Good! Because if I had a nickel for everytime a Disney villain actor voiced a dog, I’d have three nickels. The dogs in question? Snitter from The Plague Dogs (John Hurt), Hazel from Foofur (Pat Carroll) and Georgette from Oliver & Company (Bette Midler).

I remember watching a few episodes of Foofur on a VHS tape my parents got me when I was little. The theme song’s been stuck in my head for a while. Had to draw this pupper
BW Media Spotlight's My Favorite Intros looks at an intro to a show I didn't watch. Do you remember Foofur?
In previous installments of this series I’ve looked at intros for shows I don’t really watch. It’s not called “My Favorite Intros Of Shows I Watched”.

Heck, there were installments of My Not-So-Favorite Intros that were about shows I did watch. I still pick on Conan The Adventurer. Tonight…
