For some strange reason, when I heard this, the first memory that popped into my head was him as the showman in "Dr Doolittle," singing "I've Never Seen Anything Like It," when he first saw the pushme-pullyou. The image of that happy, dancing little man is how I will always remember him, despite all of his more famous roles.
