Predictor 1,018 Posted January 1, 2020 Tired of all the Disney remakes and reboots of the past couple of years? Well, here is a nice nostalgia trip to the classic era when Walt himself oversaw the studio's production with an ironfist. Theme team: This Knee Ain't What It Used To Be (Disney employees of its animated features while Walt was still alive) Actually, the list sort of wrote itself, since I literally could not come up with more than 23 names. Unless you count might be/might not be alive IMDb picks. Entries below are American, unless stated otherwise. EDIT: How on earth did I miss that Peter Behn is still alive?? Spoiler 1. Cate Bauer (born 1922/1929): British actress who did the voice of Perdita in 101 Dalmatians (1961). Who's Perdita? Well, she's the white dog with black spots all over her. Hope that narrows it down for ya. 2. Kathryn Beaumont (born 1938): British actress who is one of the more well-known Disney veterans still among us. Voiced the title role of Alice in Alice in Wonderland (1951) & Wendy in Peter Pan (1953). 3. Don Bluth (born 1937): Yes, he does meet the criterion. Before making it big in the 1980s, he was animation assistant in Sleeping Beauty (1959) among other things. 4. Darleen Carr (born 1950): Voiced Mowgli's gal Shanti in The Jungle Book (1967). 5. Marge Champion (born 1919): While the person who voiced the most beautiful girl in the world (according to the mirror at least, cuz I really don't see it) is gone, Snow White's dance model Marge from Snow Whte and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) is still with us at the grand age of 100. 6. Paul Collins (born 1937): British actor who was John in Peter Pan (1953). Arguably the best P. Collins to have done Disney work in their career. 7. Mary Costa (born 1930): Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty (1959). Let's hope life doesn't imitate art by her slipping into a long coma at some point. 8. Alice Davis (born 1929): While Mary got to do all the fun in front of the mic, costume designer Alice had been busy making Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty (1959) look stylish. 9. Lisa Davis (born 1936): British actress who was Anita (one of the humans) in 101 Dalmatians (1961). Disney sure cast lots of Brits in their films... 10. Donnie Dunagan (born 1934): Did the voice of Bambi in Bambi (1942) when his iceskating skills were decidedly sub-par. For understandable reasons, Donnie kept quiet of his role while in the U.S. Army... JOKER 11. David Frankham (born 1926): British actor who was the heroic cat Sgt. Tibbs in 101 Dalmatians (1961). 12. Clint Howard (born 1959): The youngest on the list. Was the adorable little elephant Hathi, Jr. in The Jungle Book (1967). Also did Rooh in a Winnie the Pooh film in 1966, but it wasn't a feature-length film. 13. Margaret Kerry (born 1929): Similar to Marge Champion, Margaret was a dance model for Tinker Bell in Peter Pan (1953). She was also the voice of one of the smoking hot mermaids in the same film. 14. Leo De Lyon (born 1926): Dunno, appearantly was a monkey named Flunkey that no one in the entire world remembers in The Jungle Book (1967). Obscure role, but the actor is old enough that Flunkey will ensure that my team doesn't flunk. 15. Burny Mattison (born 1935): A behind-the-scene guy who worked on many films such as Lady and the Tramp (1955) & Sleeping Beauty (1959). 16. Floyd Norman (born 1935): A behind-the-scene guy who worked on films such as 101 Dalmatians (1961) & The Sword and the Stone (1963). Incredibly, he still works for Disney. 17. Bruce Reitherman (born 1950): I hate using the N-word, but c'mon, the director's son getting the part of the main character? This is clearly a case of nepotism. He voiced Mowgli in The Jungle Book (1967). 18. Ethmer Roten (born 1922): Doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but there are recent Youtube clips that prove that he's likely still alive. This woodwind instrumentalist has had a productive career, spanning back to the 1940s. He did flute music for Disney's Song of the South (1946) & Fun and Fancy Free (1947), but they aren't fully animated. But that's ok, cuz he also did Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953) and probably others. Uncredited for the most part, which is Roten luck. 19. Richard Sherman (born 1928): Composer with a level fame that probably makes Roten a bit jealous. Did the film scores for The Sword and the Stone (1963) & The Jungle Book (1967) respectively. 