For Disney’s “The Aristocats” (1970), many of the adult voice actors were established stars who overshadowed their younger costars. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the three talented child voice actors at work: Gary Dubin as Toulouse, Dean Clark as Berlioz, and Liz English as Marie. To quote the Sherman Brothers, this trio was showing “aristoc’atic flair in what they do and what they say!”

This one for “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (1954) is particularly clever, with a diver descending into the depths down one side. One of our HHA authors, Kevin Kidney (Kevin and Jody Show), will be talking about this film at a screening on Sept. 27 at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, CA!

Fred MacMurray’s character, Professor Ned Brainard, may have made it rain in Walt Disney’s “Son of Flubber” (1963), but as this behind-the-scenes photo shows, he had a little help from Disney’s special effects department!
