Everybody has heard his voice, whether they know it or not, as he had a whole bunch of different ones that he did brilliantly, but few know what he looked like. His talent for diverse voices was every bit the equal of Mel Blanc's, in my opinion. It's hard to believe that the funereal tones of the "Ghost Host" of Disney's Haunted Mansion are by the same fellow voicing the manic, Ludwig Von Drake! <BR/><BR/>I imagine that Paul Frees was able to live a life of near anonymity, rarely being recognized on the street despite his massive body of voice work in movies, theme parks and cartoons. For those who are curious, he can be seen onscreen notably in Sinatra's "Suddenly", as well as in the beginning of the Robert Mitchum film, "His Kind of Woman". He's also the psychiatrist assessing Fred Macmurray in "The Shaggy Dog".Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-39841456079504737192008-02-06T21:31:00.000-08:002008-02-06T21:31:00.000-08:00I actually enjoyed doing scratch tracks when I was...I actually enjoyed doing scratch tracks when I was at Disney some years ago. However, it is work, and a two hour session can leave you exhausted.<BR/><BR/>I got to know and work with the great Paul Frees at Disney back in the sixties. He was a master, and could do anything.Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.com
