"So what if they're small? Some women prefer small wings. What did Dolores want, quantity or quality? She wants 'em big? _MARRY THE SPACE SHUTTLE, YA SHREW!!!"_ 🤣🤣🤣
"ALBATROSS!!!" "Just be glad your woman didn't leave you for an ALBATROSS!" "My pewny kiwi wings weren't good enough for Delores. Oh no, no... she had to have an ALBATROSS! With great, big, LOOONNNGGG wings!" "He was on hormones. You heard me, read my beak: HORMONES!!!" "So what if their small. Some women prefer small wings. What did Delores want? Quantity or quality?" "She wants them big? Marry the Space Shuttle, you Shrew!" "Oh, my Delores!"
This clip is just too funny! I watched the full special (A Wish for Wings that Work) for the first time last year, and it is hilarious! I didn't know what I was missing. Robin Williams was incredible as George the Kiwi in this scene - may he rest in peace and may his legacy live on forever.
i was so obsessed with this movie(?) as a kid! my parents loved the comic it was based on and soon after seeing this i started reading that too...most of it went way over my head as a kid there's something about this short that's just so charming to me. it's comfy but also weird as hell, and the animation is really cute. and there's a robin williams cameo, can't go wrong with that!
I can't believe i didn't know about this! Robin Williams!!! I miss him all over again!! But damn if I'm not laughing too! That Kiwi!!! He should have had his own movie!
Dustin Hoffman as the cockroach too! Steven Spielberg was an executive producer for this special and was directing HOOK at the time, and decided that he wanted to pull in Hoffman and Williams to do voices. So during a break in shooting, he pulled them into a small studio to record their lines.
I miss Bloom County!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Opus, Opus, wherefore art thou, Opus? My philosophical friend and favorite flightless bird........... Though you do look more like a Puffin....
Sometimes, actors/directors/etc have a contract with a specific studio, but still do favors for friends working for another studio at the time. In order to not be in breach of contract, they will go uncredited. Uncredited does not always equal unpaid. Dustin Hoffman voiced Milquetoast the cockroach, and Spielberg was executive producer... both uncredited.
I remember watching this when it was on TV the first time (I'm a huge Bloom County fan). I LOVED it! Was it ever once but that one time? I just got it on DVD...my god, the memories!
Here's something you may or may not know: Milquetoast the cross-dressing cockroach is voiced by the legendary Dustin Hoffman (who is unfortunately uncredited for his role in this special).
