Update Blog - 6/1/19 (Patreon)

We've received so much hype this week! Hype for Pixar's next original movie in 2020, hype for The Dark Crystal Netflix series, hype for the Lion King remake where the animals look like...well, animals, but let's see if any of my news here can give you some hype as well for what's to come!

- Released my review of Aladdin (2019): With the way people feel about this movie, the Aladdin remake is like what Venom was last year, where audience's reactions are just everywhere and people either love it, hate it, or go anywhere in between (except this time, the critics share the same feelings as the public). Admittedly, I fall somewhere in the middle where I know it's inferior to the animated version, but does have some good merits that stand well of their own like the costumes and some of the acting with Will Smith and Naomi Scott. Even with some of the comments I've seen, while many different feelings are shared, it's nearly unanimous that this in't gonna beat the 1992 film. With my review, I'm glad that the opening paid off really well and became the highlight of the review, since I did spend a whole day trying to work it out and make revisions to make sure everything can work in order. But at least I'm glad I got this done, let out all my feelings about it and move on to the next review...Until we do this all over again in less than 2 months with The Lion King.

- Finished editing Animation Lookback: The Thief and the Cobbler: That's a wrap! Yes, this week officially marks the completion of making the whole series of AL: TatC. I edited the final pieces and revised the last part to make sure I can give it a satisfying ending that it deserves. It could be possible that I might go back on the upcoming parts for a few additional revisions, but I can officially say now that the main part of making the videos are officially done. I won't immediately jump into making the next Animation Lookback just yet (I do want to give myself a break from it), but I can say right now that it was quite a fascinating experience to learn about everything that happened in the making of The Thief and the Cobbler and hope that this AL will be a fitting tribute to its insane history.

- Working on some new AniMat's Classic Reviews: After I finished off AL: TatC, I decided to jump right back into making some reviews and I think it's a good time to get ahead with the ACRs (since the next one is coming soon). For the reviews that I have worked on this week, I did one that let me play around for a little bit as it is lesser known, but does have a unique origin, but the one that I am currently working on will be a big one. Not just because of the animated film I am reviewing, but also the review itself will be one where I will have a lot to say and describe what the movie is trying to do. It's one of those reviews that I have to a little more than I would usually do in order to have it do justice to what I am talking about. There's no rush here, so I am taking the time to get this one right and have it be worth what people would expect form me when the day comes that I talk about this movie in full.

- Help me pick the Next Editorial: You may have noticed this week that I put a post exclusively for you guys regarding a potential idea for a new Editorial video. It's not that I'm out of ideas, but the opposite. I got too many ideas that I'm not sure what to do first. That's why I decided to make a poll and soon I'll go with the one that ends up with the most votes. A little spoilers, even if the rest doesn't get picked, I most likely will do them in the future (since some get very close to winning it). If you haven't voted yet, then come select what you'd like to see be the next Editorial here! (Also, it would be a big help if you pick just one to make my decision much easier, thanks!)

And that should give you your good dose of hype with my videos for the week! As we just entered June, this will be a month where I've got a whole bunch of videos to unleash and really go crazy with them. Hopefully, they will be worth the wait, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
