Which famous disney actor born in 1917 and died in 1982 played his last role for Disney in the film The cat from outer space.

1. Name the actor ?

My mistake, I didn't realise Talbot Sunbeam had won it and you are right, I didn't get Abarth.

Btw, have a look at your post #3733.

I didn't include 'Sunbeam' as one of the six as it was the model rather than the make.
Why they included it in the team name I don't know.

Didn't Sunbeam become part of Talbot? IIRC, the original car was the Sunbeam Lotus and later it became the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. I might be wrong as it was a long time ago!

You might be right. All I remember was as a kid our next door neighbours had a red Talbot Sunbeam.
Our next door neighbour was so proud (boastful even) about it as he bought it brand new.

About a week later, just after he had washed it for about the fifth time since he'd had it, a lorry came down our road, and it's brakes must have failed as it stoved the back of the Sunbeam in using it to stop, and then smashed the front in pushing it against a tree.

Oh how we laughed, although thinking about it, the lorry could have killed us kids if we'd still been playing football where it ended up. Made the local news paper as well.

On the assumption we are talking Disney animations there aren't many with male villains. The ones that come to mind are :

Peter Pan - Cpt Hook
Jungle Book - Kaa
Robin Hood - Sheriff of Nottingham or Prince John the latter being Peter Ustinov

So one of them ?

Correct it is one of those. First guess is often the best :)

Peter Pan - Cpt Hook then

No idea of the actor without looking it up though

Hans Conried was the actor. He was most famous for the captain hook role but also played parts in dr suess and rocky and bullwinkle amoungst others. Your turn zag.

An easy one that I found out by doing some homework with my 8 year old daughter

What weighs 5,940,000,000,000,000,000,000 metric tons and travels at 66,700 mph?
