Five of the Biggest Voices in Animation

Monsters vs. Aliens in 3-D

Coming this Sunday during the Super Bowl is a bit of "Monsters vs. Aliens" in 3-D. Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogan, Rainn Wilson and Hugh Laurie star. The film will be released on March 27th 2009.

Rob Paulson and "Yakko's World."

Rob Paulson is an actor who is currently known primarily for two things, the Mr. Opportunity series of television and radio ads for Honda and "Yakko's World".

"Yakko's World" is an amazing collaboration between the writer, Randy Rogel, director, Rusty Mills, and the performer, Rob Paulson. The second episode of "Animaniacs" begins with a globe of the world and an announcer stating, "And now, the nations of the world, brought to you by Yakko Warner!"



As phenomenal as that feat was, even more amazing are the times Paulson has performed the same feat in public, unrehearsed and without a script! You can see this version from Comic-Con 2006



and you can go here for another version.
