the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

I've discovered something interesting about a show we've been showing Kenny. It's the casting.

It's a discontinued show that appears in nearly full-episode format on Youtube. It's called "Wild Thornberrys" and it features a young girl who can speak with animals. She's traveling the world with her siblings, a chimpanzee companion, and her parents. The parents are wildlife documentarians, her older sister is a bored teen, and her younger brother is a foundling who babbles incessantly. The credits usually blast by pretty quickly, and while I caught that "Flea" from Red Hot Chili Peppers plays the yammering child it wasn't until tonight that I realized that Tim Curry voices the daft father character. As usual, Curry does an excellent job.

If cruising Youtube at 10:00 on a Friday night for clips from Rocky Horror Picture Show for your three year old is wrong - and I suspect it might possibly be - then I don't wanna be right. "Can we use your phone?"
