TharosTheDragon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wild Fur]

You're right that it doesn't do a lot with the theme, but I don't care. This might be my favorite one, and I hope you go far in the tournament. I usually take away points for having no sound effects, but I'm not going to in this case because I like it so much.

It seems like a lot of entries are just listing facts, which is fine, but I was hoping to see some entries like this one that break that mold. If I was gonna make an entry, it might be based around a TV show called "10 Facts" but you wouldn't actually see all 10 facts in the animation.

HowardWimshurst responds:

yeah totally! people's interpretation of the theme varies massively. Personally I don't think that staying close to the theme matters that much.. I mean.. Why stifle an animator's creativity if they want to go outside the boundaries? I was in-fact surprised that so many people went with the literal approach of listing out facts. At the same time, i'm kind of glad that so many people did because it made submissions like mine and Dylan's and DocYoshimitsu's stand out from the crowd. But yeah, we'll see what the judges have to say and I hope they won't mind haha.

Thanks for the review

[Plungerdog - Episode 4: L]

Not as good as the other episodes, but still good.

I'm a lifeguard. You probably know this, but lifeguards need certification. You can't just sign your friends up to be lifeguards. Although I suppose it's possible that this was some kind of corrupt unofficial pool that was operating illegally.

Jae responds:

Heheh Yeah they're going to be doing lots of things that require certification in later episodes. I'm just gonna ignore it xD Thanks for watching!

[the only fish in the sea]

So is this a Creed cover or one of your originals?

dylan responds:

yes sjr

[Link VS Sonic VS Red]

You know, I've often thought about Zelda vs. Skyrim in terms of how much stuff your character is able to carry. I love seeing drawings that try to depict what that would look like in real life.

Crunchlins responds:

Thank you :) I appreciate the feedback!

[Jewel Man Is Fabulous]

Not bad, though I don't really get some of the jokes, like why the dog isn't supposed to come with him.

I appreciate that your lip syncing fits with the pixels in the sprites. Did you make those mouth-movement sprites or are they available somewhere?

JumpNJetz responds:

Its more of a running joke that I have in my animations at the moment for some reason I cant even explain. All the mouth sprites (so far apart from from the Parrot McGee cartoon, although that still contains plenty of custom sprites) are actually custom made! :D Glad you enjoyed it!

[Zelda- The Weathercock]

Well remember that in the Zelda world they have cuccos, not chickens. So maybe a cock in that world looks different from what we think of as a rooster. Maybe they call a male cucco a cock.

artistunknown responds:

Maybe. I guess we don't ever really see any roosters in the Zelda universe except for on the weathercock's from 2 games, unless I'm forgetting something (which is very likely). Yay for theories! ;3

[Creation]

You made a CG animation for a drawing class?

BitterBrushAnimation responds:

yep XD lol "personalized assignment catering to your major, mine is digital media so i had to make an animation revolving around drawing or line making." he is a pretty cool teacher i have to admit :)

[TD-Til All Are One]

What was that third gender symbol at 2:49?

Raziberry responds:

Saturn. The male and female icons are also the symbols for Mars and Venus.

[Mario Party in a Nutshell]

I think the sheer randomness of it all it the game's way of telling you that it doesn't matter who wins. Just sit down and have fun, dammit! If you tried your best and played well but then the game randomly hands the win over to your little brother at the end, you shouldn't feel bad. You know you played well, and it is just a game after all.

GingerPale responds:

Pretty much xD But for the competitive gamers this can be a frustation point :D haha

[A Modern Marriage]

It would be fun to watch this on fast-forward and muted.

Michael-T-Scott responds:

And add this. It makes everything funnier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcq_xLi2NGo
