Mrs & Mr. Merlin Dancing A Bolero
Hi Everyone!!!
Here is my latest video hot off the YouTube presses!!
This is an 8 minute, spin-off from the Cosmos & Nova Trick or Treating video, where The Merlins first appeared. Please Watch in 4K and Fullscreen The stars, Mr. & Mrs. Merlin were made by Wynx Works in Second Life and the ducks , as always by Vinnie Baxter. The music is my own that I composed on my Garage Band. Thank you to Dale Innis for his wonderful portrayal of Mrs. Merlin!
Thank you to James Ottobre for flower pictures used on their canopy bed and bedspread:)
Thank you to Second Life for my home sim, LINC Island, for the last 17 years, where almost all the scenes you see were shot.
LINC City was built by Natascha Randt ( may she rest in peace,) and it stands on an upper level of LINC Island.
As always these videos are for ages 2 to 102. Viewers outside that age group might not appreciate it as much:)
Please watch on YouTube and feel free to Like & Comment (and subscribe!) on my Youtube Channel. I am a very tiny but dedicated Content Creator:) Your support means a lot

Digital Rabbit Hole 
What a wonderful funny sweet innocent story. I love how you’re finding these stories all over LINC Island! And then presenting them to us so well. The words, music, narration are all so great; thank you…
And it was a pleasure playing Mrs. Merlin (even if I’m not a very good shark driver!) ☺️

Ahhh thank you Dale for commenting and enjoying..I could not have done it without you..Your portrayal of Mrs. Merlin was adorable:) and as I said in the movie, your shark driving skills were very impressive:) I have to be honest…when you made that whip-tail turn, I actually was a little afraid:) but it all turned out well in the end!! I too loved seeing the LINC Island sim so colorful and on display:)

Wow thank you soulkin. I bet you remember hearing the last musical piece on a poem I recently wrote, but since they were in a sort of country mood, it went well with the others I had just composed. So happy you loved it all!!

Ruco! So glad you watched this and loved it and you’re right…I’m getting into Family entertainment in my older older years jaja. This was so much fun to make..trying to film the shark scene was hysterical..Mrs. M. was driving and I was shooting and it was so funny, tears were streaming down my face from laughing and I could barely see what was on the screen. As I say on facebook, “This is my contribution to help you escape from the bummer that is the world right now.” I hope it helped you a bit Ruco!!! ❤️ Much love and thank you..let’s talkl!!

How precious, dear Karima and Dale. What a wonderful way to celebrate your tenth anniversary of working together. I love the Merlins. How creative to have them go back to where they had their honeymoon and on a flying carpet with velcro, no less. Loved that touch. The background was so full of beautiful bright colors, and I loved the catchy music, Karima. Nice job on the flower’s swimwear, and I enjoyed the swim on the shark. Great idea to put a harness on the shark, and it was sweet that they spent time floating on their backs. One of my favorite parts was the swing that she got onto. The costumes were amazing for every scene. I especially loved the clothes that they danced in and the lights that glittered around them. Of course, the baby unicorn who could not love Lilly Bell? After getting some duck food with the little duck on top, I enjoyed the way they were anxious to return home, as we always are. The carpet was full of the samplings of their wonderful adventures. I enjoyed the scene at the pond, the lily pads and flowers, and especially the ducks starting to fly as Mr. Merlin added some magic dust. The ending was perfect, with everyone cozy at home, laughing and enjoying the memories of their trip. What a sweet idea and a wonderful fairy tale. One for all ages. I always enjoy your work, Karima and Dale, and I want to thank you for this wonderful entertainment for all ages. With all the things going on in our world today, it is a joy to see such love, joy, a sense of family, pleasing one another, and caring about all the things in our world. So glad that you two met and that your creative work has touch the lives of so many, including me and my husband. Thank you again and sending my love and appreciation to you both. Scott and Joni
A special thank you to all the other people who have participated in the making of this delightful movie and how they, too, have blessed lives. Much love and blessings!

Oh Joni,
as always I just loved to read your impressions after watching the Merlins.
I think it was so cute you thought it was Dale & I celebrating our anniversary of friendship, but actually Dale and I are celebrating 13 years of knowing each other in the virtual (1 year in the real:) The Melins have been married 10 years and Mr. Merlin went all out for this one:)
I just decided to make this spinoff of the Trick or Treat movie about the ducklings, because so many of my viewers loved the Merlins in it, and from what I see in this one, it looks like they are a populary little couple, snowleopard and hedgehog:)
Thank you for all the wonderful things you said about touching your life as well as Scott’s and others.
I am seeing a need for storytelling, for comforting, reassuring and remembering about such basic things as love, respect and generosity. If I can convey these in short, fun, family videos then I think at my age, I can still contribute something.. If I can entertain you, I have touched you in a good positive way. Thank you Joni and Scott for being so supportive of what I do here. It means the world to me as you do. I want you to know you are in my daily prayers, and I do hope these experts you met with recently can turn your health issues all around. Dale too is very thankful to you both for all the appreciation for Mrs. Merlin although next year, I think I will send her a paid free week to Shark Driving School just to bone up a little on her skills haha.
Love you Joni
thank you so much for this amazing comment, here and on YouTube too
