Menu Improvements!

Hey readers,

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve done some work in making my menus on this site more readable and navigable. Now, if you hover your mouse on the Indexes label located at the top of my blog, a drop-down menu will appear where you can access all the indexes that I have on my blog (My Thoughts, Top 13 Lists, Forgotten/Minor Characters Projects).

Likewise, if you hover your mouse over the WWTBAM-Animation Edition Games label, a drop-down menu will appear where you can access those videos from whichever season you desire.

Hope this helps make navigation and visibility easier! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

‘Despicable Me 3’ Trailer Debuts!

Regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of the Despicable Me franchise, Illumination Entertainment is making a 3rd film! And the first trailer for Despicable Me 3 has recently debuted!

From what I see in the trailer, I feel that this film will be….okay, at best, something along the lines of Despicable Me 2 quality. The villain seems quite annoying and I know I’m alone in this, but I miss the Minions’ presence in the trailer. (Oh, and I love Gru’s singing voice!) Hopefully the film (which is set to be released on June 30, 2017) will exceed my expectations!

What do you all think of the trailer? Are you interested in a 3rd Despicable Me film? Let me know in the comments below!

My Thoughts: FINDING DORY (2016)

finding-dory

Pixar’s latest film is one that I honestly wasn’t dying to happen! I mean, I wasn’t against a Finding Nemo sequel, but I wouldn’t have been disappointed if we never got a sequel either! So like a true animation fan, I went to see Finding Dory with an open mind. What did I think of it? Well, read on to find out!

‘Moana’ Podcast!

My Thoughts: THE WIND RISES (2013)

The Wind Rises was a Studio Ghibli film that I’ve wanted to see for a long time, but due to various circumstances, I wasn’t able to see it until last week. I had heard great things about it: It was a Studio Ghibli film inspired by true events rather than something fantastical, it was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars (with many people thinking it should have won the award instead of Frozen), and it was going to be Hayao Miyazaki’s last film ever as he was retiring!

Well, so much for that plan!
Well, so much for that plan!

So, did I end up enjoying this film and thinking it’s amazing as everyone says it is? Well, let’s take a look! (By the way, I watched the English dub of the film.)

‘Cars 3’ Teaser Trailer Debuts!

The first teaser trailer for Pixar’s upcoming Cars 3 has debuted:

What can I say except…Wow?! Everyone’s talking about how dark and gritty Pixar is getting with this franchise. I mean, seeing an injured near-retirement Lightning McQueen try to get back in the race does sound interesting! The film is set to be released in June 2017, so I wonder when a voice cast will be announced?

What did you think of the teaser? Are you excited for the film?

My 4th Blogoversary!

4thanniversary

Well, well, well…it’s been 4 years already! My, how time flies!

I started this blog as an outlet to share my love of animation with fellow animation lovers and it’s gone on to become one of the most important things in my life! In the past 4 years, I’ve done a Forgotten/Minor Characters project for the Disney Canon and Pixar films, made a few Top 13 lists, shared animation news with my readers, and hosted my own animation version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire!

In the past 4 years, I’ve come across many wonderful animation-loving friends and I’m truly grateful to all of you, be you fellow bloggers or readers! Let me know in the comments below what you think of my blog!

Happy 4th Blogoversary to me!
