| Drawing and Talking Donald Duck with Tony Anselmo (Part 1/2)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:30:11 -0800 by EleraThis interview of Tony Anselmo, today's voice actor for Donald Duck since Clarence "Ducky" Nash's tragic death in 1985, can be found in the Walt Disney Treasures box set "The Chronological Donald Duck: Volume Two." I originally uploaded this earlier, and I think it got deleted because it was originally one long part. Let's find out if it was for another reason. 8|There have only ever been two voice actors behind Donald Duck in the United States, as this interview will tell you, and both of them are phenomenal. Clarence "Ducky" Nash just didn't play Donald...he WAS Donald. And fate has led Tony Anselmo to fill Clarence's legendary shoes...and thus far Tony's been a marvel at it. For those who don't spend their lives studying and watching these cartoons (freaks like me, haha), the difference between Nash and Anselmo is seamless. Tony's performance of Donald is clear and well annunciated under all that quacking, which is quite a feat considering Donald Duck is one of the most difficult (and dangerously famous) voices to imitate. He's got it all the tricks down, too - the mischievous little laugh, the disappointed little "ohhh...", the legendary temper tantrum, the incoherent muttering that usually follows, and every single other Donald mannerism you can think of. I'm sure when Nash's time was coming it must've been the most worrisome and depressing experience, thinking about how no one on Earth could possibly take on Donald's role (it's already proven to be such a mixed bag in the foreign markets). How lucky good ole Ducky spotted his successor and trained him so well, as Ducky only could. Rest in peace, Mr. Nash, and Mr. Anselmo, keep it up. You're doing swell.

| Marvel's Spiderman Obama Inauguration Special Edition 2009Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:55:00 -0800 by natamy77http://goodlife.ask2 click.comSpider-Man has a new sidekick: The president-elect.Bara ck Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief."How great is that? The commander in chief to be is actually a nerd in chief," Quesada said. "It was really, really cool to see that we had a geek in the White House. We're all thrilled with that."The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.Marvel comics have featured most presidents, but generally in walk-on roles, Quesada said."I think President Nixon might have appeared on the cover, but not in a good way," he said.Obama has said that as a child, he collected Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comic books. His Senate Web site used to have a photo of him posing in front of a Superman statue.The Obama story is a bonus in Marvel Comic's Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out, with half the covers devoted to Obama.
