Update Blog - 1/23/21 (Patreon)

This is technically the 3rd full week of the year, but this somehow feels like 2021 has officially started with some new major changes that will guarantee that this year will be different from the last. Will it be better? We will see, but it's for sure that this won't be 2020. But with that said, let's talk about my week.

- Released the AniMat Watches of Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000: Zoom Gas! Yes, Yes, YEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!! Oh, that film was quite something, wasn't it? Back when I did the previous AW, I also make this one and personally, this turned out to be my favorite of the two for the way it managed to break me halfway through. And this is not a long movie either. This is only about an hour, so that's gotta be some kind of record. I know that real Chuck E. Cheeses aren't like the craziness that I've witnessed in this, but it still doesn't change how this is one of the most bonkers movies I've seen with out-of-nowhere musical numbers, lack of explanation with whatever's happening and how it's probably hornier than it should be (especially with the way they try to ship Chuck with the chicken). I don't know what it is with movies that star costumed mascots, but they somehow end up becoming the weirdest features and possibly some of the best materials for AW.

- Finished Part 14 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: This took longer than I thought, but I finally got this project complete. Part of the longer time was due to how I had one day of sleep deprivation, but I'm just happy to have finally got out of this one. A lot of it had to do with revisions and making sure everything works out correctly, but especially it's to make sure that it can fit well on YouTube. There were some visual revisions I had to make like have a few clips be shorter, but I will say right now that there will be a big difference between what you will get on Patreon and what will be on YouTube. The biggest will be with the soundtrack. Thankfully, you guys will have the original version with the soundtracks of the movies I talk about, but because of YouTube's highly strict copyright claims and that we are dealing with a lot of major modern hits, there was no way I can put it up with those songs behind my narration. Instead, I'll be using the soundtrack of Kingdom Hearts 3 instead. But either way, I hope the part will still come out as strong and that the public will still enjoy this one regardless. Should be coming pretty soon.

- Working on AniMat's Classic Reviews: Now with the new part done, I can finally get back into some smaller projects like doing some more reviews. I know I got a whole bunch coming my way this year, so I might as well get some practice rounds done with the ACRs. So far, I'm just about to finish up an upcoming one and I'll be heading towards the next, but I will say that this is going to be my biggest review so far with the one that's coming up because I ended up finding much more to talk about than I thought. I don't know if I'm just putting more in my explanations and my criticisms, but the review alone without the post-talk is nearly 14 minutes long!Then again, people like long reviews and I hope that this means that it's helping me to become a better critic. I'll be working on more of these in the meantime before I jump onto the next special thing, but it's good to be back on the critic sattle once in awhile.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 20th and at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that's what I've been up to this week. Now that we've settled ourselves in 2021, let's move forward and head straight to see what this year will give us. Yes, we still got some residue from last year, but let's hope this year will be like the shower we all needed. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
