    One of the most wholesome things I’ve seen in a while! What would also be amazing is if the original traditional artworks you did for Disney in the past such as storyboards you did on movies like Beauty And The Beast were on public display at a Disney exhibition! It also got me thinking of what if you got to physically see those production pieces again after possibly not seeing them for decades! :)

It was so wholesome ashame I miss the premiare tho as I was napping. ^ ^" But this was amazing to see and it makes me wish to go there and travel like this, and I didn't know Aaron designed those characters. 😱 I thought he only animated them / directed the movie. That's amazing! Man those who gotten his drawings are lucky I envy them. Also I'd love to see more like this never thought I needed this in my life from his channel, it just amazing all together. ♥ Keep up the amazing work btw Aaron, whoever edit this did so well on the editing. ♥

    @@ember1794 Thank you very much! We had a lot of fun in our own ways out there. My camera tends to wobble too especially with the longer 200-600 Lens which I used for most of the photos in the video. Thankfully both the Lens and Camera have Stabilization to soften the wobble a bit but I also shoot at a much higher Shutter Speed to help get rid of Motion Blur from the wobble. I could also recommend getting a Mono-Pod which is also useful when you're on the move and need a quick stable platform.

That Movie is about The legend of Tembo. Movies being canceled and being unproduced is not gonna happen. The Legend of Tembo fans are counting on you. I want you to continue producing The Legend of Tembo so it can be released. And 1 more thing. I want you to direct Babar and the adventures of Badou The Movie because it’s Babar’s 90th anniversary and I had an idea which is to make the movie 90 to 120 minutes long. So keep following your dreams and reproduce movies and do the impossible Yours truly Samuel Preston aka Nova X Jewel
