HOME Adventures with Tip and Oh on Netflix

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.

Conferences, Photo-A-Day, Toys, Vlog

#Unboxing the #SweetSuite16 Sponsor Box

Sweet Suite Sponsors Box
Photo-A-Day #4118

The kids and I unbox a giant box of toys and other things from the sponsors of Blogger Bash 2016. Each attendee got this box from Sweet Suite 2016. This came free from the sponsors and while I am under no obligation to do reviews or giveaways or anything with the box I wanted to do a thank you and an unboxing. I not only did the vlog about it but at the same time we did a Facebook live video. It was our first one ever and it was pretty interesting. We had some slowness issues so the picture goes blocky at a few points. Not sure if that was because I was on spotty internet or the 4G from the phone data. But here is my vlog and if you want to see things up close then you can check out the Facebook Live video below.

I did notice something while I was putting the vlog together. In the video we see Andrew take the Qixels and say, I’m taking this to do this. Eva and I are working on the things that we see in front of us and miss Andrew’s declaration. He disappears and comes back with the package opened. I am assuming that he went and got scissors himself and cut it open. He’s quite independent. He then gets bored with us again and goes to the kitchen to create his Qixels item. I catch him on the Facebook Live video.p>

After the video we put together the whole Qixels sword and sprayed it down. With the humidity it took forever to dry. He was happy with it. We had another talk about listening. He gets that talk often.

Later in the day we checked out a couple of houses. We really have to get ours on the market.
