Sorry to post another video (two in one day) but this one was just brought to my attention reading a board on IMDb and I had to comment on it... blog it.
Mom just a couple of weeks ago came home with the DVD and she and I sat down and watched it last Saturday night.
Mind you, I hadn't seen the movie in a few years. But the second you'd hear Fats say "We're gonna be a staaaaar." Well.... yeah. Creep out time. About that voice. It's indeed that of Anthony Hopkins. On the film, he worked in tandem with ventriloquist Dennis Alwood, who appears in an in depth interview on the extra "Fats and Friends" on the DVD release. Alwood trained Hopkins how to throw his voice and did most if not all of the manipulation of the dummy, where the voice was all Hopkins. Alwood worked Fats and did some of "the voice" on the DVD extra, but you could tell it wasn't the same voice. I've also heard Hopkins talk as Fats in an interview so yes... I know for certain it was him entirely.
I hadn't seen this particular trailer (TV spot) since I was, no joke, 12 going on 13 years old. I remember it SO well. I was staying the night (my parents were out of town for the weekend) at my grandmother's house on the lake (there's boooodies in Lake Meeeeeelody...) in Indiana, and it was the middle of the night. I believe just around or right after midnight.
My aunt and I were watching television and here comes ol' Fats reciting his little poem.
My aunt has had a fear and loathing of dolls since she was little. She was around 19 at the time I believe when this came out. She completely just blanched and freaked out. Me too. We didn't go to bed right away like we'd planned on doing when that commercial aired... ehm... needless to say. *whimper*
Actually this is my second viewing since the one I described above... this trailer is included in "Fats and Friends" at the very end. This ended up being pulled and another one used, as kids all over America were getting freaked and parents were calling in and saying you know what you're scaring my kid change the trailer! LOL!!!
Anyway, yeah. Nice to see you again, Fats old boy. *shudder*
