<p id=”par-4_23″>He said that he bonded with McCartney over this. Jackson said McCartney was the only one who liked cartoons more than he did.</p>
<p id=”par-5_35″>“I’ve only met one person who has a bigger collection than I do, and I was surprised – Paul McCartney,” he said. “He’s a cartoon fanatic. Whenever I go to his house, we watch cartoons.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_13″>He said they put cartoons on in the studio when <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/1-paul-mccartney-wings-songs-written-michael-jackson.html/”>they worked together.</a></p>
<p id=”par-7_45″>“When we came here to work on my album, we rented all these <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/brian-wilsons-favorite-disney-song-dumbo.html/”>cartoons from the studio, <em>Dumbo</em></a> and some other stuff,” he said. “It’s real escapism. It’s like everything’s all right. It’s like the world is happening now in a faraway city. Everything’s fine.”</p>
