As mentioned before (and by myself many times over in alt.animation.warner-bros.<a URL=http://www.google.com]Browse go trhough alt:animation:warner-bros then etner subject[/URL] many shorts (and other animation) had more than one person doing the voice of a character in the same short.
Not to be exhaustive, but anyway..
Warners
"Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938) Mel Blanc, of course, does almost all of Bugs but the short's director Ben Hardaway filled in ("Of course you know, this means war") as the proto-Bugs.
"Fagin's Freshmen" (1938) ALso directed by hardaway (with Cal Dalton), the voice of Fagin is no less possible than three actors: Frank Graham, Phil Kramer and Lionel Stander!
"Porky's Tire Trouble" (1939) While ace villianous one-voicer Billy Bletcher plays (audio-wise, of course) Porky's boss [the walrus] Mel Blanc does some lines ("I hate DOGS!") near the end.
It's posibly Mel or someone else going "He's not there either? ("Little Red Riding Rabbit",1944) with Billy B. as the wolf otherwise. This was Mel's very first onscreen credit.
Many Elmer Fudd roles have Mel filling in very briefly for Arthur Q.Bryan, the radio actor who normally did Elmer's voice.[1940-c.1959---Mel Blanc himself in "Stupid Cupid", 1944,and "Scarlet Pumpernicmkel" in 1950 and the just late [-see POV.Online (http://www.POVonline.com) <Dave Barry[??][not the humorist by this name] in "Pre-Hysterical Hare" in 1958 filled in entirely as Mr.Fudd.Of course the latter was made shortly before the death of Bryan, so he must've been iby then]."The Big Snooze" [Bob Clampett's last film, 1946], "What's Opera Doc" [1957].
I've mentioned many times the following:
Stan Freberg (?) and Mel Blanc (for drunk scenes) as Elmo, the country mouse (Arthur Davis's obscure masterpiece "A Hick,A Slick and a Chick",,1948which I have taped off the Oct.8,2000 8:00 am.broadcast and Jim Backus and Mel Blanc as the wolf in "Windblown Hare",1949, both cases of whcih I know I've recently mentioned.
In "Bear Feat"(Jones, 1949), Bletcher does Papa BEar but Mel does the Yosemite Sam voice "1928" for Pa at the end, so he is heard thereon...Mel also fillied in, in that role I just remembered as Pa in Jones's earlir "
What's Brewin'; Bruin" (1948).
It's also possible that in "Hiss and Make Up" and some othe rearlky granny shorts Sara Berner did some voices for Granny but had to do a radio show or a Spike Jones record or something and ergo Bea Benaderet was featured in some vocal scenes.
Almost EVERY Disney film since "Bambiu",in 1942 has had more than one voice for some characters.
"The Flinstones" often had Fred Flintstone's future voice Henry Corden (duh!) filling in for Alan Reed as Fred when singing BUUT..
in the Oct.1965 episode "No Biz like Show Biz" when Pebbles and Bamm Bamm sing "Let the sun shine in" (you know, as in... "Mommy told me something/A Little kid should know...:cool: )
:rolleyes: and which turns out to be just a dream, Fred shows HE can sing, so Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna had Alan Reed himself sing.
(BTW in one of the most cartoony sitcoms and my all time favorite sitcom, "Gilligan's Island", Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) was dubbed many times by singer Jackie DeShannon BUT (again) Dawn herse;lf dsang when she trips and thinks she's Ginger.
Many cartoon studios - in fact, all it seems - in the 30s, 40s,50s, and 60s, had shorts with more than one person doing a voice.
For instance, Joe Blow in a 1938 Warner, Disney, MGM, Columbia, Flesicher, Terrytoons, or Walter Lantz cartoon short might be voiced by say, Joe Kearns (Dennis the Menace B&W series and the Disney Doorknob in 1951's version of "Alice in Wonderland"), then Elliot Lewis (another obscure oldtime radio actor), and then Mel Blanc might do a few lines or a Jane Doe might have the voice of Bernice Hansen and then Templeton Fox , a radio actress of the odlk days (yes, it;s not an obscure E.B.White character from some fifth son of Charlotte's web, there once was really a soap opera radio actress named Templeton Fox), or Sara Berner, so forth.
BTW There was a huyge number of REALLY obscure voices many not mentioned in ANY animation book covering that time. Norman Nesbitt, Norman Rose (in Total Television's 1963 "Tennesse Tuxedo"), Lloyd Turner, known for his witty WB and Jay Ward writing, and many people known for other things.. and so forth who did voiceovers in older shorts, even music director Bernard Brown who was said (FUNNYWORLD 1983) to be a voice for Buddy.Radio announcer Johnny Murral was said (in cited work) to be Bosko's voice.
Finally the voice of the dog in Clampett's 1944 "Hare Ribbin", for obscure voices (this is a one-voice character, that is, with n o fill in voices since no one seems to aks, is Sammy Wolf (again according to the FUNNYWORLD cited above).
