A Tribute To Walt Disney's Ludwig Von Drake

A Tribute To Walt Disney's Ludwig Von Drake...
One of my favorite charactors from Uncle Walt [Disney].
[With help from Itunes and Walt Disney]
P.S-the end video is a clip from "The Wonderful World Of Colours" and the song is "When You Wish Apon A star".

About Ludwig Von Drake:
Ludwig von Drake is one of Walt Disney's cartoon and comic book characters. He was first introduced on September 24, 1961, as the presenter (and singer of "The Spectrum Song") in the cartoon An Adventure in Color, part of the first show of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color on NBC. Ludwig is a V.I.P. member of the Mickey Mouse Club. [1] Said to be an uncle of Donald Duck, he was supposedly named after either Ludwig von Mises or Ludwig van Beethoven. The character displayed his "expert" knowledge on a variety of subjects in eighteen episodes of the classic anthology series, as well as on a number of Disneyland Records.

Paul Frees was the original voice of Ludwig von Drake. Frees retired from the role before his death in 1986, and Walker Edmiston took over.[4] Corey Burton currently voices the character.
Ludwig von Drake comes from Vienna, Austria. Some creators have presumed that his family is a German branch of the Duck family but that hasn't been included in any major stories. (According to a theory by Don Rosa the professor married Matilda McDuck, one of Scrooge McDuck's sisters. Though this is by no means canon, it might be the only way that Ludwig could be Donald's uncle.)

Ludwig has a fascination with knowledge. Since his youth he has been trying to obtain as many diplomas, in any science, as possible. He is often shown as having little social competence, however, and is often portrayed as being very forgetful, sometimes even somewhat senile. In the comics Ludwig usually visits with Donald Duck and Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. On occasion, Daisy Duck would coax (or even trick) the professor into giving lectures and tours for her ladies' club. Sometimes Ludwig and Gyro Gearloose have competed as to who is the greater inventor.

This really brought back some wonderful memories. QUESTION: Do you have the Wonderful World of Color mini-series done on the life of Beethoven, @ 1963?

Ludwig Von Drake!! One of the Best Disney Characters since Jiminy Cricket and Proffesor Owl from "Toot,Whistle,Plunk and Boom".

[LuvvyDuck]

What a nice tribute! And so many wonderful comments here that say it all for me. Ludwig and I were both "born" the same year, and the vintage Disney shows were--and ARE--one of the best things about my life. What a shame that the Disney empire hasn't shown proper appreciation for some of the very characters that helped make its history. At least the fans are doing that. Happy 50th birthday, LVD!

I wish i could see ludwig von drake the secret of billiards. look at all these ludwig von drake fans , Disney is missing out on re-releasing these as compilations on dvd. instead they make crap like Hanna Montana which drove me off from them like the plague. Shame on you Disney for denying the children of today from such gems as these and instead filling them up with garbage... if Walt was here this wouldnt have happened.

We all need to cherish these Disney memories in our hearts because the

last connection to the Disney family, Roy Disney, (Walt's nephew) died Dec

2009. Now the "Disney Corp" is just a business. Roy Disney had kept the

"heart" of his late uncle firmly in the corporation while he lived.

We visited Disney World July 4, 2011 and folks, its already changing. They

had a dozen trams sitting unused while 3,000+ people had to wait

in the heat 90 minutes just to get to the parking lot on 3 trams.
