^That movie is actually on my watch list.
Hmm, I have no idea when I'm going to watch any of the movies on my watch list quite frankly.

Well, I'm staying tuned for new episodes of Season 9 for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic every Saturday.

Can you contact me once you have watched it? I want to hear your opinion about it.

Has anyone ever seen The Dragon Prince? That's a Netflix show I've been wanting to check out.

Sure thing!

On YouTube, I was watching this particular YTP, which I've seen in the past, but it's one of the best and most creative ones I've seen ever. It's called Mr. Krabs' Unquenchable Blood Lust
Mr. Krabs' Unquenchable Blood Lust. Unlike most other YTP's, this one has an actual story to it, which makes it pretty special in my opinion. I will warn some viewers, this contains blood, violence, and a jump scares in the beginning as well, so be prepared for that. It has almost no profanity, but there's two instances of profanity as far as I'm concerned. There's mostly teens and adults on this site, but I'm putting these disclaimers just in case. Anyway, you'll enjoy watching this!

Hot Fuzz, another good one. I like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost combo quite a lot. Brilliant actors.

StardustSoldier · **Reply #1605 on:** July 21, 2019, 10:42:47 PM

I need to see Hot Fuzz again. I saw it once and really enjoyed it, but that was probably about 10 years ago now. For that matter, I need to watch Shaun of the Dead again.

Anagnos · **Reply #1606 on:** July 23, 2019, 06:06:36 AM

Shaun of the Dead is a very good one as well. Have you seen The World's End?

I recently discovered and started watching Kimba The White Lion (Jungle Emperor Leo), made by a person known as Osamu Tezuka. I'm very happy that I found out about this Japanese anime, which first aired in Japan on October 6, 1965. It's also interesting to note that the original manga of Kimba first came out on November of 1950. I'm enjoying the original 1965 series so far, and Kimba is just so adorable! He must be protected at all costs in my opinion. It's really sad on what happened in episode one, but no spoilers obviously!

______________________________

...So yeah, imagine finding out that The Lion King basically ripped off Kimba The White Lion, and the Disney Company actually tried to file a cease & desist against the company who released the Jungle Emperor Leo movie in 1997. While both movies were being produced in the same year of 1989, the latter would be released three years after the former.

Obviously, this topic would be old for anyone who knew about the controversy since the initial film release of The Lion King, but you'd be shocked to know that so many people (including me) didn't know about it until just recently. Disney has done a good job hiding this fact from Westerners it seems. Why wouldn't the company that produced Kimba The White Lion sue Disney? Well, Disney has the best lawyers according to them, and a small company like them would stand no chance.

If anyone is interested, this video should cover everything I already said here, plus a lot more detail and elaboration.

Fun Fact: It was the first color animated TV series made in Japan.

No, although I want to see that one as well.

I recently watched Dora & The Lost City of Gold in theaters.

Spoiler: Show

Speaking of which, has anyone seen the CollegeHumor Dora The Explorer Movie trailer? I kinda wish that version was made instead, but oh well. Here's the video.
Here's the video.

They do have a three part series called Dora the Explorer and the Destiny Medallion though, so at least something came out of that idea. Here's Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you are interested.

The last movie I saw was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. My local theatre was doing a marathon of all the Harry Potter movies. It was pretty cool.

StardustSoldier · **Reply #1614 on:** October 11, 2019, 07:30:44 PM

Next up, my theatre will be doing a marathon of all the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies. Also pretty cool!

Responding to an older comment here. @ImpracticalDino, what did you think of Kimba the White Lion? How does it compare to The Lion King? As a series, I'd imagine the story is more fleshed out in places.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #1615 on:** October 19, 2019, 01:24:07 PM

@StardustSoldier: I honestly couldn’t give you an accurate comparison right now if I wanted to. I haven’t seen The Lion King in such a long time, and I have only viewed the first thirteen episodes or so of Kimba The White Lion. And yes, you are right in your assumption that the story is more fleshed out in places. I also really like some of the lessons and elements present in the TV show that will obviously almost never be shown in today’s cartoons, so there’s that.

I am currently watching Hairspray (2007) on TV, a movie musical that I watched in 7th Grade. I love the songs in this movie, and the message it sends out to it’s audience is wonderful. It takes place in the city of Baltimore in the 60s, when segregation is was prominent. Tracy Turnblad is the main character in the movie that ultimately helps resolve that issue by the end of the movie.

Gilmore Girls, Season 5.

Jaxton got elected town selectman.

StardustSoldier · **Reply #1617 on:** April 21, 2020, 02:47:48 AM

The final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Only three episodes left to go now.

It's been good, albeit bittersweet.

Gentle Sharptooth · **Reply #1618 on:** April 21, 2020, 03:24:53 AM

Primal and The West Wing.

Flathead770 · **Reply #1619 on:** April 21, 2020, 03:50:07 PM

@StardustSoldier Man I need to get on watching that. I started watching from the beginning of the Clone Wars because my friend hadn't seen them yet (and also he has Disney+ haha). That got put to a halt though with all this quarantine stuff though.
