Thank you for accessing Questworld

Well, I got the assignment done in time...and now I have another one! :O It turns out that the dudes in charge liked what I did, liked that I got it done quickly, and decided to give me an extra shot. So woot, a little more work! \o/ I'll be doing that this weekend, since now it needs to be done by Sunday. Thanks to dudes who sent good luck! ♥

Although few things are more nerve-wracking then trying to navigate Hollywood traffic at night during Oscars weekend. Except maybe attempting to squeeze out of the valet parking and realizing that somehow there are two silver BMWs stuck really really close on either side of you while trying to edge out. 8|


I purchased a few things recently: one of them being The Art of Bolt, since I wanted to look at the storyboards in there. And I love some of the digital concept stuff they had for it! I wish there were a few more of Chris Sanders' really early concepts, tho, as it was mostly art to do with the final product of the movie. Still, eeeeee Bolt. ♥

I also got THE REAL ADVENTURES OF JONNY QUEST ON DVD OMG. I've seriously already watched through the whole thing. I loved the whole X-Files concept of it and the pretty animation and aaah everything. Some things I noticed now that I never noticed before:
- It somehow never occurred to me that Race Bannon was SO DAMN SOUTHERN. Like every other line out of his mouth is a metaphor relating to catfish, LMAO.
- OMG, the CG on this is from the 90s and it's SO bad! There's next to no facial animation and you can totally tell that they didn't have inverse kinetics back then...or at least weren't using them enough. The camerawork is pretty nifty, though, and it looks like they spent a lot of time on the sets. I just remember thinking that Questworld was the COOLEST DAMN THING EVAR when I was little.
- SO IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF RAAAAAGE. I love how Ezekiel Rage continuously gets blown up in increasingly more spectacular ways and then STILL comes back. He blows up in a car crash and comes back. He blows up in a plane flying into the side of a cliff and still comes back. He blows up in a space shuttle crashing to earth and still comes back! Hardcore.
- Now that I'm older, I now realize that Dr. Surd is basically AN EVIL STEPHEN HAWKING. Evil Stephen Hawking with a high-tech cybertronic wheelchair. 8D
- I wish the ghost episode with Jonny and Jessie was on this season! Alas.
- I so want to do more Jonny Quest fanart now, aaaahhhh

Also, does anyone remember the name of the werewolf episode? It's not in the first season, apparently.

Also, does anyone remember the name of the werewolf episode?

Wiki's RAJQ episode Page has one called "Eclipse" (episode 212) which is described thusly:

"The team land in New Orleans to watch the lunar eclipse. Plans change when a mysterious woman pursued by strangers armed with silver bullets charms Hadji and proposes to move the viewing party to her mansion."

Is that it?

Huh bizarre, that sounds like it would be it, except I'm 99% certain that the werewolf ep took place in the tundra. :O

I'm glad your assignment went well! Good luck on this one as well!

You didn't hit the shiny BMWs, did you? D: I really hope not...

Sadly, I've never watched Jonny Quest, so I can't help. Sorry. =(

Thankees!

No, I did not. If I did, I'd probably been in seeeerious trouble. |D

SO IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF RAGE!! Ezekiel Rage has to be my favorite cartoon villain...ever. I always want to make a reference to that quote but I don't think anyone would understand it...

I liked the 2nd season waaay better, so I was kind of disappointed when I only saw the 1st season in stores. (I thought it'd be a complete collection.)
Everyone got really cute in the 2nd season...and Race Bannon is HUNKY. ||D (I guess I had a sexy older man fetish even when I was 10.)

Dude, the ghost episode = the piano prodigy one?? That one was one of my favorites too!! And the one where Jessie gets turned into a mummy...

Oh man I used to dress up as Jessie. (I actually owned that crazy pink jumper she wore...LOL.)

It's just a picture of his family! That's all there is in the BOOK OF RAAAAAGE. XD (Everyone should have a BOOK OF RAGE.)

Huh, I preferred the first season, if only because the quality of the animation started to go downhill some. (And that house that ate people was a little bizarre.) Race Bannon is ALWAYS HUNKY.

Yeah, I think that was the one! I LOVED that ep.

The ghost episode...was that the one with the skeleton/mummy in the wall and had to do with piano music? That's, like, the only episode I remember watching, and it scared me. :(

I also remember something about "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" when Jonny and Jessie were riding a motorcycle and were being chased by...a dragon, maybe? That made me always double-check how close the cars were behind us when my mom let me sit in the front seat (like a BIG KID xD).

That said, I used to watch the classic Jonny Quest a lot more. I think I had a crush on Dr. Quest and his awesome red beard. :P

Yeah, I think it did have that piano music thing. It was a scary episode, but the ending was good.

I think that was a thing in Questworld where Jonny was being chased by an alien? But it was part of the game he was playing.

Ohh, man. Johnny Quest = NOSTALGIA. I used to watch that all the time at my aunt's house when I was a wheeee lil' baby, and... dude.

Speaking of CGI animation, can you remember the first time you've ever seen it? I think mine was Toy Story, or maybe random commercials before that. Totally remember the Ice Ice Dancing Baby too, ffff.

The best kind of nostalgia!

I'm pretty sure I saw it before Toy Story...either in Jonny Quest or Reboot. Most likely it was used in a commercial, though. OMG that baby is horrible.

Reboot? Sounds vaguely familiar...
