Credit or Liability?

[Subcommander R.]

So, do we credit Rene Auberjonois for playing Chef Louis in Disney's 'The Little Mermaid?' Or do we hold it against him (By which I mean we snicker about it every time he says something serious onscreen)?

I am speechless. Were it not for IMDB, I could not believe it. He should've channeled his when playing Odo: Quark would've been too terrified to plan any villainy.

SOr do we hold it against him?

Why...would...?

What?

 

[Jono]

Didn't realise he did so much voice acting in his career.

Isn't "The Little Mermaid" one of the most loved and most successful Disney animated films? Is there something about it I'm missing as to why it would be a terrible thing for Rene to have been a part of...apart from Disney's general evilness.

 

[Subcommander R.]

By 'hold it against him' I mean chuckle and snicker while we imagine Odo singing 'Les Poissons' and twirling an imaginary mustache.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Very much a credit. It's one of the more brilliant things he's done. He really has a chance to let loose.

Absolutely we credit him. The Little Mermaid is a wonderful film!

He's just an actor. This was a different (and fun-sounding) job. He didn't have to have all that stuff on his face when recording these lines!

At a con in Glasgow about 10 years ago, Rene actually sang that song on stage - great moment for all us Disney/Trek fans!!
Credit due indeed.

Rene voices a cartoon character and you want to hold it against him?

 

[Mr Silver]

He has got one of the most unique voices in the industry. I don't think having a role in one of the most succesfull Disney films of all time should be held against him. For many Casting Directors, being part of a Disney production is a very prestigious thing on an actor's resume

Read the elaboration, I mean that in a light and joking sense. I don't want to bludgeon the man to death for making us laugh. I just want to laugh about it.

His being in the '76 King Kong remake is a far bigger blot on his resume, IMHO.

 

[Cyke101]

Good God, if Odo ever did that while Quark was sneaking around, Quark would never ever cross Odo ever again.

That, and the live-action version of Inspector Gadget... *shudder*

He was in that? Gawd, I didn't even remember. I guess the trauma of the experience blurred the details.

^ It's a pretty brief part, I think. I only know because the Nostalgia Critic reviewed it a couple of weeks ago; I haven't actually seen the movie in full.

 

[Nerys Myk]

He was in the film M*A*S*H, that alone erases at lot of "sins".

 

[CorporalCaptain]

^ Har, har.
