Putting the Prickle to Mr. Pricklepants
We all have our stories about pricklepants, especially you gentlemen in the audience, but this hullabaloo is not about that pricklepants but about Mr. Pricklepants, the Shakespearean hedgehog featured all too briefly in Toy Story 3.
Brett Nachman, who writes a column called Mouse House for busy film site FusedFilm, is doing his part to raise pubic awareness of Mr. Pricklepants by sharing official audition videos not only of the hedgehog but also of Buttercup the Unicorn and Lotso the Bear whose strawberry-scented fur distracts victims from the hatred in his heart.
Mr. Pricklepants was voiced by Timothy Dalton, yes, that Timothy Dalton, the one who played James Bond, and of course Lotso was voiced by Ned Beatty, whose famous scene in Deliverance many people wish had been endured (or perhaps enjoyed) by Lotso, instead.
There's nothing new in these videos and Toy Story 3 is not the most topical of topics, but as September strikes I like to revisit summer cinema so I can calculate how much all those DVDs (released just in time for the holidays) are going to cost me.
For Toy Story 3, according to Amazon, it'll be about twenty bucks, nearly what I paid for the popcorn at Cinemark.
