Oh, I’ve seen the film and I think it’s great, which is why I don’t think it should be remade.

It’d be nice if someone had [obliquely linked to it.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6236769&postcount=19) :smack: 😉

Er, I think I meant “don’t touch it” as in “don’t remake it,” not “don’t watch it.”

Okay, got it - but I doubt the original flick is up for a remake, not after the execrable “The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars”.

**raz** , the vacuum cleaner was Kirby (an actual manufacturer), voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft. We knew he’d be all right, though - “Even, sweeping motions, Kirby!”

> Check out [this site.](http://www.carsinbarns.com/) About 20 years ago I attempted to buy a what was then a decent 69 Chevelle to fix up. The owner told me that it was his high school car and he was going to restore it soon. Today that car is still sitting in the exact same spot and is basically a pile of rust.

Asshat.
