Michael's blogs are on an 8-month and 21-day hiatus

Michael Igafo-Te'o here:
My blog are currently on an 8-month and 21-day hiatus now due to "Bluth season" which meant that I have to really focus on studying the nuts and bolts of 2D traditional hand-drawn (pencil and paper) animation by taking online classes via Don Bluth University! This blog will be reconnected during September 2019.


In other news...:
Despite that Cartoon Colour had already went out of business in Spring 2018, after months of finding a backup alternative to Cel-Vinyl, I finally found a whole new Cel-Vinyl alternative, made by the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster, California, USA called "Toon Tones" vinyl acrylic animation paint and I already bought my first two "Toon Tones" paint colors (chartreuse and magenta) on October 2018 and they're still at my home studio (Green Mouse Animation Studios) from October 2018 to today!



However, with Cartoon Colour currently dead as of Spring 2018, the only traditional hand-drawn (pencil and paper) supplies you can buy online nowadays are...:

• Lightfoot Animation LTD. of Temecula, California, USA (traditional animation supplies such as light-boxes, plexiglas animation discs, pegbars, storyboard sketch pads, X-sheets, animation paper, animation cels, field guides, pencils erasers, pencil sharpeners, pre-punched animation header strips, peg hole reinforcements, how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation and line-tester rostrum cameras, etc. and cartooning/art supplies such as sketch pads, etc.)
• Chromacolour UK of England (traditional animation supplies such as light-boxes, pro-grade aluminum/plexiglas/chrome metal animation discs, plexiglas animation discs, pegbars, X-sheets, animation paper, animation cels, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, field guides, animation paper punches, cel paint and line-tester rostrum cameras and how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation alongside stop-motion animation supplies such as Newplast plasticine, etc. along side art supplies such as sketch pads, artists' (non-animation) acrylic paint, paintbrushes, etc.)
• Amazon (Blackwing pencils, Col-Erase erasable color pencils, kneaded erasers, 11" x 17" manila folders, animation paper, acme pegbars and how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation)

I'll be back on my blogging during September 2019!

 Hiya, fellers! I've got good news!!


I'm finally enrolled to attend a full-year of 2D traditional hand-drawn (pencil and paper) animation classes online at Don Bluth University starting from September 19th, 2018 through August 2018 and my mom and I have already got the 2D hand-drawn animation supplies needed for the full-year online course!

However, my 3-minute hand-drawn animated student film will feature Mike Patterson and his redheaded girlfriend Michelle McAnderson as an animating couple in 1930's Hollywood and, yes, The McMouser Bros. Cartoon Studios in Hollywood is actually a caricatured play on Walt Disney Animation Studios' original 2719 Hyperion Avenue lot in Silver Lake, California, USA and that's the only two hints I've came up with for this special blog news bulletin! I know, I already got the Cartoon Colour HDTV 12-field guide since the early 2010's (?), I already have lots of blue and red col-erase pencils, I already have lots of Palomino Blackwing pencils, I already have four packs of large-size kneaded erasers and a 12-inch clear plastic ruler and, yes, tons of 12-field acme-punched animation paper (most of it was the 1 1/2 (?) tons of standard American-Canadian acme-punched 12-field paper bought from Cartoon Colour and Lightfoot while the 2 reams of European acme-punched 12-field animation paper was bought from Amazon) for goodness sake! And I also have my MacBook Pro, iMac, DigiCel FlipBook software, Adobe Photoshop software, Adobe Premiere Pro software and, yes, iMovie app.

Wish me good luck on the classes online at Don Bluth University, fellow 2D traditional hand-drawn animation fans online!

Why did Sky Cinema UK and Disney XD USA unleash Nightmare Fuel

KP didn't do it!! Shego did it!! Shego really did it!!!!

Joy looks very heartbroken after what
Shego has really done to her!!
(WTH, Sky Cinema UK!!)

