thehambonetoons's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thief: Rent's Due]

That's my thoughts exactly...

I don't get why if you gave the stick figures facial expressions, voices, beards, personalities, etc...and put so much effort into this flash (and yes i do recognize that), why didn't you just go the little bit extra and make them "fullbody" as you put it. Okay, it's a style thing? I can roll with that too, but I say then that the style doesn't fit the whole. Your backgrounds and even props in this animation are not keeping with the style of the stick figures. I agree with the guy below me that it makes the whole thing look "wrong." I'm not altogether against stick figures...just think that a style should be kept throughout the entire film.

Animation-wise, good job. It was slow and realistic. You have potential to make something great with your attention to detail (aside from the obvious sticks). Sound and music were all good choices.

I'd just like to see something you do to give more merit is all. Had you fleshed out the characters, this would have been awesome and, more importantly, made it your own. Instead of just taking a different spin on rehashed style. I suggest creating your own style. Thanks for submitting.

Manfreak responds:

Hmmm.... That little bit extra you're talking about is beyond my abilities atm. I have never animated fullbody and can barely draw a person as it is so this is my limit in terms of character design for now. The response from this has opted me to start with fullbody tests but it will be a while before I can make anything decent. I reckon people are thinking less of me because I acted lazy and used stick figures but really, that is all I can do :( ..... for now.

[LARRY episode 1.5]

Hey, it's not me again...

Long time viewer...first time---screw it. I like yer style man. Not sure who the last guy Nick thinks he is but he should just watch and enjoy. Dude, don't overanaylze everything in your life! This isn't anime. Anyhow, great job and love the effort you put into the details of the work. Thanks.

Jazza responds:

thats my strategy = don't think it through! otherwise i definitely wouldnt have animated a pedophile or necrophiliac scene in this series... ew...

[life (hebil)]

yeah

I would say the timing and the sound is the only issue you got. Will we be seeing an updated version in the future?

Hebil responds:

I don't think so, i don't like the idea of constantly remaking the same thing over and over again, things are only new the first time around.

[The Mac & Cheze Show]

you get a 1

but no stars. Where's the animation? anyone can post a video...but you probably should have just put this on youtube instead. the 1 was for your "title screen" because you at least did that.

DaveCoulierClock responds:

Hambone Hambone pat him on the shoulder
If you get a pretty girl, I'll show you how to hold her.

[Orange Adventure Xmas]

i don't know...

Your animation was well thought out but not executed as well as it could have been. The pace was lacking and the ending seriously put me off. Leave the santa and jesus out of it and make something that fits the rest of the film. Being a christmas submission, this needs to tie into that more. Overall...decent.

Hulalaoo responds:

Sure, i wanna one, 6, 99 $

[Bellum Letale]

...

pretty sharp man...I really hope this is a teaser! Can't wait for the rest

alkr00 responds:

maybe when i get the time and program at home, i will make it to an actual series. thanks dude

[Short-Icecream]

i loved it...

great stuff. animation was lacking but the comedic timing was perfect!

Amplified31 responds:

Thanks man.

[Newgrounds Vs. Youtube]

baby jesus is dead?! NOOOOOOOOO...

I gave you nothing. A loop? The description even said 25 minutes! I let the damn thing play and walked away from my computer and came back almost 45 min later and the damn thing was still going! How'd the hell did this pass judgement? I had to mute the thing too...that music and annoying fight sfx was crap. I second the notion...how did 5 people work on this!? Thanks for killing jesus before he was born.

PaperBat responds:

No Problem

[Rob's New Phone]

nice stuff

i'm one of those firm believers that newgrounds should be a place for animations...video skits belong on youtube. But i did enjoy the sketch....funny stuff.
