John Candy was great in this Movie!


John Candy's performance as Wilbur was really great. Almost on the same level as Robin William's performance as the Genie.

I wholeheartedly agree!!! He gave Wilbur so much energy, and it fit in with the whole spirit of the movie, being that it was much more comical than the original. Props to Jim Jordan for his performance as Orville in the first movie, as his comical performance in my opinion wasn't as good as Candy's, but at the same time it was more fitting for the original's atmosphere. Watching this just recently (thank you Netflix) I still laugh out loud at Candy's hijinks in the movie, especially the "CANNONBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!" he yells as he drops out of the airplane.
