Transformers Prime

Hi mundane creatures - I've finally managed to get out of bed and share my daily dose of unimportant knowledge! Hooray Hooray

 

Today I'll talk about the most important thing in my life - and my future (yes, I can see into the future) - Robots, all of em 'robots!

 

More specified - the robots in the (not so new anymore) transformers prime series.

People often associate transformers with the transformers films, which are still pretty populare (one of the reasons is probably Megan Fox, who, with her feminine body pulled many male species at the cinema), but they must open their (robot) horizons - because transformers universe has so much more to offer.

Compared to the previous transformer series: G1 and Transformers Animated - the Transformers Prime series has really taken a step further animation wise. Never have I seen such detailed images, not to talk about the unique designs of the various robots ... It's like candy for the eyes! It is frankly a pleasure to watch - and it gives me a greater desire to be an animator!

 

 The story itself is perhaps not remarkably new: the Decepticons are trying to take over earth while the always courageous Autobots do their best to prevent it. But despite that the actual is series very appealing - each episode offers exciting plots and super cool fight scenes that makes you hang right on the edge of the chair.

 

Simultaneously, the various characters are just so brilliant - Their expressions, movements and feelings are expressed so beautifully on each of them, it's hard to choose a favorite. Therefore, it is so easy to be captivated by the series - when the characters are so lovable.

Because there are so many unique characters, it is also easy to identify yourself with at least one of them, which makes the experience that much richer. They may be made ​​of metal - but they have just as many feelings and dreams as people.

If you suddenly find yourself sitting alone in your room with nothing to do - you could always watch an episode of transformers prime, I promise you - you won't be dissapointed (if you are, you should be ashamed)

 

Courage the Cowardly Dog

It’s time for another Wednesday post! Hello everybody!

 I’m pretty sure that all of you know the old cartoon series: Courage the Cowardly Dog, which originally ran for four seasons from November 12, 1999 to November 22, 2002. You know – the small pink dog living with the old couple, Muriel and Eustace Bagge. The dog that is very afraid of pretty much everything, but at the same time is one of the bravest cartoon characters out there.

That Courage!

As I looked through my creepypasta app on my phone, I found a few “Courage the Cowardly Dog: Lost episodes” stories and decided to read them. Just to realize that they didn’t really seem like creepypastas. I mean, yes, they did have the elements of a creepypasta in them, but I just figured that there just isn’t that much difference between the creepypastas and the real series.

Therefore Courage the Cowardly Dog got a place on the blog today.

I watched the show when I was about 8 or 9, I’m not quite sure, but what I am sure of is, that it was one of my favorite cartoons when I was younger. But right now, at the age of 18, I really don’t understand how I dared to watch the show, and why my parents even let me watch it!

I watched a couple of episodes yesterday, and I must admit that it’s a pretty funny cartoon, which could be the reason as to why I watched it as little.

But there are just too many elements that I do NOT find fit to young children, and I will be showing you a few pictures from the series which may or may not get my point through.

This should definitely not be on a kid's show!

Ramses; I did not watch this episode when I was younger, but it is said to be one of the creepiest episodes in the series, because of this guy.

 

Can someone please tell me why this was even in the series? Hint: Let's just say she is a nice jump scare in one of the episodes.

Freaky Fred - do I even need to say more?

I mean, who doesn't think a gloomy banana is scary?

 

Well, that was all for today! If you know any cartoons which scared the shit out of you when you were younger or now, feel free to mention it in the coments below!

Until next time; Live life good!

The Reward

Hello lovely people, I hope the past days have treated you well - personally I have had a lot of stress because of an assigment overload in high school, luckily there is a cure for stress (or just temporary) and that is - ANIMATIONS FILMS!

In the last week I came across an awesome animated film called'' the reward.'' The animation are made ​​by the two danes Mikkel Mainz and Kenneth ladekjær as their graduation project at the animation school in Viborg. They both dream of Reward becoming an animated series - and work hard to achieve that goal together with a little crew.

 

 

If there is something I love about animation is it when you can feel the creatores ethusiame and big dreams shine through the animation - this is quite evident in'' The Reward'' where you can see, and at the same time feel how much work that has been put into both the characters and the universe - and its monsters.

 

 

 

The film is about two guys, Wilheim og Vito, whose paths crosses in a small town. At some point a hero comes riding on a horse and dropes af treasure map. Both Wilheaim and Vito wants the treasure map, which lead to a fight and a map torn in half. With their piece of the map they are now forced to Work together which doesn't pleases Wilheim.

Through their journey toward the treasure they experience both ups and downs, which is to strengthen their friendship that has slowly taken shape - and ends with an almost brother-like relationship

The journey lasts many years and you can see how both men age - but age doens't affect them in a negative way on the contrary - old age in the film is rather shown as a measure of masculinity and epicness that both of them as young boys were fascinated by.

 

 

One of my favorite parts of the film is when Wilheim and Vito finally reach the treasures location - and find that the treasure is far from what they expected. However both men come to realize that the treasure weren't that great of importance but rather the journey to find it. This insight shows simultaneously that both of them - besides their incredible friendship, strength, masculinity and epicness also been clarified with life and themselves - they have found the deeper meaning.

 

 

The Reward is by far one of the greatest short animation film from Denmark - and luckily many people has realised it's potential and are now supporting the crew behind it and their goal to make The Reward an animated series.

 

 Personally I really hope that The Reard gets it's own series - because I just can't get enough of the amount of epicness that film contains!

Here is a link for the short animation - enjoy 9:02 minutes of epicness!

 

 

See you Guys Next Thursday!

Shy like a Crocodile

Hello lovely people - I hope you liked the last post!

Today I have a wonderful little animated film called ''In Between'' that I want to show you, and at the same time talk about a topic that is very relevant in relation to the film: Shyness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the film we meet a young girl who is having a meeting with some kind of therapy/psychologist, where she is diagnosed with ''a crocodile'' - The crocodile symbolizes her shyness which constantly pursues her (as a crocodile).

As you follow the girl through her everyday life, you soon realize that her severe shyness actually affects her life to such an extent that she can't function probaly in society: She don't dare to pick up the phone, to present her ideas at work or to greet her cute neighboor whom she has a little crush on.

As a result to all the problems her shyness created for her, she ends up collapsing in frustration - she realized long ago that she had a problem, but she doens't know how to solve it - because how do you solve shyness?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 We get the answer to that question when the girl after her breakdown realizes that she shouldn't fight her shyness but rather embrace it (aka the crocodile) - the shyness is a part of her, so she would never be able to make it dissapear, but she can learn to accept it: she can learn to love herself (and her flaws).

At the end of the movie she cuddles her crocodile and walks out to her neighboor with two cups of coffee - she's still shy, but she has never been stronger.

Here is the video for you to enjoy:
