Update Blog - 5/23/20 (Patreon)

I don't know if it was from going through SCOOB or the Summer weather has finally arrived, but this week I had a lot of fuel to take action and really work hard on my work, rather it be putting out some Q&As or get things going with the production of the next part of AL:WDAS+. But I can gladly say that this was a very productive week for me.

- Released my review of SCOOB!: It's been a long time since I was disappointed at an animated film I was anticipating for. I'd even debate that I was more disappointed at this then I was with Rise of Skywalker. While I will give it that I find the animation to be well done and the element that stays the most true to the spirit of Scooby-Doo, but the rest is a complete soulless and bland product that I thought Hollywood moved on from doing these things like trying to be hip and cool and use pop-culture references as their main set of comedy. While I wouldn't say this is the worst animated film in recent years or even the worst movie based on a cartoon, but as a Hanna-Barbera fan and someone who use to frequently watch the shows, I just feel disappointed that this supposed Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe is off to a bad start. Also, It's crazy to see the wide variety of reactions to the film. I've never seen an animated movie this divided among the crowd since Frozen 2. But I know that, at least for me, this did not live up to the hype.

- Released the new episode of Q&A with AniMat: Funny that I had a major Q&A week for both my Patrons and for everyone else. In terms of the one released on YouTube, that was a fun one because there were some things  I felt like I gotta answer for the time being like how I'm doing during the pandemic and also some that even gave me ideas for future videos! But it was also enjoyable to just play around with some of the questions and even give me material to do more than answering. Guess the episode does speak for itself, but it was nice to do this one. Now where can I get those rights for that music I usually use for the credits?

- Working on the next part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: During this week, I can confidently say that I am working really hard on this part, especially during this week when there were some days that I went to bed really late at night to finish the job of the day. I'll start off by saying that this was not an easy script to write, especially when putting everything in order to tell the story of making these films. But other than finish the script, I also recorded all the narration and filmed the opening and now I'm at the editing phase where I put it all together. I'll say right now that this will be one of the bigger parts, since the running time could end up being around 45 minutes and over half an hour of that will be taken by Aladdin and The Lion King (I'm so glad I didn't go with my original plan of splitting the Disney Renaissance into 2 parts). It'll be exciting to put this all together, so I'm ready to take on this big job!

That should be all to mention about my week. I think I got a real good momentum going, so I'm gonna keep at it and hope this will translate into an epic video when Part 8 comes out next month. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
