If you don't understnad this joke, allow me to explain.  And even if you
*do* understand, I'm gonna explain it anyway!
This is a reference to a BeetleJuice episode where a "good" fairy comes
down to help bring "niceness" to BJ's show:
Fairy- "I'm from the Beurau of Sweetness And Prissiness.  Henforth to be
known as B.S. and P."
BeetleJuice- "B.S. & P.?  Can you *say* that on Television?"

If that isn't "leading", I don't know what is...

	I put the episode titles into my TTA guide as soon as I got
them from Robert, and "Best of Buster Day" comes out to be the 97th
original episode.  If HOW I SPENT MY VACATION is really going to be
carved up into three episodes, then BoBD is the last new episode we'll
see in the afternoon (and the TINY TOON CHRISTMAS will be the last new
episode, period).

She looks great wet.  Nothing like "..your uncanny resemblance to a

Our pal Frank has a pretty big role in *Aladdin*.  I won't spoil it
for you, but you ought to be able to figure it out in about 1 nanosecond.

Also, the Live Action References had no toon personalities that I ever 
heard of.  Guess Sherri Stoner just doesn't look Arabian enough.

I encourage all of you to go see this movie.  It is very funny and very
non-Disney-ish.  I laughed all through it.

  Personal guess: Because a Montana Max summer vacation would be dead boring.
To wit--

[Cut to Max's summer vacation. He's lying in a floating chair in the pool,
wearing a pair of sunglasses, sipping a drink from a glass held by Grovely the
Butler in swim trunks. Fade out.]

[Cut to Max's summer vacation, part II. Max goes to the movies. He's the only
one in the theatre, having bought out all the tickets for his own private
screening. "Associate with THAT riff-raff? HA!" Fade out.]

[Cut to Max's summer vacation, part III. Max goes to the beach. Of course,
it's a private resort on the French Riviera somewhere, or maybe a personal
tropical island. Nobody else is around for MILES, except for Max's entourage.
Fade out.]

  See? Borrrrrrrrrrring. Certainly not as fun as Buster and Babs and Plucky
and Hamton and everyone else. May have made for a cute running gag (placard
flies on the screen, reading "Meanwhile, Montana Max enjoys his vacation..."),
but for the most part there's not much to do with Max, methinks. Especially
since Elmyra was busy hunting for kitties...

  Agreed. Three nice all-around cartoons, and a fun episode overall.

Rob's three bits to follow...

Act #1: "Compromising Principals". Cute. The "room changes once Yosemite Sam
leaves" bit was amusing, especially the economics/casino scenario. I kinda wish
the audience was shown how the quick-changes were done, tho.

Act #2: "Maid to Re-order". Cute again, though I wish for one more time with
Buster 'n Babs' butler and maid routines. Drooling Babs Fanboys will be
begging Paul Osze for a GIF of Babs-as-Greta, since she has such huge...assets.

Act #3:

  It was decent, especially Buster's "isn't this assignment dumb?" comments
throughout.  B-)  I was almost expecting Buster to pull the switch on Dizzy,
since TTA _might_ have the nerve to electrocute a toon on TV.  B-)

  I'll be honest, I didn't notice a voice change at all (other than thinking
"Buster/Charlie Adler has a thing for southern accents, doesn't he?"). If
Kassir's been doing that much voicework, I'm impressed as punch (again).

  Overall, three solid, fun shorts. A cool episode.

So perhaps the rule is one voice per performer in a short?  Well, in shorts,
Adler has done both Buster and Roderick; Alaskey has been both the reminis-
cing adolescent Plucky and his father; MacNeille has done both Babs and Rhu-
bella; Paulsen has done both Arnold and Concord.  Probably Summer has done
two voices in a short somewhere, but the only cartoon where I remember two
of her is "Flea for Your Life," which was full-length.

I can't see why Souci, and only Souci, would have a contract allowing her
to do both voices in a full-length cartoon but not in a short.  Maybe the
skunk lobby threatened punitive action if TTA compared a smell of a toon
flatus to the fragrance of a toon skunk.
