		<description>Three of the five are new to me.

The Lea Salonga clip is adorable. I don't know what it is about Asian voices (for want of a better generalisation), ... and granted, I haven't really heard that many ... but they seem to have such purity and precision along with great emotion.  The best Eponine I've heard is on the International Cast Recording of Les Mis. Kaho Shimada is Japanese and learned the English lyrics phonetically for the recording, but she is exquisite, and heartbreaking.

I think you know I love Eddie Izzard.  :)
Although he is extremely adept at miming, and that's part of why I love his act, I must say the Death Star Canteen routine takes on a whole new lease of life in Lego-world!  Brilliant! Have you seen his Star Trek bit? Or did I show that to you once? (There might be two, I can't remember if he does Star Trek on just one of his DVDs or two.)  Probably not as good as that, but still ...

Trogdor the Burninator is beautifully random.
My favourite bit is the "thatched roof COT-TAGES!!!"  :D</description>
