Disney cartoons

[dougc]

I've been away for a few days, so I have a lot of catching up to do.
The cable system in my city just made the Disney Channel part of its basic lineup (meaning we don't have to pay extra to get it). Posters who complained about the lack of classic Disney programming are right -- there just isn't much except late night ("The Mickey Mouse Club", "Walt Disney Presents," and the "Ink and Paint Club."
Anyway, I have three questions about the cartoons that I saw on the "Ink and Paint Club" that I wanted to ask:
(1) In "Donald's Double Trouble" the voice of the double sounds a lot like the fox in the Droopy cartoon ("Outfoxed"?) where Droopy gets a steak for every fox he brings back. Is it the same person who voiced both? Could that voice be Daws Butler's?
(2) One show featured Jiminy Cricket cartoons that seemed to be educational in nature (such as teaching about safety when having fun or around electricity, and about senses of touch and hearing). I can't find any reference to these in the Disney filmography in Leonard Maltin's book. Is anyone familiar with these cartoons and when they were produced? Were they distributed to schools?
(3) In the Goofy cartoon "Two Weeks Vacation," the narrator sounds like Alan Reed (Fred Flintstone). Am I correct?

For questions 1 and 3, I can't answer you. You can possibly find out at The Internet Movie Database www.imdb.com by searching the title and checking the cast listing.

Your second question on the Jiminey Crickets: They were originally mostly done for The Mickey Mouse Club and later released for use in schools. Not having had theatrical release, they would not be covered by Maltin's excellent book. For info on specific titles, go to:

I can help with questions 1 and 3!

1) No, that is not Butler doing the voice of the double in "Donald's Double Trouble". It is a man named Leslie Denison who also did the voice of Donald after his voice transformation in "Donald's Dream Voice" and the suave narration behind "Donald's Diary". He also did some voices in the "Mr. Toad" segment of "Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad".

3) You are correct, sir! That is indeed Alan Reed doing the narrator in "Two Weeks Vacation". He also did most of the incidental voices in the cartoon (i.e. the traffic cop, the hitchhiker, and the auto mechanic who sounds a LOT like Touche Turtle's sidekick, Dum-Dum, in my opinion).

I think you forgot a ".com" (but then everybody does that every now and then... ) :D

Is this the right address? http://www.animationhistory.com/disneyanimation/ (www.animationhistory.com/disneyanimation/)

Boy, is my face red! Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! How I missed that, I'll never know! Early senility is my best guess. Thank you for your courtesy when pointing it out. Yes, your's is right.

There is something called Donald's Quack Attack on TOON DISNEY. Still not enough.
