John Ratzenberger in Orlando - TSM Related?

[dxwwf3]

I'm watching the Magic game tonight (As always) and they show John Ratzenberger in the stands and I got to wondering if by some chance he would be in the area getting a sneak peak at Toy Story Mania or possibly doing work for the attraction? I know I might be reaching here, but I did think it was interesting.

Nice observation.

Of the two, I'd say he is getting a sneak peak. I would think they would have the audio for the attraction all recorded.

It wouldn't surprise me at all...sounds about right.

Go Magic ! :sohappy:

Lets save some wins this year for the playoffs.

Yeah we just have to keep the 3 seed and avoid Toronto in the first round. Washington could be tough, if healthy, but I think we're getting to the 2nd round at worst and I would love to see how we would match up against Boston or Detroit.

They'll do well until they meet either Detroit or the Celtics.. Then it's time to go fishin'

 

[WDWEric]

Go Pistons!!!

We've done well against both teams this year, but yes the playoffs are different. I would much rather play Boston than Detroit though.

Back on topic, has anyone that works at the Studios seen John around or am I completely off here :lol:

I wonder if he'll have a part in Wall-E?

Don't forget - also the host of Made in America on the Travel Channel.

Just watched Cars again last night - my favorite part is while the credits are running and they're all the drive-in - those are some of John Ratzenberger's best lines!:lol:

Here's a picture of John at the game:

I'm surprised that no one mentioned his appearance on Dancing With The Stars.

 

[ImagineerAndy]

Yes he is actually, he is playing a man named John, that is all Andrew Stanton has said. We don't know yet if it will be voice or live action. He will have a part in every Pixar film.
But yes, I thought that too

Sorry was supposed to quote you and answer your q, sorry.

 

[Hoop Raeb]

I've heard he's basically Pixar's good luck charm.

And the only reason he was there is that Magic was doing a promotion last night and Weds. $15 tickets! :drevil:

[PeeplMoovr]

He also played the Jeep driver (for Candice Bergen) in Gandhi. A total of 35 seconds on the screen or so.

 

[WDW-Tex]

He was also a commander who told Princess Leia that they had to shut the doors to the base on Hoth, they could no longer hold them open for Han and Luke. Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back.

Here's some Star Wars geekiness about that character:

So maybe he's in town for work on Star Tours 2?

I kid, I kid.
