That’s right: “Animal Crackers” is something of a musical.
Throw in Harvey Fierstein as an obese “gypsy” woman (the rare part that’s potentially offensive in at least three different ways), Raven-Symoné as the Ferran Adrià of dog food, and Sylvester Stallone as the movie’s very own Groot (his trisyllabic performance as the iron-headed daredevil Bullet-Man has big “someone just told Sly how much Vin Diesel made on “Guardians of the Galaxy” energy) and you have… well, probably not much left in the film’s $17 million budget. Judging by the finished product, Sava left little of that to the animation, and let original songwriters Toad the Wet Sprocket, Huey Lewis and the News, and Michael Bublé fight to the death for the last few bucks.
'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Review: Hero Wrestles with Place in Universe in Emotional, Unsteady SequelĮmmy Predictions 2021: Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series - Are More Surprises In Store?Ģ021 Emmys Winners List: 'Ted Lasso,' 'The Crown,' and 'The Queen's Gambit' Lead the Night 'The King's Man' Review: Matthew Vaughn's Spy Prequel Is Incoherent, Cynical, and Dull Huntington - the actor seizing on a role that would allow him to split the difference between Gandalf and Liberace - while Danny DeVito agreed to be a hot-dog addicted clown named Chesterfield, and Gilbert Gottfried added to this Avengers-worthy assemblage of comic talent as the diminutive henchman Mario Zucchini, who speaks in the third person and insists that Horatio actually works for him. Ian McKellan was cast as Owen’s vain and scheming circus MC Horatio P. John Krasinski - at that point still two years shy of stepping into the Captain America machine and transforming from Jim Halpert to Jack Ryan - signed on to play Owen Huntington, a blue-haired yuppie who dreamed of joining his uncles’ circus before life got in the way, the big top collapsed, and he settled for a job at his father-in-law’s dog biscuit factory (Emily Blunt naturally agreed to voice Owen’s wife and Wallace Shawn took a gig as her old-fashioned dad).
