People have pointed to Robin Williams's genie in Aladdin as the inspiration for a lot of later animated movies with pop culture references and celebrity voice actors (incidentally also why, on the more grown-up side of things, I wish Williams had lived to voice an animated Deadpool).

And yeah I'd agree Aladdin is when that trend started going MAINSTREAM in animated movies. But I'd also argue that fucking Rankin-Bass of all people started this trend before it was cool, with The Last Unicorn a decade earlier. I mean hell they even tapped the "Horse With No Name" band to make the title song.

Every time I see photos of America's Gerry Beckely, I'm constantly reminded of what the world would've gotten if Roger Taylor had just accepted his bad eyesight & embraced specs instead of sunglasses

#we were robbed of young!Rog with glasses 😔 but luckily we had babygirl Gerry rocking the specs 😍 #(unsourced pics bc i'm a hypocrite & lazy lol) #gerry beckley #roger taylor #america band #queen band #queen #classic rock #my posts #my stuff

Crowley thinking he’s too cool for America (the band) then when Aziraphale leaves he obsessively listens to “Sister Golden Hair” and lies to himself and says it’s because of the harmonies and not because the boiling yearning in his stomach is worse than a holy water enema stupid fucking angel world is a fuck “I’ve been one poor correspondent” *hits the Bentley dash and breaks his glasses* FUCK this gay earth

#no one thinks this is as funny as me #i just like the song tbh #america #america band #sister golden hair #good omens #good omens 2 #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands

Ventura highway

In the sunshine

Where the days are longer

The nights are stronger

Than moonshine

America - Homecoming (Warner Bros., 1972) - Art direction and design by Gary Burden, photography by Henry Diltz

This is a promo copy, so don't mind the "Ventura Highway" sticker.

This is a neat little tri-fold design. Gives it a kind of panoramic illusion.

Here's the inside:
