Shock-Dingo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Take a Key for Coming In]

The world needs more Ghosts N Goblins animation. What can I really say? Beautiful animation and presentation; I loved the title cards, the stylish fade to black for the gorey bits, the usage of Demon's Crest Music, and the way things would go from a sketchy outline, to a fully realized piece.

I love your funny stuff, but I'd be all for more tribute vids in this style.

Keep up the excellent work! :)

[Swords of Beef - Teaser]

Oh dear God, please don't tell me that this project is going to be a oneshot. So hoping for a sizable series.

Wow, where to begin on this? This featured a lovely blend of talent; the main lively animation, the beautifully painted backgrounds, great sound quality. I'm loving it. The over the top visuals, and all the tiny, extra movements you put in Mr. Beef really made this pop along with the sounds and sight gags.

Looking forward to the real thing dudes, keep up the good work everyone!

[Donut Quest]

Seriously dude, this is one of your finest animations. There's just so much going on in the background and with the main characters. You really put in a bunch of detail and it paid off. Catchy tune too.

Keep up the good work man. :)

[ONEY2012]

Hilariously brilliant send up of an uh...interesting situation (wont get into all that here hah)

Dude, where do I even begin? Awesome voice work; it had that subdued urgent tone that these ads usually have. I loved the subtle changes you had when the true purpose was revealed and the narrator began to waver. Also, the whispering...creepy (creepy...)

The visual presentation was awesome; I see your typography skills from Dot Dot Dot are still being used to great effect.

The humour was well executed and didn't explode on out too quickly. Props for pacing.

Keep up the good work man!

the reviews for this are waaay too nice, this one was really the kicker. thanks though ... you are lovely, DINGO.

[Goldeen Loves Guitar]

Hilarious and well executed dude!

This was a simple and original idea for a pokemon spoof, so I think that really helped with enjoyment of this. As always, you provided crisp, super smooth animation and fitting voices; I liked the relaxed banter Ash and Brock had. The over dramatic reaction shots were probably my favorite part of this, I don't know, I'm just a sucker for sight gags like that.

Keep up the good work you two, I eagerly wait the next thing released.

[50MG]

This was a lot of fun; it was a simple, but effective theme and it eas executed well. I gotta say, I'm a sucker for fluid animation; the spastic movements after the drugs kicked in and then the intense and super detailed close ups were a joy to watch. I thought this was a solid effort and I was totally entertained. I just thought a little bit more could be added in zaniness before the end cutoff, maybe some distorted increasingly crazy imagery? (it felt a bit abrupt, but that's just me).

Awesome job! I'll be checking out more of your stuff now. :)

Keep up the good stuff!

Thanks, dude! :D

[Elder Scrolls Adventures]

Shockingly accurate

Dude, I've long admired the stellar quality you've put into your work, and this is another fine piece. It's actually kinda of scary how well you can replicate the art style, tone, and pacing of those kids shows from yesteryear. Whenever I see your art it makes me wish the majority of televised toons today shared your fluid- high quality style.

What else can I say? The art was great, the voices were quality and the whole thing was hilarious. Keep up the good stuff man!

[Nyan Caxx]

Foley Huck! That was unexpected and awesome!

Glad to see another piece from the both of you! I found this a rather refreshing change of pace in comparison to all the Nyan Cat stuff out there. (Holy crap, it's everywhere these days....rainbows...t..toast..)

The art as usual was amazing. It just has this fresh and energetic style to it; the colour and shading styles really made everything (especially the grim scenes) pop. I really like all the subtle movements you put in your characters, it adds personality and a bit of a real human touch.

Sound quality was top notch; both of your voices were clear and the personalities came through distinctly. The usage of sfx and music also were greatly utilized.

The whole thing was funny and enjoyable, but the crazy twist near the end was a great (and fantastically disturbing) touch.

Your animations always have great pacing dude. Keep up the good work! I hope to see more from the both of you soon.

All the best to you!

[Hammer & Fail 2]

Enjoyable follow up!

Dude, nice job with this one!

I've been a fan of this series for a while and I rather enjoyed this one more than the others.

All the voices were top notch; everyone hit their vocal and comedic ques perfectly. The deliveries made the jokes hilariously effective, like the manager's line about the weirdness of the factory and its location.

The animation was fluid and had a lot of personality. The sight gags were really well executed such as at the start with the possession and when they were prepping themselves to go inside the house.

I can't really think of much more to say, but I had a blast watching this. Keep up the good work man. I can't wait till the next one.

All the best to you.

[Falcon Date!]

Hilarious and to the point HYES!

I rather enjoyed this. This was a short and simple flash and it worked greatly. The art was well done and the voices were clear, audible and had personality. We all knew the end would bring about disaster, but I'm glad you went for something different than that obvious Falcon Punch. The end screen was also a nice touch.

Great job! :)
