Doctor Neo Cortex
- ... that the Crash Bandicoot character Doctor Neo Cortex was kept stationary in many of his early appearances because his model's short legs kept him from walking properly? Source: "He could never really walk with those short legs. He had to do a weird thrusting tra-la-la dance. But he looked cool so we just kept him stationary most of the time." [1]
- ALT1:... that although voice actor Clancy Brown left his role as Doctor Neo Cortex for financial reasons, his replacement Lex Lang was told that Vivendi Universal Games considered Brown's performance to be "too mean"? Source: [2][3]

Date of GA and length fine. However @Cat's Tuxedo: I'd like to promote the original but I do need to ask, what makes All Things Andy Gavin a WP:RS? I ask as it appears to be more of a blog than an RS. Also it might be beneficial if you do mention Crash Bandicoot in the hook too. The QPQ is done with no close paraphrasing. Please ping me with your response and I will have another look at it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- @The C of E: Andy Gavin is the co-creator of Crash Bandicoot, so as far as that particular subject goes, any platform managed by him can be safely considered reliable. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
OK, I'll accept that. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
