Imagineering & You: Cranium Command Celebrities

Walt Disney World: If Cranium Command was ever updated and reopened, who would you hire to play the various body parts?

Tim W. recently created a thread about reopening the Wonders of Life pavilion at Epcot. I suggested that Cranium Command be updated and reimplemented into the pavilion as it was one of Epcot's finest attractions. With a new version would come a slew of entertainers and comedians required to play the body's organs, muscles, and other parts.

So - who would you choose to play the brain (left and right), the lungs, the liver, the stomach, etc. in an updated version of this classic?

To give this ride a fresh feel, they should use actors or singers who today are on top. I would really like to see one voiced by johnny depp, another voiced by jim carrey, miley cyrus can maybe have a part too. I just think they should use fresh faces however

Excellent ideas! I like yours alot, but I will put some new ones down just for more of a variety.

Bobby (the boy): Micheal Musso
Buzzy (the pilot): Micheal Musso
General Knowlege: Corey Burton (I think the original)
Right Ventricle: Luke Wilson
Left Ventricle:Vince Vaugh
Right Brain: Robin WIlliams
Left Brain: John Stewart
Stomach: Keven James
Bladder: Demitri Martin
Adrenal Gland: Jim Carey (perfect)
Hypothalamus: Harold Ramis

I think I like your list better, but I just added more to discuss.

Yours is also more realistic too (like it could happen)!

Thanks Anthony! I really like the idea of having John Stewart as one of the brains! I didnt think of that one...and Robin Williams is a good choice too

Kevin James is an excellent idea for the stomach. You guys have some great ideas!!! I have been stumped. I would like to see someone British for the left side of the brain, very proper and such, someone like Colin Firth or Alan Rickman.

Right Ventricle: Jay 'N
Left Ventricle: Silent Bob
Right Brain: Steve Carell
Left Brain: Steve Colbert
Stomach: Seth Rogan
Bladder: Ricky Gervais
Adrenal Gland: James Franco
Hypothalamus: Morgan Freeman


This list was pretty hard to make because the last two were great! I wish I could have thought of them first!

My favorite picks so far (of your ideas):

Bladder: John Ratzenberg
Adrenal Gland: Jim Carrey
Hypothalamus: Harold Ramis (though I think he'd be better as the left brain) or Morgan Freeman
Left Brain: Stephen Colbert

My ideas:

General Knowlege: R. Lee Ermey (Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket; Army Sarge from Toy Story)
Right Brain: Kelsey Grammer
Left Brain: Bill Murray
Stomach: Don Rickles ("Oh, God, what is THAT? Seriously, chuckles, lay off the Pop Tarts")
Bladder: Ellen Degeneres, constantly hopping around like she has to pee
Adrenal Gland: Louis Black
Hypothalamus: Steven Wright

NEW PARTS

Liver: Nick Frost (of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame - party animal persona)
Small intestine: Norm MacDonald ("Oh yeah, that's good - more bacteria; just what I need. Seriously, what do you eat?")
Lungs: Ron White (of Blue Collar fame; smokes a cigar and drinks rye on the rocks)
Heart: Billy Crystal on a treadmill
Kidneys: Jim Carrey and Chris Rock as neighbors that hate each other
Pancreas: Jerry Seinfeld ("What's the deal with hormones?")

Maybe later I'll compose the body with my favorite picks. And feel free to add body parts that weren't in the previous version.

Oh how did I not think of Don Rickles! He is hilarious and would be perfect as the stomach!

He just seems like a bitter stomach kind-of-guy. Gotta love 'em.
