I made it before midnight (Eastern Time Zone)!



While my own Zootopia anniversary isn't until June 26, happy "furth" anniversary to the movie's U.S. theatrical release!



To celebrate, today I had four Eggo blueberry waffles, two of which I used my fox-shape cookie cutter on, and two blueberry cereal bars. (I didn't have any carrots—maybe next year.) I also watched the movie for the fifth time ever, my first since last year's anniversary. As I had been planning to do for a while after reading of some others' experiences (for example, bonzo1314's and JymFox's), I watched with audio description turned on. With this feature, a woman narrates some of the things that occur on screen, starting with, after describing the Cinderella Castle and Steamboat Willie intros, "'Disney presents' in purple letters. 'Zootopia' in pale green letters. The word rises out of view." Many amusing descriptions throughout the film, such as, "As the bunny expires, her watching parents look concerned," "The thief-carrying donut rolls and bounces into police HQ, landing like a spinning top on the weasel's head," "Out on the street, super hustler Nick is pushing the cub in a stroller," "There's naked volleyball," "The tram with its beam of light moves through the darkness like a slow-moving firefly," and "Judy appears through the door. Nick peers in through her ears." It was a fun experience, and I think everyone should watch the movie at least once this way. (It even cheered me up somewhat as I was having some mixed feelings on this anniversary day [and other days], as while the fandom is good in so many ways, there are some parts that still leave much to be desired. [It's complicated. Like me.])



It's bittersweet to now be completely done with A Stitch in Time, as it was something that I worked on (on and off) for so long. The next things will probably be two more installments of Zootopia Scenes and Shorts, which I infrequently add to. I also have an idea for a longer, independent one-shot that would be a reimaging of something I once wrote for The Penguins of Madagascar. If I can do it right (and without having to spend years on it), I'd like to do it (even though the idea has one drawback).



Today is also National Grammar Day, so Nick, Judy, and I would be remiss to not share, once again, some helpful information.
