Fictional Couples

There are just some couples that I see in movies and TV which I think are just great.
These couples just have great chemistry, their personalities blend perfectly, or else they just add something to each other or bring out something with the other which just makes them work.
A lot people find couples annoying but I love them and here are my top 5

5

Ross and Rachel

Who could not pick Ross and Rachel? These two just work. They have great chemistry, they never get annoying, they are a dynamic match who have heartwarming moments, comedy and banter that's so witty it's amazing. These two are just great, and who else are one another perfect for than the other? So as number 5, Ross and Rachel.

4

Tulio and Chel

Now this couple is sexy. Granted the movie Road to Elderado was more of a bromance, these two just had great chemistry. They both sly, witty clever and have an air of confidence. Plus Chel knows what she wants and gets the usually smart thinking Tulio to land on his face with how she can get him to cater to her every whim. These two, so much more sexier than Mr and Mrs Smith. These two, if you haven't seen their chemistry, WATCH THE FILM!

Ned and Mosby 

When I was a kid, these two were the shit! They were both as well developed as the other, both independent people and both hilarious! They had great chemistry and I think it also helped that they were dating in real life to get across the good relationship they had. The downside is is that you don't get to see them as a couple to the very end but boy is it worth the wait. The build up pays off and this time I actually wasn't annoyed that it took three seasons for the couple to be together.

Gnomeo and Juliet

These two, perfect couple. They just balance each other so well. They both confident individuals and really stand out as the alpha couple. They both have quick wit, kind personality and bring the very essence forward of what Romeo and Juliet were about. So for a kid's movie about knomes, these two are quite well rounded.

Aladdin and Jasmine

This is the earliest age I was introduced to romance and it was between Aladdin and Jasmine. These two are just perfect for each other. They're both kind, loyal, smart and honest and shows what it should be like in a relationship. They bring out the bets in each other and compliment each other. Aladdin and Jasmine are in my opinion a match made in heaven, soul mates and I have not seen a couple since than that has come close to this perfect match.

And that's my top 5 couples, granted I like a lot more couples than this but these are the five that always call to mind when I think of the topic.

So for now,

Watch what others won't

The Cutest of Characters

I've come across my range of cute characters of the years, but for a lot of the time it's the characters that don't fall under the conventionally cute that get high up on my list.
So here's my top five cutest characters. (FYI: These are mostly going to be kids)

5

Chucky

There's just something about this whiny kids that gets to me, he's a scaredy cat, he's a wimp yet he is just so adorable that I can't help but say "DAWWW!"

There's just something about his character design that gets to me, I don't know what it is exactly... maybe the glasses, maybe the untied shoes, maybe the raggy red hair or the buck teeth, but when it all comes together with the cute little voice he becomes a dote, so without further a due we get Chucky.

4

Mabel 

Now this kid, this kid is unbeliveably cute. With her "Wah Wah!" catch phrase, her quirky personality down to her pink cheeks and curly bubbly hair style, she is the Epiphany of cute. I think the thing that makes her the most cute is her personality to boot, and for some reason there's just something cute about those braces... so for adorable character number 4, we have Mabel Pines

3

Gir 

Now some may argue that this guy should be 1st and I would agree, but for personally reasons he's 3. Now why is he so cute? Could it be his psychotic nature, he's unbelievable stupidity, he's adorable character design, or could it be that he shouts every word, he's never ending hunger, how he doesn't really have any grasp of what is going on... well it is all of that! Gir is adorable, he is crazy, but there's just something about his personality and big blue eyes that makes my heart go "Awww!"

So I present to you, Gir.

2

Wakko

"Isn't he CUTE!"

Is what everyone should be shouting at him instead at his sister. Now Wakko, HE IS CUTE! The animators gave him so many things that he just had stick out for me. To name:

• His tongue is always sticking out
• His hat
• His "Ringo Star" Accent
• His hunger
• His Mallet
• Even how he has barely any lines most the time.

He is just cute and that's all we need. Just watch any episode of him or this one 

And Finally for Number 1 we have

1

Daggett

Oh yes, my own personal choice.

Now this guy may not look the cutest. BUT HE IS! And not just the typical cute but the cute the comes from inside, the personality.

Maybe it's his voice maybe it's his whoobie status, but somewhere between feeling sorry for him and how he honestly doesn't care half the time to how he deserves what happens to him. Dag comes between the line of being cute, to being unlikable to being pathetic to being annoying. But when he is in the cute state, HE IS ADORABLE!

Dag is cute, unique and I haven't seen a character quite diverse as him in a long time.

May you live on on the net, Dag, and keep being yourself.

