Y? Because I GOTTA!" and "I believe my friends are (on the guest list for the Coco Bongo club), perhaps you know them. The Mask's cartoony antics are very similar to (and reminiscent of) some of the great super-cartoony classics, such as the Tex Avery cartoons, some of Bob Clampett's best works, and "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo!" (Great show, BTW!) The CGI animation is state-of-the-art for its time (Shame this film didn't win the Oscar for best special effects!) Some of my favorite bits include the lines "It's party time! P-A-R-T. THE MASK! From here on, it's classic cartoon bouncy/zany stuff whenever The Mask is lurking! Unfortunately, he is only the Mask for 30 minutes of the film, maybe because this was produced in 1994 and they didn't want to blow a lot of money with extensive use of CGI animation (Remember, CGI was state-of-the-art for its time back in 1994!) The Mask is able to whirl like the Tasmanian Devil, seduce like a Pepe Le Pew clone, carry many things up his sleeve, and just put a smile on your face. And after a terrible day, he finds the ancient mask that transforms him into. almost kinda like ME! (Though I'm a bit more socially successful than Stanley Ipkiss was). I get a kick out of hearing his "boring" voice! The plot is one I can identify with. And was she ever sexy! Combine the Girl of "Red Hot Riding Hood," Jessica Rabbit, and Daphne from "Scooby-Doo," and you've got a great character with a great actress! Ben Stein was also great, too. And it gave me my first glimpse of Cameron Diaz, which was appropriate since it was her debut film role as the beautiful miss Tina Carlyle.

This movie even made me like Jim Carrey a bit more (I previously saw him in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which was actually kinda good IMO). And boy, did I miss out on a lot of fun, which I was finally able to be part of! For starters, THIS is the film where Jim Carrey's zany/goofy antics are absolutely perfect and in time with the movie he is starring in. I never really got into it when I was younger (maybe cause I never SAW it!) But then early this year, since I am a HUGE cartoon fan, I decided to check it out. Those six words are enough to describe the movie itself from my view. The band was also sued by Royal Crown Cola and won that suit.This film is a cult classic. In accordance with a July 1998 settlement, the latter band changed its name to the Amazing Crowns in exchange, the Revue agreed to drop the lawsuit. įrom 1996 through 1998, the Royal Crown Revue was engaged in a lawsuit with the Amazing Royal Crowns after much confusion with promoters. Īfter appearing in the movie The Mask, Royal Crown Revue began a residency at the Derby in Los Angeles.


Other members included Daniel Glass, Scott Steen, James Achor, Veikko Lepisto, and Bill Ungerman. The band included Stern's brothers Jamie, Adam, and Shawn, who were members of the punk band Youth Brigade. The band was founded by Mark Stern, Eddie Nichols, and Mando Dorame out of their love of rockabilly, punk, jazz, and blues.
