I didn't really know where else to post this but I post it here. So this is gonna be a little rant on the animation film Sing coming out this christmas, which happens to come out from Illumination Entertainment, a animation company that I have lost hope for the past 3 years. So if you know me I am an aspiring animator and screenwriter. Ive been studying filmmaking and marketing so Im really into how companies sell their movies to the audience. Ok so yesterday a usual afternoon some tumblr users posted the new trailer for Illumination's Sing a movie focusing on anthropomorphic animals. I was not that interested but I decided to give it a shot. Then when I turned on the trailer I noticed a very strong resemblance to a character used in the trailer, The snail that appeared for like a few seconds seemed like a copy of an animation school's short film (and I know the people who made the short film) If you just take away the bow tie and change the texture color to green you have almost the exact same snail model from the short film(by a coincidence I don't think so. Since all the animals in the trailer look very cartoony while the snail has more realistic features to it) Sing's Snail Animation School's Short Film If the crew happened to work on the film then I would not care but when I hear that none of the crew members is working on the film I find this very suspicious, their short film became viral so it was by no means unknown by the public especially not in the animation industry. Another thing don't you find this Sing film has a very similar approach to Zootopia maybe not in plot but in world building. LET'S LOOK HOW LONG ZOOTOPIA WAS IN PRODUCTION I happened to be at the D23 last summer and there I met the crew from Zootopia and got to know how long it took for them to produce the film. Their film was announced in mid 2013 but they started as early as of late 2011 right after Winnie The Pooh had been released. So Zootopia was in production for at least 4-5 years. AND NOW ILLUMINATION'S SING So right after I saw the trailer for Sing I quickly looked up any information I could find on the production. Then I found out that they started production on the film as of mid 2014 with having the film announced late 2015 for the public. Enough time for Illumination to compete with Disney's marketing for this year I mean just look at what Illumination is releasing this year, The Secret Life Of Pets that looks like a complete copy of Toy Story and Garfield, and now Sing that competes with anthropomorphic animals that lives in peace and harmony (sounds familiar). Originally Sing was going to have 2017 summer release but they pushed it up to 2016, Hm I wonder why. IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH All anthropomorphic animal movies that comes out in 2016 is pretty much because of Zootopia, if you don't trust me on this one then let me tell you that all the other animal movies were announced a year after Zootopia was announced. If you happen to work in media industry, a year gives you enough time work out something from another's story and steal ideas or use the same concept. Every Animation company is always competing with each other so it's no surprise that smaller animation companies look for bigger ones like Disney. If you ask me this sounds very similar to when Dreamworks stole ideas from Pixar with, A Bug's Life and made Ants. I find it funny that Illumination have the gut to put out the trailer before Zootopia is released around the world and even releases the film the same year. You might think that this is nice we have two anthropomorphic animal movies in a year but this is just a strategy for making fast money, This is all part of Illumination's campaign, they'll easily get kids and teens attention with using the (from the creators of Despicable me) and use the all star cast that is part of the film along with many modern pop songs. That's simply how it really works. I think you could get a clue from last year that Illumination's strength is marketing, they made a lot of money with minions thanks to their campaign. Illumination is however a very flawed industry when it comes to strong storytelling and often brings out cliched and one dimensional characters with famous actors to voice their characters instead of caring about the story. Enough of my rant but the fact that they release a trailer for their film that won't be up until christmas par with Zootopia is just a sign for someone that's hungry for attention. I am always open for new ideas and stories but when I see something that looks like it has been done too many times before or if it's stealing from others work on purpose for staying popular then I have no interest. Oh and to make sure you don't use the typical defense argument "It's just a kids movie" That's no excuse, these movies are made by full grown adults and despite if it's a kids movie you have every right to criticize a movie for it's approach and execution, as long as you keep it in a nice tone .

I used to be silent. On kh13 I have been somewhere in the middle, but not to long ago I realized that speaking about things that made me want to speak, I should not hold back cause what is there really to fear more than holding back your talk. Even if there is something that I don't agree on, I won't hold back at speaking my mind as long as i can explain what I see the differ. Point being it's better to talk than stay silent, both for confidence and trusting yourself.

Thank you both, really appreciate it . One thing that I was really happy with the drawing was how I drew the eyes so that it would look like she was looking back at you, eyes that was alive.

Well here it is

Do you like traveling? What do you like to do on the weekends?

Check out these new posters for Finding Dory along with a marketing poster that reveals Nemo and Hank the octopus

Thanks man

So I decided to draw Finnick from Zootopia in his baby elephant costume, cause he's adorable in that costume along with his popsicle.

Thank you well you see This is gonna sound a little crazy but I had this awful nightmare to start of the day. And for some very surprising reason I felt like I completely lost my confidence today while in school. I felt very lost and I usually don't feel that way. Usually Im very optimistic but today I felt very down and a little sad like I don't know if the weather affected with the raining and making me feel bored and a little sad. I just wasn't feeling like myself today I...

Today was not such a good day

I really want to see Bolt as a summon that would so awesome. He can run as fast as the lightning, he can break strong walls, he can laser stare his enemies and best of all he can create a huge storm with his super bark.

