Tale Spin/Trivia


 * Hey, It's That Voice!:
 * Charlie Adler: Mad Dog.
 * Hamilton Camp: Whistlestop Jackson.
 * Jim Cummings: Louie, Don Karnage, and several incidental characters.
 * Pat Fraley: Wildcat.
 * Ed Gilbert: Baloo.
 * Phil Hartman: Ace London in "Mach One for the Gipper", using his best smarmy Jerkass voice.
 * Tony Jay: Freaking Shere Khan!
 * Tress MacNeille: Kitten Caboodle in "A Star Is Torn".
 * Lorenzo Music: Sergeant Dunder, also known as Garfield and "Carlton the Doorman" from Rhoda, among others.
 * Rob Paulsen: Ratchet and Dr. Debolt.
 * Kath Soucie: Clementine Clevenger in "Citizen Khan" and Princess Lotta Lamour in "The Road to Macadamia".
 * Sally Struthers: Rebecca.
 * Frank Welker: A few incidental characters.
 * This ain't the first time R.J. Williams (Kit) and Ed Gilbert (Baloo) worked on a cartoon together. This troper used to have a video tape of an NBC cartoon called Kissyfur. The title character was Kit; his dad Gus was Baloo.
 * Italian Kit (0:03) sounds like a pre-teen version of Italian Italian D.J. (3:11).
 * The Other Darrin: Kit was voiced by two actors--first Alan Roberts, then R.J. Williams. "A Bad Reflection on You" uses both Roberts and Williams; it's difficult to tell them apart, but you can do it if you're familiar with the subtle differences in their voices and you listen carefully.
 * R.J. Williams is Kit in "A Bad Reflection on You" part 1, and Alan Roberts is Kit in the "A Bad Reflection on You" part 2. The key to telling their voices apart is that R.J. Williams, who was Kit in "Mommy For A Day" and "Captains Outrageous" sounds a little bit older than Alan Roberts who was Kit in "Stormy Weather" and "The Time Bandit".
 * What Could Have Been: The Sea Duck was originally intended as a vehicle for Launchpad McQuack for his own cargo service in an unused story idea for DuckTales.
 * Phil Harris was apparently to play Baloo again for the show, however his vocal range was thought to have aged too much following auditions, and soundalike Ed Gilbert took the role instead.
 * Some people who worked on the show, however feel Phil Harris still sounded young enough to voice Baloo, and the real reason he was passed over was because he would have been too expensive to pay every episode.
 * In the writers' bible, Shere Khan was named "Mr. Downs" and Don Karnage was named "Anthrax". Also, Spigot and Dunder were originally designed as cats.
