40 Facts About Pixar (1-10)
How's that for something media fans? Pixar Animation Studios officially turns 40 this year! Yeah, hard to believe that the studio behind Toy Story , Inside Out , The Incredibles , Cars , WALL.E and many, many more will be 40 years old. I bet for many people, it still feels like Pixar's relatively new as it's not as old as the really big studios like Disney or Warner Bros. But that's where we are now. Pixar has officially been around for four decades and I'm here to celebrate

Media Essays: The Effect of Jubilee
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy looked at the drawing Wandering Fox made of Tom Baker getting his knighthood. Teddy: Whoa, he looks so good wearing that coat again! Freddy: Age doesn’t stop Tom Baker from looking great in his old clothes. It’s nice we got something Doctor Who related to be happy about. Teddy: Yeah, it’d be nice if they did something to celebrate the Eighth Doctor this year since it’ll be thirty years since he became the Doctor. I quite agree o

Captain Conroy's Pixar 40th Anniversary Marathon: Week 2
Written by Captain Conroy Read Week 1 here. One does have to wonder so, for how great Toy Story 2 was, how on Earth could the guys at Pixar possibly top that? Well, how about a prison break story featuring toys? No seriously. Come on guys, don’t look at me like that. Guys I’m serious! Ah for Pete’s sake, let’s get going shall we?! Toy Story 3 features a main plot point which was teased previously in the second film, what does happen when Andy grows up? Well – in this movie h

Media Essays: The Career of Díotóir
Now this one's a machine I know everybody's going to be happy to see me talk about. There are many recognizable machines in Robot Wars , and they're all easily identifiable for a variety of reasons. Some have a unique design, some have a cool colour scheme, some have a cool looking weapon, some have unique design traits that you won't find anywhere else. This machine is easily the best example of that last part. No other machine sports a look as iconic and as easily recogniza

Captain Conroy's Pixar 40th Anniversary Marathon: Week 1
Written by Captain Conroy Hello everyone and at the time of writing this, Happy New Year 2026! I know I said my next review would be of The Archie Show , but a great circumstance has warranted holding that review back for the moment. For those who know me well, or even if you don’t know me well – I am a massive fan of the Pixar side of Disney and I have loved all of their movies to date. Yes – Cars 2 included which is an incredibly hot take and I know. LOL. However, as of th

2025: Year in Review
Whew, we're about to end another year already? Man time really is just an illusion these days... So 2025. What a year am I right? And when I say that, I don't necessarily mean it in a good way. While 2025 wasn't as bad as 2024, it still had a lot of bad things about it, especially considering certain people in power that I won't mention here. I want to keep things fun as we finish off 2025, so no need to delve into that stuff. This blog is about media, so let's talk about it.

Media Essays: Beast Boy and Raven: Individual Stories
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were snoozing away in bed, too tired to get up after spending the night getting a bit tipsy with the drinks. The Wandering Fox smiled as he closed the door on them. I think we’ll let them be. Good day everybody. With the title you can see it’s about two of DC’s Titans. You know them, you love them, you know of their relationship with each other, it’s Beast Boy and Raven. Yes, I ship them, so what? I ain’t the only one XD But still

Media Essays: Hazbin Hotel Rewrite
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Should we get the Cynical Crown out for this one? Eh not for long Freddy, I have busier things to do. Freddy: Yeah? Teddy: He does! He’s got a bit of writing to get out there! Freddy: Oh yes he does! But still, mind telling our readers what this is about? Yes of course. Hey guys, it’s me the Wandering Fox again and I’m here to talk to you about my Hazbin Hotel rewrite. You see, I watched Season Two and thought it was nowhere near as good

Media Essays: What If Kanto Got The Paldea Treatment?
Written by KivatheDCWizard Hello everyone, I’m the Passing-through Kamen Rider, and if it is cheesy I love it. As you know I’m a Pokémon fan, and I love the games. Now, the Paldea Region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet allow us to face important opponents in a way that every type is countered. Between the Titan Pokémon, the Gym Leaders and the Star Bosses every type was represented. So I thought, why not a similar system for another region? What if aside from the Gym Leader

Media Essays: I Don't Give A Ship
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were busy writing out a few Christmas cards. The fox beamed over at Teddy. Freddy: Gonna sneak in a little love confession? Teddy: I d-don’t know, maybe. I gotta think of it. Freddy: I say you should, you gotta give her something other than Merry Christmas. Teddy: Yeah, but would she be interested? Freddy: You don’t know until you try. That you don’t guys. You don’t know until you try. It’s like watching a film or series or play

Media Essays: Doctor Who's Awkward Predicament
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy had gotten a hammer out, ready to smash the Cynical Crown to pieces. Freddy: Yes! He’s been doing so well! He doesn’t need it anymore! He was about to swing it upon it, but then Teddy grabbed it and took it away, earning a frown out of Freddy. Freddy: Oi! What are you doing? Teddy sighed sadly at his fox friend. Teddy: He’s gonna be needing it. Freddy gasped and looked in shock to his cat friend. Freddy: No way. Teddy: Yes. Yes indeed. I

Media Essays: Pokémon Legends ZA vs. Pokémon Legends Arceus
This was inevitable. Go on, admit it, you all knew this post was coming. XD With two Legends games in the Pokémon franchise, it's inevitable that they're going to be compared to one another. Pokémon: Legends Arceus really defied all expectations for a Pokémon game and proved to be GameFreak's most experimental title to date. The game was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics alike and is considered possibly THE best Pokémon game of the Switch era. Legends Z-A by c

It’s been great not needing that Cynical Crown. Freddy: Oh yeah, he’s been doing really well! Let’s see what he’s talking about. (Looks) Oh gosh, there’s a Freddy I would kick in the bean bag!

Read Day 9 here. We're at the climax of the game at last everybody, so let's get right into it! Time To Save Lumiose City! Team MZ rushes over to Prism Tower to meet up with Vinnie. As we can see, the situation is quite dire as the scaffolding surrounding the tower has fallen to bits and Prism Tower is glowing with Mega Energy.

This could take a while... Teaching Jacinthe A Lesson and Claiming Rank B So now everything's done with, I attend Jacinthe's tournament with Urbain accompanying me.

Read Day 7 here. Bit of a slower day this one, but still got some exciting stuff to talk about. Battling My Team Mates And Getting Pestered By The SBC AZ gives Lida and Naveen Mega Rings so they're now able to Mega Evolve a Pokémon they own...or at least Lida would be able to if she bothered to evolve her Staryu. =P Because she hasn't yet, the Key Stone is useless to her. Naveen however... ...gets to show off his brand new Mega Scrafty. As for what I think to it...eh, it's fi

As predicted, he's in the Z-A Royale too and is at Rank D, so he's clearly a tough one to beat. Before I face Ivor though, he's in a bit of a state because he's wondering where his sister Gwynn is. He has no idea where she is and like any loving brother is naturally worried about her. Apparently he's such a brute tha

Media Essays: How To Adapt Hollow Knight?
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were just watching a spider making its web with curiousity in their eyes. Teddy: It’s just incredible, watching a tiny little bug creating something so complex. Freddy: Yeah, just amazing. Is it any wonder that there’s been so much done with them over the years, exploring how they work? It’s amazing. Teddy: It’s no wonder lots of franchises are made of bugs. But the most popular has to be Hollow Knight . The whole A Bug’s Life me