Not only that I was shocked that Bob Iger had actually rejected my idea of "Inside Out: The Series" in favor of developing a live-action/CGI "Kim Possible" TV movie, I read online that the "Disney" unit broadcasters of Sky Cinema TV in the UK have stupidly decided to pull "Inside Out" off the air in favor of putting on "Kim Possible Movie So The Drama" until further notice (they thought it's better that Joy needed to have her movie take a break and wanted to air KP Movie on Sky Cinema Disney and it was appropriate that it's temporary until Joy comes back to the UK, or so they thought...) and it was, dare I even say it...      DOWNRIGHT AWFUL!!!!!! And I kinda felt pretty bad for Joy after what Shego has done to kick her out of Sky Cinema TV in the UK!!!!

Shego taking over Disney XD for the Spring of 2018
really plagues nightmares on Disney fans like me!!!!

Unfortunately, I had just discovered that, while reading the March 2018 Disney XD calendar on the Disney-ABC Domestic Television Group website, it turns out that the US broadcasters of Disney XD have stupidly decided to pull reruns of "Phineas and Ferb" off the air (starting on Saturday March 10, 2018) in favor of airing reruns of "Kim Possible" and "Lilo and Stitch: The Series" for the whole Spring of 2018 and it's already plaguing nightmares on some Disney fans like Me and Lilly Wilson! (they figured that Disney XD shall have enough "girl power" on weekends to last the whole Spring of 2018 and thought it was appropriate, or so they thought...) Rumor has it that, in the UK, some autistic Disney fans in the UK ended seeing "Kim Possible Movie So The Drama" on Sky Cinema Disney instead of "Inside Out" and suffered nightmares for two or four weeks and WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA BECOME OF SKY CINEMA DISNEY UK THANKS TO SHEGO KICKING JOY OUT OF SKY CINEMA DISNEY IN THE UK FOR NO REASON!!!!   AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!

However, the good news is that I'm planning to create a new Blogger page, called "Michael's Iggy Toons", that will be professional (and 2D traditional hand-drawn animation-related) like DejaView, Michael Sporn (RIP) Animation Blog, Yowp and, yes, Tralfraz!

My Nightmare Phobia REVEALED!!!!

I can't believe that, earlier in 2018, those darn broadcasting crew members of Sky Cinema Disney in the U.K. has stupidly decided to pull "Inside Out" off the air on Sky Cinema Disney and replaced it with "Kim Possible Movie So The Drama" and, if I can imagine, this could be the work of Dr. Drakken, Shego, Fat Cat and his goons, Don Karnage and the Air Pirates because they really despise Joy for no reason and had already booted her out of Sky Cinema TV broadcasting company for no reason!! Thanks to that, I really had a nightmare on Friday Night, February 23rd, 2018 about Shego ambushing Joy to her unwanted death and I woke up gasping for air as if were I almost ended up with a heart attack, although I had my cpap on, but...       IT WAS SO WRONG AND STUPID OF THOSE RUTHLESS SKY CINEMA TV BROADCASTERS IN THE U.K. TO DO SUCH A MEAN THING TO JOY!!!!!!!!  And, because of that horrible nightmare, I was really afraid of Shego right now and, thanks to my nightmare phobia, I was hooked on shows such as "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers", "TaleSpin", "Goof Troop", "Timon and Pumbaa", "101 Dalmatians The Series", "The Replacements", "The Emperor's New School", "Phineas and Ferb", "Milo Murphy's Law", "Wallace and Gromit", "Morph", "Shaun the Sheep", "All Hail King Julien", "The Penguins of Madagascar", "Toy Story Toons" short films, Pixar short films, "Rugrats", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Fairly OddParents" and "The Loud House" and I was also hooked on animated movies such as "Aladdin", "A Goofy Movie", "Toy Story" movie series, "Pocahontas", "Hercules", "Tarzan", "The Lion King" movie trilogy, "Jungledyret Hugo" 1 and 2, "Ratatouille", all the best Don Bluth movies of the 80's and 90's, all three Amblimation movies, "Madagascar" movie series, "Shaun the Sheep Movie", "Inside Out", "Wallace and Gromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" and "Monsters University"!!

How did my Disney Dream really DIE??

SAD NEWS for All Disney-Pixar fans!!:

I know why Disney rejected my idea "Inside Out The Series"!!...

Toons react to Live-Action/CGI "Jetsons" Reboot!!
(CURSE YOU, JUDY JETSON, YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!)

