community, and I think you deserve recognition and appreciation because you are amazing. Your love and passion for art are greatly respected, and I wish I could be more like you. Thank you.

ZaazNG responds:

I love you :)
Review legit made me grin widely, thank you so much for your kind words buddy <3

[Flipping channels]

The puppets are really nice, and all of the scenes are great. They show lots of attitude, with people contributing their own unique spins on Newgrounds, which is really awesome. The puppets are really funny and cute, with excellent voice acting, and the art is so nice and charming, featuring great personality. Overall, it's very fun and well thought out.

Picochu responds:

Oh goodness, it's been a minute since I got an interview on this old thing! This was honestly such a nice thing to wake up to! Warms my heart to still see folks enjoying this video of mine!

[Newgrounds Summer Fest 2021 Opening Animation]

Using the text in many different styles to communicate "Everything, By Everyone" is very creative. Typography is a great tool for communicating ideas, and that is creative.

The animations are impressive! Full of life and personality—very inspirational. Personally, I wish there was information in the comments detailing who made each section.

Stanpai responds:

Thanks for the thoughtful review! It's actually a bit challenging to answer who did what as many of the scenes in this and the other OP animation are actually mixed compositions from various artists and animators. There are a few notable exceptions where only one person did both the background and all the characters on screen, but the majority of the scenes in this cartoon are all featuring multiple artists at once. I suppose it's a lot like with a theatrical release!

[Senpai SimDate - Ending A]

The movie already starts with a very creative logo, which I find to be excellent. The framing of it being a dating simulator is interesting, and the way that things are communicated shows that a lot of thought has gone into how it should be established. Having this stated as being recognized as a piece of Lost Media is interesting, as well as calling it Ending A, which is a good reference to dating simulators, showing a clear understanding of the genre.

The almost uncanny pseudo-emotional anime voice acting that is present is well-parodied, and it exhibits all of the characteristics. I would say that proves that reference material was listened to and practiced on to get down the vocalization and styling.

Cherry blossom tree XD and the music supports the voice acting and the visuals are good combinations for supporting the narrative. There is almost a drastic change when the Senpai gets a close-up. I know this isn't a problem for me, but going from being a parody of anime style to a Western-looking comic character is something I noticed. Yes, I enjoyed the movie. It's cool, great teamwork.

Anislug responds:

I cant draw anime type stuff for my life LMAO happy you enjoyed

[Merry Christmas Mr. Strife]

Yoshi looks so scuffed; I thought that was very funny. The characters are stylized in a comedic way, and it's interesting how that makes them funny. It's great that this is capturing the spirit that lies in the golden era of the 2000s. The way you do the lips, reminds me of Tamers12345, along with especially with the homoerotic themes that are present in your movie.

Stanpai responds:

I am really amused that I made this video before becoming a big Tamer12345 fan. You are so right about the similarity.
The goal was to make that 2000s style game parody and you definitely understood the intention.
