John Candy Rides The Rails
In the kids magazine 'Disney Adventures' of March 11, 1991, is a very nice interview with John. According to interviewer Robert Crane they "caught him between recording the voice of the camp counselor on his animated television show 'Camp Candy', and shooting 'The Rescuers Down Under', 'Delirious' and 'Only the Lonely'." The last episode of 'Camp Candy' aired on October 27, 1990 and 'Delirious' had a test preview in October 1990. So this interview was held prior to October. To determine exactly when the interview took place I'd have to know when John worked on 'The Rescuers Down Under'. You might wonder why John is depicted as a conductor. Well, the main theme of this magazine is trains. In the interview John tells about his qualities as a cook, being a class clown, Canada, not being keen on flying, summer holidays, 'Camp Candy' and more.
