Update Blog - 5/4/19 (Patreon)

It's been a long time since I've seen the Internet explode with fear and panic, but if there was one who would have the ability to do that, it would be Sonic. But in case you need something to help ease your pain that your eyes suffered from seeing that blue science experiment gone wrong, maybe some time to read this little blog can do the trick!

- Released my review of Knyacki!: Here's another curious review I found myself in. I've seen some people made comparisons to this with Quaq Quao (which was from the same Patron who requested it). With some of those I understand that it's geared towards kids, I really do appreciate Knyacki because it does have a bit of a universal appeal that everyone can get behind. It's cute and simple that kids can enjoy, but it doesn't pander down to have it feel exclusively towards them. Shame that more aren't available online or Knyacki has yet to go global, but I've enjoyed my time with the episodes I've seen :) Interestingly enough, I've seen some commenters state that Knyacki is popular in the Arabic TV channel Spacetoon, so there are some countries outside of Japan that do have a legit fanbase of the little guy. Sure, it's unexpected of me to review this show, but it's one that I can look back and feel happy that I got something nice out of it.

- Released my review of The Transformers: The Movie: Yes, I have finally reviewed the most 80s movie ever created. The only thing that could ever out-80s that would probably be Captain EO. But as I've said in my review, this movie isn't necessarily for me, or at least for my critic side. It's literally all action, little movie. I am aware this has a prominent fanbase, but I do feel like it's the kind that you really have to be in the mood for to soak in all the battle scene, anime-like animation and the massive cheese. Oh BOY is this film cheesy, especially with the soundtrack. What fight scene with Optimus Prime and Megatron wouldn't be complete without Stan Bush's The Touch or how can the Transformers NOT have a dance scene with Weird Al's Dare To Be Stupid? But yea, it's a movie for a specific taste, but when you're in the mood for that taste, I'm sure it's more than satisfying. However, the next movie will be right up my alley! In fact, I've put this one as one of my favourite Disney films with The Great Mouse Detective. I can't wait to revisit that one and I hope this can help me make a great review!

- Editing Animation Lookback: The Thief and the Cobbler: I went back to go and edit a new part to the series after I worked on a few other projects big or small. I will say right now that this was  the easiest part to work and edit on. Although not as exciting to work on as the previous part I recently made (and not released yet), but still an interesting part that does cover some elements that not many are familiar about. I will say with the section I did go into with the film's history, it's a very important one to cover that would answer many questions, but not the most pleasant to go through as it highlights the ways of how Dick's dream project not only got altered, but nearly destroyed. Downfall stories are not fun to talk about, but they are important to teach us a lesson on how to avoid them.

- Currently working on my review of Uglydolls: Out of all the animated films this year, this is one of my least anticipated ones. I've stated a few times before that it looks like a ripoff of DreamWorks' Trolls, but now it's time to see if there's any truth to that. I've seen so far that the reviews aren't all that encouraging, but who knows where I might fall? I know I'll have a little more work to do, since this is a legitimate musical, but I will take the time to make this one a strong review that will be worth the wait to many. Will this get ugly? I hope not, but let's hope I'm wrong with my past statements.

Now that we all had our little peaceful moment to read and clear our mind from any horrid images, it is now time we fill that with some hopeful and more positive thoughts on big budget CGI, and since Detective Pikachu is coming next week, I already got my anticipation on, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
