RIP Mr. LaFontaine.

->> Thanks for posting this Allen. I sure learned alot about Mr. LaFontaine. After I saw "My Date With Drew," I erroneously thought George DelHoyo was the king of the movie trailers (Mr. Voice). But I see now that George has sort of adopted Mr. LaFontaine's deep voice style, as many others have. My hat is still off to Mr. DelHoyo, but I have such respect for Mr. LaFontaine, being the original.

I agree with Stan, Pablo Francisco did an incredible job with his impression of Mr. LaFontaine.

It was neat to see the voice of Disney and others as well. Rest in Peace Mr. Don LaFontaine, you're my hero!
