Is it just me or is "Soarin' to tower, we are ready for take off" voiced by Patrick Warburton?

I had to replay that part several times for it to kick in, but I just want to know that I'm not completely crazy.

If you go on the ride, the pre-show video 'safety' instructions are also done by him.

My DH does the best impression of him: "Hel-lo. Welcome to Soarin." Whenever things were too quiet or someone looked bored he'd do it again. It was so fun.

Being that Disney is all righteous and political correct being a "family" entertainment company and all, I can't fathom how they haven't fired Warburton by now.

How is it they employ a super well known voice actor for their kids cartoons and even have him do the Soarin per-show ride, yet anyone age 14-25 probably better knows him as Joe from Family Guy: one of the most racist and politically incorrect show on TV...and on during prime time!

However, animation has that silver lining that real TV shows just can't get around. With animation/cartoons, I guess they can just say its "make believe" and therefore, ok to do a show like that. I guess that is why the Simpsons can have an Indian running the Quik-e-mart, the police chief is basically a fat imbecile resembling a "pig", the head of the nuclear power plant is a greedy anti-environement scrooge, and that Carl (the black guy) is an incredible basketball player. :ROFLOL:

While Family Guy is certainly outrageous and politcally correct, I would certainly not call it racist. And Warburton's wife on the show is played by Jennifer Tilly, who was Celia in Monsters, Inc. It also has featured Nicole Sullivan and Adam West from Meet the Robinsons; and James Woods from Hercules.

If Disney was worried about its talent's reputations, they certainly never would have hired Robin Williams, Tim Allen, Vanessa Hudgens.....

Pssst.....there's this thing....it's been around for hundreds and thousands of years.....it's called........satire. Don't tell anyone I told you this secret though. South Park does it the best once you're smart enough to look past the vulgarities and crude humor.

No duh. Thanks for the definition Caption Obvious ;)

My point was that you can do anything in animation and get away with it but if you did it in a prime time show, you'd get crucified.
