i adore the ln chaney version of phantom and i appreciate webber version if only for the grow interest in the book and wish i find more of a mystery slash horror with the romantic aspect downplay . i do not approve of the fact that andrew lloyd webber make the relationship between raoul and christine less restrain . luckily since this be a comedic short with only erik and christine this version doesn not even have to bother with any other character . i think i would still be wait for another version to match up lon performance . i be dead wrong . leslie nielson be fabulous a erik though and of course this be a spoof . it still brilliant . i especially appreciate the fact that erik look more like a living corpse than an accident victim . i still have a of yet to see a phantom like that and other than lon . however and i do not recommend this short if you do not like spoof . because this be in no way suppose to be take seriously .
