Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was released 47 years ago today (Dec. 15, 1978). It’s one long series of technical and even emotional magic tricks, making it the CITIZEN KANE of super-hero films - but you rarely notice one is being pulled off right in front of your eyes by director Richard Donner.
