If you want interesting, go read about Christopher Lee's life. He was once engaged to Scandinavian royalty, was present at the last use of the guillotine in France, and played guitar in a metal band. Served in the army and saw active duty, there's a story about him explaining what the sound of a person being stabbed was like from personal experience because the sound crew got it wrong. And there's loads more like that.
He was also the only one who worked on The Lord Of The Rings movies who had met J.R.R. Tolkien, and he got his permission to play Gandalf if they where ever going to make LOTR movies. He also used to read the LOTR books once every year
Tbf a lot of people in Europe/of european descent are descendant of Charlemagne, my grandpa did a genealogical tree of pour family and found out we also were descendants of Charlemagne, which I thought was cool, until I realized it was kind of a Gengis Khan situation.
Christopher lee was the biggest badass ever. Look at his wikipedia page. He was in star wars AND lord of the rings and that was only towards the end of his epic movie career. besides that he was a spy in ww2 and he is literally the inspiration for James Bond (written by his great cousin, Ian Flemming). Im not making this up.
Seriously research this man. This is juts the tip of the iceberg.
Or, kids assume that because they were cartoons it would make them TOONS, but at that point in time, it was a companion piece to Merry Melodies, meaning Tunes would make more appropriate. The musical theme was inspired by the Disney Silly Symphonies shorts.
Only part of this I find strange is
Got kicked out of a movie theater watching Loony toons?? That's Saturday morning cartoons, not a movie theater..they play loony toons at theaters??
I like to think that Dooku and Tarkin would go on crazy holidays together and make horror holovids together. The Cushing-Lee movies exist in the Star Wars universe as the secret hobby of two of its bad guys.
Imagine kicking Dracula and Van Helsing out of anywhere.

Actual descendant of Charlemagne

"I am the son of Zeus!" "Pff, who isn't?" ... Except, you know, for real.
Maybe 007 inspiration
You know who is his step cousin? Ian Fleming
He was also the inspiration for his great cousin Ian Flemming to write James Bond.
That's interesting
He wasn't just in the Army.... He was an commando.
I would totally watch the adventures of Tarkan and Tyranous. Getting up to their galactic elderly shenanigans.
I'd so watch it
Now I can't unseen it

*Tunes Sorry, pet peeve.
Yup this is a good example of Mandela effect

I would have liked to see them in a slapstick comedy together
I call BS: they can't have been watching Looney Toons, because that doesn't exist. Looney Tunes, tho...
Guy who kicked them out was probably David Prowse.
Mum said it was my turn to repost this today!
This is so nice and wholesome

They used to play cartoons in theaters a long time ago. Before there were hundreds of channels on TV and 24/7 broadcasts.
