Aw fuck, no
Alan Young will always be Scrooge McDuck to me. I can't read the character and not hear his voice.
This is why I wasn't mad that they recast the new DuckTales series. I love the old voice cast dearly, but it's been thirty years now. Most of them are either dead or retired.

Is anyone else just incapable of reading Donald with the voice he has in the cartoons? There's something about it that really throws off the pacing of my brain and I can't deal with it. I can't imagine how else he'd sound, though.
>>82969612
Anselmo's Donald is kinda doable. He's at least more coherent then Nash.
HE MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS
Four more years, and he woulda matched Scrooge.
Might not have been dying at 100 after a life of adventure, but he sure as hell had a good run.
>>82969612
I can sorta read the swedish cartoon Donald in his voice in the comics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=650tIyLXjbk
1:05 if you want to hear his voice.
This interview was all I could find. All the other youtube clips I found are old clips from back when he didn't have a dedicated VA.

I wonder how Scottish they'll have make his new voice. Rosa's view is that he probably has an American accent since he moved to there at 13, but it's not like he has a final say for the character at all.
I still hope Glomgold will get an Afrikaner accent, since at least some people would recognize it in this post-Sharlto Copley world, but I don't think it'll happen.
>>82969864
This is amazing
>>82969864
It's a classic voice, but come on, why would you fuck up Donald's voice in your own head? He's the everyman and should sound like one.
Not again
>>82969973
It's always fun to look up which other roles iconic VAs in your own language have done.
Mickey Mouse in Sweden?
Sounds like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBdtah912-A
He also voiced Darkwing Duck:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzmz8mtGVRg
And about 250 other roles.
>>82970165
No no no, Goofy was the everyman, Donald is the guy who doesn't take shit from anyone, for any reason. The kinda guy that wouldn't take a bosses shit and risk/guarantee getting fired by punching his lights out for being a bastard. The wont be stepped on kinda guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4SwEMiEXZs
>>82970398
Goofy is a filthy dim-witted bum. Donald is the everyman, though his vices are more out in the open.
That's why they always renamed Donald to a very common name in different languages, to show that he's basically any guy on the street. Goofy is named fucking Goofy, he's a joke.
Well this is justducked up
>2016 is gonna be better!

MY DICK
I'm glad we got to hear him voice scrooge one last time in the duck tails remastered game on steam.
>>82972774
Looks like he made his last vocal for Scrooge for the new Mickey Mouse shorts.
>>82969934
>I still hope Glomgold will get an Afrikaner accent
What does that even sound like?
I'm somewhat embarrassed to say this news has me pretty emotional.
>>82972774
I thought he provided his Scrooge voice for that one Mickey Mouse short sometime after that. Unless the remastered Ducktales game came after the short?
>>82968432
he must have left a fortune to his heirs
>>82972774
>>82972810
>>82972877
Yes, Scrooge has popped up in the Mickey shorts
Surprised he apparently hasn't appeared on Mickey Mouse ClubHouse. And isn't Ducktales Remastered on every platform?
>>82969575
Back when she had some character.
But, he's supposed to be immortal.
>>82973703
It's hard. Like Donald was meant to represent men's vices (violence, egoism, anger) Daisy was meant to represent women's vices (vanity, jealousy, emotional outbursts), but the women's right's movement has made the latter very taboo in an attempt to reach equality.

I don't know if I'll be able to accept an american accent, either.
Something about Scrooge has always been his accent.

>>82975695
look they've been planning this ever since alan young turned old. which was ages ago. they'll audition replacements and they'll get someone that sounds just like him. cripes, they would never remove his accent.

We knew he was never going to voice Scrooge this time around, but it would have been nice for him to have lived long enough to make a cameo appearance in the first episode, kind of like a passing of the torch thing.

As a "gamer" It didn't deserve a fuck to be given. It was a remake of a game that didn't need a remake, and quite honestly they ruined the game by tweaking it so much.
But I was impressed they got so much of the original cast, and everyone put in a decent performance, especially Young, considering how old he was at the time.
>>82974119
Wait really?
I have some bit of respect for that.

