He made seven films between 19, making his film debut in Mother Carey’s Chickens (1938), playing the son of the Son of Frankenstein (1939). Donnie won and talent scouts arranged for him to go to Hollywood. Donnie entered show business at the young age of three-years-old, as he was taught to tap dance by a neighbor and entered a talent contest at the local Orpheum Theatre. Now let’s start with a little background on each of the voice actors. It really was an honor to be able to speak with Donnie and Peter. Much of the talent from those years is no longer for interviews and press junkets, such as the one I attended.
Words cannot truly describe how it feels to meet anyone from that classic Disney era. Did you know that BAMBI is actually among the films selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry? To celebrate the 75th anniversary, not only is Disney releasing BAMBI as part of the Walt Disney Signature Collection (May 23 for Digital HD and June 6 for Blu-ray), but they also invited myself and 24 other bloggers to participate in a conversation with Donnie Dunagan (voice of “Bambi”) and Peter Behn (voice of “Thumper”), moderated by Disney Archivist Becky Cline! How amazing is that? That’s a long time, isn’t it? BAMBI has stood the test of time and to this day, 75 years later, it is still one of the most popular Disney classic animated features.
