Reviews for Return to the Playhouse

[CommonOddity]

Definitely interesting.

Wonderfully bizarre and unnerving. What really rattles my puzzler is the tremendously fine balance in the relationship between sex, death and morality. There's a bleeding edge portrayal of each which flirts with one another in a continuously engaging manner that is generally not explored so freely in other works (or at least, none that I've come across).

I'm genuinely intrigued. After watching your Patron, it seems I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon. There's a certain twisted beauty behind the thin thread that strings all of the aforementioned elements together and I can't quite put my finger on how you accomplish this magic.

I will say this much though... This definitely smacks of soul food. You are one of the very few people I believe when they claim that something they've wrought is 'from the soul'.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to analyze this and exploring the themes. It's so much better than the usual 'woah wtf that wuz weird dood lol wutf.'
I appreciate that you can recognize that this was a labor of the bleeding heart, and comparable to delicious food.
Much Gratitude for you jumpin on that Patreon bandwagon! Oh Jolly Gee, I'll see you in there!

Ok just to make it clear i voted 5 on your animation because of the great work and effort you put into the animation but also i want to give u this review to let you know my personal oppinion so ...got to admit ive seen some strange looking shit in my days but this this is fuckd up ...wierd and kind of disturbing in a way i mean wtf has that dog been takeing cocaine? or meth? in any case also good job with the king pin doll that one part i liked from the Marvel series also want to add something else i dident like this animation because it has no action to it ... i mean you need to be more inventive like for instance Alfred going to McDonals or KFC ... whit a flamethrower like being a pyromaniac .... get it? or Alfred sitting at his pc and exploring the Deep Web just saying and also good luck with the movie

emily-youcis responds:

I suppose you haven't seen Rise of Alfred yet - Where he gets hired as Manager of Burrito Bell and starts purging his employees. He even sets a bunch of bagels on fire. Perhaps that will be more action packed for your... tastes. Thanks for voting 5!

I find it strange how sometimes your animations are sloppy and cheap and other times they are well constructed and fluid. You have the potential to be the greatest animator Newgrounds has ever known.

Nevertheless, screw Dic.

Oh FUCK this got me hard. Dude! your fucking Alfred Alpha stuff is awesome. I can't get enough of the amount of detail you put into your visual effects. I'm also impressed with the way you wrote this animation, it honestly feels like an actual opening to a genuine film. I can't wait to see more.
