Because it's usually exciting even if it's a brief teaser/scene! Marvel tends to do it all the time anyway so I'm used to sitting until the end.

I agree! I love to sit through the credits just to see if they're going to do an extra teaser scene!

I'll bet a lot of people didn't know that they did that for the Pirates of the Carib. movies, too!

Thanks to everyone for the heads up. I have not seen the movie, seen the credits, or even been near a theater lately. This is one I REALLY want to see though - so I may have to create some time to visit the local Regal.

I didn't know until I heard about it the first time around so the second time I went, I waited and saw it.

it is written by Richard Sherman, who wrote the original lyrics to the "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" and "It's A Small World". As his brother is not around with us anymore to compose the music,

Just as a clarification, Robert B. Sherman has been living in England for quite some time and he has turned to painting. The brothers have an estranged relationship so it would explain why Debney wrote the music.

I just wanted to throw that clarification out there so people don't think Robert has passed away. (We had been given some wrong information at one point and we long thought Robert was gone, but thanks to the documentary that their sons made, we realized our mistake

)

Thanks for the clarification, I had read that and thought Robert Sherman had passed away. Did they explain in the documentary the reason for estrangement?

Well, let's put it this way. They're brothers. They lived together, worked together, played together, but they weren't "friends". They never really got along...I gathered it was because of how different their personalities are. Richard is loud and outgoing and Robert is quiet.

I don't recall a specific incident that split them up. I think they just chose to live their lives separately.

The documentary was quite an eye-opener. We're hoping it comes out on DVD.

I would be interested in seeing that ~ do you recall the name of the documentary? or when it was first shown?

It's called "the boys". We saw it screened at the D23 expo in September and at that time they were in the process of trying to get it released on DVD.

Thanks ~ I will have to watch out for that one...I've always been in awe of their songwriting talents!

Thanks, MmeLeota, because I actually read it that - "not around with us" - any more. Tacky way to say he's moved to England, but I like other readers would have assumed he's died! Thanks for the correction!

No, he is very much alive and well. s far as I know he spends most of his time painting these days.

That's a shame, it's disappointing to see such a great talent go un-used.

And from what I saw in the credits, only Robert was credited for writing the song that was used in the film.

Ooops, you're right! That's what I get for confirming the info on the net - not the most reliable of news sources!
