    One thing you forgot to mention is the performances in Beauty and the Beast. The voice work is spectacular! From Paige O’Hara http://www.comicmix.com/news/2010/10/03/paige-oha… (there should be a link to your recent interview here) to Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers and Angella Landsbury. But the break-out, revelation performance comes from Robby Benson! It’s nuanced, subtle, funny … absolutely spot-on brilliant. And because I had always pictured Benson as a nerdy Teen Actor, this was totally a wonderful surprise for me.It’s like how Mark Hamill is now in my mind the definitive “Joker,” from his work on “Batman, the Animated Series,” and I never would have expected that.
