World of Weird Al Yankovic

Nice interview; thanks for posting it!

I think my dream job would be to be a voice in a Pixar movie. That would be a personal achievement for me.

That would be AWESOME

Wasnt there speculation of him being in a Pixar movie a while back? Or some other animated feature?

There was, but I don't think it went anywhere.

It wasn't Pixar IIRC, but Al was hinting in some interview about doing a voice in an animated movie. I don't think it was ever revealed which movie it was (or was going to be).

Who knows, he might have actually recorded it years ago. Before he died, Marlon Brando did a voice for a horrible animated movie that's still pending release.

I thought the part of the interview where he said he would like to be on Broadway was intresting. I had never thought of him doing something like that before but it would be exciting

If it hasn't been released, how do you know it's horrible?

Well if it is still pending release there probably is something wrong with it. As far as Al on Broadway, this isnt the first time he has mentioned it. I always felt he would be a good Cat in the Hat for Seussical, but since thats not on Broadway anymore it wont work.

This is not true, it just means it got caught up in some kind of development hell, much like what happened with Al's script. Any number of things could cause a project to stop production, not necessarily the fault of the project itself.

And those animated movies take many years to make. I think it took 4 years to make Shrek

That's probably because it had to be completely rewritten because the original version was deemed horrible. Also, Chris Farley was originally cast as Shrek.
