That's why he has the huge credit at the end of the movie for "Original Music". But nobody reads credits... ...which brings me to Today's Anecdote. Bobby improvised to a temp version of the film which was partially rendered and partially still wireframe. In place of the credits, I put in some film that just said "Blah, Blah, Blah". On one of the tracks when the temp credits came up he started singing "Blah, blah, blah..." as a part of the music, so we re-timed the real credits to match his blahs. It is through this convoluted path that I lay claim to having written lyrics which Bobby McFerrin sang. --Craig -- good@pixar.com Make Welfare as hard to get as Bulding Permits
