** The Critic also points out that the concept of characters playing other characters is not new, at least in child-oriented media, specifically showing ''WesternAnimation/MickeyAndTheBeanstalk'', ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny as ComicBook/{{Superman}}, and even then, not only are such roles usually PlayedForLaughs, but the characters don't deviate much from their established personalities.
** While noting that the concept of acting entails the fact that there is usually some dissonance between the performer and his/her role, the Critic makes an exception for Creator/JackNicholson and Creator/JeffGoldblum, actors known for being as quirky in real life as most of their most iconic roles.
