Walt Disney Treasures - Tony Anselmo Interview (Part 1/2)

[@Chaeley]

I can't believe that voice can come out from that man. I've watched the beginning over and over again and I still can't puzzle it out. Totally amazing.

[@sbarrow06]

my personal favorite character!!! I can't believe this guy voices Donald Duck! DONALD DUCK!!!!!!! So Amazing!!!

[@daswitzer70]

Wonderful interview. Leonard Maltin just lights up when he hears that voice come out of that mouth. Amazing!

[@Aginor27]

Leonard's genuine joy is so great.

[@MrGabeanator]

ikr

[@Daidoro]

Clearance Nash was the very first original voice of Donald Duck who trained Tony Anselmo in the mid 80's before his final role in "Mickey's Disney Carol".

[@berkangursoy]

Absolutely amazing. Great to learn about him, Disney and how he came to be with Disney.

[@isaiahwilliams2642]

Voice actors are extremely underrated. Without their voices, the characters wouldn't be shit! I mean, look at all the characters in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," if the voice actors didn't give them their personalities, the film wouldn't have been as funny, and yet all people seem to care about is Bob Hosckins acting. Barely anyone comments on the fact that it was the first movie to feature characters from seperate studios together, or that it was Mel Blancs last film as the Looney Tunes, or that the animators and special effects artists were able to make these characters come to life as if they really existed. Tony says in part two of this interview that he dosen't think Clarence Nash got the credit he deserved until it was too late, and hard to disagree. They deserve just as much credit as your average celebrity voice actors who were already famous! Voice actors like Frank Welker, Jim Cummings, Tony Anselmo, and Bill Farmer all too deserve to be on popular talk shows, recieve awards from MTV, the Golden Globes, or the Oscars, before it's too late.

[@tombfan]

They do!!!!! They do an even MORE AMAZING JOB! Than most of the so-called "voice actors" who are just... well... famous actors with the same voice.

[@austinpearce5442]

And Christopher Lloyd as Judge Doom who scares the living crap out of me.

[@patrickmanway290]

Could you imagine SpongeBob without his voice?

[@patrickmanway290]

IMO, they are just as important as the creator od the character sometimes. Can you imagine spongebob without Tom Kenney?

[@m2sciarra]

Clarence Nash would be very proud of tony for carrying on his legacy as donald duck, both of them are hilarious

[@yaysonic]

Love him- he does a great job :) Man I envy his story though! Sounds too good to be true! Wish I was that lucky dang!

[@wrmty56413]

Bless Leonard! He's like a kid in a candy-store in this interview!

[@dawnbrady3815]

Tony, I love that voice you did compared to Clarence Nash. Well done Tony Anselmo.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

This is so neat. I never seen the man behind the voice. I see that Disney is not manufacturing Walt Disney Treasures DVD's anymore. Does this mean they aim to release them on Disney Blu-Ray soon?

[@disneyfan85]

My sister saw Tony very recently at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco!

[@MrSammyD91]

Okay, who was the moron that gave this a dislike? Donald is awesome, especially seeing his voice actor performing that part.

[@BaarBear]

I know Anselmo was an animator before he was a voice actor. I've always wondered how this previous experience has impacted his voice work.

[@timrob12]

I wonder if he corrects himself when he makes mistakes when drawing Donald. (Like having Donald comment on him missing a leg or so)

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

"Oh boy!" It's so much fun and opposite of frustrating to reconnect with our unique and talented voice actor/artist. Stay safe everyone!

[@disneyfan85]

My sister had the good fortune to see Tony himself at the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco (she works there as a volunteer). She even had him autograph a luggage tag for me.

[@Chaos2ThaWorld1]

LOL what a guy I love his Donald`s voice

[@sakurasoh]

It is so hard to voice donald duck. He always impressed me each time he speak like donald....

[@oldmancrenshaw8782]

This is a great interview and expresses Tony's dedication to the authenticity of Donald's voice and his devotion to the legacy of the vision Walt and Clarence had for Donald Duck.

[@Samuel-b]

I'm apparently just a day late but happy 56th birthday mr tony anselmo! Thank you for giving me an awesome childhood along with wayne allwine, russi taylor, bill farmer, tress macneill, and jim cummings, and we love you very much.

