It's really cool to see this - I've seen you do the opposite, from human to animal - it's neat to see it go from animal to human.<BR/>Look forward to your next post.<BR/>R.Randeep Katarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513054840931685761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-9163732733139526522008-06-09T10:09:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:09:00.000-07:00Excellent post.

Seeing the photo of him that you've linked to, he certainly does look somewhat similar to the human type that I've visualized. There is of course some influence as well from J. Pat O'Malley, the voice of The Colonel. I can see the way they've analyzed the mouth and hanging chin from the way the actor speaks, applying it to his canine counterpart. <BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I just recently saw David Frankham onscreen for the first time, alongside Vincent Price in 1962's "Tales of Terror". Like the character of Sgt. Tibbs that he voices, Frankham also has large expressive eyes in a perpetually worried look, as well as a small, sharp, triangular nose like that of the cat. As a caricaturist, it is always fascinating to me how the Disney artists seem to be able to capture the essence of the actors producing the voices, especially when translating those human features into those of cartoon animals.Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-85118814806364843482008-06-08T18:04:00.000-07:002008-06-08T18:04:00.000-07:00Hi Peter.

Aubrey Smith, but I feel that the Colonel is somewhat based on him in terms of appearance and demeanor, though Smith didn't play characters who were doddy or ineffective.<BR/><BR/>Smith is in the Shirley Temple (and John Ford!) movie Wee Willie Winkie, where he plays a military officer.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/3300349.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=BAA3E61C514E7EC61E74E23C5FC1F9B2A55A1E4F32AD3138" REL="nofollow">Here's</A> a picture of himMark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.com
