Christmas Break, Annie Awards, Updates

FFFF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE WANDER OVER YONDER AND OVER THE GARDEN WALL ON THIS LIST!!!<3333  Well Wander Over Yonder actually got nominated for four categories than just Best animated production for children.  Which honestly makes me so happy, I really hated how Disney treats this show and overshadows it through their other things including those crappy teen sitcoms.:/  Well I can't explain why I love WoY so much since I know my watchers got the idea...  But I will say just like Steven Universe, this show does NOT focus on romance at all but more on platonic relationships and friendship.  Even when they do add in romance, it's mostly for a comedy gags.  Plus I do enjoy the art style along with the music, character designs, and how it's all a space theme. (lmao why is everything I'm getting into having those alien/space themes?)  I really love how the comedy revolves around classic cartoons from the 90s and will pull of many cartoon gags.  It's light-hearted with a few adult jokes thrown around and it does teach kids moral lessons.  And for some reason, Wander and Sylvia reminded me of me and my best friend IRL since I just love their accurate portrayal of friendships along with the flaws in them.  Heck its also made by Craig McCracken, who was the same guy that created Powerfpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends which is why you can see references of those shows.XD  But even if it didn't win this category, it's fine since it did nominate for other categories this year and I'll be fine whichever one it wins.  

Now for Over The Garden Wall, oh man this is probably one of the best things I've seen from CN this year besides Steven Universe, AT, and Regular Show.  I mean for a short series, I really love the story beyond it.  The two main characters remind me so much of Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls and me with my little sister.XD  I can really relate to this one since this one even deals with real life elements such as redeeming yourself, conquering your fears, and of course...  The love for the ones you care about.  I love how the atmosphere and the art style of this show is creepy, mysterious, yet very whimsical.  It all reminds me of those Studio Ghilbi films and just it all makes me think of those folk tale art along with being in those Salem days.  I loved the characters on each episode since they all seem to have a different motive in the story, even though there was a bit of romance added in....  It wasn't portrayed over dramatic or the main thing on the show.  In fact, the main character's crush on the girl was very relatable since it was just a normal dorky crush and I know people been through those situations.  The music in this show is pretty catchy too, sort of like the kind I would since in those music classes as a kid or like some old folktale musical.  I also admire the different monsters and creatures on this show and how terrifying the villain one was in this series.  Though the only downside of this mini-series is the ending, but I hope it does become an actual series.  It seems to have so much potential as the other cartoons on CN.  

As for Gravity Falls, it's another series I do admire on Disney besides Wander Over Yonder and it shares similar themes of Over The Garden Wall.  Except, its more of a comedy that's pretty much like a parody of goosebumps.  The main characters were very interesting since each of them differ in personality XD  I love all the mysterious and creepy designs they had in some of the creatures of this show since they tend to make parodies of cheesy horror films.  However, the only downside with this show was that stupid love triangle of Dipper X Windy X Robbie -__-  Thankfully, they fixed that situation on season 2 XD  I honestly want this to win too but at the same time...  I'm not so sure since out of all the cartoons Disney milks this one way too much.:I  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see Gravity Falls getting all the love but I'm worried about the over hypness getting so bad as if it will become the next MLP and Frozen.  Plus I tried to be part of the fandom, but ehhhh....  so much rabid fans sadly invade it now.  But I don't know, I have mixed feeling for this winning because I love the show but I hate how its becoming so overhyped.  Though I do love how one of the creators of Homestar Runner helps work on Gravity Falls.(gahhhh Homestar Runner, my childhood web series<3)  

As for The Legend of Korra, I can't say much about it since ummm....  I actually never watched the show.  But I'm sure its a good series since I heard many good things about it and I do plan to watch it myself.  But why Adventure Time nominated again?  Don't get me wrong, I do love AT BUT it already won awards from The Annie Awards and the show has only been around since 2010.  That being said, its already too overhyped enough to a point where its overshadowing other CN cartoons.:/  And I must say, I wasn't impressed with the latest season and episodes since it became too dramatic for a cartoon and romance is now shoved in it.-__-  Now, I do love Pen Warden's intentions and his concepts for Adventure Time (hell, I actually want to get the art book of it for Christmas), but I think he's trying too hard to give it a story...  Now it doesn't make him a bad writer because I really loved the earlier seasons of AT.  But I think it went downhill ever since those Fiona and Cake episodes along with Flame Princess coming along, plus there's already too much fillers and it makes me get so confused when they switch around the themes to be random and serious.:I  But anyways, I think people should be more open to latest things and there's much more to CN than just Adventure Time.(If I had to choose a CN show to win this year, it will most likely be Over the Garden Wall since they do deserve an award this year)  You guys don't have to agree with me, but please remember this is my opinion and at least respect it.
