    I wish films became open source after a short period, that is, I want to see studios eventually release all their archival materials for every film so that fans can release their own cuts. Eventually it’d just be normal to see perfected versions of films. As cultural norms change the work can be tailored or lampooned to stay relevant and valuable.

    He apparently did this a lot. There was 16 hours of voice lines for the genie in Aladdin that couldn’t be used, mostly because they were dirty jokes.

      Batty from Fern Gully is no exception, and the sound guys can’t stop laughing while the director keeps cutting in to remind him to rein it in. Again. And again. And again. 🤣

      That’s not surprising. Have you ever seen him do stand-up or be interviewed? The dude was a maniac full of non-stop energy.
