Not so much following it as trying to skip over it. ;-)

I have no opinion on the subject at hand.

Yeah, I ended up downloading them myself, which I had forgotten.  They 
might've been on my crashed hard drive.

The problem with having large hard drives is remembering what's actually 
on them and where it is.

Heh, I didn't even take Biology in high school - I did well in chem 
there, but when it came time to play at college, I bombed miserably.  10 
credit hours (had to take it twice) and couldn't wrap my head around 
chemical balancing equations and organic chem.  The first, I think, was 
the prof's fault - stupid me, I took the class twice with him.

Oh, yeah, there is that.  Though the way he went and went and went in 
Aladdin was apparently very entertaining.

Trying to skip over it?  Not trying very hard, it seems. ;-)

LOL! I had trouble with the long words as well, though ultimately I could 
learn to say them.  Oddly enough, my first time through, I got a B on the 
labwork and failed the course.  Second time through, I got an A on the 
labwork adn a D on the classroom work.

In the interview I referred to before, he talks about it - I have only 
seen pieces of the final film myself.  What he said, though, was they had 
about 16 hours of material to choose from - he just started and kept on 
going.  The animators were there watching and getting ideas so they could 
animate the genie after the final lines were chosen.

A very nontraditional way for doing animation, at least for Disney. :-)

I don't remember having seen this before. It was apparently created 
(mostly?) in POV and they say that it is even hosted on the povray site. 
So I'd expect there was an announcement on p.g or p.b.a. Can't find that 
however.

I always learn better with hands-on classroom elements.  Straight 
memorisation is not my forte.

He was over here recently, either that or it was an old programme. I can't
remember who the chat show host was. I don't think it was Jonathan Woss (may he
receive his P45) or I would not have watched it.

I don't know what it was with me and chemistry. I thought that I was good at it
until I went to university. It could have been zoology for all I knew. Or it
could have been the vast quantities of alcohol I consumed.
