Originally Aired on the Disney Channel May 1985 (#12 in The Series of 20 Disney Family Albums)
Disney Animators always record the voice first, giving them the ability to draw on the inspiration of the voice actor. Those vocal performances often influence the on-screen personality of the character. This episode of The Disney Family Album looks at some of the many voice actors that are the voices behind some of Disney’s most beloved characters. Interviews in this episode include: John Byner, Phil Harris, Will Ryan, Sterling Holloway, Dickie “Pinocchio” Jones, Paul Winchell, Wayne Allwine, Hal Smith, Alan Young, John Hurt, Kathryn Beaumont, Eva Gabor, Adrianna Caselotti and Ward Kimball all talking about the animation process and what helps bring those character voices to life. This episode was dedicated to Clarence “Ducky” Nash, who passed away in 1985 – after participating in the first Disney Family Album – the lost episode.
