UPDATE:

Just a little extra music to go with my oldness: [link]

Wayne Allwine was best known as the voice of Mickey Mouse since 1977.

He had died last Monday from diabetes, and you can read the article here > [link]

Wayne has been along side Walt Disney and Jimmy MacDonald, in bringing life to this iconic character.
May he rest in peace.

Here are some of my favorite things that he worked on if it'll cheer you all up.

"Mickey's Christmas Carol"
Part 1 [link] Part 2 [link] Part 3 [link]

"Prince and the Pauper"
Part 1 [link] Part 2 [link] Part 3 [link]

"Runaway Brain" (My favorite one)

It's been a rough journey, but I can hardly wait for rest and relaxation!

Plus I get resume my personal work and studies, which my previous workload kinda held me back from.

I plan on posting a few things here and there, so stay tuned.

The story goes that Leo Wong (Amy's dad) plans to demolish huge portions of the universe for the universe's largest miniature golf course, and Leela joins an eco-feminist group to stop him. Meanwhile Fry gains an unusual mind-reading ability and joins a secret society that keep an ancient secret of the universe. And plus, Bender falls for the Donbot's wife.

In my opinion, it was no "Devil's Hands," but it was alright. The ending was pretty cool.

So for now, I'm gonna miss the show.

The film is a little weird, but I like weird. Also, the designs were great, the animation was great, and the voices, to my surprise, were actually pretty good. They actually suit the characters and don't draw any attention to the actors.

This kind of film is a breath of fresh air for me, and IMO, it's is better than "Nightmare Before Christmas."(Although I still like that film very much.)
Go see it!!

It's the end of my winter break and I head back to school tomorrow. I probably won't be posting as much material since I'll be busy once more. I'll still find time to do my personal work though, and post it here and at my blog. Boy, I can hardly wait til summer (I'm sure we all are).

1) I love art, animation, old movies, and old music.

2) My favorite artist/filmmaker as of now is Ralph Bakshi.

3) I have high-functioning autism, which is actually very close to normal brain function.

4) I don't like rap at all, or any new entertainment for that matter.

5) I know some Spanish (Colombian), but I'm not yet fluent.

6) I'm a card-carrying member of ASIFA-Hollywood

7) I have 2 dogs and 1 cat (who just died a few months ago )

8) I enjoy exercising when I can.
