No, your wording was fine and I DID understand it exactly AS posted.  
I always understand your posts. They are very concise and clean, with  
very little room for misinterpretation(s). (unlike me...lol)

I knew that, I was only offering my opinion based on having seen the  
movie numerous times. I absolutely can't stand Robin Williams as a  
standup comedian OR in a general conversation with show hosts, etc.  
His wild gyrations and maniacal animations drive me completely  up  
the wall, but I have to admit that in an acting situation (where he  
is reigned in), he can do some mighty fine work.

I feel he should have won an oscar for Popeye (an otherwise ignored  
movie). Also, I do all of the songs from the movie.

Yes, I understood that. And I wholeheartedly agree. Many of the  
earlier cartoons were interspersed with what I would call a 'rag-time/ 
classical/circus' type of musical background (as many cartoons ARE),  
and I find that observation of yours to be astute.

MY biggest sadness was that the video was only around 38 seconds.  
With all the other crap on you tube. I could have used a little more  
of this type of 'red bull' pickmeup.   :)

Sorry If I sounded like I was debating anything. I was actually  
agreeing...but then, 'I' am the one with the ambiguous  
expressiveness. Anyway, I'm straying too far from the subject and FJM  
is starting to look at me oddly.