>>82977992
If they put it on their website and app after the reboot was announced, they can marathon it now. They can do it on Disney XD so their garbage live-action shows stay on the schedule too.
>>82977110
Castle of Illusion didn't need a remake either, but that was one of the best remakes ever made. And I didn't think they ruined it, though they might've made it a bit too easy.
>>82978331
Castle of Illusion basically got both a remake and a spiritual sequel and both were good. Although Epic Mickey 2 3DS was rather short.
>>82978331
Well, we ain't talkin' about Castle of Illusion now, are we?

96? Could have sworn he was 98. Still, that's an impressive age, considering the ages of some of the people who have died recently. I hope Disney does something nice to dedicate to his memory, that man deserves it.
>>82979334
Which was weird considering it was just as solid as the original show.

To be fair, the other deaths this year were unexpected. It's been Alan Young's time for a while now.
>>82969612
Yeah. I guess it's because I expect it to be written phonetically, so when's it's just regular English I read it as being much more proper speech.

did any one ever figure out why Disney was pushing donald so much? They even wanted him to be the MC in kingdom hearts.

Mickey used to be a really outgoing, adventurous character. That role swapped to Donald since Mickey was now a corporate mascot that they didn't want to take any sort of risks with.

>>82984915
Yes.
>>82980812
There's actually a precedent for mass deaths of pop culture icons, and a theory behind it.
The theory adheres to the concept that "new" cultural events happen in tight little bursts. New music, new movie, new TV, new books, they all puff out at scheduled increments. We get summer blockbusters and hot summer jams and summer reading material and the new hit show of the summer and, well, the people who make this stuff tend to all be in an age range, which is generally "older than the people who consume it".
So then, 30 years later, they start dying.
Prince hit me the hardest this month.
>>82982163
We haven't found all of his hoarcruxes yet. Also: spellcheck changes Hoarcruxes to "boat rides". Just so you know.
>>82982874
No, he visited a South American Favela and caught every STD known to duck-kind. He then rode a zeppelin, loaded down with all his riches and enough explosives to rival the Blitz, into an active volcano off the shores of Hawaii. He did all this while proclaiming, "LEAVE THINGS THE WAY YOU FOUND EM, YOU UNAPPRECIATIVE JACKANAPES! "
The ash cloud is on its third round about the planet.

I guess it's a good moment to re-read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. :(
I had only seen the portuguese dub of DuckTales growing up, and the re-mastered game was my first "real" exposure to Alan Young's work, and the way he made Scrooge sound so fucking likeable made me go back and watch the show in english and goddamn it, you're all right. We lost a hell of an artist.
Pic semi-related. Fan-art of Scrooge being the biggest badass Disney ever produced.

He's done it in the past too, but usually he argues the terms until the bankers charge him 0.001% interest. If scrooge needs some money, he always repays it before the interest comes due. The man once argued a discount price for every bent nail in a barrel, for pity's sake.
He's absolutely honest, and inhumanly tough, physically and mentally. Bless his feathers.

I can tell you Glumgold, Afrikaner that he is, made all his money in an exploitative fasion. He's probably found his own bank and charge inhumane interest rates on the payday loans he gives out.
>>82998779
Rockerduck's a spoiled shit who was born rich. Glomgold earned his money just like Scrooge, but even though we don't know how he did it exactly, we know he didn't do it square.
Glomgold also straight up loathes Scrooge while Rockerduck just thinks humiliating him is hilarious and can occasionally see him as a friendly rival. He's also not above helping him or his nephews if they're in real trouble (though he'll be a real cunt about it) while Glomgold would probably not give two shits.
>>82998515
I like this post, something about your enthusiasm to defend scrooge and citing past history makes me feel warm.
>>82998616
I remember there was also a wiki war regarding whether the albums Walter/Wendy Carlos released before gender transition should be credited as Walter or as Wendy. You can imagine that got really dirty, along with accusations of people secretly being Wendy Carlos and trying to retcon the past.
