A Visit from Clint Howard

 


Actor Clint Howard stopped by a few weeks ago for an interview about his role in Disney's classic film The Jungle Book. Clint voiced the baby elephant, also known as Hathi jr.

The interview will be a part of the upcoming exhibition at the Walt Disney Family Museum Walt Disney's The Jungle Book: Making a Masterpiece. It was wonderful getting to know Clint, whose 1967 TV show Gentle Ben was a favorite of mine as a kid. Of course Clint has been in many movies, including Apollo 13, a film directed by his brother Ron. A true classic!

This exhibition will be spectacular.

  3. I like to read and hear about what artists did before and after their participation in feature like Jungle Book. Especially when they were very young at the time. :)
    Mr Clint Howard has a face I never get out of my mind. You recognize him immediantely, no matter how old he is and was. :)
