I have another death to report guys.

Dave Creek, an artist who was probably best known for being the lead character designer for Bob's Burgers, died after a skydiving accident. He was only 42.

He did start by saying that his hopes for 2020 were the most outdated claim on YouTube, and I can testify that with my initial thoughts on Arctic Dogs. So now, I guess that now that we are in 2021, it's time for my first thoughts on the upcoming animated films of 2021:

Connected - Not sure.
Raya and the Last Dragon - Still stoked!
Bob's Burgers: the Movie - I still like!
Rumble - Junk.
Spirit Riding Free - Vindication was kind!
Vivo - Not trusting this.
Luca - Pixar is back!
Minions: The Rise of Gru - Hopefully it's good.
PAW Patrol: The Movie - Kiddie matinee? Pass.
Hotel Transylvania 4 - Ugh, no more!
The Boss Baby: Family Business - More of this crap!?
Addams Family 2 - Not another one!
Encanto - Disney is back!
Sing 2 - Sure, why not?

How's that, Belchic?

I see that you’re expressions are mostly similar to mine. Only you’re being more positive about Raya and Minions and more negative towards Paw Patrol. I also noticed you added Bob’s Burgers kinda like how I added MLP2. Nice job.

I'm going to take a moment to explain myself about my first thoughts:

Connected - I did see a few advertisements about this movie and it seems a little cliche. I'm not going to totally rule it out, but... we'll see.

Raya and the Last Dragon - I was hoping to see this movie back in 2020 but since the pandemic hit, that wasn't possible. I still want to see this movie though.

Bob's Burgers: the Movie - As a fan of mature cartoons in general, yes I want to see this movie.

Rumble - This movie looks awful. Wrestling movies aren't really known for heart, and the monster angle isn't enough to win me over so I'll probably pass on this.

Spirit Riding Free - I haven't even seen the original movie from 2002 but I guess it had been vindicated and it saw a TV series. I'm undecided on this one.

Vivo - The details on this are a bit sketchy. I first thought it was about a monkey but instead it's about a Kinkajou that travels from Cuba to Miami to realize his dreams for adventure and music. At best it's probably going to be of the same quality as Rio and at worst it's going to suck.

Luca - Being that it's a Pixar movie, yes.

Minions: The Rise of Gru - As a fan of Despicable Me/Minions I am looking forward to this being yet another hold over from the 2020 pandemic. Hopefully the extra year to work on it will work to its advantage.

PAW Patrol: The Movie - I am familiar with the show but not too keen on pre-K shows. If nothing else my idea of fun is not sitting in a theater room full of crying/screaming kids (hence the "kiddie matinee" label). A DTV release would probably be more ideal.

Hotel Transylvania 4 - Not a fan of this series so no. I know it does have its fans but I never liked the Hotel Transylvania series very much. A fourth installment is just overkill.

The Boss Baby: Family Business - The Boss Baby was not even all that good. A definite no for me.

Addams Family 2 - I felt ripped off from the first Addams Family, being that it was such a snore. Not bothering with it.

Encanto - A Disney movie, and I say yes.

Sing 2 - The first movie was good, so I say this movie will probably work.

Those are my detailed thoughts. What do you think Belchic?

#5 - The Croods: A New Age
#4 - The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run

Top 5 Best:
#5 - Onward
#4 - The Willoughbys
#3 - Shaun the Sheep: Farmeggedon
#2 - Wolfwalkers
#1 - Soul

Now, here are his thoughts on what is (hopefully) to come in 2021:

Connected - This could be fun...if they ever have a plan to release it.
Raya and the Last Dragon - I was hyped when this was scheduled for 2020, and I'm still hyped now!
Rumble - This is gonna suuuuuuuuuck!
Spirit Riding Free - I don't know about the show, but I know about the 2002 movie. Does that count?
Vivo - Give me more Lin Manuel Miranda music!
Luca - Oh, this is gonna make me cry, will it?
Minions: The Rise of Gru - I guess, but I'm just hoping this doesn't get franchise fatigue.
PAW Patrol: The Movie - Oh, boy! We're really doing this, aren't we?
Hotel Transylvania 4 - Oh no. Not again.
Boss Baby 2 - Oh no! Not again!
Addams Family 2 - OH NO! NOT AGAIN!
Encanto - GIVE ME MORE LIN MANUEL MIRANDA MUSIC!
Sing 2 - OH NO!!!...Actually, I kinda like the first, so maybe this will be harmless.

That being said, here is my updated list with my thoughts on the films:

Connected - Not sure about this one.
Raya and the Last Dragon - I guess, but let’s hope it doesn’t slip into overrated territory.
Rumble - Pixar should sue!
Spirit Riding Free - Wait...This is still a thing?
Vivo - This is gonna suck! I can feel it!
Luca - THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING! I CAN FEEL IT!
Minions: The Rise of Gru - Why, Illumination? Why???
PAW Patrol: The Movie - READY FOR ACTION, RYDER, SIR!
My Little Pony 2 - Farewell, G4.
Hotel Transylvania 4 - Why, Sony? Why???
Boss Baby 2 - Do they really find this profitable?
Addams Family 2 - You just had to go there, didn't you?!
Encanto - I'm sensing a trend here.
Sing 2 - Another one of these? Eh, why not?

What do you say to that, Trey_Vore?

Arctic Friends Dec 15, 2020 19:08:50 GMT -5

Post by Trey_Vore on Dec 15, 2020 19:08:50 GMT -5

Hey guys. I thought I would let you know that I decided to go ahead and rent the first episode of Puffins.

I will start by saying that it follows the same theme as Arctic Friends in that it has a 4 cartoons that run for 5 minutes each episode and it does not have any spoken dialogue.

This series features four Puffins who are supposed to be apparently friendly. They all have names in that they are Tic and Tac (both male) and Didi and Pie (both female). Being that I only saw one collection I can't elaborate on their supposed personalities. The big selling point behind this show though is the fact that they have Johnny Depp voicing Johnny Puff, channeling his Captain Jack Sparrow character into a Puffin. Again, he doesn't talk just chirps.

What's probably the biggest issue I take with this though, is the fact that unlike Arctic Friends, where the connections to the original movie feels strong, this series' ties to the movie feel a lot more... tenuous. A large part of that is because I had no doubts about Arctic Friends' ties to the movie, this one feels like it's just loosely based on it. I know everyone loves the Despicable Me Minions and people want to do their own versions of them, but the Puffins don't have the... compelling nature of character to merit.

As I said before, this series does have Leopold and Bertha, and Otto Von Walrus appears in this show as well, but they're not even really the focus. The only other real ties to the movie are nods towards the Arctic Blast Delivery Service but that's really about it.

I did like what I did see but while I will continue to get all the Arctic Friends episodes, this series feels more like a 'must rent'. I guess maybe by doing this maybe I will have a product that I won't feel compelled to get every episode for and thereby I won't be seeing fatigue? Does that make sense?

I welcome your thoughts.