And that's my top 5 cutest characters, they may not be the typical pick but they are mine and I hope you enjoyed,

Until next time,

Watch what others don't

Rough Animations

Animation is a tricky game... and one I like to play

The Critic

Everyone's a critic,
That doesn't mean everyone's a good critic.
I myself am a critic, that's why I have this blog but what astounds me now is how people when they are giving their opinion on someone else's work... it's usually a bad one?
I mean, people! There is a difference between criticism and constructive criticism... but you just don't understand!
Take me for an instance.
If someone asks my opinion on something I'll immediately look for the first thing I liked (even if most of it wasn't great) and I'd point out everything I like about something before I even say "But if I were you, I would just add this, or maybe try something different here"
I know I may be complaining but the thing is I can take criticism, as long as its constructive. But if you only tell me what I'm doing wrong instead of what I'm doing right I am going to feel very disillusioned. So if you are taking criticism from someone else just ask, "Okay... but what did I do right?"
Always see what you did right so you can work on that and what you did wrong, you can try to change to get that right too the next time.
Criticism, it's hard to hear, but as long as the person tries to add a positive, I'm willing to accept.

Rugrats Movie

You get a lot of kids films, so many that only the ones like the Lion King or Shrek are remembered.
But an animated film to first break the mode is this one, the first non disney film to crack the box office was the Rugrats Movie in 1998.

This film, it really affected me when I was young... I rented it so many times as a kid and when I saw it a year ago in a DVD shop I had to get it.
This would probably have to be one of the darkest kid films I have ever seen, (And I'm including Coraline in that description)
Everything about this film is dark. In the most innocent of ways.
Five babies in the wilderness with a wolf trying to kill them.
No one seems to remember that fact.
Tommy actually breaks and was going to sacrifice Dil.
No one seems to remember that bit.
This movie... everything about this movie so outreaches what the show was about in so many levels.
The premise was simple, what they did with it was amazing.

This movie was made for 3 year olds, but it has the depth of any adult film. It shows children real life things, not fantasies, and it is always films like this that get me.

But I ask you Hollywood, why is it that we always have to wait years apart for films like this and Coraline? Why are you afraid to go to these dark places that kids need to see.

This movie shows life through the eyes of babies, and how things we don't think are important as adults were so much more important as children.

I may be a baby watching these kids films, for only watching  these kid films and refusing to grow up to this reality where we are meant to care more about money and sex than this.

But if we have kids films like this, all I ask is, why should I?

Perfectionist

Hey... I've been writing this blog for two years now and I'm starting to see... I'm a perfectionist.
I don't know why but whenever I have a favourite film it's always the ones that are most flawed in my opinion  but which I love to watch, just to pick out scenes I would change.

The reason why I don't read a lot is because I am a perfectionist and whenever I read something I always look for ways to improve it, even my own stories that I read to this day.
I've come over time to accept this flaw... I'll always be a perfectionist but I can still enjoy my movies because just like me, some of their scenes are flawed and they'll never be perfect, just like I'll never be and that in a way is what makes them perfect.
Their flaws.
These are the movies I can watch the most because they are flawed to a considerable degree and that's why I love them so much.
In Kiki's Delivery Service there is no action and interactions between people that don't seem real.
In Stand By Me there is absolutely no plot and yet it still draws me in.
And in Treasure Planet the whole Planet scene totally pisses me off but I still watch these films because I know they are greatly flawed and that's why I love them.
And that's why I love this new film in my collection Paranorman because it is so flawed in the middle with the zombies that I have to love it.
I have to love things that are flawed because I am so completely flawed that if they were perfect I couldn't love them.
I love the film Back to the Future 3 and Jurassic Park but they are so perfect in their viewing that they almost take me out of the film because I am not looking for what is wrong.
And that is why these films are my favourites because they are flawed in the most perfect way and that makes them great.
Accepting your imperfect flaw and still being spectacular to me is all that matters.
Thank you.

Consistency is key

Now you know a show has consistency when you don't notice any difference between episodes but for a show that's so popular now, My Little Pony has one problem. No consistency in their characters.

I say this with the highest respect. I think the show's writers all have a different concept of what they want the characters to be like and that pisses me off.

A show has to have an instruction to write these characters a certain way each time and all the writers are doing half the time is taking the main element of the personality and flanderizing it. Some episodes are good, I'll give it that, but other episodes that characters are so off it's not even funny and I've only ever noticed this with Friendship Is Magic. I think the writers have to have a discussion about the characters and how each one will treat them, instead of just taking the basics and doing whatever the hell they want.
You hear me writers! Get consistent with your characters because I don't know how much more I can take!

A good example of consistent characters in a kid show would be Gravity Falls. New but still making headway.
