Samuel E. Wright On His Role As Sebastian In "The Little Mermaid"
My most favorite moment was when, after years of filming it, and being very strict to animation, because you have to be strict with animation, because it's timing, and picture, and that kind of thing... And I was very strict with it. But I kept doing things, I'd be naughty, and I'd do something... And they'd say, "Sam, you can't do that! This is not Robin Williams. You cannot do that, you can't make up little jokes on the side." But a year after we finished completing the film, they called me up, and they said, "Sam, we're going to fly you out here. All of the things we said you couldn't do... You’ve got three hours to do all of them.” So they brought me in the studio, and they just turned the mike on... and I went nuts! I just said anything I wanted to say like Sebastian. I talked like him for three hours, and some of it found its way into the movie. For example: "Teenagers. They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you." That was something that I just made up!
Samuel E. Wright in the TLM series (1992-1994)
Kind of wanted to make a post celebrating Samuel E. Wright after seeing the TLM quote in Rise of the Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz. The top two gifsets are by africant on tumblr. I loved her colouring. She no longer posts on tumblr sadly. Of course the Sebastian TLM series gifset is by marciabrady. You can see more of Tony's TLM series edits here. Happy birthday dear Samuel.
