Update Blog - 5/25/19 (Patreon)

This week feels like we're living in 1992 all over again as Disney's Aladdin seems to be the most talked about topic and no one can escape it...Not even me. In fact, I only realized after uploading one of this week's videos that even I'm jumping into the trend, since the new Animation Lookback part does include a moment where I talk about Aladdin XD What a coincidence! But of course, that's not all that happened with me this week. 

- Released the new episode of Q&A with AniMat: Yes, it was time to get back and answer questions that fans might have for me. I was honestly surprised to see the amount of people who wanted to participate across social media as I think either the amount of questions or the amount of people that asked me got more than 100. But for this episode, I went into more the general and wholesome questions that feel like they feel good to answer them like my animation heroes, that or stuff that would be fun to play with the answer like the one about romance between a person and an anthropomorphic animal or bring back my impression of Figment. Funny enough, it wasn't one where I had to add in some additional editing or add a lot of clips to spice up the video. Most of it is just showing me to answer the questions and sometimes, that's all it needs really. It was a simple video, but with how it's also straight to the point, I'm satisfied with how it came out :)

- Released the 3rd part of Animation Lookback: The Thief and the Cobbler: I can honestly say that among all the parts for AL: TatC, this one is my favourite because plenty of creative and fun moments just presented themselves to me to add that Animation Lookback charm to it like Williams' "The Best Has Yet To Come" bit at the Oscars or putting his head on Jafar when Prince Ali pops out. But I feel like my crowning achievement of this whole series has to be the grand finale of the song. Funny enough, only now I thought about making a parody song in Animation Lookback and I am so proud of this one that highlights all the changes that ruined The Thief and the Cobbler and so far it's among my favourite things I've done in a video this year. Overall, I'm very happy with this part and how it nails many of the core elements that makes Animation Lookback like the humour, the style, the fun and of course, the trivia. By the way, I also made an MP3 version of the song in case you want it in your music library. Check it out here and enjoy Richard Williams' nightmare in the form of a musical number! 

- Created a new Special Review: You might remember last week that I talked about making another Special Review just after I've posted one on the Walking Dead game. Well, during that weekend (or a week ago), I was able to go and finish making that review. What I can say about what I did review is that it does have a very fast pace and I did try a bit to emulate that for the review itself. It would be totally crazy to emulate the same style, so there's also a big part that this is more straightforward and talk about my side of the story and with what I'm talking about to present the themes of the subject matter. Still, I'm happy that I did gain that experience of seeing what I did, so now thing do make a little more sense now. But with that done, I got another review coming for me. This one was like practice, but the next will be the big one (well, in this current time anyways).

- Currently working on the review of Aladdin (2019): Right now, I am getting back into Round 2 of Disney's 2019 live-action remakes and this time, it's the Disney Renaissance classic, Aladdin. I'm honestly a bit worried for this one, especially when the last one was an embarrassment and it really did not have a good reputation while on the road to its release. Let's just say before Sonic the Hedgehog, there was Will Smith Genie. Still, maybe there can be hope that I might enjoy it, as critic so far say that at least it's not a disaster with some legit good qualities in it. But still, regardless of what happens. I got some crazy ideas for it and ready to show you what I have in store next week. Can't wait to completely forget that this even exists in the first place in a few months :P

And that was my little adventure of the week. It was quite a load with several projects to work on, but I'm honestly excited to start a new week to start fresh without the whole Aladdin buzz and just focus on making my stuff one step at a time. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
