Re: Broadcasts Planned for the Movie

I found the Discovery Family Channel's plan to have both "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the Super Mario Bros. movie in their programming within seconds of each other today very interesting since the actor who played Mario in the Super Mario Bros. movie (Bob Hoskins) played the detective Edd...

Re: Spider-Man Producer wants to make animated Mario movie!

No Walker Boone too much like Hoskins. Needs to be a happy voice. Everyone should agree though that Charlie Day of Sunny should be Toad. His voice is scratchy loud obnoxious and yet enjoyable.
