Update Blog - 9/28/19 (Patreon)

After almost 10 years of making videos online and starting my own YouTube channel, it finally happened. What was once considered an entire life goal in itself has now become a reality. I can now officially say that I'm a legit YouTuber with the numbers to prove it!

- My YouTube Channel officially hit 100,000 Subscribers: This honestly happened so fast. Throughout the Summer, I was contemplating that this would happen maybe sometime at the end of the year, but then when it really picked up the pace after the release of the first History of Legends of Oz video, then it climbed higher and now thinking it could be around my birthday (Oct. 5), but now my answer is just before it. This is a moment that I couldn't be more proud of in terms of my video works and that I feel like all those years really are worth it to be where I am now. Especially to you, the patrons reading this, I couldn't thank you all enough for the years of support you've given me, especially by going the extra mile of being a member! What's coming up next will be to get my verification badge (hope the new changes won't screw me over) and getting that Silver Creator Award (which is confirmed to be coming in 2-3 weeks from what YouTube told me). I'll be sure to make a video when it comes, so keep an eye out for that ;) I know I will!

- Released my review of Abominable: About time I got a review released on the same day as the movie! I can't even remember the last time that it happened that I got an early screening for a review XD Anyways, in the case of this movie, I can see the potential of this feature, especially when it delivers such great animation and visually memorable moments with the Yeti's magic, but other than that, its biggest weakness is both the directing and writing that made this feel like another forgettable kids film. Granted, it doesn't go overboard in wanting to please the kids by trying to be cool, but it's the kind of movie that relied too much on the animation and the unique character of the Yeti to carry everything while everything else played it way too safe and generic. It's a shame really, DreamWorks had an opportunity to have this be their next How To Train Your Dragon. At least it did complete the Yeti Cinematic Trilogy by following Missing Link and Smallfoot. Any more animated Yeti movies at this point and it'll become a universe! 

- Working on Part 2 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I can happily say that work is going at a great pace on this project. So far this week, Part 2 had its script completed, had everything recorded and now working on the editing. What I can say right now regarding this part is that it will for sure not be as long as the first. However, it will still be a big one because I'm expecting to have this be just over 30 minutes at least. I do have a feeling that it won't be hard to put everything together, but it will be long as it will require A LOT of different clips to present what I will be talking about. However, I'm sure when it all comes together, it'll come out as a real good part.

- Vote for the special 100K Subscriber Edition of AniMat's Classic Reviews: As a way of saying thank you to all my fans and supporters, I will be releasing a special ACR of the most requested animated film. Only catch: I don't know what it is. That's why I decided to put up a poll with the 10 most requested movies for me to review and you get to pick which one will be the winner. The review will be released around the 2nd half of November (and the clue will be revealed after the ACR from the beginning of that month). Click here to vote which review you want to see the most! 

With this new milestone, I'm more motivated than ever to create more amazing content for you guys to enjoy and I can confidently say that there will some amazing things to come. Here's to 100,000 subs and to many more to come! Again, thank you all so much and until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