Valentine's Day: probably gonna buy me some chocolate, and listen to all by myself . Zootopia/Zootropolis is coming out earlier where I live so Im gonna see that movie this month.

I can't believe I missed to upload this, anyway here's a new quick little teaser. And I haft to say that Dory's animation looks more detailed in this little new teaser than what she did in the US trailer.

THIS IS AWFUL, but at the same time Im not surprised since not only this happens to YT it also happens to Twitter where accounts are hacked and forced to follow creepy stalkers at the moment. Im sorry but, WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR SOCIETY. But thank you for making this topic so that I could back up all my content before YT might be coming after me too. I swear if anything else crazy happens on that site I might just delete my channel myself if the consequences goes further. The thing that is so incredibly stupid and unacceptable is that today especially in our 2010s period people are so easily offended by every darn thing shown In media and in real life too. I mean just go to Tumblr and any kind of post will be criticized for some kind of offensive stupid and un logical reason, people are delusional. And you wanna know another thing that really pisses me off on YT is that if any kind of hacker can go under the name of a big studio that claims copyright on your video and YT doesn't test them instead believe them to be the real company. So when I tried to report a hacker channel who had stolen my videos and said it was his I tried to report him, and I had every darn right to do so since I sat for hours and worked on a video, but guess what YT did nothing about the situation and the culprit continued his little game behind YT's back. I was planning to start fresh on YT this year after my hiatus but now I will probably reconsider, but this really sucks. YT used to be my hobby where I made content that I could share with nice people and it was my only way to communicate with my YT friends I had a blast from 2010-2012 back then YT didn't give so much attention to copyright. The horror really started when Google + got involved I lost many of my subscribers from a Google + glitch and then I had start everything over again. I never and I still don't like Google + it was so much better when it was just on YT's site you could read messages. I have contacts with people from around the world and it's so nice to feel so connected on YT but of course there will always be people that just haft to kill any moment that is filled with peace and joy I mean just look at our world today everyday something bad happens it's almost impossible to stay optimistic and happy these days. Enough of my rant but if YT delete more accounts Im sure gonna miss all my friends, liked videos and playlists that I used to play everyday. If you make another mistake YT Im out!

They look delicious

I only like the snow when it's not intense filled with cold blizzards and storms. Soft snow I have nothing against since it's not that cold but I truly despise the cold that's filled with blizzards (The cold always bothered me anyway)

Too bad Brother Bear isn't considered on the list, anyway I want to see many of the ones in the list. To name a few The Jungle Book, The Emperor's New Groove and if it's possible Zootopia.

:'(I just can't believe it's true rest in peace Rickman

No worries

I was very into finding the original script after I saw Sohn's version. You see the problem is that Bob Peterson's script never got finished cause Peterson just couldn't get past the third act at least of what I heard from interviews and articles that was made in mid 2014 when The Good Dinosaur was revamped and completely changed. However after doing some searching on the net around late november 2015 I found an interesting article that digged more deep into the story of Peterson's script. this is the closest I got to Bob's script from this article it mostly explains about the characters that never appeared but was part of the merchandise. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/by-thinning-the-good-dino_b_8738842.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment If you combine every interview and article that was made before The Good Dinosaur was revamped in mid 2014 you get the story like this. Arlo was originally going to be a young adult in his early early twenties in Peterson's script, The characters Sam, Vivian, Mary Alice, Jack and Will were all friends to the apatosaurus family and worked together on a farm. Arlo had 3 siblings and Arlo wasn't really born into a strong apatosaurus and he felt very different and wanted to do other stuff than work on the farm. he was obsessed with bugs and protected them from the other dinosaurs who saw bugs as pests [this pretty much gave the title The Good Dinosaur implying that Arlo was the only good dinosaur towards bugs, but in the final film the title is misleading since there's no bugs to protect.] For Arlo's curiosity he one day sees a very colorful believed to be bug but that later turns out to be Spot who is camouflaged in different colors. Spot appears to be a little younger in Peterson's script maybe 3-4 years old. After this Arlo breaks out on a quest to prove himself worthy to the family while the little cave boy goes along. Not much is known what happens after this since not that much information was revealed but small concepts shows that there was not going to be a tragic death in the family and there was no river that swept Arlo away, simply the movie was more looking for a message about finding confidence and be proud of being different. The Art Of The Good Dinosaur includes some interesting concept art from the original but mostly it's from Sohn's version. Maybe more secrets will be revealed when The Good Dinosaur comes out on Blu Ray and DVD. I hope this helped you out if you didn't already know it

So this is just a little simple suggestion I have for maybe the next Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer coming out in the future that it would be nice to have a new score for the trailer or they could just mix Rage Awakened with a new score. So I listened recently to DDD's soundtrack and I found myself very drawn to this score https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt4SJJ2kOAk&index=2&list=LLtVJggFXGOGRwHHTvmL7eUw and I thought for a sec that "Wow this would be a great song to use for a KH3 trailer" I know Nomura won't listen to me but I wanted to know what you think about maybe having a new score or why not have a mix of both, but the reason why I think the score fits is because if there will be a new combat trailer or world exploring it could really fit.
