Tom Cruise Day '14


   Tom Cruise is in fact so multi-talented, he even time traveled and cartoonized himself to appear in this, completely terrifying out-of-context early '80s apparently sci-fi animation from Soviet animation company Soyuzmultfilm, Тайна третьей планеты. The Mystery of the Third Planet, based on an installment in a popular series of Russian children's books.

 

   Or, at least, the dude here kinda sounds like Tom Cruise, and definitely looks like him. Though, according to Wikipedia, it would appear that in the English translation, this character is voiced by Dan "Homer Simpson" Castellaneta.

   I just found this file clearing out all of the old Russian cartoon samples I had downloaded from the internet. Good thing, too, since it looks like the site I got them from came down with a bad case of the junk codes. At least I had snagged some Winnie-the-Pooh and Hedgehog in the Fog samples in that time.


   Really, though, (fun fact) an animated character consciously modeled off of Tom, Cruise? Aladdin.


Not that one. (Via Last.fm)

   You know what? We can totally see it.
