Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Rhino and Mugsy
Charles ‘Rhino’ Daly and Edward 'Mugsy' Binks were a pair of small-rime gangsters who hitched their wagon to the criminal mastermind known as The Ventriloquist. Although the Ventriloquist was a very peculiar sort, he was able to devise brilliant criminal schemes and both Mugsy and Rhino were dedicated to him as someone who could make them rich.
Mugsy was by far the smarter of the pair. He understood that The Ventriloquist, Arnold Wesker, had a psychological condition and that he and his dummy, Mr. Scarface, were one and the same. Whereas Rhino was a bit more dim, and saw Scarface as the true leader and Wesker as just some shnuck who carried him around. What Rhino lacked in brains he made up for with brawn. A hulk of a man, Rhino was impressively strong, durable and an excellent hand to hand fighter.
After Arnold Wesker was released from Arkham Asylum with a clean bill of health, Rhino and Mugsly waited for Scarface’s return. When it appeared that Wesker had been successfully treated, however, Mugsy hired Hips McManus to impersonate Scarface and trick Wesker into resuming his role as The Ventriloquist. The ruse worked and the true Scarface reemerged.
Although the plan worked too well. Scarface embodied Wesker’s anger toward Rhino and Mugsly and he tried to murder them. The pair were rescued by Batman and Batgirl. Further therapy helped Wesker re-attain his progress while Rhino and Mugsy were sentenced to prison terms at Blackgate Penitentiary.
Actor Earl Boen provided the voice for Rhino; with actor Townsend Coleman voicing Mugsy. The two first appeared in the fifty-ninth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Read My Lips.’

Adventures in Odyssey ramble
So I jumped back into the AIO fandom this year after a very long hiatus and am catching up with all the episodes including all the Buck and Jules ones and Buck’s search to find his father. So far my favorite ones were of Emily Olivia losing her faith—really well done in depth episodes.
and ever since the podcast teased Townsend Coleman as the acting voice of Eugene, I’ve been on baited breath waiting for his episode and really all the new episodes from the new album. Oct 7th can’t come soon enough!

Honestly, I never thought I would see the day I would get to meet my childhood heroes, well the four legendary vocal talents behind them.
From left to right: Cam Clarke, Rob Paulsen, moi, Townsend Coleman and Barry Gordon. All of them were lovely and such gentlemen and making them smile as much they made me smile was rewarding.

Buster & Chauncey's Silent Night (1998)
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
At best, Buster & Chauncey’s Silent Night is an amusing curiosity or the answer to some obscure trivia questions, as it features an early voice-acting performance by Lea Michele and was Phil Hartman’s final film role. Probably more of the latter than the former. I'll call it "amusing" but the most entertaining part of the story is how predictable it is. This is a generic tale of a couple of animated mice telling us the “origin” of a well-known Christmas song through the medium of so-so animation.
In 1818, Austria’s Queen Therese IV is visiting the town of Oberndorf. Its church houses the gifts of gold, gold, and gold given to the Holy Family by the Magi in Bethlehem. As the town prepares to accommodate their majesty, two mouse musicians named Buster (Jim Cummings) and Chauncey (Phil Hartman) arrive, excited to impress the queen with their talents. Meanwhile, a pair of thieves claiming to be the Duke of Raoche and his niece Lady Gretchen (Paul Kandel and Judith Blazer) steal the treasure. They frame an orphaned girl (Christina, voiced by Lea Michele) under the care of Father Joseph (Townsend Coleman) for the crime.
Even before the pair of crooks shows up, you could’ve guessed this entire movie. Ever since "The Rescuers", these animated films about talking mice somehow wind up with the same plot: a pair of friendly rodents help an orphaned girl accused/framed/held captive by a pair of thieves after some big treasure. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that setup but Buster & Chauncey doesn’t do anything with it that’s new, or interesting. At a mere 49 minutes, there isn’t time for any character development and the gags are lackluster. Little kids might have fun watching things move but adults will have to entertain themselves by asking questions never meant to be asked. Questions like “How were Buster and Chauncey expecting to entertain her royal highness? Do Austrian nobles usually ask small mammals to perform for them?” and “Why does everyone believe the orphaned girl took the treasure when none of the coins or nativity gifts are in her pockets? ” or “How come the mice speak with American accents? ”
There is minimal effort to tie this fictional tale to the origin of the Silent Night Christmas melody - unsurprisingly, the best song in the film. I suppose you can award some points for the way the picture teaches those interested something new… if they look up Buster & Chauncey's Silent Night on Wikipedia and choose to explore some of the links on the page. I'll sort it under “uninspired, inoffensive and unmemorable”. You could do far worse but this is no classic and I think even those who worked on it knew that. (On DVD, December 19, 2021)
