Well, I was going to kind of privately check to see what a couple of people would think of this, but here is a new set, with a slight variation ... you have to identify the people who provide the voices (English) of these animated characters ... and THEN link them in the way the rest of the game is played.

It's a test drive. I have a couple of other potential strings like this, but if none of you ever have seen any animated films, it won't fly. Anyway, here goes.

Same rules ... the voice actors for the top two pictures provide the beginning and end of the string in whichever order you choose to start.

Oh great...just when I think I can pull myself away and focus on my math, you post one I can't resist...

I welcome Son1 as well, but sadly you were beaten out on that entry in the the list by 6 minutes, so I can't give you a point. But I hope you keep trying!
And, sorry newbie, but Ms. Taylor was not in this set.

A reminder of the VERY confusing rules:

*I will post an initial picture, a string of pictures in the middle, and then a concluding picture. The first person has to use the initial picture, and one of the pictures in the middle string, and "connect" them when they appear in the same movie. The next person will take the second performer listed in the previous response, and select one of the remaining pictures in the middle string, and find a film those have in common. This continues until there is only one picture in the middle string, which then has to be "connected" to the end picture.
*There may be more than one correct way of navigating through the set of pictures. However, not every choice will let you get all the way through the list. If you think that is the case, and you find yourself stuck, you may back up as far back in the response list as you like and restart the list at that point.
*A person can only post to a particular set once every 12 hours; that is, you may post again 12 hours after your last post on the same set. The clock also restarts with every new set of pictures.
*Only posts in the string that finally makes it to the end will count for points for those that posted on that set.
*The strings will get longer with each correct set of answers (up to a point).
*One last note, these are all film connections ... not television.

You are welcome!

Giving it a wild shot.

Brad Pitt was in Se7en with Kevin Spacey

 

[NorthernPA4U]

Oh, and while I'm not going to require it, it might help y'all to indicate which animated characters you are identifying in paranthesis.
For example, this set:

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w282/northernpa4u/Link2/001-animated-example.jpg

might be linked by:

Phil Harris (Baloo) was in The Gatling Gun with Pat Buttram (The Sheriff of Nottingham)


But maggie's got the right idea. That certainly is a link that is valid with these characters.

People don't need to copy the pictures, I don't think ... just identify which picture by name. It's just so other people don't have to go researching those pictures all over.

I certainly will give credit if it's not done.

I will point out that it is HoPper as in Grass-hopper, not Hooper as in Hula ...

Do I still get a point? *hopeful look*

I can't say for sure until the linked list is complete.

It seems likely, though.

I can go with an almost 'woot'

 

[NorthernPA4U]

So, for those who play, is this an acceptable occasional alternative ... like once every 18-20 sets?

It's rather like the alternating performer/director sets that I do, just something different once in a while.

I think it's fun......a harder twist. But yes I'm enjoying this. Thanks Nor

Yes, it is somewhat harder, so I kept the list shorter. And there are some tougher ones to identify (it was much harder to construct this list because it wasn't as easy to find links between performers who had done well-known voice work as I had expected) but a lot of people have seen Toy Story, Shrek, and The Lion King. The one anime I used is probably the masterpiece of anime's best known director (his picture was my next-to-last profile picture), so I had at least SOME hope there.

I may not be around as often as I'd like to play this........but I always pop my head in when I'm posting and appreciate the efforts people go to when putting together the game for us to play.

So a big thank you.......I don't say it often enough to you guys and girls

Brad Pitt (Metro Man) was in Se7en with Kevin Spacey (Hopper)

Jeremy Irons (Scar) was in Die Hard: With a Vengance with Samuel L. Jackson (Frozone)

I like this set, although I'm still missing one. Not sure I've seen the movie with the military man.

Maybe working backwards through the list will help.

I have (a) Woody....that's about it!!!

You get to a certain age, that's worth bragging about!

Now, since I have already pointed out that one of the characters is from Shrek, and another from a famous Miyazaki film, you at least have some hints to look a LITTLE harder.

Ordinarily it does. And it can help to find where somebody should go, but unlike the other sets, there isn't a picture to refer to when searching for the connecting actor. Pouring through every actor who's been in a film with someone looking for animated parts is waaay time consuming.

Good point, except that the performer just before this one (going backwards) has many, many, many television appearances, and just a handful of film appearances, and with only a couple of actors with big enough names to be asked to do voice work in these kinds of films.

It's why I suggested going backwards; I'm already aware that she's only worked with two or three actors (I believe that's right) who did voice work for these kinds of films.

So, hmmmm ... an obscure hint for that picture ... the background, particularly the color of the background, was something I specifically chose to help identify the film when looking for a picture with this character in it.
