It's a great film, very big in my household. I don't think they publicised it very well at the time. Fantastic animation and the voices of David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane from Frasier) and Martin Short. I've seen it a few times 😂.

Frasier's another thing that totally passed me by. Just completely missed it 🤣🤣 looks like I got catching up to do.

Absolutely worth it. The inter play between Frasier and Niles is brilliant. The two of them are a great double act. The scripts are fantastic and the episodes can descend in to farce. These are more aligned to Fawlty Towers rather than say Friends. They don't play down to the audience.

That may be where my misconception comes from. Friends became a blueprint for a lot of sitcoms and I just didn't find it that funny. It was more low level humour and I couldn't stay engaged with it. But due to its success so many other sitcoms followed that blueprint. I had assumed Frasier to be one of them. But if you're saying it's more like Fawlty Towers humour, that's something I can get behind. British humour like Fawlty Towers and Allo Allo are just unbeaten in the comedy sector. Perhaps I should give Frasier a fairer shot

Yeah, I don't want to rubbish American sitcoms too much. UK has it's fair share. But shows like the Big Bang Theory is just pure tripe, lowest common denominator comedy, but very big. Give Frasier another go, well worth it.

Don't get me wrong some UK comedy is straight trash. But I agree wholely about a race to the bottom cheapest, easiest laughs. Lowest common denominator for sure.
I'll add it to my to-do list... Along with now experiment various vocal lines for Coinkite Blues apparently 🤣🤣
