Though it's subtle, one telltale giveaway is the bill. When handled by Milt, Von Drake's bill is a bit longer and flares outward. Frank gives him a slightly smaller bill that tapers in at the end. Also, I find that Milt's Von Drake makes more of a direct eye contact with the viewer, and Frank's is oddly a bit glassy-eyed.<br /><br />As it was for Michael Sporn, Von Drake was also a character I grew up with as a child of the 60's, watching The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. Those shows were always my favourites, as back then there wasn't a lot of Disney animation so readily available as it became years later on VHS and DVD. So an evening in the company of that crazy Austrian duck. that linked classic Disney shorts together with the new animation, was always a rare and wonderful television event!Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-19745691364247984662011-11-09T23:51:08.504-08:002011-11-09T23:51:08.504-08:00Hello Andreas!

He's a character that I grew up with; those Disney shows were very much a part of my formative years. I imagine the same is true for many others.<br /><br />It's comforting to see how excellently the character works when seeing it almost fifty years later. It's a brilliant design by Milt Kahl, and Paul Frees voice is classic work.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-15916821836026580602011-11-09T03:12:00.702-08:002011-11-09T03:12:00.702-08:00David- Scrooge already made his first appearance i...David- Scrooge already made his first appearance in a Carl Barks comic in 1947, years before Ludwig.<br /><br />Thanks for this post, I always hoped to get my hands on some Ludwig model sheets sometime, I love drawing him!HenriekeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629940158767655130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-58227823889667783372011-11-08T13:43:21.153-08:002011-11-08T13:43:21.153-08:00I love these images you share (especially the larg...I love these images you share (especially the large size!).

I was drawing him for something and I could've used the reference!<br /><br />I think I can tell when the switch happens. Milt's scene ends when Ludwig pats his backside with the book, and Frank picks up after that. Is that correct? <br /><br />Also, I know that Ward animated a lot of Ludwig early on, but also that he really didn't have that a good a time animating him. Did you ever have the chance to ask Ward about that? I've been working with Amid on the Kimball book for a while and I was searching all over the place for any other Ludwig footage I could find (among other things).Michael J.
