Butzbo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tales of Zale: "Into the Ruins!" - Episode 3 [CLIP]]

Niiice, hadn't seen your works in a while; Looking sharp on the animation and scenery! Keep it up with this 10 minute giant! :)

[Tiny Money - Stop Motion Game - Trailer]

This looks pretty cool! Both the stopmotion style and the surreal plot are quite intriguing, I'll look forward to the demo! :)

[The Future's Frog [Proof of Concept]]

Woah this was pretty cool to watch!, my favourite segments were the vignettes with the tadpole growing up, and the B&W aesthetic is well executed. As some mentioned, under the right plot, it could evolve pretty well into (at least) a short film!

["Earth" by Muramatsu, feat. Emily Kaplan]

Neat musical collab! I liked the character designs, especially the green worm.
I also like how the snail kind of serves a 'timeline' aswell. While screensavers are a pretty rare thing nowadays, this could be a great one!

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks! Yes, it's odd to think about how long it's been since I last saw a screensaver. Glad you enjoyed this collaboration; I would definitely recommend checking out Maruki's other work if you like this style.

[Good Night, Everybuds!]

Great job on the short! There's so much exploration on how the different characters move and mutate. Looks like it was a fun to animate!!

[Death With The Family]

Niice, great work on this one! It was pretty fun to watch especially the most paranoid mom-and-son moments.

[Smash Bros Intro - Remake Latino]

Melee's intro was a great choice! Great to see the different takes on the characters here, especially the more styilized ones.
Also, oh peanuts! I have to pay more attention to not miss these collabs!

[Pokemon Geodude vs Cubone]

Neat! this was pretty fun to watch, the subtle handmade tricks you used for special effects were the best part. especially those little (I believe made out of clay) star flashings and dust effects, I think there could be even more to emphasize on the action.
I also liked how you added trainers to justify the battle, but left the pokemon to do their own thing.

[Deadline]

Awesome short Joel!
I liked how you presented the rules of this world by revealing different details at a time like the costure-characters, and of course the deadline clock.

I wasn't quite sure why the protagonist didn't transform on the 'deadline' as she seemed from the same species as the other ones, but I guess it's more related to being more 'aware' or 'lucid' in order to avoid it.

Anyway! Good work on the technical side aswell, pretty entertaining short to follow,
Thanks for sharing it here on NG!

[hair today, gone tomorrow]

Coolibert short!, I enjoyed the variety of color palettes, and the Trash Wizard was a neat plot device. Great to find it here on NG!
