Dean-Dobbs's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["A Slice of the Action"]

Really entertaining...

I really enjoyed this. The animation was really fluent and I certainly didn't expect the ending. Comedic timing and the style just really mixed well together, hope you continue to make stuff like this in the future. :)

[Smiley -Battle for Smokes]

No...

I can't say I enjoyed it at all. It was okay to start, it was a little random and random things can be funny. But when you base a cartoon on random events you shouldn't drag it on for about 5 minutes. The animation was pretty good, art wasn't really anything special and just overall wasn't that funny. Certainly not front page material.

Wall-E met his match...

Really good animation, keeps you interested from start to finish. It's also really interesting how you become so attached to the robot character enough to be GUTTED when he dies at the end. However, the ending is actually hilarious so I guess I can forgive you for killing him off ;) Anyway, this easily gets No.1 in my favorites. Good work!

[Owls]

We've seen it all before...

It's just another piece of smooth, well produced animation set to some random looping song. I'll give it a high score because of the effort and all that stuff but lets be honest, it's not new and it's not really worth anyone's time. I'm sorry if I'm not lapping it up like everyone else but you have like 10 of these animations and it just seems enough.

[Loss of Community]

I quite enjoyed that...

I really do like the message of this cartoon, it didn't take long to understand what it was about. I must say it's also a very valid issue that everyone faces even today so I'm glad you've made this; shows some superb dedication. Okay, you only 3 days left but I don't see any rushed effort here :) Animation was pretty flawless and I enjoyed the simplistic designs of the characters, really helps to highlight the main message of the piece.
I'll add you and this submission to my favorites, hope to see some more great work soon :)

[2 - The Story of Khale]

Entertaining but not very informing...

I've been waiting for this 'series' to unravel for a while now and I'm still not very sure what in the world it is about. I know the Khale character is supposed to become some almost evil force but this second installment doesn't really explain anything and you're not even sure what is going on or what the point in this episode is. I found this aspect slightly annoying but it only affected my scoring for this when it ended on the completely inappropriate line 'School Is Bullshit', I mean c'mon, why? I may be missing some underlining message about him calling school 'bullshit' as some foreshadowing of what is to come but over than that, it just seems like a session of Random events that result in a flying tree?
However, the animation is of extremely high quality and the music is certainly refreshing and very appropriate for the spring season ;)

LeafWorthy responds:

Thanks for the 'review'. The line is "this is exactly 2 years before I realize that school is bullshit, that it's not about me, it's about them and what they can get from me". I'm not sure if you went to highschool, but I sure did, and it was a LOT different than middle school for me. Honestly, if you DIDNT have a messed up time in highschool at some point, if you didn't at least question what the authorities were cramming down your throat, then the problem here is not my animation. Thank you for the compliments, but if the statement "school is bullshit" doesn't do it for you, you might not want to watch the rest of the series.

[Link's Prize]

Some real talent there...

Amazing attention to detail and some of the smoothest frame by frame i've seen on Newgrounds. I especially liked the 'edgy' look to the drawings, really suited the animation.
I'll favorite you and give you nice, tasty 5 because you're a newcomer and show outstanding promise for your first piece.

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

No where as funny as the original...

I can't say the movie was completely ruined but when compared to the original, it just isn't funny. It's in some ways practically identical with the original but it just kind of kills the humorous side to the movie. The visuals were exceptional and unique as they are always with your movies but maybe it's time to step away from Unicorns and work on something else with more of a plot line?
Also, may I add I did not like Charlie's voice in this one. Didn't sound as angry as before. So you lost around 5 stars just for that.
Sorry!

[Outlaw pt.1]

An interesting new concept and very compelling...

At first I was a little skeptical about movie from reading the description on the front page of the website, although the description usually just sums up the quality of the movie i decided to give this a shot anyway. And I must say I was delightfully surprised on how much thought, dedication and skill has been placed into this debut. I seem to have grown a liking for the Demon character rather than Brooks. This may be that Brooks didn't speak but there seems to be a rather interesting character concerning the Demon. I hope we get to see more of him (obviously) and I'd like to see some future development for Brooks so he doesn't just become a tool for violence and lack of story-telling.
Although the whole 'deal with the devil' (if that is what he is) is a little on the cliche side, for some reason I have a feeling you're going to be raising some eyebrows (in a good way) in the future installments.
Anyway, it's certainly an interesting, intelligent and compelling first chapter and I'm going to favorite You and this submission so I don't get lost in terms of updates.

Really looking forward to the next part!
Thanks.

[Brawl is here!]

It was okay...

It was pretty good and I've only taken sorely to this flash because the game still hasn't been released in the UK. I have no idea what possible implications they're running into concerning the UK release but I guess they have good reason and this flash is just taunting...
Otherwise, a good job ;)
