[edit] Upcoming articles

I've added a valuable piece of trivia about Penny, please don't remove it or alter the Trivia section just yet. I'm working on another character article similar to that of Madame Medusa, I want to make one for Miss Bianca and one for Penny, after that, Rufus and Bernard will make interesting articles because there's so much background on them. All trivia related to Penny will be able to be used in the newer article later, but leave it here for now. All information for Madame Medusa can go on the newer article for her. --Lyzoth 02:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Any information regarding Mr. Snoops: is now welcome in his section under Madame Medusa's page. Since his article information is still little, I figured it'd be better to have him in Medusa's page, at least for now. The same will go to Brutus and Nero later on. Someone who is good at giving pages their ratings, I'd appreciate it if they'd like to go and look at Madame Medusa's rather complete page (except for the Brutus and Nero section) and give it a rating.--Lyzoth 19:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Information of Penny, also now welcomed at her page here: Penny. I'm thinking about adding Rufus and Morningside Orphanage as sections of this page. What do you think? --Lyzoth 19:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Penny

Who plays Penny's voice? (I recently look at it... don't ask. Michelle Stacy?)

[edit] Controversial Characters

Is it just me or does Snoops seem like a stereotypical jew? He has the hair, facial features, and voice of a jew. This would explain why he didn't want to use Penny for the mission. He obviously had some sort of complex financial plan that showed they could still be profitable by hiring a little person. Is there a reason why the only Jewish character in the movie is a second- rate villain. I'm personally suprised this aspect of the film has not caused much of a public stir.

Also, one of my favorite characters, Luke, is depicted as an alcoholic. For comedic purposes he is shown breathing fire after having a swig of whatever tonic he was holding. However alcoholism is nothing to take lightly, especially in a children's movie. The film seems to show the viewer that alcohol solves problems instead of creating them. Twice alcohol helps the characters. It serves as a fuel source for Medusa's boat and an energy drink for Evinnrude. I know alcohol can be harmful but the young children watching this film do not. I seriously hope Disney edits this scene in future editions of the movie.

I seriously hope Disney isn't stupid enough to do any alternations to a 30 year old children's classic the way they did to Fantasia or Make Mine Music. Honestly, people should stop over-analyzing and getting offended over little things in films, books or whatever, children will not pay attention to that. And just because Luke got drunk once, doesn't mean he is an alcoholic, same thing with Uncle Waldo in The Aristocats. About Mr. Snoops, so what if he was modeled after a jew? I seriously doubt Disney was trying to offend anyone and I don't get why people so often thing stereotyping is a bad thing, it doesn't have to be, estereotypes are a part of culture, it's like saying that the French love bread, nothing wrong with that even if it isn't true for every Frenchman, a bad stereotype would be "all Middle-Easterns are terrorists", now that's something to be offended about. 67.174.4.138 21:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

There's an awful lot of trivia on this page compared to the other Disney movies of the era...could we get some sources? Many of these claims are not well-known facts, and I suggest we remove some if no sources are provided/can be found.--Marysunshine 03:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted some of the less-notable and relevant claims. --Marysunshine 04:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

A lot of new sections have been added as well as separate character pages that helped home some of this scattered Trivia. 67.174.4.138 18:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else see the amazing resemblense between miss bianca and duchess of the aristocats? although i didn t originally watch them in english it somehow doesn t seem odd they have the same voice..also they both quite remind me of marion of robin hood..FC
