Hey guys! How's it going? I'm doing pretty well. I'm on Day 6 of my antibiotics and things are slowly starting to get back to being what I like to call "pandemic normal", as in the status quo that was in place for me before I ended up in the hospital last weekend. Right now I wanted to come on and talk to you because I have an announcement to make.
Thanks to YouTube and Vincent Conroy, the webmaster for the Grundo Gazette, a Teddy Ruxpin fan site, I've decided to begin a series of reviews on specific series of VHS releases. There are five series I'm going to tackle. They are: The World of Teddy Ruxpin, Disney Sing-Along Songs, Barney & The Backyard Gang, Walt Disney Classics, and Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. The Teddy Ruxpin tapes are just the episodes of The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin TV series. Vincent provided me with digitized copies of the series, so I can watch the tapes I had as a kid and watch the ones I didn't have for the first time. So thanks definitely goes out to him for providing me with those.
YouTube has the Disney Sing-Along Songs and Barney & The Backyard Gang tapes as well as the openings for all of the movies in both the Walt Disney Classics line and the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection so that's where I'll be watching them.
For the Walt Disney Classics and Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection I'm going to watch the openings for the tapes I don't have and and don't have the movie on any other format and the full tapes for the ones I do. However several movies overlap between the two lines so for the ones I have the VHS tapes for, I'll watch those regardless of which line they're in and review that movie when I get to that point in the line. If I don't have that movie on VHS I'll review the movie and include the full movie review with the earliest release in that line. For example, for Robin Hood, I only have it on Blu-ray, so I'll review the movie when I talk about the first VHS release it had in the Walt Disney Classics line, which happens to be the first movie released in that line, so Robin Hood will be my first Disney movie review on the new blog.
I'll also be starting with the series that started getting released first. As the Walt Disney Classics line began coming out in 1984, that's the series I'll be starting with and then I'll finish with the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection sometime next year as this will be a weekly series, rather than a daily one. This series is going to be in addition to my regular movie reviews. I just figured it was a good way to slide the kids stuff in there without long breaks in between them or without just doing them without any other movie review around it. So that will be starting next week.
This week I'll be playing catch up and reviewing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #34 and The Rocketeer. Both reviews were supposed to be up over the Easter weekend but as you know, I ended up in the hospital and things just kind of went south from there. So they'll be going up this week instead. I think that's all I wanted to tell you about this evening. Have a great week and I will be back later in the week with my review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #34. Later.
