Welcome to fine tuning with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop owner comes to animation news and

commentary. I'm Enter Tamer writer Jim Hill and Mr. Taylor, whose writings on the industry you can

regularly read over on the rap, and whose musings on the Mission Impossible movies you can listen to

on Light the Fuse, the official Mission Impossible podcast. He and I are recording this week's show

on Sunday, September 17th, 2023. Now, this episode will actually go live on Tuesday, September 19th,

which is Ernie Sarbella's 74th birthday. Now, you got to interview Mr. Sarbella at that Lion King

event we did years and years ago, right? Yeah, that was a fun event. That was actually when my wife

was moving out to California, we met at that event and I brought her home after that. So yeah,

that was a lot of fun. It was a little bit it was a little bit of a chaotic like they want you

to watch Rivers of Life kind of event, but you know, we had fun didn't we? We met that lovely

um, porcupine at dinner. We did. In fact, every so often I will see Disney, you know, evidently,

he's their go-to animal. Whatever they do, press for Animal King Mary, try to out the porcupine.

He's so cute. He was like a kind of, I don't know what he was, he was a, he was a porcupine

with a long tail seemingly lives in the jungle and he has a big pink nose and he was so cute.

He was, he was and let's be honest, hey, Mr. Sibelius cute himself. Yes, but I want to wish

this Broadway legend the happiest of birthdays and speaking of Broadway and beloved Disney voice

actors Gutenberg the musical began previews at the James Earl Jones Theater this past Friday,

September 15th and that stage show stars Andrew Reynolds and friend of the show Josh Gad.

I heard from a friend who went to the final dress for Gutenberg the musical that it's

funny as hell. They were selling out already. This is selling out already. I saw you. Oh, okay,

damn it. I better get tickets. Officially opens on October 12th and in limited engagement,

20-week run ends on January 28th of next year and if what Mr. Taylor says the truth, get your tickets
