From the Sea to the Sky, Godspeed Sebastian - RIP Samuel E. Wright

This is a Retro Rebellion Special Report

From the world of voice acting and in music, Samuel E. Wright, who was one of many voices of our childhood, has died on May 24th of this year. He was 74 years old.

Wright, for the longest part of his life and career, was best known for being the voice of Horatio Thelonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sebastian , or just simply Sebastian, from Disney's classic, The Little Mermaid. Sebastian, for the longest part, was the court musician to Ariel's father, King Triton, who provided all the concerts he conducts (which mostly ends in disaster due to Ariel's disappearance). He also watches over Ariel, to make sure she doesn't get into trouble (which eventually caused more trouble, but that's another story). Personality-wise, Sebastian may be a hard crab to reason with, being Triton's royal advisor besides being a court musician, but he is carefree spirit, who has a love for music. Sebastian became so popular, he even appeared in other Disney media, including Raw Toonage and Marsupilami (which originated in Raw Toonage). The song, Under the Sea, which won one of two Oscars around 1989, became one of the anthems for summertime.

Wright's other roles include John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie in the biopic, Bird, which tells the life of Jazz musician, Charlie "Bird" Parker, and Kron from the CGI movie, Dinosaur.

Being a stage performer, he has also appeared in many musicals from the 70s to the late 90s, such as Jesus Christ Superstar, and as Mufasa from the Broadway version of The Lion King.

Wright died of prostate cancer. He was survived by his wife and 3 kids.

In short, for years I have avoided The Little Mermaid due to personal reasons until 2006 and I have since embraced it. Now, looking back on the movie itself, it was truly magical, especially with Sebastian putting on a show. 

Godspeed, Mr. Wright. Thank you for all the memories, Calypso and all and making Under the Sea one of the anthems for summer. We will never forget you.

Power Rangers x Super Mario

Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid will be adding Ryu and Chun-Li to the game in an Epic Crossover. Not Only will The Heroes of Street Fighter get Ranger Forms,But they will also be getting Unmorphed Civilian Forms too.

This opens - No,Completely Destroys - the door for Characters from Other Franchises to join the game as well. Imagine Members of the G.I.Joe team becoming Rangers,or even Mega Man characters duking it out with the Rangers.

Hell,In the Fan-Made Super-Power Beat Down,the Green Ranger fought Scorpion. So the Undead Shirai-Ryu also has a chance. Sub-Zero too. Godzilla can also be added as a "Zord" assist. The possibilities are endless.

So this brings me to today's post,What if Power Rangers did a Crossover with the Super Mario franchise? What would that look like? What would that Be like? Well,I'm gonna give you My version.

Story: In an alternate Universe,Miah Nabas,a fallen Morphing Master,wants to eradicate free will and wants a whole Omniverse of slaves who will follow her.

She arrives in the Nintendo Multiverse and the Mushroom  World. After watching some of the Villains fail time and time again,,Miah Nibas decides to take them under her wing and make them part of her army...as Evil Power Rangers.  She recruits 5 of the World's greatest Villains and casts a mind spell on them,upon learning that they will Never obey her or work together. Despite being brain-washed,the Villains retain most of their personas.

Zordon The 3rd,young upstart Morphing Master in training,and Zordon's descendant,recruits the Main Heroes of the Mushroom World to help stop Nabas and makes them Power Rangers.

The battle for the World begins. Also,the inevitable XOver with the Actual Power Rangers.

Strike it when it's hot! Brining back the old PSN webstore

Even though we have saved the PSN store on our PS3 and PS Vita, this isn't far from over. We got to strike when the iron is hot. There is a matter of shopping for our PS3, PSP and PS Vita content online and we need it back, despite Sony's objections. I made a petition, demanding Sony to bring back the old PSN webstore for our PS3, PSP and PS Vita content, a separate PSN Store from the main one that has only PS4 and PS5 content. If you are interested in making a difference again, the petition is in the link below. And when you sign it, pass it on. I need all the help I could get.

I don't want to see the message "An Error has Occurred" when I shop for my PS3 content, especially the DLC costumes for DOA5 Last Round. Until next time.

SONY: Bring Back Old Playstation webstore for PSP, PS3 and PS Vita Content - https://www.change.org/p/sony-bring-back-old-playstation-webstore-for-psp-ps3-and-ps-vita-content

He-Man NTSC Part II!


Looks like Grimbot has done it again. Just like with The Cosmic Comet, he has restored the video and audio pitch of the 4th episode (which was suppose to be the pilot episode), The Diamond Ray of Disappearance, along with restoring the missing scenes and fixing some audio issues. Like I said, DreamWorks should hire him to fix not just He-Man, but also most of the Filmation cartoons. Restoring them to their pre-PAL 4% state. Grimbot truly has the power, just like He-Man. Let's just hope that DreamWorks take notice and fix the audio and video for their next DVD/Blu-Ray re-release.