[@BaarBear]

I've always wondered if Tony's background in animation helps him with his work doing Donald's voice.

[@patrickmanway290]

That's he met Clarence Nash!

[@MrPchism6]

I want to say I love Mr Tony Anselmo a lot of the voice of Donald duck

[@ink1931]

HOLY CRAP!

[@TrueBlueRoyal]

These are so cool. Wish I can find the full interview with Wayne Allwine and Russi Tyalor.

[@isaiahwilliams2642]

5:19 That's how I hope to meet Tony Anselmo or Seth McFarlene

[@deraidos45]

No difference with Nash's version! it's the same!

[@sesamefan4049]

In terms of big words, Donald has said "unconstitutional" and "exasperating".

[@KeybladeMaster121000]

Dont kno how he does Donald's voice

[@timrob12]

He learned it from the original man: Clarence Nash. I bet Nash knew the big secret which Tony will pass on at the right time to a sucessor.

[@HannahBoltForever]

0:11 "Lol totally sounds like him!" 0:23 "WAITWUT O.O"

[@masonblankenship7677]

7:08 even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

[@SystemOFaBIZKIT103]

im going to CalArts after i graduate :)

[@patriksjorgensen]

How The Hell Does He Do That Voice?!

[@andreapatane4204]

He puts an air pocket in his cheek instead of inhaling helium.

[@kelsadilla367]

Clarence Nash coached him. He taught him to speak Donald Duck.

[@gamestation2690]

Don't forget the upcoming Zorro season sets. When they come out, they'll bring the total number of Walt Disney Treasure DVDs to 30.

[@octaviogutierrez5355]

Wow :)

[@Airserb]

@Chaeley me too man cant believe

[@joe88john]

That is amazing! I love it! My dream job (not to play Donald, your a God if you can do that voice) but to work for Disney as a Voice Actor! It also took me a second try to hear Anti-dis-establishmentarianism.

[@disneyfan85]

@mermaidamp There is no interview with MacNeille.

[@acalibaby808]

Doesn't that hurt your voice tho?

[@MegaAstroFan18]

Little tidbit, dunno if you know this, but the Donald Duck voice is not done with the larynx, like normal speaking, which is what makes it such a skill. They're actually using their inner cheek, believe it or not, to produce the speech. Yes when doing Donald's voice, Clarence and Tony are actually using their cheek to make speech, not their voice box.

[@tonyanselmo9234]

Nope! Neither Clarence, nor I use our cheek.

[@FreeSpiritPaulette]

TONY ANSELMO fake. Get the heck out of here, that is how it’s done. The real guy himself has even said you use the cheek in this video before. You’re not the real tony, Stop impersonating as him. It’s annoying af

[@jentoons5732]

everyone is talking about Tony Anselmo's animation career and how he voices Donald and I'm just here like: "DAYUM!! HIS REGULAR VOICE IS FIIIIIINNNE!!!!!

[@andreapatane4204]

LMBO!

[@TheCarlitosbug]

Did Tony Anselmo ever work on The Rescuers Down Under (1990) during his animation career?

[@sesamefan4049]

It's all about timing.

[@disneyfan85]

@mermaidamp It was last Saturday.

[@12ratchet]

Hey man I was wondering how things were working out for you, I hope your dream to be a Disney animator works out. Who knows you might just get to work with Tony Anselmo some day if you do become a Disney animator.

[@rosepark266]

Was that Don Hahn who interviewed him?

[@WishfulThinkingArt]

+Rose Park That is actually Leonard Maltin, a film critic and historian ;-)

[@KingMickeyROLZ]

Donald's voice actor controls puberty

[@doultonduck6534]

Donald Duck is what I want to do when I grow up.

[@FireRaptor100]

The voice of Donald is the same in all languages, and even in spanish, I can't understand what he says.

[@kentborges5114]

Here I come TONY.

[@VGMimix]

Imagine how much water this guy has to drink!

[@clairetm63]

Tony Anselmo looks like Will Ferrell.

[@kelsadilla367]

To me he looks like a cross between David James Elliott and Thomas Gibson.
