Sep 10 2009'Toy Story 3' Casting: Timothy Dalton Won't Be Evil This Time
Fixing the series' dearth of gentlemanly British characters, Timothy Dalton will be providing the voice of Mr. Pricklepants in Pixar's Toy Story 3. From Empire:
Dalton will voice Mr. Pricklepants, a hedgehog toy with thespian tendencies. How he fits into the story, we’re not sure (could he be the story’s villain?), but if Dalton is allowed to keep his accent, he will be the first Brit to grace the Toy Story franchise, unless you count Andi Peters’ cameo in Toy Story 2. But we don’t.
I'm just happy a man known for playing James Bond and other similarly dignified characters now has to add the role of "Mr. Pricklepants" to his IMDb page. The only thing that would be better is if we found a way to get Sean Connery to play a character called "Professor Sillybottom."

i went to Blockbuster last night and asked the clerk if I could rent "Batman Forever"?
He said, "no, you have to bring it back tomorrow."

Dang just a day after recommending Timothy Dalton for a potentially major role he gets cast in a potentially major role. Friggin' eerie.

i think i once rented Mr. Pricklepants. I found it in the back room of the local video store - the one with the dark curtain covering the doorway...

@ 2, what's the joke about Andi Peters?
