Gone without Bluth and his forces, but the studio has not left the fox and dog. Art Stevens, director of leadership now, slowly approached the image with animation and designers who have remained faithful to the mouse. But the animation department is still in a state of flux.
My friend hostel work on the first law of Fox and Hound, saw his chance to put his book now "Do not give them new ideas until they are ready for it," Philosophy in the service, and got a house points Date of wrinkles and a new plot in the development of the narrative of the film. And wait for the right moment, and Boom! BOOM! Sold his new ideas in the context of two of the story.
At the same time, on the third floor, I wrote new features and refine the dialog. Most of the cast and voice actor: Pearl Bailey Big Mama, Corey Feldman, such as copper puppy, Jack Albertson (Chico and TV rights) as a hunter Amos Slade. Janet Nolan was also the widow Tweed (solid second option after it on Helen Hayes partially rejected) and her husband, John McIntire Nolan angry badger.
Casting for a variety of areas, it was easy in the hands of the older Disney, they tend to go with known amounts it has already been used. Pat Buttram, who had no other roles painted the voice of Disney at the time, he was throwing as head old dog. Paul Winchell took over the role of low Woodpecker factor. Mickey Rooney and won the lead role of death, the hero of Fox.
Rooney was flexible and versatile actor. Has a supportive role and the father of Helen Reddy in the house of the dragon, and now chained to a small studio theater to play the next level Todd recently. If you want to play him in a sad place, it can give you a nostalgic and blown or offer words hoarse, choking sobs, that you think he was made black despair.
Mickey Rooney wishes expressed in the adult, "the fox and the dog."
On the scene of the shooting, Mr. Rooney was targeted, flexible and all businesses. But after lunch, it's something else. When I ate writers and directors with him in the direction of the dining room, he talked nonstop about sprouts old Hollywood film, stage work and women of the former (seven in all.) And when I say non-stop I mean, like any others can get sideways in a word. (All we had to do is smile and nod.)
During lunch, CEO Ron Miller came, saw and wondered how Mickey Rooney wife was present. Mickey was head of the soup, and said he was "not good, Ron, and we are getting a divorce."
It's a joke that the soft laughter started. Ron Miller knew was a comedy, and his smile widened.
"Oooh. Was this a long time," Miller said.
Mickey, when he spoke, he was not happy when someone asked a categorical assertions in question. One afternoon, when he told us stories from the most beautiful film star of the 1940s, said: "You must understand, when you go to bed with a woman who married you to go with her." I made the mistake of omission, made "Oh come on," and that gave me the glare.
"I do not know! Have. Really you., I'm not kidding"
After that, I had the feeling that my mouth flap kept closed.
The sessions were always sound exciting, if a little scary. If all the antics of a character voice talent are transmitted with the sequence of the consultation of the scene and director of the march sequence actor or actress that each point of the story, the filming was. Representative has a good sense of perspective and context and the position of the character. Watch the body language in the draw gave a boost to audio performance.
Different players have different approaches. Pat Buttram, with a long career as an actor and lecturer in demand after dinner (not to mention his long career as a side kick Gene Autry) like to joke about things and tell stories. Sandy Duncan (voice Vixie, attention and love Todd) wanted to get a personal motives and nail down the line.
Pearl Bailey Audio recording of Big Mama.
The modus operandi of Pearl Bailey personal project. It was also the outgoing hot as a man can be, and it has as been for a period ranging between and after the shooting. One afternoon, during a break, she got the crew on a funny story about one of his appearance to laugh on the TV network. I sat down on a chair next to her, and when I click on the point to him she burst into laughter, and grabbed my head and my face mashed into her cleavage.
Fortunately, I had learned from my lunch, Mickey Rooney, and the presence of mind to stay calm during swallowing of air through the side of my mouth.
Stevens, art directors and others to evaluate the performance of Mrs. Bailey, but it was a long delay between Big Mama and fox change art exchange like. In particular, he wanted to change the half, keeping the added lines of Perl, but the dialogue to re-write as it is discovered by Todd. We spent a long afternoon rewrite half back and forth from the characters, and I dive several variants of answers such as, shuttle between different management until he nailed to the dialog.
The role of the voice of the past, the copper adults hound be cast. Young Mr. Feldman holds a copy of the child to the dog, but it was the adult side of the game followed by some time to work, and began to be a problem. Some time before, was impressed Woolie and other directors in listening to the veteran actor Jackie Cooper (and it was interesting, two of the stars of the child from the 1930s have in the lead roles). But Mr. Cooper wanted more money than to pay the studio was ready, it was a farewell, and Jackie.
Kurt Russell, as he saw when he recorded the sound of the brass.
Time ticking away on. Scene and sequence accumulated, and administrators began to be tense. If art wanted to pull his hair, Kurt Russell came to play the role and nailed it. Kurt pulled from the TV biopic Elvis at the time made and arrived on the scene wearing a registration wall of white shaving his sights to the army Elvis. It was created, energetic and very cooperative, and he went in the age of one by more than half of the image.
Recording session, which took more than one of the apostles, to finish the job. At this point, the workflow and especially for speed and everyone can see how they came to join Fox and Hound together.
But there was another question that has led some members of the younger Disney employees (including me) crazy.
