The English actor, Albert Finney, has sadly passed away at the age of 82! Mr. Finney (1936-2019) was most famous for his roles in Tom Jones, Scrooge, Annie, Big Fish, Skyfall, and my favorite performance of his in one of my favorite films, Murder on the Orient Express!
In terms of animation, he voiced the character of Mr. Everglot in Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride.
He shall be missed!
The actor, Martin Landau, has died today at the age of 89. Mr. Landau (1928-2017) was known for his appearances in the TV series, Mission: Impossible, as well as in the films, North by Northwest, Cleopatra, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Tucker: The Man and His Dream, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Ed Wood.
The actor also lent his voice to the characters of 2 in the animated film, 9,
as well as to Mr. Rzykruski in the 2012 Disney/Tim Burton film, Frankenweenie.
He shall be missed!

The film is similar to “Fun and Fancy Free” in the fact that it only consists of 2 segments: “The Wind and the Willows” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”.
