THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!

Had a good supporting role in one of the best thrillers of all time, The Omen (1974).
And he was excellent as the evil butler in Titanic. I didn’t know it was the same guy.
No idea he was in Tron. His catalog is enormous! RIP

Not a person, but RIP the Choco Taco.

Klondike is pulling the plug on a old favorite from my youth.

Last time I had one of those it was disappointing. The shell was limp and rubbery and there was barely any ice cream. I think it’s time to let this one fade away imo.

Yeah, I never cared for those. There are much better frozen treats available.

Dang, what a long career, and what a long life.

I would argue that Poor Unfortunate Souls is what brought Disney cartoons back from the grave. The 70s & 80s were just pathetic compared to earlier times (though I did enjoy the Robin Hood one), and that was a massive villain song. Great casting on Ursula there. Made it like a Broadway show/opera

That’s a pretty strong statement up against Under The Sea and Part Of Your World.

I agree that The Little Mermaid ushered in a new era of on-screen success for Disney, but I’m not sure it’s because of Poor Unfortunate Souls, specifically.

That said, RIP to Pat Carroll all the same.

Oliver and Company brough Disney back from the brink, though not as good as what came after

Yeah, that was pretty good, too.

But I would say that Poor Unfortunate Souls really sold the film. The villains were always what made the films… I mean, in Sleeping Beauty, that dragon at the end scared the crap out of me. Drama! I mean, yes, you need the whole schmear, but I think one needs a strong antagonist – that’s my main point.

I was going to comment that this line was going to get someone on the list. Then I noticed who made the comment. Then I realized it was a serious post, not a pun. Or both?
