Update : the kiwi is Robin Williams! Albatross!
The “Albatross!” scene from A Wish For Wings That Work is one of my all-time favorites, and I just discovered the full show is on YouTube (best not to question its legality).
So, if you haven’t seen a kiwi lamenting the loss of his wife, or a chicken who thinks he’s a Boeing 747, or especially if you have and want to see it again...

I just want to give people stars again, this is me giving you a star.

I’ll watch this at lunch today. Another absolutely gorgeous film, if you haven’t yet seen it, is the animated adaptation of Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince . It’s on Netflix

Thanks, will do.
I honestly don’t remember how good the entire Bloom County special is, but the support group is simply brilliant. Every few years, for no obvious reason and only when alone, I’ll shout Albatross! and feel better about the world for a while.

I just found out the kiwi is Robin Williams, and the cross-dressing cockroach is Dustin Hoffman. And the dude who voices Megatron from the awful new movies is Santa Claus.
But mainly, Robin, can’t believe I’ve been hearing his voice in my head for so many years without recognizing it.

I picked up on Williams right way, but didn’t get the others.

I’m impressed.
The chicken is a regular on Simpsons and Futurama, Tress MacNeille.

Now that one I would not have gotten, since I never watched either show regularly.
