This isn't the first time he's satirized Disney; other Smigel/Disney cartoons were "Walt Disney's Titey", based on the Titanic. It had the actual voices of Jason Alexander (Titey), Molly Ringwald (Anne Frank), Gilbert Gottfried (Napoleon) and Whoopi Goldberg (The Iceberg). Another one I remember was a talk show that had Geppetto as the host. He was "interviewing" Sharon Stone, and apparently her Basic Instinct actions were similar to, um, Pinocchio telling a lie.

But with a little voice-over to change what Uncle Remus said. (Not exactly flattering). I think the funniest thing was taking a pot shot at Disney for all their direct-to-video Cheapquels.

If your posts aren't being taken in the same light, than I suspect they are generally being read as serious. -Jeff

Originally Posted By u k fan Just watched it! I thought it was amusing, but not hilarious. There were some good moments though, especially all of the sequels at the beginning!!!
