Gus! I forgot his name. He’s the best.

I don’t think Max ever cared that his name is the same as the Sendak kid’s. He did find it appalling in pre-K when there was a GIRL named Toni (he has an uncle Tony). He thought that was just wrong!

Gus CANNOT get over the fact that one of the mice in Cinderelly is named GusGus. He cracks up *every* time he watches it.

Well the rats only sing for a few seconds. Scrooge hollers at them for shivering in the cold and they momentarily break into song. Then it’s over. Plus no human singing. Rodent singing is preferable (see: Cinderelly).

Gus mostly HATES singing in movies, always makes us fast forward through it. Except he doesn’t do that for Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. Funny kid.

Treasure Island is only good when that kid is NOT singing! It’s hilarious when they have that cabin fever thing going on. Christmas Carol is good, too, again when they make the humans hush. We like the rats singing “Island in the Sun” when Scrooge threatens them.

Technicality! You’re only beating me by a few months!

I keep forgetting about other Muppet movies! We have the original, which Gus loves, and Treasure Island, which is good when Gus is feeling piratey. Ahoy matey!

Heh, you’re old! But not as old as I.

I’d forgotten about the Spice Girls until last night. We were attacked by Scary in a parking lot. No, seriously, Max and I were watching “Muppets in Space” and Rizzo has a poster of the “Mice Girls.”
