** Although Rex and Herb first appeared on Vinton's short ''Dinosaurs'', their first appearance as critics was on ''Festival of Claymation'', a compilation video of Claymation shorts. The pair play hosts in linking segments, but with each one their arguments escalate, and by the end they come to blows. Siskel and Ebert were particularly fond of Rex and Herb and featured clips in some of their retrospective shows.
