Chip & Dale (Fast or Slow)

[musicradio77]

I know you fans would love Chip & Dale. I have a couple of cartoons with Donald Duck, there is also one thing. I use a reel-to-reel tape recorder to record some stuff from a C&D cartoon in 7 1/2 IPS. I played it back at 3 3/4 IPS to hear what it sounded slower. Here is the normal cartoon for example a short clip from "Working With Peanuts" it had Chip & Dale where they talked so fast. It went like this

Chip & Dale (Normal)

Here is what it sounded like which is a lot slower.

That was...distrubing...in its own way.

Were Chip n Dale's voices recorded normally and speeded up to sound like chipmunks or were there actors who can speak that high (kind of like Minnie Mouse)?

Yes! The slower part where Chip & Dale speaks sounded a lot like Mickey Mouse.

That's funny! I have the Classic Cartoon Favorites DVD, and I had always wondered what they're saying when it's too fast to understand them, so out of curiosity I put the subtitles on, and it showed what they were saying, and I found it humorous that they were talking about things completely unrelated!

Is it me, or did the slowed down voices sound a bit like Miss Piggy?

Its just you, Wonderlicious. Miss Piggy's voice was a bit higher than the slow version of Chip and Dale. I wouldn't think Frank Oz (the voice of Miss Piggy) would voiced like that.

I find the slow version very shocking but rather funny. It actually reminded me of Home Alone 2 when Kevin used Talk Boy recorder to record his voice, then played it the slow version on a phone.

Howdy!

Does anyone here have a recent Sony DVD player? I'm saying that because you can play your DVDs in chipmunk mode (fast play WITH SOUND!) or Pete mode (slow play WITH SOUND!). Can someone try that on several Disney movies and shows (especially the ones with Chip and Dale)? Thanks!

I think I used a slow version of Chip & Dale off of an old Sony TC-600 Reel-to-Reel tape recorder.

I like more the fast mode, they´re funnier

Chip & Dale's voice was provided by Disney sound effects genius Jim Macdonald, who also provided the voice of Mickey Mouse from the late 40's to the 70's.

Macdonald provided some of the most memorable voices in Disney films, including Jaq & Gus in Cinderella, Humphrey the Bear, various animal sounds in Snow White & he was the man who played the timpani in Fantasia.

He also created most of the sounds for the films & cartoons using crazy & complicated contraptions made out of various junk, including the Dwarf's squeaky shoes (an old wallet), a tomato hitting the Big Bad Wolf in the face in the Three Little Wolves (a mix between a spoonful of grease, a wet washcloth & a cup of water over the sound of a "raspberry"), Grumpy's organ (various bottles & jugs) & the buzzes, wheezes & pants of Evinrude the Dragonfly in The Rescuers (brass tubing & an air hose with a rubber membrane over a small drum that could be played like a musical instrument).

You can find out more about him at imdb.com

Anyone care to slow down Private Pluto? Whilst Jim MacDonald certainly provided the voices for both the chipmunks in most of their cartoons (and you can hear it in the slow version, the voice is the same for both conversations), I've been told someone else did one of them in the first couple of shorts.

That's exactly what I thought! Very strange to listen to, quite entertaining!
