Voice Acting Venture
Don Knotts went into voice acting in 1987 and voiced the character Gee Willikers in the animated movie Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night. Unfortunately, critics generally gave negative reviews about the film during its initial release. The movie was also a box office dud, only making $3.2 million during its entire run but costing $10 million to make. Filmation, the production company that made the film, soon became defunct.

After A Long Hiatus
In 1996, after a pretty long hiatus from movies, Don Knotts appeared in the comedy-drama Big Bully, which stars Tom Arnold and Rick Moranis as childhood classmates who reconnect as adults. Arnold played the bully of Moranis’ character and Don Knotts’ role was that of the principal. The movie bombed at the box office and grossed only $2,042,530 despite having a $15 million budget. Also, it was a critical failure and currently holds a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
