Alan Young

Yeah.

Which was actually made up by Alan Young, who was the actor that played Wilbur Post.

Yeah.

He said they put peanut butter in there to make, sort of around his teeth to make him sort of move.

It is based on not Sherlock Holmes, which is a misnomer about this film, but it is based on Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus and Paul Galdone.

Featuring the voices of Vincent Price, Barry Ingham, Val Betten, Suzanne Podolshek, Candy Candido, Diana Chesney, Eve Brenner, and Alan Young.

The budget was $14 million.

That is $42 million adjusted for inflation.

Maybe it's my ADHD talking or maybe it's just that I'm really busy.

It was very nice that I got to sit down and watch this movie three times uninterrupted, not back to back, obviously, but all three times that I watched it, it was uninterrupted because it was only 75 minutes long, which is enough time for me to squeeze it in and not have one of my kids either wake up or bother me for a snack.

your kids like this right yes very much so very much so you pointed this out to me alan young as flaversham scrooge mcduck yep

yep he uh he voiced scrooge mcduck i looked it up because my kids used to love um the mickey christmas special and scrooge is in that and that was from like the 60s he he played scrooge mcduck from for 40 plus years up through ducktales

Thanks, Sam.

And by the way, back to Mr. Ed, Wilbur Post was played by Alan Young, and Mr. Ed was played by Bamboo Harvester, one of my very favorite horse names.

Okay, I'm putting my Stetson back on now because that's it for this episode's spiritual numbers.

Uh, Deke is a, uh, Vietnam veteran.

And, uh, the commander up there, Alan Young, will be welcoming people and saying some comments.

So the VFW-

Mm

And so that director, and I can't tell you who it was, did eight hours with the actors.

And that was Lucy Taylor and the wonderful Alan Young and Terry McGovern, wonderful actors.

And so they did the first episode.

I came in to do the second episode and I did it in four hours.

I haven't watched much of that reboot.

Alan Young is Scrooge McDuck for me forever.

I

know how you feel.

But the mastermind here.

So Alan Young.

The voice he was he was on Mr. Ed.

He was Wilbur was the voice of Scrooge McDuck in the original DuckTales.

The time traveler in the novel meets a woman in the future named Weena.

He befriends her.

He sort of, uh, protects her, uh, but in the novel there's no romance between them.

In the movie, unsurprisingly, you've got, uh, Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimeu- Mimeu here, and they fall in love.
