AGM is among the very best movies that *any* Disney arm has ever
brought out. Who'd have thought that I could grow to like Max and the Goof
after DA's "Goof Troop". Lots of character stuff in that flick.

For those of us not Geographically Disadvantaged, the SanDiego Comicon
occurs from July 4th thru the 7th at the San Diego Convention Center, and
I believe Turner's showing up with bells on. Last year they were asked
a number of questions by reporters from rec.arts.animation who'd spent the
better part of a year listening to all of us spout off about the 'Kats, and if
any of us are so inclined, perhaps they could do the same this year.
