Yikes, we were only the first week of 2021 and of course Trump supporters find a way to immediately ruin the year already. And yet, people wonder why I talk about politics in my videos. Seriously, not just the US, but for all around the world, it's just been a headache and the sooner they get rid of Trump and criminalize his brand of hatred, the better. Anyways, other than witness that American tragedy, here's what else happened this week for me.

- Released my review of Boy & The World: Wow, so much has happened since I watched the movie and wrote the review. Sure it was almost 2 months ago during the time my computer crashed, but still, there was just so many things and so many projects that were happening in such a short time that it can feel like a once upon a time that I looked at that. Anyways, this definitely fits in the category of an "animated art house" film, like there is a reason why I compared this to the works of Don Hertzfeldt. It's simplistic at first, but there is a deep mature core that lies within that shows how there is so much more. Also, this does take advantage of its simplicity as symbolism of the child's innocence and the use of open space to show his naïve point of view. Y'know, the typical artsy-fartsy stuff. But overall, like most Oscar-nominated indie animated films, this one is quite underrated and worth a watch to gain some animation culture. But in case you want me to talk about something more well know. Don't worry, the next one will have you covered for sure with The Emperor's New Groove. If you remember years ago, I mentioned that it's one of my favorite Disney animated films, so don't be surprised if I'll be more positive with this one.

- Writing and Recording Part 14 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: This turned out to be quite a challenge to write this one. Since I'm only dealing with 3 movies for this one, it wouldn't be as big as some of the other ones. Boy, was I wrong. This will most likely be a Part 8 scenario where there will be A LOT to talk about with these movies, especially with Frozen because it took me about three days to do all the research and write that segment alone. But I know that these movies are still big regardless and I have to take special care to really tell their stories right to make them as epic as the stories in the movies themselves. So far, The script is complete, I commissioned Logan for some fun animations and I have done the recordings, so all that's left will be to edit them all together next week. This will be fun to get this one done, so let's see how editing will go next week!

It's not a lot, but that should be it. All I'm hoping now is that there are no more far-right terrorist attacks happening again soon so I could have more time to do some proper work. But before I go, I'll leave you off with a more positive note. Notice how in those riots, none of those terrorists wore masks? If the police won't take care of them by sending them all to prison, then COVID will do the job in the way it knows best. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