...Disney rejected my idea in favor of commissioning Warner Bros. to develop a Live-Action/CGI Reboot of "The Jetsons" directed by Robert Zemeckis and set to air on ABC-TV around 2018-19 and that's not the worst part but they also rejected it for that godawful "Clarence" ripoff "Big City Greens" set to air on Disney XD on 2018!!!! CURSE YOU, JUDY JETSON!!!! It's not fair!! It's even not fair to Inside Out fans like me and Thomas O'Sullivan and, after finding out that an episode of "Hotel Transylvania: The Series" ruining Disney Channel after "Inside Out" ends, once on Sunday Night, October 1st, 2017 and again on Monday Afternoon, October 2nd, 2017 and, OH NO!! I was too late to stop Judy Jetson from brutally attacking Joy and, after nearly two hours of mourning for Joy, I ended up suffering nightmares for 5 nights which abruptly ended with The Jetsons getting permanently exiled from Green Mouse Studios nearly 1-1/2 months after my (now former) best episodes of "The Jetsons" off my iTunes account in favor of adding "CatDog", "The Emperor's New School", "Sidekick", "Johnny Bravo" and, yes, "TaleSpin"!!!! Because of the dreaded "Joy vs. Judy Jetson" fiasco on the first two days of October 2017, I am now afraid (and terrified) of "The Jetsons" because 50% of their episodes had less screen time of cartoon human females falling down on their butts (including the "Bed pulled out from underneath Judy" scene in the "Dude Planet" episode) and also not enough cartoonish humor in all episodes and thanks to why I'm really afraid (and terrified) of "The Jetsons", I'm really hooked on better, clean-yet-somewhat funnier cartoons on iTunes, VHS Cassette, DVD, HD DVR and Amazon Prime! They're known as "Morph and Chas", "Wallace and Gromit", "Shaun the Sheep", "Timmy Time", "Gumby", "Goof Troop", "Phineas and Ferb", "Milo Murphy's Law", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Replacements", Classic "Popeye the Sailor" cartoons, "My Life as a Teenage Robot", "The Fairly OddParents", "The Emperor's New School", "Bonkers D. Bobcat", "101 Dalmatians The Series", "The Loud House", "CatDog", "DuckTales: The Original 1987 Series", "DuckTales: The 2017 Reboot Series"

This is how "The Jetsons" ruined Disney Channel
on the first two days of October 2017 and I AM
SO NEVER FORGIVING JUDY JETSON FOR
WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO TRY BRUTALLY
MURDERING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
OUT OF JOY ON THE FIRS TWO DAYS OF
OCTOBER 2017 AND NOW I REALLY HATE
JUDY JETSON FOR HER GUTS!!!!!!!!!
(WTH, DISNEY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!)

 and, yes, "Pingu"!!!! And why that terrible fiasco got so bad on the first two days of October 2017, I couldn't watch "The Jetsons" anymore... FOREVER!!!! Looks like Mickey Mouse had already sued The Jetsons (for attempted second-degree toon-slaughter towards Joy and for acting hostile towards Joy and ALSO FOR KILLING MY DISNEY DREAM) in order to save Joy from being brutally attacked by Judy Jetson!! This is so not fair to Inside Out fans like me and Thomas O'Sullivan and I AM SO NEVER FORGIVING JUDY JETSON FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO BETRAY JOY AND I HAD TO DUMP JUDY JETSON IN FAVOR OF DATING JOY (A LOT MORE) BECAUSE JOY (FROM "INSIDE OUT") IS MY NEW CARTOON EX-GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE I HAD TO BREAK UP WITH JUDY JETSON SO I CAN DATE JOY A LOT MORE AFTER JUDY AND HER FUTURISTIC FAMILY GOT EXILED FROM GREEN MOUSE ANIMATION... FOREVER!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  And that's how my Disney Dream really DIED!!!!

However, October 2017 will be a busy month for me because I got school at Kit Young Center along with online 2D traditional animation classes with Tom Bancroft, 12 days of Inktober Drawings and, last but not least, HALLOWEEN!!!! I'll be back in the next post on November 2017 because This Blog is placed on a hiatus for a while after this blog article was posted!!

