Pinky and the Brain... and Larry - Opening

I think my favorite part about this whole episode is the fact that Rob Paulsen did Pinky AND Larry XD
That man. He is phenomenal and I would give my right arm to watch him a recording booth for just ten minutes XD
Also, I've always thought that Larry was like that bad OC people throw into their fanfictions, lol. "Larry says narf too!" No! That is PINKY'S thing XDDDD
But then I don't believe that Larry ever actually SAYS Narf in the skit, so... Forgiven? Hardly, lol
But it IS a funny skit and I implore you all to watch it!

I think this was my first Directed by credit (Shared with Liz Holzman. She moved up to producer and I moved up as Director to take over the WORLD... er uh I mean her crew.) I drew all the added Larry scenes in this episode opening. The hard part was hooking up the original truck out on the closing door at the end to the new scene with Larry. Warner Bros. rule at the time was we had to always finish on 35mm film so, we couldn't just add Larry in video editing. It was all shot on film with no video help. One of my favorite episodes.
