Update Blog - 11/23/19 (Patreon)

It’s been one heck of a week with lots of working on some future videos, but hopefully it can all pay off with a solid finale with one of my most anticipated movies of the year, Frozen 2. I hope it’s good because I sure as hell need it!

- Released Part 3 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: After doing the whole 1940s and going through some of the package films, it's nice to get back into the big-name classics again. But when doing my research, I noticed a whole lot more how the movies from the 1950s onward are more from the artists and story crew than from Walt himself. I knew about this before, but I never knew how big the shift was while Walt set his vision in other places like the live-action films and Disneyland. That's why Part 3 was highly dedicated to Walt's team like The Nine Old Men, Mary Blair and Joe Grant. With their impact onto some of the film, they truly need a moment in the spotlight. I may not have my Frozen 2 out at the same time as the movie's release, but at least I got a good excuse to bring out a great Disney video for you all. But there is one more thing I’d like to add that I will also bring up later today publicly. This will be the last part coming out of 2019. In a way, this will be a holiday break for both me and Logan from AL and Part 4 will be coming out with Sleeping Beauty and the 1960s films in January 2020. Don’t worry, there will be some major stuff coming in the meantime to keep you busy and I will make sure that Part 4 will be worth the wait ;)

- Released the new Q&A with AniMat: It took me some time for finding the right questions, but I know there are always some diamonds in the rough to make a simple, yet strong video that my answers can give it strong substance. There are a few that I know I gotta answer and get a lot of like many have asked regarding my first impressions on Disney+, but it's nice to see how some are related to advice like starting off with how to say your controversial opinion online and cap it off with how I keep my fedoras clean while confessing to my lack of fashion sense. It did end up having about the same length as this week's AL:WDAS+ part, but hopefully the ones who want to see me answer questions won't mind too much. There again, considering how 30+-minute videos are becoming a lot more popular on YouTube, maybe it is a good idea to have this length. But they are some very good questions and I do hope people found it to be very informative.

- Finished working on the Top 10s of the Decade: I didn’t expect I would get this done soon, but I can honestly say that I am shocked of the fact that I was able to get both the big Top 10s highlighting the whole 2010 decade finished and looking so good. Looking back at the upcoming videos, at least on my part, I’m really glad with what I have accomplished with ‘em. Sure, I can have my times when thinking, “Should I put this movie here?” while making ‘em, but now seeing those videos in their full completion with my thoughts mapped out clear and rational, I’m satisfied with the lists. Can’t promise that others will be happy and find a way to complain in the comments, but my only crime is just expressing my opinion. I can’t wait to show you these list next month because they will help end this decade on my channel with a blast!

- Currently working on my review of Frozen 2: For the rest of the year, this and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are my most anticipated movies for the rest of 2019 and like I said, I definitely need this after the crazy week I've had working hard and balancing it with my personal life. I'll just say that it's not been easy, but at least now I can have some time with a long-awaited movie and a review to take my mind out of the madness. I am aware that many have messaged me in a panic that reviews are stating that this movie is not as good as the 1st and that it could be a disappointment. Listen, I went through both Arctic Dogs and Maleficent 2. All I ask is if this is better than that, then I'll be fine. I just want my Frozen moment with number 2.

- New changes on my Patreon page: In case you haven't seen the message last week, I made a public post that I'm gonna made some changes on my Patreon page, including a new Tier list and a new $25/month reward. The changes will take effect on December 1st. If you wanna know more about the upcoming update, then check out the article right here! 

- I got interviewed for a Washington DC TV news station about Frozen: So this was the craziest last-minute thing I've ever done. All in one day, I was contacted by CGTN America to discuss and answer question regarding the success of Frozen. I decided to be opportunistic about it and said yes, and the next thing I know, I was chauffeured by a limo to go into one of the big studios in Montreal and be contacted via satellite to make this live 6-minute interview about why Frozen is so popular just in time for the release of the sequel. I'll explain more in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast, but if you would like to see my moment on TV talking about Frozen, check the video right here! 

And that should take care of this week and I'm glad to be out of there. Now I'm hoping that once I'm good with my time with Elsa, the next week will get easier for me, especially when I do have one more Top list to take care of to finish the year! So until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
