For some reason, I always pictured Manwe and Tulkas as black.

Hopefully, a nicer place.

“Everyone on this thread isn’t disagreeing with you because you’re correct.”

Quit digging yourself deeper. He was already a household name in the 80s, and he got regular airplay on MTV and the radio.  Heck, even my parents knew him as that guy who did “that funny Eat It song”.

Yes, I actually remember that feeling.  Figment didn’t exist in the Disney ecosystem outside of Epcot, and the only way any other kids would know about him is if they also visited Disney World.  

He looks like an old sea dog.  Get that man a pea jacket and rain hat!

My dad too.

Please, please, do not let Seth Rogen voice Figment.

And don’t forget that... whatever it was, high tech playground, maybe that they had upstairs. Most of that tech would be outdated today, but in the early 80s it was amazing.

And the Imagination pavilion was by far the best part of the original park, for kids at least.  It’s sad how much it has declined.

For some reason, they assigned this book to us in 8th grade, so yes, I did read it. I remember the rough beats of the story, but not too many details. I’ve seen the English language movie from the 30s too.

I’m looking forward to seeing this. Germany makes particularly good films about their own rather complicated history, especially the last century, but most never get released in an easily viewable format outside of western European television.

He looks like someone who would promptlt challenge you to a duel if you ever offended his hon-ah.

It deserves to be reposted, mainly to see how excited people can act about a lackluster sandwich if you pay them and put them on TV:
