Piglet Remembering John Fiedler (1925-2005) Jim Hill remembers that great big talent who provided Piglet's very small voice: Character actor John Fiedler, who passed away this past Saturday at the age of 80. by Jim Hill You know, it's kind of bizarre that John Fiedler -- the original voice of Piglet -- actually died within 24 hours of Paul Winchell's passing. "Why bizarre?," you ask. Well, you see, there's this story that I had originally wanted to tell as part of yesterday's Winchell tribute. About the very last time Paul was hired to provide Tigger's voice for a Disney animated feature. A project that was then entitled "Winnie the Pooh and the Family Tree." Winchell's first (and only) recording session for this movie came in the Spring of 1998. And -- as the guys in the booth listened to the obvious rasp in Paul's voice -- it quickly became apparent that the 76-year-old performer no longer sounded like Tigger. I mean, sure, Winchell had originated this character's voice back in that 1968 Disney featurette, "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day." But now -- over 30 years later -- this voiceover veteran could no longer produce Tigger's distinctive bouncy, trouncy sound. So -- after that single session -- Paul was let go from the project. And Disney eventually brought in vocal pro Jim Cummings, who was already doing Pooh's voice for "Family Tree." And -- given that Jim had already been doing Tigger's voice (On various Disney television shows and/or for Disney Consumer Products. Where it had proven to be very cost effective to hire a Paul Winchell sound-alike, rather than pay full price for the really-for-real Paul Winchell ... Anyway ... ) -- it only made sense to replace Winchell with Cummings. Of course, what Disney hadn't counted on was all the bad publicity that would erupt as a direct result of Paul's dismissal. The trades were immediately full of headlines like "Disney Bounces Tigger" and "Winchell gets thrown out of 'Family Tree'." (Which may explain the studio ultimately decided to change this film's title. Dropping "Winnie the Pooh and the Family Tree" in favor of "The Tigger Movie.") Anywho ... The press keeps looking for ways to keep this controversy going. Which is why reporters eventually approached John Fiedler, the last remaining member of the original vocal cast that Walt Disney Productions had assembled 'way back in the 1960s to do those first three "Winnie the Pooh" featurettes. John was the only member of that ensemble who was still under contract to the studio. So -- hoping for a good quote -- a columnist asked Fiedler point-blankly what he thought about Disney replacing Winchell with Cummings. John replied: "I'm just glad that Jim can't do Piglet's voice." That's a cute little story, don't you think? Which was why I was originally thinking about weaving it into yesterday's article. But eventually I decided against including that particular anecdote. Why For? Well ... Because that joke actually comes at Paul's expense. It's a laugh that only occurs because of this extremely trying time in Winchell's life. That period when this entertainment vet just felt that he had become too old to perform anymore. So I guess you can understand why I originally decided to spike that story. Even though it obviously showcased Fiedler's quick wit, this veteran character's ability to continue to surprise people with his awesome comic timing. Well, who knew that -- just hours after I'd decided to cut that anecdote out of my Winchell tribute -- that I'd now have a logical reason to bring up that particular John Fiedler story. Speaking of Mr. Winchell ... I guess I should mention there's actually sort of a happy ending to that Paul-gets-fired story. You see, just around this same time, the Imagineers were beginning work on WDW's new dark ride, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." And -- after they saw all those stories in the paper about Disney dismissing Winchell from the "Family Tree" project -- the guys at WDI obviously thought that this was a pretty lousy way to treat a television legend. So when the Imagineers began recording the soundtrack for this new Fantasyland attraction, they insisted that Paul come in and perform Tigger's vocals. The guys from WDI ... They really didn't care that Winchell sounded a little raspy. What mattered to them was that the man who had originated this character's voice was now providing Tigger's vocals for their "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" ride. The message that the Imagineers were obviously trying to get across to Paul was: We're not all like those guys over at Disney Feature Animation. We actually value who you are and what you've done for our company. More importantly, we appreciate all the entertainment that you've provided us with over the past 50 years. And -- given that the Imagineers also made a point of hiring John Fiedler to record Piglet's dialogue for this new Disney World attraction -- I guess it's pretty obvious that the guys at WDI thought fairly highly of John too. Unfortunately, the "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" ride was pretty much Winchell's last hurrah with the Walt Disney Company. Whereas Fiedler ... He actually went on to do a number of new projects for the Mouse House after that. Providing Piglet's vocals for "The Book of Pooh" TV series, the "Mickey's House of Villains"&"Winnie the Pooh: Springtime for Roo" video premieres as well as the "Piglet's Big Movie"&"Pooh's Heffaump Movie" theatrical releases. In fact, there's still one more project in the pipeline -- "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween -- The Movie" -- that John also did voicework for. Though that video premiere isn't due to hit store shelves 'til September 13th of this year. Anyhow ... I just wish that Winchell could have experienced what Fiedler did over the last few years of his life. That sense that -- even though John was a man in his late 70s -- he was still someone who could add something unique to the mix. Which is why Disney deliberately sought Fiedler out whenever they were getting a new "Winnie the Pooh" project off the ground. But now that John's gone ... Well, given the billions that the Mouse makes off of the sale of Pooh-related products each year, it's pretty obvious that this franchise is going to have to continue. Which is why the guys over Disney's voice department are probably already wondering who they're going to get to fill Fiedler's shoes. Maybe they'll get lucky and find another huge talent like Jim Cummings. Someone who -- thanks to their own comic genius as well as the gift of mimicry --will be able to create a close approximation of Paul Winchell's Tigger. Still, given that Tigger's voice was obviously patterned after the voice that Winchell used to do for his Knucklehead Smiff character, it was fairly easy for Disney to come up a replacement bouncy, trouncy tiger. Whereas Fielder's distinctive take on Piglet -- that halting delivery, the sense that this character was constantly struggling to keep his fears under control, the obvious heart that John poured into this part -- it might take Disney's voice department quite a while to come up with an actor who can accomplish what Fiedler did. Which was make us care about -- even fall in love with -- a small, fretful pig. The entire JHM staff wishes to extend its heartfelt condolensces to the friends & family of John Fiedler during their time of sorrow. cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

PAUL WINCHELL (1922 - 2005) http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/voice%20of%20tigger%20dies American ventriloquist and inventor PAUL WINCHELL, the voice of TIGGER in DISNEY 's WINNIE THE POOH films, died in his Los Angeles home on Friday (24JUN05). He was 82. The New Yorker led an extraordinary life, after contracting polio at the young age of six and fighting a speech impediment, he went on to be a huge success in all three of his chosen careers - in inventing, TV hosting and as an ventriloquist. As an inventor, he patented over 30 ideas, including ones for an artificial heart, a disposable razor, a flameless cigarette lighter and an invisible garter belt. After hosting children's TV shows in the 1950s and 1960s, he landed the voiceover role as the bouncing tiger in the Disney adaptations of AA MILNE's Winnie The Pooh stories in 1968 and provided Tigger's vocals until 1999. His first outing as Tigger in WINNIE THE POOH AND THE BLUSTERY DAY contributed to the movie picking up an OSCAR for Best Short Film, and he went on to win a GRAMMY for Best Children's Recording for the song THE MOST WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT TIGGERS from the film WINNIE THE POOH AND TIGGER TOO in 1974. Winchell is survived by wife JEAN, five children and three grandchildren. cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil is the most extreme outing by Coil I have had the pleasure of listening to. This is really extreme stuff and is the closest to say, Merzbow, that they ever got. I rate this and Merzbow's "Oersted" as the most challenging discs I own, which does not make them bad at all. With releases as these the way you listen to music is not a required one. You need to change the setting, change the scenario. This is not easy listening nor is it enjoyable setting; you need to concentrate hard in order to penetrate this stuff. You simply need to focus. Your reward is on its way.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, I ended up having a whole week of celebrations. Okay, not all the dinners out were to congratulate me on surviving 24 years, but that didn’t stop me pretending. I’m going to try my hand at a small critique of the restaurants I visited last week: Tuesday Night – Wafu, Mouille Point, Cape Town Yuppie without the pretentiousness of Camps Bay, this sushi restaurant and bar is on the 3rd floor about the Mouille Point Deli which featured in our lives so much back in 2003 when B & I lived. As B would say, this place has inherent value: 225 degree ocean views, no glitzy white sand and waves, this view is of relaxing swells and the waltz of seaweed disappearing into a sun setting horizon. Cane and white cushion couches fill the outside deck where after work cocktails are sipped by 30 somethings. The cocktail menu is pretty standard but if you look hard there are one or two interesting temptations. I tried a Chili Cucumber Martini which was blended to perfection. For some of our guests it was their first exploration of the