Wrecking a path into our Hearts…again

The other day I watched “Ralph Breaks the Internet.” I had no expectations for it and thought it had a deep story but very funny. The story continues 6 years after the first movie. Fix-It Felix and Sergeant Calhoun are married, Vanellope and Ralph are still best friends, but now Vanellope’s game Sugar Rush is broke. So Ralph and Vanellope must travel to the Internet by a Wi-Fi router in search for the game part. Along the way, they come across a more violent racing game called Slaughter Race in which Vanellope falls in love with. Will Vanellope go back to her game or stay with Slaughter Race? Will Ralph be emotionally okay with the possibility of not seeing Vanellope every day? Well, you’ll just have to watch the movie and find out!

As a whole, I thought the movie was cute and pretty funny at parts. The princess scene that we saw in the trailers seemed out of place to me and kind of unnecessary. Warning: Because Vanellope met the princesses, that means she has to find her heart’s song which leads to her singing. However, there is a scene where Ralph and Vanellope bid on the game part and that part was one of my favorites. Overall, it was definitely a good movie. I went in with little expectations and was amused. Oh, and if by the end of the movie you were thinking they showed a scene in the trailer that wasn’t in the movie, keep watch till after the credits 😉

The Dragon Prince shines Bright

As I sat down to find something new to watch on Netflix while I was making my newest cosplay, I came across the new Netflix original series “The Dragon Prince.” Now, I know you may be thinking, “Isn’t that a children’s show?” In which case I would answer “Yes.” However, I didn’t leave my spot until I watched all nine episodes. It was that interesting to me. If your looking for a short series to kill time, use in the background, or something you want to watch but not have to think that much about, I would suggest “The Dragon Prince.” It’s cute, interesting, has a lot of action, and striking designs for 2D.
Now “The Dragon Prince” is a fantasy adventure series where humans and, elves and dragons are at war with each other. Long ago, the humans, with the help of dark magic, chased off the elves and dragons after stealing their king’s egg and murdering the king. Now, the elves and dragons are ready for revenge.

The series follows two young, human princes, Callum and Ezran, who don’t want to fight. On the other side, a young elf, Rayla, is just starting her career as an assassin but can’t bring herself to kill. Her and the two princes rally together after a mishap to find the king’s egg and return it to it’s mother.

The creators of this series were Aaron Ehasz, who was also the head writer and director of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and Justin Richmond. They decided to create “The Dragon Prince” using similar 2D styles as “Avatar” but focus on more of the scenery and detailed designs. They also reduced the frame rate to give a different feel but after the series was released, many viewers left feedback saying it was distracting or even giving them a slight headache. The feedback was taken well, and the creators interviewed saying that if there will be a season 2, they will change up the quality of the series according to the feedback.
