let's play a mini game! (pure voice actor version)

this is a little different mini game than usual—instead of focusing on the dub of a famous actor, I thought it would be fun to zero in just on one voice actor and his own variety.

below is a clip from Alice in Wonderland, starring—well, someone, as the White Rabbit. without looking it up, let's figure out what other character this voice actor played!

Other than the White Rabbit, who do you think this voice actor played?

The Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood

King Hubert from Sleeping Beauty

Piglet from Winnie the Pooh

Kaa from The Jungle Book

Merlin from The Sword in the Stone

bamboozlement successful! Piglet—played by John Fiedler—is not the right answer here. The White Rabbit is voiced by Bill Thompson, a radio star and voice actor who voiced the first appearance of Scrooge McDuck, Smee in Peter Pan, five different characters in Lady and the Tramp, and King Hubert from Sleeping Beauty. Beyond his Disney work, he was a recurring presence on the popular radio show Fibber McGee and Molly and voiced Tex Avery's Droopy the Dog.

Entertainingly, because he also voiced the Dodo in Alice in Wonderland, this scene is him mostly talking to himself.

thanks for the voices, Bill!

Women stick thin and malnourished on the red carpet, and people are saying you can't point out that these women are dying because that's body shaming. Girl.

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

Must not pick that scab off. It will not in fact get rid of the scab and just create a different scab. The scab is not done cooking yet. I am completely normal about scabs. <-gripping the edges of his chair so tightly the wood is starting to crack

I choose to accept its enigmatic offer with open arms,” said Lentz, noting that it had been a year since she tried trying a bite of dragonfruit at the farmers market and her life was due for an unhinged journey.

Patting themselves on the back for seeing a film that was neither a sequel nor a prequel, the U.S. populace announced Wednesday that they were proud of themselves for watching and enjoying an original movie. “Learning the names of characters I’d never heard of before wasn’t easy, but ultimately I’m glad I did my part to support the arts,” said 34-year-old Darren Mosley of Davenport, IA, echoing the views of moviegoers across the country who braved unfamiliar faces, storylines, and settings to give a film seemingly devoid of any preexisting IP a fair shot.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
