Program Note III

What happened?

A lot, actually. From the last time we saw each other I: fell in love, got offered a new job, got married, moved to Texas, and started a new life!

My original mission of reviewing all 52 (at the time) Disney Animated Feature Films in the year 2013 has been a complete failure.

But you know what? That’s okay. I’ve received the blessing of having a new partner in my life. My wife is a wonderful woman, and we’re very happy together. I’ve learned that it’s okay to relax, and that it’s okay for things to not go as planned. (By the way, if you remember one of my articles from way back, from March of 2013: Gauchos, Anniversaries, and D23, the guy in the picture with me, Jacob? I married his oldest sister!)

What’s the future of this blog then? Well, made up person, I want to finish it. I intend to continue reviewing the remaining films on my list, including newcomers Big Hero 6 (#54), Zootopia (#55), and Moana (#56). This time, the schedule will be much more relaxed. Don’t expect a new review every week, I can’t do that. But you’ll know when a new one is coming because there will be a new This Week posted. I also intend to keep writing side articles about other Disney and animation things that are interesting to me. (I do owe you a Mary Blair article, huh? Also, Frozen (#53) got kinda big, didn’t it?)

I hope you will continue to follow my blog. As always, you can sign up for updates somewhere on here. As for my friends that kept up with me and have read my articles, and commented so far, thank you for doing so. It is my pleasure to share my love of Disney and animation with you.

Until next time!

Gauchos, Anniversaries, and D23

I’m trying out something new this week. I had the opportunity to visit a fan-exclusive event at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. This was a special event held by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. It started out with these colorful flags outside the theatre.

All pictures were taken by me on my cell phone, and thanks to my friend Jacob for coming with me!

Can you name the characters?
