Cedric (Born August 28th 2008), better known online as MoonieMuses or more simply, Moonie, is an Asian-American YouTube Animator, and Artist. Formerly a meme channel, they now make storytime animations about games and stuff.
About[]
They specialize in long form storytime animation/animation, or art centered content in general. The topics vary from personal events, things they like, or simple skits and animation memes, etc.
History[]
The channel would be created on May 5th of 2020, but the oldest public video was released on December 17th 2021. The video is titled ‘Bully Maguire plays Minecraft mod’. A video based around the then popular meme featuring Toby Maguire, who is green screened into strange scenarios, thus even leading to his most viewed video, ‘Bully Maguire vs Dream’, Noonyfu, as they were known at the time would continue to upload Bully Maguire memes until June 30th 2022, where the channel would seemingly die and lay dormant until it became active again and started uploading videos again under the rebranded name MoonieMuses on October 28th 2023, where they would then transition into a storytime animation channel.
