I make reviews about talking animal movies lmao. Animation too. I love gushing over high levels of artistry such as singing, as I love to sing! Success to me is listening to what your heart says. Youtube: www.youtube.com/youralphak9s

I'm beyond okay with this over Wild Robot tbh. It was so unique and it's story telling was ambitiously strong and well executed. Even if it didn't win, it's just an amazing film I haven't personally experienced before and left a lasting impression

Yep, I’m fine with this

Still waiting to be impressed by a bbno$ song lmao.

Success is a person who ain't had shit in their life, turning down big profit to pursue their passion and morality. 80% of the world might have more money and numerics than me. But not many will ever be as successful as me. Success is being able to communicate and pass down love, not wealth.

Cats don't dance is such a good movie and great critique of the American dream people used to (and sadly still do) believe youtu.be/h-z0TbVvUGA

Can we actually talk about how creative people create media, and it's someone's immediate response to not recommend said media... but STEAL and PROFIT from said creation by explaining every single little thing about it? Do yall split that money with the creator or feel entitled to the profit LMAOOO

A little crazy how most sponsors on YouTube videos are just glorified scams. I ain't saying all, but there's a good portion of very sketchy products that YouTubers get a pass to promote to their audience because... idk tbh. Their morality is never questioned after either. Its just simply ignored lol

THE CHIKORITA HATE IS SO FORCED. HOP OFF MY GIRL LMAOO. I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN LITERAL DECADES LET ME HAVE THISSSSSSS

Ngl I very much dislike the common critique of "X movie is just like Y movie, but worst. Go watch X instead." It's such a empty statement that doesn't describe the person's grievances with said media. I believe reviewing media should be more intimate and focus on what it is, not what it's not imo.

Russian Roulette by Porter Robinson is genuinely amazing and relatable. It's length is such a benefit which is hard to pull off in music. The analogy of suicidal tendencies with Russian roulette is executed so flawlessly and gives the brief pauses and simmer moments in the instrumental such impact!

My biggest hope is years and years from now when I'm dead or irrelevant, that someone accidentally stumbles upon my creations and understands why the world is so beautiful. The beauty in the pain, beauty in the love, beauty in the bad, beauty in the good.

We need to get the idea of things "flopping" out of our heads. People are putting unrealistic expectations for EVERYTHING they create. You're not a failure because you didn't reach the highs of another person. You're a failure because you forgot who the fuck you are. Numbers aren't you.

My wife just told me she'd be poor with me and that's honestly what I need. Call it stupidity sure, but I just don't need that much money to feel fulfilled. I'm unwillingly addicted to struggle. I wanna know the people around me care less about 1 mill, and more about helping the world heal.

Ice Age Collision course review! This movie would be so good without every other character except scrat imma be so real youtu.be/0z3WFQ355T4

Saw a cute French show about dogs that aired recently and it's artstyle is absolutely AMAZING! Plot im not a big fan of, but I just had to talk about it~ youtu.be/5ccHYYhYGHc

"No show is perfect" is deadass just as toxic as harshly ignoring a shows highlights imo. It's not inherently bad, but when it's used to absolve the show from ANY/MOST criticism it's literally just toxic positivity lmao. Allowing the positives and negatives is healthy, especially for discussion.

"Get your bag" is just not a statement I agree with anymore. I feel it's reinforcing the idea that respect, integrity, human decency is irrelevant or should be swayed to benefit your goals of success and ultimately money. I don't wanna play the system. I wanna change it.

My Balto 3 review is out now. It was painful to watch this, but very fun to rant about it tbh youtu.be/KVD_dMw6iFg

Tbh I stand by Mulan being a good basis to write a female character. She's so complex and nuanced from the start and DOESN'T lose who she is when introduced to a love interest. If your female character solely exists as a plot device or doesn't exist without a male counterpart please reevaluate them.

Ngl I'm actually happy I finally got rewarded for my efforts. I've always wanted to make more challenging conversations about media I like or dislike as I feel that's missing from YouTube now. Appealing to everyone isn't thought provoking and I strongly believe critical thinking is true appreciation

How to navigate youtube 2025: - if they start the video with a question within the first 2 minutes leave. - if the title has the same title you've seen millions of times before like "The situation is crazy" or it has a massive quantity of something in it don't touch it. Safe travels.

Being black is a gift God bestowed upon me and I just can't let him down for real.

This isn't even a joke. Small youtubers are literally leading the content game right now. They truly have so much valuable and ENGAGING things to say on movie and media discussion it's so fun. I'm learning that good discussion is no longer in the public eye.

