Stanpai's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FulpWare Gold]

Great job, team!

Really loved the parts that not just capture the original material but properly make it WarioWare. Linerider, There She Is, Dad's Home, Punch Punch Forever, and the like in particular stood out for this. I think Line Rider might be the most perfect example, really flawless execution.

Then you have the parts that were artistically super faithful, like Mime & Dash, Fancy Pants, etc. This was great fun to watch, and after the original FulpWare, it was a curious thing to wonder what other great Flash classics could be represented.

Also, I'm sure someone pointed this out but Game Over happens when there are still two lives left. I think there's a missing fail-state in one of the earlier parts.

Also x2, I think we get that you like Sonic by now. You don't have to keep reminding us!

Great job, team!

["That" Scene from The Road to El Dorado Reanimated]

Great job! It's awesome to see where your skills have gone!

Thanks! Here's hoping I haven't reached my ceiling just yet hehehe

This is really pretty but it has no reason to be in the movie portal rather than the art portal, as it has no sound and is only 3 seconds long.

Like i said in the description, the gif would destroy all the colors since there's lots of gradient's. so i put it here for the best quality.

and those "Only 3 seconds long" took 3 weeks and 141 hours to pull off 👍

[PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER! ep2]

An improvement on all of the shortcomings in the first episode, which were very few in the first place. Phenomenal work. I am immensely grateful to have the privilege of watching this.

Happy birthday!

I'm really proud of how far you've come creatively in the last few years. The use of mixed media in this really gives it a lot more punch than if it had been a purely animated work, and I think also elevates the style tremendously. The character illustrations for example, are not something that breaks any new ground on their own, but the stop motion elements around them give them a depth that makes it something more.

The use of the text as the background was also brilliant, I assume this was an adaptation of another story but told through a new perspective. My biggest regret is that I had seen the previously posted comment / reply before the video loaded, so I didn't get to try and interpret the meaning myself. I think the mindful choices of pages and even the content on the corks was very tasteful and interesting.

In relation to your journey I think about the conversation you and I had back when producing the Newgrounds Winter Fest animation, and how you were specifically brought on for your photo work to be used as potential background assets before you also dove into creating animated 2D assets as well, and I feel as though I can follow the trajectory of your style alongside this and your older photo work.

I believe as your art style continues to develop and sharpen, you will find a steady audience that enjoys the way you use stop-motion in tandem with illustrations to offer something visually different and stimulating. When those illustrations reach a new plateau, this 4.5 will become a 5/5. Continue developing your illustrations and don't lose your grip on the way you use physical media in tandem with it. You have the potential to take this style extremely far.

Stick with a good sound designer as well, that really added a lot to the experience for building depth. You could also experiment with more lighting techniques to really take it further.

I really feel like a failure to not have any feedback for improvement because your style and execution was flawless. This is sincerely such a beautifully put together cartoon in all relevant aspects. If I force a comment, it's that the mic quality could be improved but that's so unimportant and did not detract from the video that I'm nitpicking just to offer some kind of commentary. Of course this video is also 12 years old so why am I even doing all that?

It doesn't matter. What a great little piece this was. Glad you're still making stuff in present day.

Brotherly bond had a really good vibe and style to it. I liked the way the voices sounded too, whatever was going on with that.

StaggerNight responds:

The only effect on the twos voices was a sine wave vibrato that i would manually change the rate of as I spoke. Glad u enjoyed .
