Hi again everyone!
Wow. A lot of deep thoughts running around! Well, guess I should give the final answer.
The answer is a duck.
These are answers I heard on the local radio station here in San Diego and they were doing a "little known facts" bit from some book they were using. The book gives these three, and the reason it gave was that it was these three animals that Disney used in the beginning and is included in every animated feature. Whether or not it's true? Well, I don't know if I'm willing to sit through every single one of those animated features, but for sure I'll look for them everytime I watch one.
Say, I remember way back people talking about how Disney animators are pervs. Like the priest in The Little Mermaid having an erection (which actually is true! Some magazine I read through years back had a pic of it) or how there's some line in Aladdin where the genie says to Aladdin to take of Jasmine's clothes. Weird.
Anyways, I know WAY too much about this. Thanks for playing!
