'I have ten little friends... Tarantino reference?


... and they all run faster than you". Is this where Tarantino got the line for Dusk til Dawn? I can't believe he was ever into Disney movies. Or did the line originate somewhere else?

A long time ago Tarantino was on David Letterman and he indicated that the dance Uma Thurman did in the club was from "The Aristocats" another Disney film about cats, so it's possible he took the line from "That Darn Cat" however I think it might be from an old Gangster movie from the 30's or 40's.

Probably. Thanks.

Tarantino once quoted a line from THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE on a talk show. That's a fairly obscure Disney film, one of their few 60's films that wasn't re-released during the 70's. So he may very well be a fan.

He's probably seen every movie ever made. He used to work in a video store. Also, Neville Brand is someone he'd definitely glom onto. I could see Tarantino using him in one of his movies today if he was still alive, the way he resurrected alot of older actors, like Robert Forster in Jackie Brown, and Michael Parks in Kill Bill.

As someone said, Tarantino has probably seen every movie ever made. He was also a kid once. And Disney has kind of been on top since the 40s.
