RGPAnims's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hawk Moth's Spare Time: Miraculous Ladybug Parody]

I didn't really enjoy this cartoon. First off, the story. The whole "oh boy, the villian is a pervert" joke was not funny in the slightest and wasn't even unique to the source material. The whole animation was about some guy looking at porn. There's not much stuff that could be done to make it funny. However, at least this animation was trying to tell a joke (even if it fell flat), rather than shouting out painfully obvious references onto people's faces, so I'll give it that. But other than that, there's nothing interesting/funny about that unless you put in the time and effort to do so. Next time you make a parody animation, actually do some research, find something interesting, put a comedic spin on it, and overall, make it somewhat funny.

Next, the actual animation. I'll give it this, the art, colours and even the backgrounds were really well done, and I can definitely see you as a pretty good artist because of this. However, there was a lot of tweening & bouncing and not enough frame-by-frame animation & inbetweens, which sucks, since this animation was based on an action show. Also, the shading was a bit consistent. Sometimes, characters were shaded normally, but other times, the shading was completely black, or there was no shading at all. Unless if this is supposed to be a style, it just comes off as weird, unnatural, and amateur at best.

Finally, everything else. I liked the voice acting, but the music at the beginning was a bit too quiet, and I had to listen to it closely to find out that there was music in that scene. Also, I don't like the fact that the credits take up almost half the video (kinda like that one animation that you made).

So to sum up, the animation was sub-par at best, the "jokes" made were bad (but not as terrible as the previous video), the credits take up half the video, and overall, this video was crap. I can see you being a really good animator in the future, but with cartoons like these, I don't think you'll get very far in your career.
Just, try again.

Hello, pal! I read your comment and it is true some of the animation was lacking but I am still learning tools and other things for animation. If you don't like these videos, I guess it's fine. But I will not stop making parodies and videos I enjoy making. But I am working an original short with my best friend at the moment. But with parodies, they're not for everyone. Hoping you understand, champ.

[The Trend Collab]

Yet another crap collab. The only pluses I could give to it was at least some of the entries (although still bad) were I guess improvements from before. Also, it's not as insulting as the Stick Skits Series (or even that one Shape Shifting collab by TheAnimationWheel), so I'll give it that. But other than that, most of the jokes fall flat, the majority of the entries had meh to bad animation (with a few exceptions), and overall, it's a collab by VenomationsTV. Please try to improve your animation/collab quality next time. (Thankfully, you have Flash now, so it should improve a bit.) Thanks.

I'm not using flash until i get a drawing tablet

[Stick Skitz: Volume 3]

To be somewhat honest, although the previous versions of this collab were bad, you did say this: "I've learned by now that not every short I get is good enough quality, so I think I'll be fine with editing both collabs myself." Yet all you did was rearrange the shorts and added a couple more. I know I'm a part of this collab, but still. Even though there were some decent animations (ChricCToons, Tylarius & maybe myself), it still the same as all the others. So next time you make a collab, put some quality control into it, or if you want to be like New Wave, at least some fun or EFFORT into it. That's all that I have to say. Just, try again.

StaticSkull responds:

I actually don't know who New Wave is, but I do a lot of collabs, because they're easy and fun.
