Update Blog - 4/17/21 (Patreon)

Timing is everything, and sometimes I have to make sure that some videos are out at the best time. Also, I know that there are some video that need more time to make sure they come out great (I'm sure you're all familiar with that when I was working on AL:WDAS+). This is why I technically had no new videos out for this week. But at least I did have a MASSIVE filler to put out this week. But what did I even do during the week? Well, let's find out! (Wow, it took me this long to start a blog with that catchphrase?)

- Released the completed version of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +:  I did announce before that I was going to release a completed version with all 16 parts in one mega video. It took me a bit of time to have the courage to go and do it, but with no new videos this week, it might as well be the perfect time. The reason why I said I needed courage to upload it is because I knew that it would be flooded with copyright claims...and it did. 57 of them in fact! Luckily, the ones that were claimed by Disney directly were quickly resolved, but I still got around 40 that all claimed a piece of music (all from UMG) and those are much more tricky to resolve and could take me years to get rid of them all. However, I'm happy that I put out not just the completed version, but also the definitive version because I admittedly made a few corrections throughout the series to improve on them. You could even do a crazy challenge and try to spot the difference between the YouTube versions and the completed one. Maybe some will prefer to see it in parts, but at least there is this version in case for those who prefer it.

- Created a Special Review: During the week, while I had to take care of other things in my life and do Patreon chats, I also worked on a special review that was requested by a patron. It's been a while since I've done this, but I'm gonna be looking at an animated series, but a very short one. May seem like I won't have much to work with, but considering the subject matter, this is honestly something that I am very familiar with, so I think I can make something interesting out of it. In fact, I just realized that I know the perfect release date for it to tie-in with something happening that connects to the subject I'm reviewing. Probably by the time you're reading this, I'm either finished or close to be done, but it will come out as a fun review to watch, since it's rare that I ever let this side out of me publically.

- Currently working on my review of Arlo the Alligator Boy: I promised that I'd start reviewing movies that come out on Netflix, and I might as well start that off with Arlo. Admittedly, from the trailers, I got a lot of mixed signals. I can see some good stuff like some really nice animation and the soundtrack from what I've heard is awesome, but the rest makes it look like from Amazing World of Gumball rip-off or that Netflix is trying to copy Cartoon Network in order to make their own content. Either way, I'll be hoping for the best and I'm on it right now to determine if this is up therewith their last 2D animated film, Klaus. Show me what you got, Arlo!

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 18th and at 2pm EST. (It could be later also, but I will update on Discord to give you the heads up because I will be a little busy in the afternoon). Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that was my week of work and socializing. I will definitely make things up next week where you will find more than one video ready for you, so I got some real good things planned in the future. I think you'll be in for a pleasant surprise with what I have in store ;) So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
