AaronofLive12's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZTV News Short: Halloween]

Before reviewers say that the product is fiction, I know already that it is.

Two immediate issues I can see.
First, a rating of Teen? This should clearly be rated Mature or Adult, since visually, it was safer than the audio. Secondly, the comments; none of the 'Not suitable for children' or similar are written on the author comments, and a warning should be placed for the purpose of the lyrical content.
To watch safely, be under adult supervision to watch this (if you are a child), or/and have enough knowledge of the topics of pornography and self-touching. Again, visually harmless, but sexualized in audio content. Believing in the holiday is an optional field.

Another 8-bit parody song and it is about internet pornography. I found the lyrics more parodied than truth. In other words, the music overall is well produced and is enjoyable if parodied music is a deep preference to you. I personally thought the song was average.
That aside, I would prefer to listen to the full version of the instrumental than with lyrics.

Other than the parody, the rest fell flat, and predictable from the first viewing. Still, enjoy the holiday, although some do not celebrate it.
I'm rating it 6/10 for the whole.

[Cop Dog]

Very Mediocre.
In some sense it is original, but that is a small portion unfortunately.
In no detail I'm going through the music, as it is used positively. Nor in detail would I go through the visuals.
It is heavily cliched. That would be the most flawed element through the whole. That is the simple reason I have rated the animation 4/10, because of the excess cliches and pop culture references, and therefore, is the most relevant as a fantasy for a teen block morning show. The story is the other cliche.
The other negative area in the animation is the characters. Stereotypes written all over.
Ending this review, I realize now this comes as a submission for NATA 2012. Theme oriented.
Still, as I'm not reviewing this for a contest, but as a general review. I overall review my results to this as a common animation, with explicit cliched elements throughout.

[ToyStory4]

Just another pointless meme animation.

Quit acting retarded and release a decent product!
Not only was this a short piece of ridiculous eye candy/visual detail (the only decent element of the whole animation), but this IS extremely misleading, bar none.
Grow out of internet meme trash products. Idiots and meme lovers may enjoy this but it's definitely snuff (a bad animation) when a lot of positive and mature viewers see it!
I know this will be portal protected, and it makes absolute sense.

Carbonwater responds:

Not really trying to appeal to the meme audience.
Just came to the conclusion that these two franchises are both toys, so I made something short about them.
Simple as that.

[Koopa's day]

Memories of Bomb-Omb Battlefield

A nostalgic trip down the koopa shell.

I know it's about one minute long, but in this piece, time was right in place.
The ironic surprise of when Mario interferes Koopa Troopa's exercise routine, would be the crucial part of the animation. For Mario in the cliche fashion, Koopas are basically a small obstacle in his path, as this failed documentary shows.

It felt quite satisfying seeing the appearance of the characters. You also did a good job with the expressions, from the various expressions from Koopa Troopa, to the dark behavior of Mario test driving the shell (so to speak).

Presented as a whole, the product is of a simple parodied concept that works on many fields. The use of macabre was an unexpected (and positive) element viewing this product, with Lakitu's emotion being perfect for an ending.

A rating of 9 stars overall. Reason for one star deduction: Where were the Goombas after the incident?
