Ha. Is that you, Dr. Cosby? I'm having an Emmy flashback :-)
In a movies supoosedly filled with live-action caricatures, someone
thought it'd be funny to hire Wanda Sykes to play yet another :P

Just vote for Ratatouille. You need to go with the flow and not be
known as "The Guy Who Thought Enchanted was the Year's Best Film" :-)
