My thoughts on Zootopia (No Spoilers)
Posted 9 years agoLike many individuals in this wonderful fandom, I have seen the new Disney film Zootopia. Also like many individuals in this wonderful fandom, I absolutely loved the film.
Now there are many reasons why I like this film. The first reason is the plot. I haven't seen a plot so original in a movie in such a long time. There is plenty of things happening in the story to keep your attention, and there are moments during the film where you feel like you are getting close to the end, only for the plot to add another turn. At no point while watching this film did I lose interest in it. There is enough going on in this film that it makes you feel engaged and never at any point does the plot feel like it's being dragged out to fill time. The film is able to keep your interest without really trying.
Another reason the film works is that it deals with real world issues like prejudice and how society appears to box people in based on who they are and where they come from. This is apparent right from the beginning of the movie with the main protagonist, Judy Hopps. When she first joins the Zootopia police force (which is full of larger animals such as rhinos, elephants and wolves), she is relegated to a position which doesn't showcase her full talents as a police officer. There is also a moment during the film in which deuteragonist Nick Wilde tells Judy of a moment he faced prejudice in his youth which led to him acting the way we see him act. The themes are present in the film from beginning to end, and are coming along at just the right time when a certain presidential hopeful is spewing hate towards certain groups of people.
The visuals in this film are also noteworthy. When we first see Zootopia, we are treated to a glimpse of it's many different neighborhoods that make up the city. There's Sahara Square, which is a large desert community inhabited largely by creatures who can stand the heat (like camels). Tundratown, which is always frozen. The Rainforest District, which is filled with treehouses and moisture is abundant. Little Rodentia, which is primarily inhabited by mice, shrews, and moles, and where part of a police chase takes place in a clever and unique way. Finally, there's Savannah Central, the main business hub of Zootopia where every animal from every district gathers to go about their daily lives.
The designed of the characters are also put into perspective. In every past Disney film or cartoon that featured animals (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, even Disney's 1973 film, Robin Hood), the animals are all drawn in a way so as to appear taller or shorter (in most cases the former) than they actually are. You do not see that with this film. All the animals shown in this film are drawn in proportion as to how we would normally see them. You won't see a mouse who is bigger than a fox in this film.
So before I sign off I will finish my review by saying, and I quote, "I Loved this movie! Loved, loved, loved, loved, loved this movie! Loved it! Loved every animal-inhabiting, fur-flying moment of it! Loved the message it sends to kids (and adults) that we should accept people based on their capabilities and not who they are or where they came from! Loved how the plot keeps you engaged enough to find out what happens next. And most important of all, I loved it enough to want to go see it again!"

AC Room Space
Posted 9 years agoOK, so I am currently looking for room space for Anthrocon. Does anyone want to room with me, or know anyone who has room to spare or is looking for room space?
Quick rundown of room habits:
* Relatively clean (By which I mean I don't completely unpack my suitcase
* OK with sleeping on the floor
* Also OK with any hotel
* I tend to bring a small suitcase of munchies with me to the con, so you are more than welcome to have whatever I bring, just make sure you ask me. :)
Thanks in advance!

AC videos

They're the only one I have right now, but more videos of more cons will be added when I attend them. Meantime, Enjoy!

Fur the More and Anthrocon
Posted 10 years agoSo, I just got my vacation schedule from my new job today and I have some very good news for all my furiends out there: The weekends on which Fur the More and Anthrocon fall on are available for me, so it looks like I'll be able to go to those! YAY!!!
Well, now that that has been said, anyone here need a roommate for these cons? :)

Happy New Year!!
Posted 11 years agoWell, as 2014 draws to a close tonight, I look back and reflect on the things that have happened to me over the past year. Over the course of this year, I've seen my share of good times (getting my first full-time job in October and attending my first furry con (Fur the More) in March) and bad (My grandmother's passing and some family drama over wanting to attend said con (both in March)). And forged even deeper relationships with the people I've known from last year and met some new people as well.
I also want to say that this year was a particularly good one for a friend of mine. When 2014 started, he was going through a pretty rough patch in his life. I'm happy to say that one year later his life has drastically changed for the better and I couldn't be happier for him.
So as I look forward toward 2015, I would just like to say to all of you that I wish nothing but the best for everyone in the coming year.
Enjoy the festivities everyone as we all countdown to 2015. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

April Fool's Day
Posted 11 years agoSo yeah, I was going to plan something for my watchers on this April Fool's Day, but due to me being a little unsatisfied with an April Fool's themed email I sent to one of my friends, decided to scrap the idea this year. Maybe next year inspiration will hit me.
That being said, hope you guys didn't get fooled too much today. ;)
