Yes! All-American Rabbit was a fave of mine... Still don't understand the bit with the Mr. Big master villain and his pet vulture when the final reveal of who Mr. Big was.
Also, anyone remember Peter No-Tail?
And another one, a live action starring Robin Williams called The Best of Times/The Worst of Times? It's about how Robin's character, now grown-up and married calls his old college QB teammate. Racked with guilt over costing his team the win by muffing the play back in college, Robin gets the crazy idea to try and redeem himself with his team by setting up a rematch of his now grown-up teammates against their old intrastate rivals. Twas a good film.

Is Wish Upon A Star the one where this crazy guy goes to Mars? I love that one.

A guy at the gym mentions this ridiculously obsure movie to me a few weeks ago and since I havent been able to escape it, its everywhere I look, its the strangest thing... Jon Lithgow overload!

Hehe! Thanks for sharing! I think you will like it! :smile: I finally saw it a few days ago, and instantly thought it was a keeper. As for John Lithgow, he cracked me up on Conan O'Brien's show years ago: Conan took an audience member and sent them into a machine to turn them into a star, and out the other end they came, in the form of John Lithgow...and said, "You made me John Lithgow? Lithgow's good, but he's not a star..." :smile:
