So, do you wanna dig him up, or should you wait for Dr. Frankenstine?

Nothing disgusts me to the core like saying "______ was the best role, and since he died, no one else can ever play them ever ever ever."

I feel Maurice is doing a great job. in fact, I can recal something else from the interview in Animation magazine where Andy told this anecdote about how Don said (multiple times), Maurice, can you do this? I think you can do it better. Something to that extent.

Just because a voice actor dies does NOT mean they should retire the character forver if they cannot find the right voice. I mean, look how many Looney Tune recasts they have. Are they as good as Mel Blanc? No. They're all doing the best of their ability, not the best of someone else's.
