I was watching Robin Hood last night (the Disney version, natch) and it made me wonder about the future. Prince John is so ridiculous in that movie. In 800 years will there be Disney movies with a George Bush orangutan? Probably not (though not for lack of Disney... Disney will never end), but its an interesting thought. What will they be saying about us in 800 years? Hopefully its told with jaunty tunes! Lay that country on me, babe!
Can we talk about Phil Harris for a moment (Wikipedia tells me he was born Wonga Phil Harris...)? He's the one singing. You may also recognize his voice as Baloo from the Jungle Book or Thomas O'Malley in the Aristocats. I think he makes these movies. He also dates them. When's the last time you heard someone yell "Take me home, Daddy!" in a song? This blog will now officially be about how awesome Phil Harris is. Amazing musician, fabulous voice actor and he's funny! He's always saying awesome things like "roll with me, baby". I don't know, I guess when I think of "cool", I think of Phil Harris. Perhaps this is why I am so uncool? There's a thought. Sixties comedy is so great. Its dirty but all tongue-in-cheek. Just silliness and fun. Phil Harris' voice alone is just cool. Get him and Dean Martin together and I'm roflmfao. Team him up with Scatman Crothers for Aristocats? Coolness overload, baby.

First... I don't know what kind of a name "Wonga" is, but it's awesome. And I totally agree. Phil Harris and Thurl Ravenscroft are my two favorite Disney voice actors.
