There was a weird live action version and a CG version; I believe in the CG version he formally announces that he's from Planet Danger.

[–]DroolingIguana 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

We shall not speak of the CG version. THERE IS NO CG VERSION!

Just as there is no sequel to Highlander and there are only two Alien movies, only moreso.

I do believe that's correct. His voice was also a little different in the CG one.

Childhood nostalgia, they played these for so long. Guy's, remember the TV "Your smarter than me" one? The story book about the family of Racoons? The ice cream truck 'stay fit' and the girls chasing the kid? good memories.
