Mike Wazowski Is Billy Crystal’s Favorite Role
When Harry Met Sally, Billy Crystal featured in one of the most unforgettable films of all time. However, the seasoned actor’s favorite role was as Mike Wazowski, one of the major characters, in Disney’s Monsters, Inc.
Crystal had a lot of characteristics with the green, one-eyed monster. He could identify with this “little guy in a big guy’s world,” and speaking his lines alongside co-star John Goodman contributed to the reality.
Is Disney Ageist?
As per the Brigham Young University research, a whopping 22% of Disney villains are 55 or older. Furthermore, Disney’s older characters are depicted in a negative manner in around 42% of cases.
Many children’s impressions of the elderly have been warped as a result of prejudices reinforced by these films. This isn’t to argue that Disney’s older characters are entirely horrible. Take the film Up as an example. The protagonist of that film is an elderly man!
