The real life metatextual twist here is that avant-garde Marxist playwright Wallace Shawn was able to solve the financial woes of both himself and his revered short story writer wife by becoming the voice of the lovable dinosaur in the Toy Story films
I stg. He’s a great writer btw, as is Deborah Eisenberg, who’s his waitress girlfriend he refers to as Debbie throughout My Dinner With Andre.
Ultimate power couple btw
ALSO on the subject of My Dinner With Andre, one of my favourite Simpsons bits
You know if anyone wants me to voice a toy dinosaur for 6 figures I reckon I would be good at voicing a toy dinosaur, or something akin. I’m just putting that out there.
My Dinner With Andre’s great btw, watch it if you want to watch a film with two genuinely interesting guys having a genuinely interesting chat
