Welcome to Dart Toons, I am Polaris

and today I bring you the best that 2018 has left us

I will talk about series, movies, events and much more, so, let's start.

To start I would like to highlight the contribution that Netflix has represented for the animation industry in 2018

from the incredible appearance of Final Space, a series produced by Olan Rogers

which tells us the misadventures of Gary and the countdown to his release

in the same way, another great premiere on the platform was Hilda, a charming animation

which tells us the adventures of a little girl in her quest to discover and register new creatures

This year we also had the return of She-ra: The Princess Of Power

an interesting bet on the part of Netflix that many thought

that would be another progressive animation with Calarts style

but that, on the contrary, end up being very well received by the community.

Another project that had a very good reception was the second step in Guillermo del Toro's ambitious project with Tales Of Arcadia

which this year premiered the third part of "TrollHunters" and the first part of "3 Below"

thus advancing towards the future premiere of "Wizards"

remember that this project is an animated trilogy of Dreamworks and Netflix

which are connected to each other by sharing the same universe, and that will find its climax in "Wizards"

where the heroes of Arcadia will join forces in an apocalyptic war for the control of the magic that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy

And to finish with everything that Netflix has left us this year, we have the magnificent 5th season of Bojack Horseman

which left us with a bitter taste after all that happened in this season that in the end

takes care of leave us with a possible ray of hope for the chaotic life of Bojack.

Jumping into the world of th big screen, I would like to highlight the work of Pixar in the "Incredibles 2"

which after 14 years, bring us back to this heroic family, where in a turn of events

Elastic Girl will take on the heroic responsibilities of the family

on the other hand, Sony brought us to the big screen, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse

which focuses on Miles Morales, a boy who is involved in a dimensional conflict

where he will join forces with his counterparts from other universes to restore order before it's too late

On the other side, this year was also full of surprises and farewells

as is the case of the surprise revelation of the true identity of Rose Quartz

who turned out to be Pink Diamond in the episode called "A Single Pale Rose"

and without getting too far away Cartoon Network, this year we had to say goodbye to our little Clarence

who after great adventures with Jeff and Sumo, said goodbye

who also said goodbye in an epic and nostalgic episode, were Fin and Jake

who in the episode "Come Along With Me "closed the cycle of 8 years of adventures

who even after all the controversy caused, did not say goodbye, it was Apu.

Now at this point I would like to make a special mention to those talented personalities who this year said goodbye

The tragedy was present on May 15, when the renowned dubbing actor José Lavat passed away

who for many years lent his voice in the spanish narration of the animation of Japanese origin of Dragon Ball

as well as different roles in Death Note, Sailor Moon, Slam Dunk, and others.

In the month of October we lost Adam Burke, a veteran in the world of animation from Pixar

who worked on different projects such as Cars, Wall-e, Toy Story 3, The Incredibles 2, and more

On November 12, the awesome Stan Lee, famous writer, editor and producer of Marvel Comics

passes away, he will be always remember in his beloved creations and works with Jack Kirby

such as Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, Daredevil, Iron Man, The X-Men, and many others.

Again in the month of November, after a long fight against the disease of E.L.A, he died on the 26th Stephen Hillenburg

animator, producer and American biologist known for being the creator of the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.

In the month of December, specifically on the 18th, our beloved Angeles Bravo

a talented Mexican dubbing actress, leaves us, who participated in projects such as Courage

, the Cowardly dog, in the role of Muriel, in the Simpsons as Mrs. Agnes Skinner

or as Gumball's grandmother Jojo.

After this emotional moment, I would like to emphasize that this year there was a particular event in the world of animation

and it's that Rick and Morty, have received an extensive renovation with more than 70 episodes

which have only achieved, renowned animations such as The Simpsons, SpongeBob, South Park, among others.

On the other hand, I would like to make a special mention to the work that Cartoon Network has done this year

because even though in 2017 we had said goodbye to Regular Show, and this year to Adventure Time

they follow their vision of innovating with series as Summer Camp Island

series centered on Oscar and his best friend Hedgehog, who are left in a surrealist camp

giving rise to strange events such as horse that are transformed into unicorns,

talking sharks, sticky notes with parallel dimensions and much more.

We also had the premiere of Craig Of The Creek which revolves around Craig and his friends

in this universe there are different tribes of children who reign over the typical forts on trees

these children live various adventures in this species of wild childish civilization on the west side of New Jersey

But without a doubt, what I most want to highlight on behalf of Cartoon Network is the support it has given to indie animation

as it happened with Golpea duro Hara, animation series of Chilean origin made by Marmota Studio

which tells us the journey of Hara through the infinite tournament

in order to prove that she is the strongest woman in the Kallpa continent

I'll leave you in the description the link so you can watch all the episodes.

And since we talk about independent animation, this year was undoubtedly the best moment for it

since we have great events that give a new breath to the effort put by great creators

as is the case of Mystery Skulls

who after two years of absence they returned with a magnificent video that broadens even more the "Lore" behind all this world

created by the talented team of Ben Mangum

This year, in addition, we have the premiere of the pilot of Cliffside, an independent animation

created by Liam Vickers

which has quickly gained a place in the Fandom of animation

hopefully this coming 2019 brings with it the opportunity that this series is acquired for its complete production

personally I think Netflix would be a good place for this series. What do you think?

Now if we talk about series that surprised with their sudden appearance and that also won a great place in the hearts of lovers of the Cartoons

we must mention Emara Emirates Hero, a 5-episode American-Arab miniseries produced by Eating Stars Studios

Emara, is a superhero from the Arab Emirates, which has the power to turn her arms into a variety of weapons

the truth is that this seems fantastic, since it is a true sign of progress due to the incredible work and effort that is behind

as well as the message left by this series

which truly shows a struggling woman who must deal with the death of her father

and is able to support her mother to maintain the family business and is also able to fight crime

And finally, this year also brought us the confirmation of something that many in this community have been waiting for and is that Vivziepop

finally managed to reach the goal set in both Patreon and Ko-fi to bring us Hazbin Hotel

a series that I already have mentioned in innumerable occasions in this channel

since it is a series that even with the little that it has been able to show, it has stolen my heart

this supposes that she will be making animations clips monthly, delighting us with small shorts

waiting to the hopes that this series, as with Cliffside

can be taken by some great producer and taken them to the small screen

Well, this has been all for today, if you think I miss some mention, I invite you to leave it in the comments
