Update Blog - 12/4/21 (Patreon)

We've finally reached the final month of the year and I'm preparing myself for a very busy time. Not only are the holidays around the corner and will have to spend time with friends and family to celebrate that, but I got a whole lot of videos and reviews ahead of me that I'll need to work on (In fact, there's going to be a review of a new release every friday). As Kermit always says, "It's time to get things started". So let's recap on my week.

- Released my review of Chicken Run: I knew that I was about to be in for a good time with this review! It's one of those movies for me that I've already seen a few times, but I always have a lot of fun with it and can find myself quoting Babs saying "Is she on 'olidae?" But like I said in the review, the team at Aardman really gave it their all with this one and everything was crafted so well from the animation, to the humor, to the characters, and even to the plot of chickens escaping the farm. After reviewing some recent duds or even some genuine crap like last time, it feels nice to have something that I really like and that I'd use the AniMat's Seal of Approval again. However, the big highlight of the review is the twist ending, where I pulled a similar surprise to my Top 10 Weirdest Animated Films to reveal the next review. This won't be any ordinary ACR, this will be a collab review where me and That Creepy Reading will be teaming up once again to review one of the most disturbing animated films out there, The King of Pigs. Be careful, because I'm starting my 2022 very dark.

- Working on the Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2021: I could only make the most with my time to make progress on this project. However, I can happily say that it's going very well. This week, I made sure everything can be all prepared and that it'll be set up the best video it can be by the time it comes out at the end of the year. I've made a major revision to the script to polish my words, I did all the filming and all the narrations needed and I started editing where I got through with the hardest parts (mainly, the intro and building the numbers before the movies) and now the rest should be smooth sailing to bring this to life and update it when needed after watching a new movie. So far, it's looking like it'll be in great shape, but I still got some work to do before I can see the full picture of this one.

- Currently working on my review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021): I know that this will be a month where people will be flooding me with questions of what can I review because most of the new animated movies coming out in December will be from streaming. I know that this one in particular is relatively short to the point of being less than an hour, but then again, so was Hunchback II, so I don't see why not to take a look at this too. Plus, it's worth it to try out my first experience with this franchise and enter in this as a newcomer. I don't necessarily have any high expectations, but I am still curious of what all this is about.

And that is it for what is the start of a hectic month. So far, this is only a little taste for me of what's to come, but I'm still ready to get my stuff in order and go through all this one step at a time. It'll be a lot, but I'm hoping for a very rewarding end. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
