Hooked on a Ceiling


Why was Michelangelo dressed as an ancient Roman when he lived during the Renaissance? Was it someone's idea of a joke, or was it a mistake that he was dressed over 1,000 years out of date?

reply

It is a cartoon after all.

Michelangelo is drawn and voiced to be a parody of Kurt Douglas in Spartacus, for whatever reason, so I'm guessing the wardrobe is just meant to be in keeping with that.

Okay. I didn't notice the resemblance before, though that just makes it more puzzling... You'd think if they were going to caricaturize an actor for Michelangelo, Charlton Heston would have been the obvious choice.
