Michael Winslow - Police Academy: 20th Anniversary Edition

Michael Winslow - Police Academy: 20th Anniversary Edition signed DVD cover

I'm a child of the 80s and the guest announcement at Collectormania Manchester 4 of Michael Winslow filled me with the most exciting. I must have collectivly seen the Police Academy movies 100s of times and Winslow was certainly one was of the most memorable parts of the 7 movies. I got 4 signatures of Winslow on 4 different DVDs (the other three are the three entries below this)

Meeting Winslow in person was really cool, he particularly took the most interest in my Robot Chicken DVD. But his Q&A was absolutely awesome doing most of his vocal effects included those we all remember from Police Academy, Spaceballs and Gremlins. It was absolutely hilarious and he had the crowd laughing there arses off!

and for your enjoyment a selection of Michael Winslow scenes from Police Academy!

Michael Winslow - Robot Chicken Season Two

Michael Winslow - Robot Chicken Season Two signed DVD cover

Robot Chicken, if you don't know is a funny animated sketch show using toys (a lot of them I remember with fondess from my childhood) and is a show like Family Guy that is really suitable for the pop culture junkie.

When I passed this to Michael Winslow to sign at Collectormania Manchester 4 he told me about his experience of the show and seemed pleased that someone had brought this for him to sign.

Michael Winslow - Spaceballs

Michael Winslow - Spaceballs signed DVD cover

Spaceballs is one of them movies I must have seen a million times when I was a kid. Michael Winslow as a small but memorable role.

Who knows in the future maybe I could add convention veterans such as Tim Russ and Stephen Tobolowsky to the DVD cover (even John Hurt as done one in the past).
