Well, I guess it's finally happened.
They've slashed the budget so much
that they can only afford to animate the two--
well, I'll say it-- the two best siblings.
Tragic.
But we can't mourn forever.
I've always thought this would work better as a two-hander anyway.
Agreed. I'll play a rogue astrophysicist
on a quest to locate a missing Higgs boson