Omfg I forgot to say this, but the expressiveness and emotion of the wolves in Wolf Walkers is SOOO GOOD!!! It reminds me sooo heavily of old school Disney where they studied animals and translated human emotions onto them which I adore so much~💕💕💕

Wolf walkers review! This movie is absolutely gorgeous and I love learning and sharing amazing films from different countries~💕 youtu.be/C4m4thl0Sas

As long as I'm still alive I promise to make sure genuine REAL art stays alive. I have so much hate in my heart for this extremely fake AI shit. It's people begging for attention who haven't actually went through the process to deserve such attention. It makes me so angry. Want validation? Get a dog

People who fake singing live or use autotune/pitch correction on their vocals tryna play it off like they're actually singing are so pathetic omfg. I genuinely have 0 respect for them. It's basically like people using AI art and then being like "Omg I made this guys!" Disrespectful and unlikeable.

Talking about a beautiful Indie series called Day Job. A very fun animated Mockumentary oml youtu.be/GoWq03kb75k

Ngl it'd be a little funny if this year is my breakout year. I'd honestly just use my platform to help push smaller creative passions I see and personally see a lot of potential in while also make some original songs or singing covers. Music is so important to me and I wanna inspire

What I've come to learn from growing up is that your mind and your body are a relationship you need to keep healthy. You are not in full control of mind and sometimes you gotta let it do it's own thing. Your brain is a coworker, not a close friend.

I want to do more volunteer work. Any suggestions? The Internet makes me depressed and I wanna channel it into something to help communities

Brendon Urie gotta be one of favorite vocalist, but God damn he needed someone on his ass to tell him to shut the fuck up with the falsetto LMAO. Vocal talent is great when used appropriately, and doesn't matter how good something is if it's too much, it's too much.

Dog Man review: youtu.be/r6wNClGCgu8

When I was Your Man by Bruno Mars is genuinely such a generationally good ballad. I love the self reflection throughout the track and the very rare acceptance that the person you love is with someone else and I hope they're doing what I couldn't. And the cherry on top of GOOD emotional singing is 💕💕

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

At some point you gotta forget what a YouTuber from the early 2010s said about a video game and just try the game out for yourself and see what you think.

"We won't talk about that because it's an entirely different video" has got to be the laziest way to say you have no way to explain or detail your take or perspective. Leaving things out because they're redundant to the main thesis is fine, but NOT if they heavily aid or conflict with your takes.

Oh yeah, flow review! Absolutely adored this cute little cat film and it's so surrounded in good mystery and subtly that I just HAD to talk about it youtu.be/msciQhAc6GU

Just saw Dogman and it's honestly such a fun family film. The animation is so nice and refreshing, and seeing another form of the 3d and graphic novel blend of animation was super enjoyable!

Just heard Chappell Roan's story about being dropped from her label after dropping Pink Pony Club and that just changed the song for me entirely and made me love the song. I didn't like the song before, but hearing her songs with the journey she's been through makes them really pop off

As I've grown into reviewing media one thing I've always wanted to do was make my media coverage diverse and not solely focus on the Zeit-Geist. The music critics I watch always talk about Indie music that's lesser known and I'd love to try and bring that to the animation space youtu.be/fXgupu__26g

Imma be so real, there's just no way you have an hour's worth of REAL substance worth listening to for a song. A DISNEY SONG NO LESS. I get if it's an album absolutely there's so much to talk about depending on it's content, but a single song?????????

I don't think half of the animation reviewers would put their name down on a list of people to trust tbh. There's a lot of creators I question if they even feel proud of their content or messages they send. Money can't come with you in the grave man.

The people actually criticizing helluva boss genuinely are beyond fine, but the ones who are using negativity disguised as criticisms of the show to gain a following SOLELY based off of hating the show are Hella weird. Yall don't talk about shows or media in good faith, yall just want attention.

#helluvaboss season 2 rant. This gotta be the most obnoxiously frustrating show to care about. youtu.be/s09ZlJGMR_s

Ngl kittypet might be the most goated slur ever created LMFAO

Kinda wanna give my final thoughts on helluva boss before I continue with normal stuff. I think it's only fair since I did give it an honest 2 year try

Nothing has scared me so hard then the Cali fires. I have friends that are somewhat close to that area and the fires seemed so devastating. My whole heart goes out to those affected and I hate how that sadly doesn't mean much, but it's all I have. Starting over from nothing is painful...
