I'm saying Steph is a diamond in the rough.

I'm six minutes in and you've already repeated unsubstantiated ugly rumors about two popular public figures. Somewhere, Snopes is weeping.

EDIT: Disney and Michael Jackson. Disney fixed his cartoons after getting complaints about ethnic stereotype gags; George Lucas hasn't done that. And Jackson was clearly just being blackmailed by fraudsters.

Yeah, that documentary cleared up why there were the errors in Rescuers Down Under (a movie I really like). At least twice the eagle feather is in the wrong place/vanishes or is in the wrong layer of the background. The fact they were digitally composing everything and under a time crunch and still learning makes it more understandable (it's the type of thing you expect in anime but not a Disney film)

Oh, yeah, I was never truly on the Jackson is a pedophile bandwagon. I just make the joke when the joke is there.

Blech, TANGLED. Did not care for that one.

I think it was the smirking postmodern attitude that marred it for me -- it was like watching Dreamworks trying to do old-school Disney rather than Disney stretching its arms to embrace a new medium.

The animation work overall was stellar and the animal characters were quite funny -- although Pascal ran out of things to do between midpoint and climax -- but aside from "When Will My Life Begin," the songs fell flat for me ("Mother Knows Best" pales beside "Poor Unfortunate Souls") and the dialogue was almost physically painful at times.

You're welcome, mate. Better late than never eh?

I love Duck Tales

His stand up was a brutally honest form of comedy that I found rather entertaining. Enjoyed Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji (to a point), Bicentennial Man (in small doses) and Patch Adams. He had a guest spot on Law and Order: SVU in which he played a man who was a domestic terrorist (of sorts) and enjoyed psychological games.

However, Aladdin was always my favorite, and probably the first film that made me pause and recognize the actor behind the voice. I was amazed by his talent from then on.

Also, seeing him do improv work on Whose Line Is It Anyway was another wonderful showcase of his comedic talent.

He will be missed
