HP Pavilion 590-p0050 with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz, Windows 11 Home, DVD-ROM drive, and 8 GB of RAM. I plan to get an external BD-ROM drive someday, though.

"Made for Kids" setting on videos that are unsuitable for children, plus the disabling of comments because of this. Copyright claims. And most recently, the restriction of AI usage. All these reasons left me with no choice but to terminate all my YouTube channels. Now, I only watch YouTube if I feel like it.

That's right, and if the net income continues going down like this, Hasbro may be forced to end all streaming of A New Generation, Make Your Mark and Tell Your Tale on Netflix later this year, or more likely by the time their contract with Discovery Family is also up -- unless, of course, the operating expenses decrease.

I have some shocking news. Exactly 30 days ago, Hasbro reported a record-breaking loss of over $1 billion in just 3 months. That's more than 6 TIMES how much YouTube was once fined by the FTC (only $170 million)! Because of this, Hasbro is apparently now down to a maximum $0 net income within all 60 whole months from 2019 to 2023, which also means all net incomes for Rainbow Roadtrip, Pony Life and EVERYTHING from Generation 5 of My Little Pony (A New Generation, Make Your Mark, and probably Tell Your Tale as well) are now gone. Trust me, if Hasbro hadn't merged with Entertainment One in the first place (I believe that's what they did in 2019), they could have afforded more international productions of Rainbow Roadtrip, Pony Life, and the rest of the Equestria Girls specials. Either way, this is already looking like a disaster for Hasbro and its divisions.

Oops, let me fix what I wrote... (later) There, now it should be understood more.

If someone completely out of their mind that you never met in your entire life said to you, "You're the best mommy in the whole world. Don’t you love your little boy?" What would you reply with? NOTE: Don't say anything that loves this person in return. I recommend something that is far different from that.

Actually, I made that one look real. Trust me, it's really not.

Judging by what movie production studios do with their films for worldwide audiences as seen in the shots below, what do you like about it, and what do you don't? P.S. With this post, I just ranked myself to Zebra!

I don't really care about TV shows on DVD or Blu-ray anymore anyways, since they'll probably cost me huge money. I just want the show on streaming, which is something I agree on. UPDATE: Everything including the main series is now on KiDoodleTV; therefore this topic is no longer needed. Someone please lock it.

One year from now, Hasbro will finally leave Discovery Family alone for the first time in over a decade. But which company should acquire all the properties next – just the ones that the Hub Network/Discovery Family previously owned and nothing else? By the way, I did not include Warner Bros. Discovery because Hasbro's shows should no longer belong there, based on what WBD has been doing recently.

https://shoutfactory.com/collections/my-little-pony Apparently, Shout! Factory still owns distribution rights for Hasbro's content, seeing as though they are still selling My Little Pony DVDs, despite releasing absolutely nothing new since 2019, including Seasons 8 and 9 of FiM and Pony Life. I don't even know how long their contract with Hasbro is ever going to last either. For what I know, it took Shout! Factory just over seven years to release new G4 titles, and so far, they've released nothing for over five years now.

I still think that is kind of off topic regarding the other nine films I mentioned here.

We all love animated movies, but sometimes, there are those that just aren't viewable at all in our country because of certain regulations. Thus, here is my top 10 list of animated films that are/were banned in these specific countries. The bans are ranked in order from least concerning (green) to most unforgivable (blood red). Please note that the first 3 movies in the list are adult-oriented, and the last 7 are kid-friendly. 10. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) The motion picture based on Comedy Central's longest-running TV series is banned in Iraq due to showing Saddam Hussein as a homosexual, who was president of Iraq at the time. 9. Sausage Party (2016) For several years, Sausage Party was banned in Malaysia due to sexual content and for the fact that pork products aren't consumed by Muslims. While the film clearly never got released in Malaysia to date (at least according to IMDb), it's still unclear whether if the ban got lifted or not. 8. The Simpsons Movie (2007) Burma has banned The Simpsons Movie due to fear that the characters would cause bias, over the fact that the country's flag uses the colors yellow and red. 7. The Prince of Egypt (1998) Due to its negative portrayal of a prophet, which is considering illegal under Muslim law, The Prince of Egypt is banned in modern-day Egypt, Malaysia and Maldives. A pretty reasonable ban -- unless you're Muslim-American. 5. Lightyear (2022) In Lightyear, there is a scene where a lesbian kiss occurs for just a few seconds. Disney refused to cut this scene, and as a result, the film ended up banned in Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and pretty much every other country in the Middle East. It's also banned in the People's Republic of China. Nonetheless, there are still official Arabic subtitles and a PRC Mandarin dub available in countries where the film isn't banned, so that's still something. A pretty harsh ban indeed. 5. Strange World (2022) You're probably wondering why I tied Lightyear with Strange World. Well, for the same reason as to why Lightyear was banned in the Middle East, Strange World contains a gay main character named "Ethan Clade", who's only 16 years old, by the way. Because of the Middle East's strict laws regarding LGBT, Disney chose not to release Strange World in those countries, which still counts as a ban anyways. 4. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) In a couple of scenes, there is a transgender flag hanging in Gwen's bedroom containing the words "Protect Trans Kids". No matter what purpose the flag was used for, because it was still used, the film ended up banned in at least four countries in the Middle East. I find this ban a little more unfair than for Lightyear and Strange World. 3. Abominable (2019) Over a week after being released worldwide, Abominable was banned in Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia due to a map containing a nine-dash line. Because Universal refused to cut the film, it still remains banned in the countries I mentioned. Not such a reasonable ban, honestly, as the film does have Malay and Vietnamese subtitles on Netflix in countries where the film isn't banned. 2. Onward (2020) If you think Lightyear's ban wasn't harsh enough, check this out. Onward was banned in a few of the same Middle East countries only because in just a few split seconds of the film, a female cyclops police officer indicated that she was a lesbian, by uttering the words "my girlfriend's daughter". Russia, however, did manage to change the line to "my partner's daughter". By far, the worst ban ever done to an otherwise kid-friendly movie -- but nowhere as bad as #1! 1. My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip (2019) Despite containing nothing objectionable whatsoever, Rainbow Roadtrip is still banned in most of Western Europe, Northern Europe and Turkey at the very least. The 2019 Equestria Girls specials all currently share the same fate in every country from these regions. Obviously, the most unforgivable ban made to a kid-friendly movie -- EVER! And that's my list of top 10 animated films that were banned in certain countries.
