Phronemophobia's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Recipe for Bad Dreams]

Wow! So, from out of nowhere, Duongster and his big-headed dog return in hopes of dominating the animation jams again with a brand new, high-quality submission.

You always do an amazing job in such a short amount of time, and the music was just as impressive.

antdung responds:

Big Head Dog can't catch a break huh

I appreciate your kind words, man. I always have a lot of free time when these jams are going on, so I pour everything I got into them. It's the only way I can get myself to animate X_X

[Ducky!]

I now anticipate the Patron credits as much as the actual animations.
As always, your cartoons are fun, charming, and beautiful.

Stay sexy, Chut.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Ill try but food is just SOOOO delicious! Thanks again dude!

[Trees]

I love the vibrant palette of colors you use for all of your animations, the effort you put into bringing this amazing, original world of yours to life with each and every new cartoon, and even that charming Top 10 incentive you've started adding. Please, don't ever resort to parodies.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Thanks that's really kind of you to say! I promise to never parody anything ever for as long as I remember what I said!

[Phone Wreckers]

I love it. It's so blatantly absurd with its approach against phone addiction that only child-minded viewers would be offended by it. How could anyone take this seriously? There's magic and gunfire happening in the streets over the mere existence of smartphones, and people are trying to label this as propaganda? Yeesh.

Your style, as always, is distinct and colorful, AntS. There's an impressive amount of action, as well. I'm certain it took a good, long while to produce, but your cartoons are always worth the wait.

I enjoyed the voice acting, especially because it sounded so hammy at times. Coupling that with a sub-par script (I don't know whether or not that was intentional) gives the whole thing a charming B-movie feel.

Not that I didn't chuckle at the sight of Lance getting beaten up by emojis, but Maple alone is reason enough for me to give this video five stars. She's a cute, nimble chubster with the most adorable voice, and, to top it off, you had her spanked... just because. <3

Thank you all for your hard work on this.

Ant0on responds:

Haha thanks lol I wanted the main girl to be a bit more unique, as Im sick of all the generic/boring fashion model body types with the same anime-wannabe face that is prevalent in most animation today.

About the propaganda, lol, I alsmot spilled my drink when I read that comment. Kinda cringy to say something like that, but hey, I expected triggers :) .

I was inspired by some anime passion when doing the script, which kinda grew with the animation. 2 dangerous rebels against the masses/hive-mind is pretty cliche, but Im ok with that as long as theres room for lots of action/humour.

Glad you enjoyed it!! Stay tuned for more toons!

[Skitzo Vs Cuphead]

Skitzo's certainly an entertaining boss fight and a great sport about losing.
It's not often we get to see a survivor at the end of one of these animations.

Comick responds:

Yeah lol, there have been a few survivors in his toons *the main rule is never let Skitzo get you and run away quickly before its too late!* which is basically what Cuphead did haha. Glad you thought the battle was cool too :)

[Bobo The Purple Cat]

There were some truly awful jokes in this, but I like Bobo and Venus, and I hope this becomes a series.

bobothepurplecat responds:

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was the cool whip joke, wasn't it...

[Super Mega Animated - Splatoon Kids]

Did you know Pearl, the infant-looking one, is said to be 21 years old? I looked that up after watching this. That means, by Japan's traditional standards, I think she is the only confirmed inkling to not be a "kid" anymore. Her partner is 18, and those other two from the previous game are now 19. It was weird enough to learn that Mario was only about 24 or 25 years old. When it comes to Nintendo characters, there's apparently no point in assuming age. If it's not stated directly, I guess Matt doesn't have to feel bad. He still totally should though.

Thanks for encouraging me to learn something today, even if it was just meaningless trivia.

[All On Black - Depressing Maths 3]

Since you keep posting all this good shit, I feel like I have no choice but to follow and subscribe to you all.

Thank you and keep being sexy.

LOTAC responds:

No, thank YOU and YOU keep being sexy! But seriously thanks :) We'll try and keep posting some good shit for ya

[My Worst Christmas Gift]

My mom has one, but, then, I think she has some kind of pricey brush... like a, uh, rechargeable one with a stand next to it that holds different heads, similar to what comes with a vacuum cleaner. I think it was close to or more than $100, so I can't blame her for wanting to have it properly sanitized. I'm like you. I just buy some brushes, replace them monthly, and save one in case I need to scrub small areas around the house that are hard to reach otherwise.

I'm not a big fan of animated story tellers on Youtube, but that's primarily because many represent themselves with stick figures or featureless humanoid blobs to minimize the work involved to infrequently animate them for each video. Yours has a little more to look at, so thank you for putting in that added bit of effort.

AnimatedStruggle responds:

Thank You! Yeah I understand what you mean. I'm continuing to push my art work in adobe animate. My next video WILL have greater quality animation. Thanks again for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

[Of Mice and Marmalade]

I'm bad with names... and remembering things, so I apologize for not knowing Lance Avery or the circumstances pertaining to the memorial. As for the animation itself, the strengths and weaknesses remain from previous episodes. Cute, charming, strong VAs, and great music (because Bertn is sexy like that!), but your scripts are always hit or miss, particularly with the humour (humor, too). I can't merely watch this quietly. I'm either impressed with how well much of the dialogue continues to emphasize the uniqueness of your characters, or I'm visibly wincing whenever a bad joke is made.

Here's three and a half along with another half, because Admiral Cheeseburger also appreciates pogs.

Bertn1991 responds:

Zip zip zippity. Thank you for watching, even through the wince-inducingly bad jokes. I hope you don't have crow's feet after viewing. I do apologize if it wasn't quite what you wanted, but thanks for giving your thoughts.
