Update Blog - 7/30/22 (Patreon)

Timing can be an important factor in order to make things work in your favor. The craziest part of it is when it happens completely by accident. I completely forgot that this week was Bugs Bunny's birthday and here I am coincidentally putting out a Top 10 video about the Looney Tunes. Hey, as long as it works well in my favor and I did something right, I won't be complaining. But that wasn't the only thing that happened this week. Here's how it went.

- Released the Top 10 Worst Looney Tunes Characters: This was just a little idea I had in my mind for a while. I remember a while back that I was in a podcast with Logan (ToucanLDM) and we talked about characters that we didn't like in the roster and he mentioned his hatred for Charlie Dog. I don't know why, but that idea stuck to me since and figured that it would make an interesting subject for a video. After witnessing animation fans on social media really getting engaged with the topic of worst Looney Tunes characters, that's what motivated me to try this video out. As a result, I don't expect this to be a list that everyone will agree with me on with who I've ranked, but it was definitely fun to revisit what I haven't looked into in a long time. It kind of brought me back to when I did AL on the Looney Tunes characters years ago. Sure, I had to watch a whole lot of the Tunes' bottom-of-the-barrel toons and a lot were more cringey than fun, but it was an interesting look to see a side of the Looney Tunes that very few actually talk about. At the very least, it will make some very interesting discussions amongst cartoon fans.

- Editing Animation Lookback: The Muppets (Part 2): Admittedly, I did not have a lot of time to work on this and the progress on where it stands is not necessarily a big one. However, it is still going well and I did start to get the ball rolling. In a way, I considered it to be a little practice before editing the pieces together for The Muppet Show segment. It was to highlight the moment of what happened between the premieres of Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, but the more I went into editing and finding all the right clips for it, the more I got invested and the more prepared I am to really bring this video to life. I may need to do a break to get another video done beforehand (as I'll talk about underneath this paragraph), but it's now getting me more pumped up to get this video prepared for you all. There's still more work to be done, but a lot was already in this and can't wait to see it come to life!

- Currently working on my review of DC League of Super Pets: Honestly, the trailers did not sell me. I've always had this bad feeling that this would be just the WB's desperate attempt to rip off The Secret Life of Pets and capitalize of their success. However, maybe things could change once I start actually watching the film. Surprisingly, it's been getting some decent reviews. Maybe not GREAT reviews, but they have been decently positive, so maybe there is more to this feature than I thought. We'll see, but figuring out if the movie is good or not is what I'm currently doing right now, so stay tuned for next week and I'll have my review ready!

And that's what's been happening during my week. Since there's another new animated movie coming out next week, I wouldn't be surprised if the next is going to look similar to this week. I'll still do my best to get those big projects ready, but then again, at least you do have a Top 10 to enjoy. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
