Today, we have another Little Audrey cartoon. This is Goofy Goofy Gander, which was released August 18 of 1950. The cast is kind of a "Who's Who" of performers who were heard in Paramount/Famous Studios cartoons: Mae Questel (who was most famous for playing Olive Oyl and Betty Boop), Jack Mercer (the main voice of Popeye), Sid Raymond (who voiced Baby Huey) and Gwen Davies (who was one of several voices of Casper). There are also a few unidentified singers in this film, which was directed by Bill Tytla.
Mr. Tytla was a great Disney animator who went on to become a director for other studios with less distinction. For Walt D., he handled several of the dwarfs in Snow White (especially Grumpy). He did some key scenes of the title character in Dumbo and also Stromboli the Puppet Master in Pinocchio. He animated Chernobog the devil figure in Fantasia and the old magician character in that film's "Sorceror's Apprentice" sequence. And he did other key animating which today is avidly studied by students of cartoons. He was one of Disney's star artists until he joined the 1941 strike at the studio. After it was settled, he returned to work but things weren't the same and he came to believe he was being handed assignments of less and less importance and personal challenge. That, along with a desire to return to his former climate (Connecticut and New York) caused him to head east in 1943. There, he worked for Terrytoons (where he'd worked before being lured to Hollywood to work at Disney) and at Famous Studios.
He later returned to Hollywood and worked here and there, though worsening eyesight limited his options. His last major animating — and it is said he required a lot of assistance from friends — was some work on The Incredible Mr. Limpet in 1964. He passed away in '68. As you can see from this example, his films were nicely directed, though sometimes limited by weak material and weaker characters. This one, I think, is one of the better ones.
