Someone had scribbled on the note, "God forbid anyone other than Michael Eisner should make a buck!"  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-09-2009 04:54 AM                 It has been 1398 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 07-09-2009 04:54 AM                        Sorry to rehash this old thread, but I came across one again: quote: Allison Parsons I usually draw a crappy looking robot and date it. this one was in one of the cans for Ice Age 3:  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-09-2009 07:33 PM                     I've seen a can with a robot like that too.

Hoyts were once Australia's largest and most prestigeous theatre chain.......times have changed!  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-06-2009 11:41 AM                     I've found at least 4 or 5 robots over the years.

Some of these cans say "RKO Radio Pictures!!"
