Yep Im very well aware that it's not easy to create something new or original these days and it hasn't been in the past either, but you have to agree that it's funny that so many animated movies this year is focusing on anthropomorphic animals instead of some kind of space, fantasy or human theme or you know have a mix of everything. Laika is thinking out of the box this year with Kubo And The Two Strings and Disney is taking off to the pacific ocean with Moana, then there's also The Little Prince. The rest however is focusing on anthropomorphic animals. Animation fans and students are just letting our voice heard cause after that trailer was released for Sing people just thought it was a bad move to release it so early and close to Zootopia. And if you noticed that snail reference I pointed out it came from a very well know animation school and that snail model looked almost identical to their model. Im just saying cause I really care for those people who worked on that short film they put a lot of hard work into making it. I think it would have been better if they would have premiered the Sing trailer for the release of their Secret Life Of Pets premiere. Another note that I know, mostly audience hate when a movie is predictable which have been a weakness for many animated movies lately. The Secret Life Of Pets second trailer revealed way to much about it's plot so therefore people say it's predicable cause now they know that the characters are lost, and they're trying to get back home and yadi yadai yada it's very predictable. People like when they haft to solve a mystery on their own not being reminded how everything is going to turn out. And yes a story doesn't haft to be original but it needs to be fresh and creative in a way to keep the interest. Yes concepts have been done before but you can always try to evolve the concepts with thinking outside of the box.

That's what's so awful to work in animation you might work with what you like but you're being very badly treated. Ive heard the same from Warner Bros, Not to mention that Dreamworks had done several layoffs on artists just because their movie didn't earn enough money at the box office. At least John Lasseter let's his workers create what they want like Big Hero 6 and Zootopia. Ive seen John Lasseter's true colors outside from the camera and he seems to be a rather caring man of course he's not perfect but he seems to at least care for his workers.

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.

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
