In the first week, we tripled our funding! WOW.
Not only that, but Kickstarter awarded us a "Project We Love" badge, which highlights brilliant examples of creativity! WOW! Thank you, Kickstarter!
Thank you so much for the support and spreading the word!
You've been patiently waiting to hear what the scoop is on Stretch Goals, so here it is!
Once funded, typically a Kickstarter campaign shifts into new Stretch Goals! In an effort to help raise campaign funds even higher, this is where backers get even more rewards and/or deluxe versions of existing rewards.
However, because of the epic vastness of this project, coming up with specific stretch goal rewards is difficult to do. So instead, we are happy to announce Thank You Rewards!
Instead of listing a Stretch Goal ahead of time and attributing it to a dollar amount we are trying to raise, we thought it would be more enjoyable for backers to just receive cool new rewards each week that we reach new milestones of success!
And the 1st Thank You Reward has been unveiled!
Everyone who backs the project at any reward level will get a free Hong Kong Trooper block figure! This little guy is so cool- with extra armor you can add to the torso, forearms, and legs! His helmet also opens on the front to reveal the trooper inside!
Want more free Thank You Rewards? The good news is, these rewards cost you nothing! If you’re a backer, you reap the benefits of any new goals we hit, simply for contributing. That said, it's always in your best interest to help raise funds higher. As increased campaign funds grow, so do your rewards!
One way you can help is to of course raise your backing by choosing a higher tier. You could also consider selecting Add-Ons to the reward tier you already have.
But spending more money isn’t the only way to contribute. In fact, the best way you can help is by spreading the word and sharing the project with friends, colleagues, and anyone you know who might be interested. The more your friends get in on the campaign, the more funds are raised, and the more rewards you’ll receive!
A New ADD-ON!
In case you were contemplating raising your pledge to the top reward tier EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Ultimate Red Carpet Experience, guess what? Too late! They are all SOLD OUT!
However, there is a new Add-On available to ANY reward tier. I'm happy to unveil the RED CARPET EXPERIENCE!
Similar to the SOLD OUT Ultimate Red Carpet Experience Reward, this Add-On does not come with the Executive Producer IMDb credit or any of the other listed rewards. However, you do get this:
This spring, you and your +1 will spend an evening with me at my home in Michigan. I’ll make fun candy bar drinks and share a tour of my home studios, which include mini library, art studio, editing suite, arcade, and of course the mini-movie theater!
It may be a home theater, but it was built to my specifications and custom designed with state of the art projected picture and sound. There will never be a better place to experience seeing Aladdin 3477: The Jinn of Wisdom the way it was intended, as this is where I did final color and sound mastering. You and your guest will see the film, with me, before anyone else! Then we hang out and talk shop!
Oh, and you will get Special Thanks credit for the film on IMDb!
The Red Carpet Experience is happening SOON! I’ll be reaching out this spring to schedule a date for you and your +1's visit. Travel accommodations are not provided, but I will provide the popcorn and promise a fun and festive evening you won't forget.
Note: I’ll be aiming to schedule 2 backers with their +1s at a time to share the evening. It’s possible I may have another special guest or 2 in attendance, but if so, will only make it more fun and lively.
If you're already a backer and you want to snag this Add-On experience, you can easily do so by going to the Kickstarter page and "Manage Your Pledge" here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattbusch/aladdin-3477
These Add-Ons are limited as well, so if you want the experience, you better hurry. They will sell out, too. Note that Kickstarter won't charge your card for any of this until the campaign is completed on March 4th.
I can't wait to see the film with you! It’s going to be an incredible evening!
The Movie Poster!
This week the Movie Poster was revealed! Check out this video which shows how it was created, and also shares you can get yours signed by cast & crew!

Livestream Lounge
Don't forget! This Sunday evening at 9pm EST I'll be hosting another Livestream Lounge! This week I'll be sharing a close look at the Aladdin Block Figure and his accessories, as well as the standard FIDGI Designer Toy! Plus more announcements for what to expect in the coming week!
Before I duck out of here, I wanted to share an amazing Kickstarter project:
Grimm Space: P1-Nocchio
What are the chances, another project that has a sci-fi take on a classic fairy tale?! However, I wouldn't share this just because if it wasn't good. It looks awesome!
I love everything about this! The art reminds me of Bill Watterson, and I mean that in the best way possible, as he's the master! Well written, beautiful color! I definitely backed it!
Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frankthewriter/grimm-space-pinocchio
But hurry! Only a week left!
Thank you!!!
Thank you again for your support and continuing to spread the word! Word of mouth is all we have, so super appreciated!
I'll see you with James Sunday night in the Lounge!