Yours Sincerely,
MICHAEL "Mooter" IGAFO-TE'O

P.S., I am so never forgiving Judy Jetson for
what she's done to Joy on the first two days of October 2017!!!!

Good News and Bad News!! 09-14-2017

Dear Fellow Cartoon-Loving Fans,

I'm back from a long hiatus for nearly 9-1/2 months since I last posted here on my Blog and, this time, I've got good news and bad news!!:
--------
Good News!!:
1. I'm currently working other projects from September 2017 throughout the year 2018 to the year 2019 such as concept art of the "Angry Rodents" cast, the script and storyboard for my 12-minute "Angry Rodents" pilot episode, my full-size animatronic Bancy McMouser project, my traditionally-animated college graduation short "One Crazy Date at The Pizzeria" and, yes, other things to do before I graduate from The Torrant and Kit Young Centers!!
2. I've Finally Discovered "DuckTales: The 2017 Reboot Series" on Disney XD along with rediscovering "Milo Murphy's Law" and "TaleSpin" and "Goof Troop" and "Phineas and Ferb" and "The Flintstones" and "An American Tail" movie series and "Balto" movie series and I finally discovered "Go Hugo Go" and its sequel "Hugo the Movie Star" on DVD!!!!
3. My next online 2D traditional animation classes in October 2017 will be with former Disney animator Tom Bancroft since I already did multiple online 2D traditional animation classes with Tony Bancroft of Taught by a Pro and Dana Corgan of Elite Animation Academy.
4. I'm gonna see Disney-Pixar's "Coco" in theaters during the Holiday Season of 2017 after the success I had with seeing "The Smurfs and The Lost Village" at Goodrich Jackson 10 Cinema during Mid-March 2017 and "Despicable Me 3" at AMC Cherry Blossom 14 + IMAX in Traverse City, Michigan during Mid-July 2017!!

Bad News!!:
1. I'm no longer interested in watching "The Jetsons" anymore because I FREAKIN' HATE IT because Netflix had (stupidly) decided to re-add "The Jetsons Movie" instead of adding Disney-Pixar's "Inside Out" due to Riley Andersen's cameo on "Finding Dory"!! THIS IS BECAUSE SONY PICTURES' ANIMATION'S "THE EMOJI MOVIE" IS A @*%!? RIPOFF OF DISNEY-PIXAR'S "INSIDE OUT"!!!!
2. After my parents and I couldn't afford any money for California, I've decided to delay my future plane trip to California until we finally saved up lots of money for that someday in the near-future...?
3. Still no proof on Pixar collaborating with Disney Television Animation on making an "Inside Out" TV series but Disney Channel did air Sony Pictures Animation's "Hotel Transylvania The Series" which I still despise the movie itself for that their sequel has done to beat "Inside Out" for that Kids' choice award for favorite animated movie back in 2016 and NOW I FREAKIN' HATE THE @*%!? JETSONS BECAUSE OF THE EMOJI MOVIE RIPPED OFF INSIDE OUT ON PURPOSE!!!!
4. Disney Television Animation's "Milo Murphy's Law" was nominated for the 2017 Annie Award for Best Storyboarding in Television Animation Production earlier in 2017 but ultimately lost to DreamWorks' "Trollhunters" which made me hate "Danny Phantom" permanently that I immediately swore off "Danny Phantom" because of that!!!!
5. Disney Television Animation's "Milo Murphy's Law" was also nominated for The 2017 Daytime Emmy for Best Children's Animated Program earlier in 2017 but ultimately lost to "Lost in Oz" which made me hate "Tom and Jerry" permanently that I immediately swore off "Tom and Jerry" because of THAT!!!!
6. Corporate Chuck E. Cheese's has already planned a 2.0 remodel on selected locations by removing animatronic stage shows from their showroom dining areas (and rather selling them to online/local auctions or destroying them?) and replacing them with state-of-the-art dance floors and HDTV monitors powered by BluRay players!! This is because modern children today aren't interested in having animatronics at their local Chuck E. Cheese's locations anymore!!!!

Yours Sincerely,
MICHAEL "Mooter" IGAFO-TE'O!
P.S., I'm finally back on Blogger after a long hiatus for nearly 9-1/2 months!
