I have today off but still had to get some sleep after working last night. I went to the gym to try and get the rest of my 12 X 12 X 12 taken care of for July. I now have 11 done. So after some sleep I took care of opening a few of those boxes that I had gotten while we were away at Great Wolf Lodge. Some from Suite Sweet and Blogger Bash. A Couple others from sponsors that I have worked with over the years and one from PBS Kids.
Everything about the unboxings can be found in the vlog today.
Tongiht we went to New Hampshire to enjoy Allison’s 20th High School Reunion. while she caught up with her friends I caught up with one of her best friend’s husband. We bonded over the upcoming Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. This will have 30 classic games installed. Many of them I placed with over and over as a kid. The reunion was nice and we had a great time. After that we stayed at our friend’s Michele and Bob. Kept us from having to drive up and back in one night.
Back a couple of months ago I had the unique privilege of traveling to California and touring DreamWorks Animation Studios on behalf of Netflix to preview the first episode of HOME Adventures with Tip & Oh. I am a member of the Netflix StreamTeam and as such receive various compensations for review and promotion of Netflix shows. Opinions are 100% my own.
While I was there I got to preview two upcoming DreamWorks show that would appear on Netflix. We’ve already seen Voltron debut on Netflix in June and the second show is coming July 29th. That show is HOME Adventures with Tip & Oh. This show is what happens after the movie HOME. The Boov now live on Earth and are adjusting to life with humans. Some Boov live among the humans and some up on their spaceship. Int he show we meet all sorts of Boov but we focus on Tip & Oh through the show.
I was able to meet a bunch of people involved in the show including Rachel Crow, who plays Tip. She is a phenomenal singer which is great since there is a lot of music in the show. We had an interview with Rachel in the recording studio where we did voice overs for Voltron. With Rachel we did a funny exercise routine to music from the show.
I also got to meet the hilarious Ron Funches. I love his comedy and he plays a Boov named Sharzod who is a funny scene stealer. The character is wacky and loud, something that Funches is not. He’s soft spoken and funny, not over the top like Sharzod. We had a fun time and got to see the first episode of the show.
what you will notice is that the show is in 2D not a more CGI 3D look like the movie. You may also notice a lot of different textures and colors. They explained to us that they modeled the show’s look after some famous children’s book artists. I cannot remember their names but they used textures in their artwork. The show has that same sort of feel. Take a look at the trailer and be sure to tune in on July 29th when season one debuts.
