assistant: As with any Multi-Billion dollar corporation, you need to take
        anything the say with a grain of salt.  If it is dumbed, you
        will see minor changes... I would like to quote something from
        the Recent Gatchaman OVA (Original Video Animation = Straight
        to Video Release).
        In a scene where the Gatchman team is up against the main
        villian Katse, the suddenly realize it is a Hologram standing
        before them.
        In the Original Japanese it goes...
        "A hologram!  Where could Katse be."
        In the ADVisions dub the line goes...
        "Don't worry team, it's only a Hologram."
        A minor change, yes, but it sets a whole new, campy, tone to the
        scene.  Many minor changes like this can cause the entire story
        line to change.
        Actually it is one of the many audio tracks on the Kiki's
        LD from the Ghibli Box set.  There are dubs from
        Totoro, Porco Rossa, Laputa, and Kiki's.
        Actually I find that animation fandom is quite polarized, like
        Star Trek fandom.  Alot of Anime fans HATE Disney, alot of Disney
        fans HATE anime.  On a mailing list I am on, they are still in the
        great Lion King/Jungle Emporer Debate, which I grow quite tired of
        because I hate both.
        Well the only think I was thinking when watching Pocahontas,
        "Boy this looks alot like Sleeping Beauty.... I wish I was
        watching Sleeping Beauty right now."

Write your reply.

assistant: Clearly you never tried to eat what they served at Goofy's Grill.
Goofy's was to McDonalds what McDonalds is to the Coral Isle Cafe.
I'm not sure just why I'm so opposed to even the McD's French Fry cart
in the Magic Kingdom and so accepting of a full McDonalds at Downtown
Disney.  It just doesn't bother me as much there.
I do have to acknowledge that McD's is for many youngsters (and others)
not yet possesed of a discriminating palate the epitome of exciting
dining. Who am I--indeed who is Disney--to deny them their most magical
of meals?
Will I eat there?  Probably not--never so long as my wife is with me.
OTOH, I'll probably never ride Dumbo, take a jet-ski out on Bay Lake, or
play a round of golf, yet I think you'll likely agree that these tastes
are also appropriate inclusions in a Park that aspires to be the grand
keeper of the magic for all.

So am I.  I'm more surprised that they aired it so soon.  I figured that
they would sooner or later but, not this soon.  I saw it at the theater
when it can out.   I also picked it up when it came out on video.  It is
truely a well made movie.
I rate it a 10 too.   It's been a while since a real good family movie
has come out.  I can watch it over and over again and still laugh at the

about three times the price they are across the street at P&P.
My condolances.
Where you from, boy?  I live in Chattanooga and drive past the Krispy
Kreme bakery on my way to work.
So who needs an excuse?  *I* sure don't need kids along to enjoy the
Parks.  It is a whole lot of fun to share the place with others who
haven't seen it before, but they don't have to be young and related.
You see!  Even my wife, who hates both McDonlads *and* small children,
would rather the kids within earshot be happy.

For shirts, log onto EMuck and ask for Belle.  A web page will be posted

EntertainMuck is a text-based activity zone on the Internet, where

of others which are not.  To visit, send your web browser to
