Man that is a big one. I remember actually getting his autograph a few years ago.
He at least lived a very long, full life and had a very rewarding career.
Why do I feel like there is now a rainy day on Sesame Street…?

I guess that means just because it's Disney doesn't guarantee a Seal of Approval?
Anyway, this weekend we are getting Playmobil: the Movie. It doesn't look like this "Lego Movie, but cheaper" film is getting any better of a reputation. Here's it's RT consensus:
Much like the toys it advertises, Playmobil: the Movie seems sadly destined to get regarded as a superficially similar yet less desirable alternative to the competition.
So I think I'll pass on this movie. After this, all we have left is Spies in Disguise.

*crowd noises in background* Rodimus: Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars as we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness! ‘Til all are… *scratch* Optimus: Hey everybody! It, It’s me! I'm back! The Prime is back! *laughs* Rodimus: A, Optimus?? But… but you died! I… I saw you die! Optimus: Yeah well, bots die, they get resurrected, it happens, get used to it. So, uh, I’m here to lead my Autobots again, so uh, *opens Rodimus’s chest exposing the Matrix of Leadership* I guess you won’t be needing this anymore. *Optimus and Rodimus now have a hand on both ends of the Matrix* Rodimus: Um, no, this is mine now! I-I’m the leader! Optimus: Oh come on, I mean, did you… did you really think that was going to be permanent, I mean, really I mean, you were just keeping it warm for me that’s all, just… just give it here… just… just just give it here… Rodimus: No! Optimus: Give it… give it here! Rodimus: But I’ve got the Touch! *shing* Optimus: And I’ve got the Axe! Why don’t you invite your little pizza cutter and we’ll see who wins! --How Transformers: the Movie should have ended, www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmp06IRi8PU

Hey guys! I'm back! I had a good time in Tennessee. So now as promised...
Now that I'm in a thankful mood, I'll say the 2010s were a memorable decade for animated cartoons.
With Donald Trump in the White House, greed was definitely good. Reteaming with the now-iconic Autobots and Ninja Turtles, we would go treasure-hunting across multiple dimensions. Having done flat-foot work outside Zootopia, put our differences aside to befriend magical ponies, played with some very animated kitties and still had time to go out for burgers, TreyVore gives his picks for: Top 11 Nostalgic Cartoons of the 2010s
#11: DuckTales (2017) #10: UniKitty! (2017) #9: T.U.F.F. Puppy (2010) #8: Transformers Prime (2010) #7: The Amazing World of Gumball (2011) #6: Adventure Time (2010) #5: Bob's Burgers (2011) #4: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) #3: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (2010) #2: Steven Universe (2013) #1: Rick & Morty (2013)
Honorable Mentions
Gravity Falls (2012) Littlest Pet Shop (2012) We Bare Bears (2014) Star vs. the Forces of Evil (2015) The Loud House (2016) Ok K.O.! Let's Be Heroes (2017)

I will heading down to Tennessee to have Thanksgiving with my brother and his wife. However, once I return, on December 1, 2019 I will be giving you all: TreyVore's Picks for Top 11 Nostalgic Cartoons of the 2010s! Already? But we still got another month! I guess I’ll go ahead and do mine now then. So without further ado, here is... Belchic’s Top 11 Best Cartoons of the 2010’s!#11 - The Amazing World of Gumball (2011) #10 - Littlest Pet Shop (2012) #9 - Wander Over Yonder (2013) #8 - T.U.F.F. Puppy (2010) #7 - DuckTales (2017) #6 - Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own (2018) #5 - The Lion Guard (2015) #4 - Corn & Peg (2019) #3 - Pound Puppies (2010) #2 - PAW Patrol (2013) #1 - My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010) Honorable Mentions:The 7D (2014) Talking Tom and Friends (2015) Milo Murphy’s Law (2016) Bluey (2018) Now, before any of you ask, yes, I did intentionally leave 101 Dalmatian Street off this list. While I know the show is a huge hit in the UK among other places, it still has yet to officially air in the US. Since it doesn’t look like it is coming to the US anytime soon, I will be leaving it exempt from the list. Hmm... not a bad list. We will see how it compares to mine when the time comes.

Okay guys I just got back from Frozen 2. Here are my initial thoughts:
This movie is a sequel to the critically-loved and billion-dollar grossing movie from 2013 that technically won Disney Feature Animation the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for the first time. It does retcon some aspects from the first movie in that we are permitted to learn more about the two heroines’ past and how they came to be.
As someone who was not completely won over by the first movie (I did enjoy it and did see it twice, first time at Tinseltown and the second back when the Keno Drive-In was still open), I was not itching for a Part 2 but was confident that this movie would still be a success. Six years does seem like a long wait for a sequel but I acknowledge that as they were waiting until they had a story worth telling. A lot of love was going into this sequel and great care was taken to ensure this was not just a cash-in.
What I will say is the movie is every bit as good as the first movie, maybe just marginally superior. The story does feel more attuned to having the characters in the drivers’ seat but they are allowed to be expanded upon. Most of the movie is Elsa and Anna discovering their parents’ past and what they can do to fix old issues. The story does not contradict established lore and has no snarls with continuity.
Another aspect is they give Kristoff a more active role and Olaf the snowman is now the funnyman but still knows when to be serious. To me that was probably a better idea than have one be the generic help and the other constantly preaching about heart.
I will say though, that it does not seem to have a true villain—only the feud between the two kingdoms was really an issue that was a cause for conflict, much like how on Ralph Breaks the Internet Ralph’s clinginess on Vanellope was later personified to become a villain. I am positive that this movie will hold up better with time though.
I will say I did enjoy my time with the movie and I will more than likely be seeing it again over Thanksgiving weekend. I will probably even say this movie may be my pick for the Best Animated Film of the year—even surpassing Toy Story 4.
The only hurdle that it may have now is when it comes to the Academy Awards, it may not win Best Animated Feature because it is a sequel and the first movie had already won the award. I do believe though that the movie does deserve its positive reception and box-office success.
Leaving the theatre I found myself likening its status to my job and how we are leading up to Seasonal Peak at Amazon: do you remember the cold reception and box-office bomb status given to Arctic Dogs and how that was the “Calm”? Well, now that we have Frozen 2, we now have the “Storm”.
Frozen 2 TreyVore rates it: A-

Another death man.
AC/DC co-founder Malcolm Young died at only 64. They say it was due to complications from dementia.

This weekend guys... Frozen 2 is coming. It has a solid score on RT and it's critical consensus is this: Frozen II can't quite recapture the showstopping feel of its predecessor, but it remains a dazzling adventure into the unknown.Also I will share the ultimatedisney.com review here: www.dvdizzy.com/frozenII-film.html
