Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for-the ZOLTAN fortune-teller’s post. The video down below talks about ZOLTAN. I used this video in my last post, and it recycled for this post as well. Now, although the video above tells you pretty much about the machine, here’s the story about it: This fortune-teller was built way back from 1969. In this machine, Zoltan wears an orange and yellow hat with orange and blue flaps through the sides. On the top of the hat there is a yellow circle with a smaller, red circle in the middle. He wears red, long-sleeved shirt with yellow sleeve-ends […]
ZOLTAR and ZOLTAN….Alike or Different?
ZOLTAR SPEAKS is wishing (or fortune-telling) machine form Tom Hank’s 1988 film “BIG”. Here it inserts a quarter, or 25 cents, into it, aims the ramp at Zoltar’s mouth, makes a wish, presses a red button to release the coin, throws the coin in Zoltar’s mouth, and tosses out a card that says, “YOUR WISH IS GRANTED”. This version of ZOLTAR SPEAKS is very rare. Another fortune-telling machine is ZOLTAN way back 1969, which was NOT in the movie. Here it inserts a dime, or 10 cents, picks up a telephone, presses a button on the bottom scale, lights up the […]
All of the Singing-Love Duets Moved Ahead….
First things first, I have some love songs in this post. And ALL of them are sung by duets. First song is one duet by Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston way back from 1984, and it’s called “HOLD YOU”. A Disney duet song is “A WHOLE NEW WORLD” (from the movie ALADDIN in 1992) by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. 3 other songs were recorded by this duet to date: “WITHOUT YOU (from the movie LEONARD PART 6 in 1987)”, “I CAN’T IMAGINE (in 1991)”, and “TOTAL PRAISE (in 2009)”. All 3 are shown below. Another Disney duet song with […]
Zoltar Speaks
In Tom Hanks’s 1988 movie BIG, as you probably know, there is a fortune teller machine named ZOLTAR SPEAKS. ZOLTAR Speaks is a machine that grants your wish for a quarter by getting the coin into Zoltar’s mouth through a ramp, and he makes breathing noises. And yes, I have heard there a series of ZOLTAR FORTUNE-TELLER machines, but in my opinion, they look nothing like the one in the film. Plus, they don’t even grant a wish at all. They just speak and tell your fortune through a crystal ball. Also, there is another fortune-telling machine way back […]
