Among other casting coups for the show, Abbie booked Jimmy Weldon, the voice of "Yakky Doodle" from The Yogi Bear Show (1961), to voice the role of Whoopty Doopty Schmoodily Duck in the upcoming 7D episode entitled "Bing Bong Beans." Jimmy, pictured below, turned 90 last December and is going stronger than ever!
Abbie also brought in two of our very favorite voice stars to perform in various 7D episodes: Tress MacNeille (Duck Tales, The Simpsons, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs) and Rob Paulsen (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain).
These are just a few of the great casting choices made by Abbie during the first season of The 7D.
Looks about like you got the whole gang back together.
ReplyDeleteMr. Ruegger, you and the others never cease to amaze me.
So cool my two favorite voice actors Tress Macneille and Rob Paulsen!! I would love to hear Tress play the voice impression of Babs Bunny to one of the characters she'll play on the new show!!!! What do you think Mr. Rugger?
ReplyDeleteA bit unrelated, but apparently Wakko's wish will be released in dvd in october:

Mr. Ruegger, how amazingly, i-can't-believe-it's-him, must be dreamin, excited are you to be working with "Yakky Doodle" himself Jimmy Weldon?
ReplyDeleteI saw the episodes of The 7D and it was so funny and cool love it! You know about making funny cartoons ha ha ha! Tiny Toons question, I know Buster was based on Bugs Bunny but who was Babs Based on? And what did the cartoonist mean when he says “I'll split the difference" in the first episode of Tiny Toons?
