Update Blog - 3/14/20 (Patreon)

Yikes...this has been quite a panic-filled week! This whole coronavirus situation has been getting pretty out of hand and everyone is freaking out to the point  that we cannot stop hearing about it and is causing people to hide in their homes and collect more toilet paper than they need. But if you need something to take your mind out of  the chaos, maybe this little blog can help a bit to let you know what I'm up to.

- Released my review of Onward: They are pretty rare, but looks like we got ourselves one of those less-than-perfect Pixar films, y'know, something like Brave, The Good Dinosaur and the Cars movies. Sure they're not in the same league as the other movies made by the studio (and a few can go low to the point of not good), but at least on their own, they are decently enjoyable and this is easily one of those cases. Many people seem to agree that it is not a great film, especially when the writing can be pretty weak and the story is boringly unoriginal, but I will give it credit that there is a lot going for it too. The animation is still great to look at (even if there isn't much) and the voice acting is real good and does make the characters memorable in a way. I'd even say the best actors in here for me are Tom Holland and Octavia Spencer. I guess the best way to put it is that it's JUST good. Not Pixar good, but still good where I can see where it is well crafted and did touch my heart that I did tear up at the end. Worst case, if you're not satisfied with this, there's always Soul that's coming out in a few months!

- Working on the next part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I will say that the next part is going very well and it's quite exciting to see how the production go quickly where I'm already at the editing phase. I finished up the whole script and made sure all the right research and words are used to enter in the next chapter and I did all the recordings and filming I need to put all the pieces together. As it is about Disney animation in the 1980s, this won't really be a big part compared to some others. I'd say the running time could be around 30 minutes and that's it. But I am still excited to be working on this part because this is the start of the new chapter in my big Disney story, where Walt is no longer the main character and now it's people like Michael, Jeffery, Frank and Roy taking the leads. I'll definitely be having fun with editing this one and help me get hyped up for next time when I'll return covering legendary movies again!

- Changing my release plans for the AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast YouTube channel: I haven't fully announced it publicly yet, but I might as well make the announcement here first because you are my Patrons and I luv u so much :3 Anyways, on my AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast channel, I was considering what to do with my highlight videos like either to keep 'em or stop 'em, but then several comments recommended a better idea. I shouldn't end the highlights, but rather just put them AFTER the full episode! So here's the new schedule for the channel. On Mondays, I'll be posting the full episodes as usual, and then I upload a new Highlight video from one of the stories of that week on Tuesday. Admittedly, this will help with spreading out my work on my podcast instead of throwing it all on Saturday where I do my podcast, then set everything up for the week. I'll start this immediately with the episode coming up, so hope this will work out a lot better for the channel!

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 15th at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

That should be all to go and report for this week, so I just would like to cap this blog off by saying keep calm and remember to wash your hands! So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
