Elvis Presley joins a travelling carnival where…he finds a way to sing. Everything that happens in this film is straight from the textbook of Elvis filmmaking 101. Frankly, we thought this was awful, but again there are many who loved everything that Presley ever did.

Loosely based on a French play from 1910, Rock-A-Doodle was an animated box office bomb with the main character being a rooster who becomes a musical sensation in the mode of Elvis Presley. Sadly for the creator, Don Bluth, this triggered a string of failures, but we did like Glen Campbell’s voice as the rooster in question. At least it wasn’t a total loss.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rock-A-Doodle (1991)
Actor:
Glen Campbell
Songs you might remember:
Sun Do Shine
Why you should vote for him:
The voice of Glen Campbell was well cast.
Why you should not vote for him:
This film was not very good.

In what was a real stretch for Liberace, he played a flamboyant concert pianist (who happened to have an evil twin brother) in the campy Batman show in the 1960’s. We do have to wonder why they had to create an evil twin scenario and not just have Liberace play the villain only; not that it really matters.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Batman (1996)
Actor:
Liberace
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
If you base a vote on cheese, it is hard to do better.
Why you should not vote for him:
Why should a campy concert pianist be in any Hall of Fame?

In another that almost slipped through the cracks, The Chan Clan were the children of the “Amazing” Charlie Chan, the first animated series in North America, with an Asian cast. The older five kids of Charlie Chan, not only helped their super sleuth dad solve mysteries, but in perfect early 70’s expectations, they had a Bubblegum Pop band. Incidentally, the lead was sang by Ron Dante, who was the lead for the Archies.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan (1972)
Actors:
Multiple voices used. Ron Dante did the lead vocals
Songs you might remember:
Nothing really…..
Why you should vote for them:
Realistically, we have no good reason.
Why you should not vote for them:
If you are going to play Bubblegum Pop, you should at least have a signature song. They don’t.
