Vote On The April 2020 What A Cartoon Movie!

April is almost here on the Talking Simpsons Network, and we're shaking things up a little for the next subject of our premium podcast, As you may know, once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated film, exclusively for our $10 Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting, we want to let all the $5 folks have a chance to be heard as well so they can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line. But now, in light of our recent updated schedule, we want to get the votes for the next one moving earlier than we had before!

Yes, going forward the polls for the What A Cartoon Movie! will begin in the last week of the month and end as the next month begins!

Why the change-up? By simply changing the poll start date to a week earlier, it gives us more time to plan and better prepare for the movie before the post date. And we appreciate your understanding with making our planning go smoother for future What A Cartoon Movie! episodes.

With that all settled, it's time for April 2020's choices, and wow, this is a great selection. Once more we return to the works of Hayao Miyazaki! Yes, we'll be doing one of the first four films directed by the co-founder of Studio Ghibli. But which one is up to you!

The range of Miyazaki films range from 1979 to 1988, and your four choices are:

The Castle of Cagliostro, the 1979 Lupin III film that was Miyazaki's directorial debut and an incredibly influential action film!

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the first-ish Ghibli film that adapted Miyazaki's manga into a massive trailblazer of 1984!

Castle in the Sky, the 1986 movie aka Laputa that is the first true Ghibli film and still has some of the most intricate art in 2D animation history!

My Neighbor Totoro, the beloved all-ages classic from 1988 that is both achingly cute AND a fanciful tale of growing up!

So please, make your voices heard before the poll closes on the night of April 2! Thanks as always for your amazing support, and here's to another awesome month of podcasts!