20. Ruthie Tompson (born 1910): Another behind-the-scenes person, worked on stuff like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Only one on the list who was deprived of Disney-related stuff in her childhood simply by being born so early. Subs: Lord Tim Hudson (born 1940), Chad Stuart (born 1941) & Mimi Gibson (born 1948). The first two were those vulture Beatles in The Jungle Book (1967). Mimi was a dog named Lucky in 101 Dalmatians (1961). tl:dr 1. Cate Bauer 2. Kathryn Beaumont 3. Don Bluth 4. Darleen Carr 5. Marge Champion 6. Paul Collins 7. Mary Costa 8. Alice Davis 9. Lisa Davis 10. Donnie Dunagan (Joker) 11. David Frankham 12. Clint Howard 13. Margaret Kerry 14. Leo De Lyon 15. Burny Mattison 16. Floyd Norman 17. Bruce Reitherman 18. Ethmer Roten 19. Richard Sherman 20. Ruthie Tompson Subs: Lord Tim Hudson, Chad Stuart & Mimi Gibson My main team: Predictor's Predictions No Swedes on it, for the first time. Spoiler 1. John Mark Ainsley (born 1963): British tenor. Submitted this name by mistake (mix-up, was supposed to be a Hare's team reserve, lol), so I can only blame myself here. He was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2016, but it was said to be treatable. Lack of recent updates, plus that he's active on Twitter means that he's probably not near death. 2. George Alagiah (born 1955): One of those names that appear on a large number of lists. A mainstream pick. JOKER 3. Radojko Avramovic (born 1949): Yugoslavian goalkeeper and later manager. Was the coach of lesser national teams like Singapore and Kuwait (plus Kuwait's Olympics team in 2000). Recently had to resign from Singaporian club Home Utd due to lung cancer. Played for Notts County for 4 seasons in the early 1980s (including 2 in the top division), so I think he has a decent QO chance. 4. Brigitte Bardot (born 1934): I like having classic movie stars in my teams. She's at an age where anything could happen. 5. Christie Blatchford (born 1951): Canadian journalist with cancer since last month. Been mentioned/cited in large British newspapers sporadically over the years, so probably will get a QO? 6. Wilford Brimley (born 1934): Has looked 70+ for the past 30 years or so. I might have picked him in previous DDP years, but I'm not entirely sure... 7. H. Rap Brown (born 1943): Black activist/prisoner who I had in the Deathrace in 2019. An article from August 2019 says that he recently had a stroke, in addition to his cancer. 8. Bob Dole (born 1923): Not a high-scorer, but I think his time will come in 2020. 9. Mohamed Ennaceur (born 1934): Was Tunisia's interim president after Essebsi's death. Was said to be in poor health at the time, which in fairness could mean anything from "ouch, I got a paper cut" to "hi, I'd like to order the best coffin that you have". 10. Jeffrey Foskett (born 1956): Might have dashed others' hopes of a unique here, lol. Has stage 4 thyroid cancer, and will likely get an obit due to association with Beach Boys. 11. Carol Gould (born 1953): American writer who works in United Kingdom. This is more of a gamble because her "Stage 4 metastasized triple-negative breast cancer" (yikes, that sound serious) is said to be "stabilized" since June. However, the drug that helped with that got a negative review by EMA, so maybe there could be further complications? Fame level? Well, I think she has done work for BBC, so yeah... 12. Gloria Henry (born 1923): Was Dennis' mum in the American tv show Dennis the Menace. Doesn't seem to be in the public eye for years, which makes me believe that her health has declined. 13. Lee Kerslake (born 1947): Pretty much the same as Alagiah. Not a creative pick exactly. 14. Vera Lynn (born 1917): Never selected her for the DDP. Think it's just a matter of time now. 15. Sinisa Mihajlovic (born 1969): Still coaching Bologna so maybe too soon, but things could turn quickly. 16. Kim Novak (born 1933): See Brigitte Bardot, although I think Novak is slightly more likely to go. 17. Tyne O'Connell (born 1960): Don't quite know whether or not this British author is well-known at all in the UK. Can't be any more obscure than Kate Figes, can she? The thing about writers and related areas is that they might have connections that work in larger newspapers. Tyne has brain cancer; it's hard to figure out the timeline but this video implies that she's still suffering from it. 18. Huang Qi (born 1963): Sort of a Chinese Edward Snowden. Imprisoned since many years back. Reportedly has heart- and kidney disease, but would we know about his death? 19. Nobby Stiles (born 1942): One of three (!) footballers in my DDP team, but if UEFA can assign more than 2 hosts for the upcoming Euro Cup, then I can switch things around too. 20. Alex Trebek (born 1940): I picked the Swedish Jeopardy host Magnus Härenstam in 2015. He died, but didn't get a QO. I shall not rest until I get my Jeopardy host points! tl:dr 1. John Mark Ainsley 2. George Alagiah (Joker) 3. Radojko Avramovic 4. Brigitte Bardot 5. Christie Blatchford 6. Wilford Brimley 7. H. Rap Brown 8. Bob Dole 9. Mohamed Ennaceur 10. Jeffrey Foskett 11. Carol Gould 12. Gloria Henry 13. Lee Kerslake 14. Vera Lynn 15. Sinisa Mihajlovic 16. Kim Novak 17. Tyne O'Connell 18. Huang Qi 19. Nobby Stiles 20. Alex Trebek 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
