I woulda guessed Viper too because I'd heard the name in connection with electronic devices. Aargh! I was doomed on this Q -- I would have checked with the audience and been out the door, just like Christina.

Only if you 'fess up that you thought the movie 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' was about Female Masturbation...

Not the Disney version, surely.

Right, because Disney's always so clean.

I mean, have you ever REALLY listened to "A Whole New World?"

A book about the making of "Aladdin" told the story about Robin Williams coming in to prepare for his role as the Genie. The author said the movie used maybe a third of the Genie's originally scripted lines. The rest was Williams's improvs. The author also said that a large portion of what was recorded would not have been suitable for a Disney animated feature. I'll bet they burned those tapes.

Harlan Ellison, the SF writer, tells a hilarious story about being called into Disney Studios during the '60s to work on a unknown project (which became "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"). The short version is that he met a number of his SF cohorts, called in for the same not-then-defined project, and they all proceeded at lunch to discuss directing a porno film starring the Disney characters, complete with voices and appropriate sound effects. Unknown to them all, Roy Disney and some of the directors were also present, in the raised section of the dining area behind some decorative greenery. The SF authors returned to their offices after lunch to find pink slips on their desks.

I presume the book discussed the change in the opening song's lyrics.

I've heard this story before. For a company that wants people to laugh, they don't have much of a sense of humor.

[clem21]

That is all.

Did he get them at Fredrick's of Hollywood perchance? Maybe Roy wanted a private lingerie show with all these writers wearing only the pink slips he got for them.

Judging by option (A), I'd say the writers considered that, as well.

My gut is on Stealth, but I'll ask the audience.

ATA (21)

That's not good. I'll have to PAF as well.

So you'd have us believe you'd ignore a massive audience spike and use up another lifeline? You're either a genius or full of crap!
