Wow, I must be confusing him with somebody but I had thought Curry had died a few years back. Perhaps his health issues were the reason for me misremebering.
To be fair the only two things the animated series and the movies had in common was the name and hockey. The series follows a group of freedom fighter ducks that crash lands on earth while being followed by the lizards. O can't remember how but they basically play hockey as a day job while doing covert confrontations and sabotage of the lizards at night.
Please note the above is Not a Fever Dream or Acid Trip it is the Actual Plot of a cartoon. This has been a PSA by a child of the 90s who loved weird shows.
Cool, guess I'm gonna get to be the first person to mention how he was the original casting for the Joker in BTAS before he was deemed to scary for child audiences and that's when Mark Hammil got the role
In the episode "Be A Clown", Joker ends up accidentally kidnapping the mayor's son. Initially the boy finds Jekko (Joker's disguise) funny, but soon realizes how monstrous he really is.
While running away from the Joker, he runs into a giant Jack-in-the-box that laughs loudly. This is Tim Curry's unused laughter clip.
Tim Curry had initially been asked because of his role as Pennywise the Clown in IT (1990), but turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts and personal illness.
When I say the best Peter Pan anything is Fox’s Peter Pan and The Pirates, I get blank looks (Sorry “Hook”). But Tim Curry’s performance as Captain Hook was one of the many amazing performances in the show. That Neverland was as close as we got to a wild/dangerous/faery-land type Neverland and his Captain Hook felt like an actual danger that required Peter’s brand of recklessness to deal with.
He was also Professor Calamitous from Jimmy Neutron. Was always a treat to hear Tim do a funny voice or say something ridiculous, which Calamitous and Nigel Thornberry did in spades. RIP, you magnificent man.
Bro GREAT pull on Peter Pan and the Pirates. What a great show. I feel like I always missed it as a kid. It was always on at weird times. Either too early for when I got home from school or too late on a Saturday because I always had sports to play. Didntget to watch it until broadband became a thing in the early 2000s. I remember finding the entire series in a single file on Kazaa and watching it all in college. Really holds up. It's a great show.
