...Murphy sold Imagine on his idea two years ago. The result is a visual tour de force. The puppeteers of the Will Vinton Studios, best known for the California Raisins, have created a colorful 3-D universe of intricately animated clay figures expressive enough to almost pop off the screen. Making sure they land in viewers' hearts is the mission of a writing staff led by executive producers Larry Wilmore and Steve Tompkins (two former stand-ups who met while writing for In Living Color). They've made Goody, voiced by Murphy, a gruff but endearing tour guide through...

It can be anybody, from people who go here [Harvard], to very famous screen and stage actors, that you can just pick up things and steal [from...
Anytime now, if they haven't already, they are going to blow up all over the charts. I don't promise, but I hope. Until then, wait for their movie: they will soon be on the big screen, in Glenn Ballard's forthcoming Clubland. Oh yes, Dolby Surroundsound...
