I don’t know if you guys heard, but Don Knotts died today. While I can’t say I was a huge fan, I do fondly remember him from days that I stayed home sick from school watching “The Andy Griffith Show”. Of course, there was always his immensely-cheesy Mr. Furley role on “Three’s Company” where I first discovered him after getting home from school - but that role always weirded me out.

All that said, I never expected to read in an obituary article on him anything connecting him to “Space Jam”:

[”The Incredible Mr. Limpet”], the tale of a meek man who is transformed into a fish, has particularly won recent acclaim. Its early mix of live action and animation was a forerunner of later films such as “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” and “Space Jam.”
