I admittedly don't know a lot about Indian culture but I love how this one feels deeply rooted in it and framed around the different styles of dances across the country. Beautifully done.

Probably the most diversity I've seen in one of these videos. I love that it includes a wide range of accents across the UK. Really clever bits too.

You do love your models. I'm guessing it was Pokemon themed as well?

Of all airlines, I wasn't expecting Turkish Airlines to have the elaborate Lego Movie tie-in safety video. Really went all out for it too.

And there apparently was a Pokemon one done for ANA last year. I missed that.

Going down a rabbit hole here and watching more inflight safety videos. I remember this one from ANA a while back that turned inflight safety into a Kabuki performance.

The murals there are classic but sometimes I do wish they would update it.

Make sure to keep in mind the new David Bowie Centre that opened up and get on the mailing list as tickets sell out. I was just shy a couple months of it opening while I was there so I didn't get to go.

Saw this posted last week and it is absolute cinema of safety videos πŸ˜‚. Been really admiring the inventiveness of inflight safety videos this past decade. I had no idea that Philippine dramas had the same elements of a telenovelas but it makes sense that they would.

Screw it. We're going Beast Mode with Beastars now. Time to see what this is all about and learn why this Legoshi fella keeps popping up in my audition materials as a voice reference πŸ˜….

Huh, Danganronpa that was not 😨. Plenty of despair though, and intrigue. Was not expecting those vibes and art direction. For some reason I thought the whole series was out but it looks like it's new and being released weekly. Something to look forward to every week...or dread.
