    "The Many Lives of Robert Loggia" (16:30). Lifelong Disney fan Leonard Maltin catches up with the actor, who you're apt to know more from Big, Scarface, or Independence Day, as Loggia turns on the memory machine (Maltin's phrase, not mine). He recalls developing the character of Elfego with Walt, having had no prior experience with horse-riding or other ways of the West, appearing at Disneyland in 1959, and other occurrences tied to his breakthrough television role.
    There are a few noticeable (and probably unnecessary) edits to the interview, which result in tone changes in the middle of statements and Loggia saying a grand total of one sentence on voicing Sykes in Oliver & Company. On the whole, though, it's still very neat to hear Maltin chat with Loggia, who clearly holds fond (and vivid) memories from the series. Loggia even shares a funny anecdote about when the "yuppies" finally noticed him. Plus, he puts on his old hat and points his old gun at old Lenny, making this one bonus you definitely won't want to miss.
