LOL I missed this post. Good movie.

"Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" or something like that. Or was it "Mrs.
Brisby..."? "Ms..."? I forget. Arg. I've read that book about a dozen
times, too. Good read.

Yah, that was disappointing. But after you factor in Don Bluth's successful
upset of the Walt Disney Co.'s virtual monopoly on the market, and the great
flicks both have released trying to out-do the other, it's not so bad.
And don't tell Barbara I said so, but Mrs. Brisby looked pretty hot with the
magic floating amulet. :-,

I think he was an excellent casting decision for Dances with Wolves and
Field of Dreams. Unfortunately, his role in Robin Hood and (ugh) Waterworld
were the exact same characters...

He stands...like some sort of...PAGAN GOD or DEPOSED TYRANT. Staring out
over the city he's sworn to...to stare out over... And it's evident...just
by looking at him...that he's got some PRETTY HEAVY THINGS ON HIS MIND.