Japanese and now Californian art of sushi. I thought I’d start them off with something ‘safe’; Salmon & Pineapple sandwiches which were presented on a wooden block for the table. These disappeared quickly and we followed with some excellent recommendations by our waiter. For mains four of us ordered the Fried Calamari, which is famous in Wakame (the fancier restaurant on the second level, owner by the same people). I have to say that I wasn’t overly impressed, the texture of the batter seemed a little floury and its oiliness was enhanced by the absence of any side salad or dipping sauce. That said, someone ordered the Tuna Kebab which had delicious melt in the mouth qualities. Wafu has a stylish, laidback (but sexy) vibe. I highly recommend it as the place to go for sundowners and while it’s too busy and stark to entice a romantic dinner, it was the perfect entertaining venue for a group of friends. Wednesday Night – Baia, Waterfront, Cape Town Held in exultation by Aunty Line and Uncle Paul, we took a business rep from Malaysia here to enjoy the infamous view of the Waterfront harbour and Table Mountain with it’s rolling table cloth of cloud at sunset. Baia is a well oiled machine, easily doing 500 covers a night, 7 days a week. The staff are of Olympic Gold standard and as we were guided to our outside table even I (the seasoned SA tourist) had my breath taken away – the outdoor sitting area with windows to reduce the wind, had framed the view like a Monet. Chef (B.Basson of Cuban fame), provides consulting to the Baia kitchens and on his recommendation I requested the Kingklip (fish) and Chorizo. Sorry Chef, but it didn’t do it for me. The local Chorizo tasted like Kabana (the pink Aussie type with fine mince and pepper spices which always seemed to be served with Chedder cubes in suburban backyard barbies). Luckily the evening was rectified once I tried some of the Tomato Sauce served with Uncle Paul’s divine seafood platter. The potency of the garlic had me hooked. I spoke to Chef about this later, and my learned friend told me that Chorizo is meant to me spicy and looked at me like I was daft when I tried to explain intriguing similarities to Woolies Sausages, and also, that no, he wasn’t going to give me that sauce recipe because it’s shite. Oh. Overall the meals were good, the service excellent and the view spectacular. I would definitely take my international guests here, but I wouldn’t bother going with just B and myself. Thursday Night – Saigon, Kloof Street, Cape Town I’ll admit I was a little dubious when we drove past the flashing neon tube sighs. But once inside, standing on the dark wood floors – looking out the curved wall of windows which took in the length of Kloof Street and a perfect side profile of The Mountain – I understood why Saigon has been an institution in Vietnamese cuisine for nearly 30 years. Actually, 29 years ago exactly, Uncle Paul took Aunty Line here for her 21st birthday and promptly surprised her with an engagement ring. It was decided that ordering for the table was mandatory. A lengthy recited specials menu would quickly put anyone other than a foodie to sleep, but with a table party including 2 chefs, mouths were watering and we ordered each of the 10 specials plus (at my insistence) the coconut prawns. By the time dinner had arrived we’d already worked our way through the drinks menu: a highlight being an unusual Strawberry & Basil Vodka Martin, sheer bliss. So my recollection of the dinner is a fury of flying chopsticks as everyone jostled to taste each delicate dish. I don’t think we had dessert. Better go back another time. Sunday Lunch – Avontuur, Somerset West For the past 5 years we have been driving past this Vineyard and Horse Stud, with it’s perfect rolling green hills and traditional white log fences. Horses and foals prance around in the sunshine. Life is perfect. We drove into the estate feeling rather elite – wind in the hair (SLK 500 convertible) the scent of horses and freshly mown grass. We gathered at the Welcome Table outside the restaurant waiting for Aunty Line’s friends to arrive we sipped on champagne and had the gaul to complain about the heat. Once seated inside, the long lunch official began. The d cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Via NYT: Microsoft has signed a deal with two film studios to make a movie based on its popular space-based video game series Halo, Universal Pictures said on Wednesday. Universal and 20th Century Fox agreed to pay Microsoft $5 million plus a percentage of ticket sales. The total price being paid is capped at 10 percent of domestic box-office receipts. The deal ends months of speculation over which studio would win the right to make a Halo film, which came to Hollywood last spring highly promoted by Microsoft and its representatives at Creative Artists Agency. Messengers delivered a script to the studios wearing costumes and toting laser guns. Under terms of the agreement, Universal will oversee production and domestic distribution, while Fox will handle overseas distribution. Paul Pflug, a Universal spokesman, said the studios were aiming for a summer 2007 release of a movie based on Halo and Halo 2, a science fiction series about an alien-fighting warrior named Master Chief.
