A Boy Named Crow Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I have this memory of a cartoon film from the 80s, about mice moving to America. It featured a song called There Are No Cats In America, to the tune of America from West Side Story. Googling it turned up a cartoon that exactly fits the bill, but the tune used in the song is completely different. Google Isn’t giving me the answers!

Unknown user Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I'm sure I remember Celtic's kit deal ending, them signing up with Gola, releasing kits, then withdrawing them and going with someone else after a couple of weeks as they were falling apart in the wash. I can't find a link anywhere but I swear it happened, probably late 90s. Anyone else remember it? Edited May 17, 2019 by Smithee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
