CLOPIN -- Wearing several hats in his guise as narrator, master of ceremonies and King of the Gypsies is this energetic and entertaining rascal voiced by stage star Paul Kandel (Uncle Ernie in Broadway's "Tommy"). Michael Surrey, whose credits include supervising the scene-stealing antics for a meerkat named Timon in "The Lion King," oversaw the animation of this wiry character who always keeps the proceedings lively and a bit unpredictable.
