Who am I?

yep, that's the one. johnson advertised his plays with great abandon, thusly we know more about him than any other playright of that era, even Shakespeare.

(Next question)
He lived earlier than Shakespeare. In his most famous writing you'll read about a large group of very different people pilgrimaging to a shrine in south-east England. Whom am I talking of?

This sounds like the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.

Malte279 · **Reply #303 on:** October 12, 2005, 12:02:11 PM

That's perfectly right Stitch! Chaucer is the one I was looking for. Good going; your turn!

Nick22 · **Reply #304 on:** October 12, 2005, 01:10:21 PM

The caunterbury tales were never completed either, Chaucer had intended to include around 120 stories in all. good job Stitch, you were quicker yo the draw than me!

Okay, here goes

She wrote a series of 9 books for children and several more for older people. You could probably trace the "Rescue Rangers" all the way back to her. Who is she?

Nick22 · **Reply #306 on:** October 12, 2005, 04:16:14 PM

Beatrix Potter

Stitch · **Reply #307 on:** October 16, 2005, 10:42:16 PM

I think I better give you guys a hint.

The director of the first LBT movie worked on the film adaptation of the childrens series early in his career.

Nick22 · **Reply #308 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:26:48 AM

Would the be the Nimh series?

Stitch · **Reply #309 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:55:14 AM

Nope, but it does star mice

Redwall?

Stitch · **Reply #311 on:** October 17, 2005, 10:08:01 AM

Nope; this was back when Bluth worked at disney.

Nick22 · **Reply #312 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:13:41 PM

Watership Down?

Stitch · **Reply #313 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:25:14 PM

It was the first disney animated film to get a sequel.

The Rescuers

(the Disney buff knew this one

)

Another Disney type question that I hope to make easier by giving hints.

I am one of Walt Disney's famed "Nine Old Men". I share my surname with US Presidents and my first with a popular black and white tv show. (extra pat on the back if you get the tv show as well

)

Stitch · **Reply #316 on:** October 17, 2005, 06:31:13 PM

Good job. I was actually looking for Margery Sharp, the author of the nine Miss Bianca stories. I'll just let this question go.

You know, I had to rush to a class, and on the way I realized I was supposed to be looking for a person, not a film.

I saw Nick put "Watership Down" and that's a film or book, so I just put the correct film.

:

Also, my person post was invalid because I made an incorrect point in it; part of it is correct, the other half isn't so here is the revised question:

I am one of Walt Disney's famed "Nine Old Men"--the best hand drawn animators. My surname sounds much like the last name of two US presidents with the same last name (no relation). I share my first name with the character of a popular black and white tv show (where the character's name was in the title).

(It shouldn't take long to guess which of the nine I'm after....I would suspect most could come close to his last name at least.
