...just amazing...Rosetta Patton was Jimbo's nanny, and she never saw any of the money Charlie made, so this album is kind of a tribute for her." The Zippers are also working on a rendition of "Under the Sea" for a re-release of Disney's The Little Mermaid, set to premiere sometime late next year...
...guys, welcome back. Hercules is a happy reminder that the genre was once called musical comedy. Directors John Musker and Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin) could have gone for a decorous retelling of Greek mythology, but a funny thing happened on the way to decorum.

There were no carols with the word "Jesus" or "Christ," no talk of the "Lord" the "Almighty" or "G--d." And aside from the parade's title, Christmas itself went largely undiscussed during the procession. Making a rare reference to the holiday, Roger Rabbit confided in the crowd, "Let's face it, Christmas is about one thing: Toys!" So it is, Roger...
