I've been a fan of Daniel Chong's work since watching the premiere of his Cartoon Network series, We Bare Bears. So I was especially looking forward to his Pixar masterpiece, Hoppers.
I'm not going to spoil the film or go into detail, cause I think it's best to actually watch the film to get your own perspective on it. I just wanted to discuss what I believe is the film's strongest point. Which is its theming about communication. On the surface level, it's a story about a student who goes into the body of a beaver telling the animals to save their original habitat from a corrupt mayor. However, it's more than just that. It's not a story about "animals vs. humans", it's about humans and animals trying to communicate with each other and working together to prevent environmental harm. Creating a world where they can co-exist peacefully. Daniel Chong demonstrates that all it takes is teamwork and communication to create a better future for every living being on the planet, and how people who care about their habitat can make a big difference.
Theming aside, Hoppers is a very entertaining film and is deserving of your attention. Especially in a world full of satanic elites and violent disagreements. Please go see Hoppers, you can thank me later.
I know he already appears in a playset, but we finally have a render for R.O.B. from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. There's also a new poster for the movie that features a small appearance of a certain frog king.
I acquired the Famicom Disk System a few weeks ago.
The description mentioned that the seller replaced the belt, but the disk reading was very inconsistent. Which is why the seller was nice enough to provide me with belt replacements. The real problem was the belt they replaced was slightly twisted. I could've fixed their mistake by untwisting the belt, but I still replaced it anyways. I also tried to get rid of any gunk inside the system, so now it ejects disks much smoothly.
My three starter games I got are The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. (with SMB2 on the other side), and Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic. I beat Zelda for the first time, and it was surprisingly a lot of fun getting certain items early and looking at maps. As for Super Mario Bros. 2, the previous owner of that game had two stars. So I got another star after beating it. As for Doki Doki Panic, my copy already had unfinished progress. So I plan on finishing the game someday.
There are definitely a few FDS games I'd love to collect (Metroid, Kid Icarus, Murasame Castle, Castlevania), but I'm pretty happy with the three (technically four) games I have. If you plan on buying Disk System games, make sure they've been tested since the disks are rewritable.
The Purple Pieman's original design from the Muller-Rosen Strawberry Shortcake specials did a way better job emphasizing his purple persona. I'll never understand why American Greetings thought he looked better in a blue t-shirt and white apron.

I was re-watching the KND episode, Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E. Had no idea the Purple Pieman had a French cousin.
