Talk:Hoist Goes Hollywood

In the Director's Chairs
Rob Powers sez: "What the hell? It's not some cross-cultural misunderstanding; it's a JOKE. The animators wouldn't be working from verbal instructions; they'd have his name WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER.)" Except that, mispronunciation of Hoist aside, Tracks's name was the ONLY ONE misspelled on the chairs, so it might not have been part of the running gag. As for having names written down on paper, the actual animators at the time might not have had the English spelling handy.  If they had character references written in Japanese, then the chance for the linguistically based typo crops up.  Yeah, it's pretty much speculation, but I'm just noting how the idea might be worth more than simply dismissing out of hand.--Apcog 19:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
