ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pmation: "Show And Spell"]

Nice 2d animation.
Great sense of exaggeration and expression.

Not crazy about the whole "stick figures against a sheet of notebook paper" thing.

[Attacker Vs Defender | Stickman Collab]

I'm not a fan of stick man animations.
Its a lazy animation style.

I have more respect for those who design their own original and detailed characters.
With more complex character animations, you have to pay more attention to perspective, lighting, etc.

You can still do that with stick man animations, but its very limited.

Although, I've got to admit.
That fight scene was pretty epic.

[Don't Reach Too Far For the Star]

That dog is the only one in that video who has a better grasp of what Christmas is suppose to be about.
I have to deal with those "other people" (entitled human trash) five days a week.
Christmas is not all about money.
Too many people nowadays have forgotten that.

Great Story.

Good Animation.
Designs and backgrounds are ok.

[The Bird & the Disproportionately Small Gap.]

Not sure what the point of all that was...I don't really get the joke if there was suppose to be one.

I liked the 8 bit, 16 bit, graphic style in the backgrounds.
The animation was good.

[The Tweet Before Christmas]

Excellent!
This was beautiful.
Every frame of animation in this was visually stunning.
Excellent use of visual effects (like the falling snow, lighting, etc.)

The humor in this was clever, funny, and somewhat depressing.

[Peace Force]

Ambitious.
This has A LOT of potential.
A great length, great story, great characters, personalities, and voice acting.

The character designs, backgrounds, and animation need work.
Nothing looked smooth.

[If Yu-Gi-Oh! was made by EA]

Lol, those facial expressions are so so ugly, but expressive.
Kaiba is such an asshole.
Great animation and video quality.

This was great.

[Immersion (independent short)]

I liked minimalistic animation style.
A good story, with a lot of emotion.
The background music and sound effects were really nice.

Well Done.

[Root & Digby - Holiday Special]

Overall, this is really well made.
Good characters with great personalities.
I can't find any technical flaws with the animation.

Very nice!

[Goofy's Confession - A Christmas Tale]

This was original and dark, but I strangely enjoyed it.

The lipsync was really good.
character designs were ok.

The snow effects in the beginning and end need work.
