When the class clown grows up to make funny noises for a living...

1:57 This man is a legend he sacrificed his ears

Now THAT'S a profession I could take pride in.

This guy really found his true calling... What a legend

These old sound effects are very awesome things to listen to, because a lot of Disney fans all around the world are reliving the nostalgia of how sounds were made for 2D animation that were used for the Disney franchise. I guess that Jimmy MacDonald, Wayne Allwine and the entire Disney sound department deserve a 👍🏼 for their teamwork to make the sound effects real for Disney animated movies and shorts everywhere.

Foley arts master class! Best scene was the guy grimacing while scratching the glass at 1:56

It's crazy how creative things are back in those days.

Audio designers and engineers have to make the list of some of the more under appreciated jobs out there. They really help to make or break a lot of media, and can really enhance a product.

It's amazing how much work these people had to do to create those sound effects!

He's so amazing. I was shocked to see who did the voice of Casey Jr. the Train. It was creepy but entertaining at the same time

3:17 R.I.P. Jimmy MacDonald and Wayne Alwine

Nothing will ever hold a candle to classic sound effects!

1:48 The train whistle is my favorite part! 😍😍😍😊😊☺☺❤❤

This is beautiful. I’m glad more studios are using this method of sound design.

I just love hearing the sound effects made from equipments and instruments, it's fun to hear them 😌

I'll certainly find lots of his sounds among old videos, liked the growling sound effects the most

1:05 ...A THUNDERBOLT! XD Sorry! I couldn't resist!

So, the castle thunder is just a guy shaking a long metal sheet, huh? Mind blown

What made the sound effects in Disney animated movies so distinct from other animated movies is that they had character

They have made an impressive job, I can't lie on that.

How genius creates art.

2:10 OMG I knew exactly what he was doing because I used to do that with a balloon and a coin but I've never in 30 years see anyone else do it.

2:36 is the horse galloping sound that Jimmy McDonald was using, and it was later used in “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”.

2:02 Oh, so THAT'S why I've never been able to find any footage of actual bears making that sound. Fun fact: It was used for the Giganotosaurus in the _Walking with Dinosaurs_ episode _Land of Giants_

never realised how fun that job actualy must be

Loved the putt putting car going up the hill and pooping out... Lol

Jimmy MacDonald was the predecessor of Frank Welker! Making roars and growls for Disney.

Love the goofy ass fly sound.

It's amazing how somethimes they have a steam-engine-thingy for trains...but a spring for a car lol The creativity

I feel like Foley artists are a dying breed, you could say. It can be very physical work, but the end result sounds so good. If it weren't for the advent of "talking pictures" and Jack Foley, the poineer of the trade, we wouldn't be where we are with sound editing today, whether it be Foley work or ADR. It hasn't even been 100 years yet since the very first talking picture, which was The Jazz Singer (1927), and it's just astounding of the technological advances Hollywood has achieved in that span of time. Say what you want about Hollywood, but you can't deny the feats they've managed to make with all the movies they have made since those early, early days. Even during the silent era of movies, French filmmaker and illusionist Georges Méliès broke new ground with his short movies, his most famous being "A Trip to the Moon" (1902), cinema's first sci-fi movie, and the first to have a mix of live-action and animation (specificially claymation). Unfortunately, he never made any money from it with it's American showings because director and producer Thomas A. Edison secretly had made copies of the movie. Yes, he, as well as others, pirated the movie. Edison made lots of money because of his greed and Méliès went broke a few years afterwards, which is a real shame if you ask me. Méliès deserved better than that. You can actually see a little bit historical fiction of this in the movie "Hugo." Fortunately, for Méliès, flim producer and businessman Thomas Lincoln Tally distributed the movie crediting Méliès and presented it in his Electric Theater, Los Angeles's first movie theater. The movie is widely considered to be one of the most profoundly important movies ever made, and went on to influence so many future filmmakers. I guess in short, so much has been achieved in the making of movies since its early days. From early special effects to Foley work, and to where we currently are, _so much_ has been achieved. There's been so many innovators. Geroges Méliès, D. W. Griffith (The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance), Fritz Lang (highly recommend his silent movie Metropolis), Walt Disney, Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick, to name a few. Nowadays, innovation is dwindling in movies. Practically everything has been done already. It's hard to create that lightning-in-a-bottle kind of movie. I want to say the last movie that has achieved that status is Frozen. I know Barbie has been doing really well, but I doubt it's in the same standing as Frozen. Sorry for the essay here, but watching this video made me think about all this. I can't help being a movie buff.

1:47 All aboard!

1:08 Nice sound effect.

2:00 Fire sound effect

THE WINDMILL, omg. Dictated my entire early childhood, that

RIP Jimmy MacDonald

The cow sound and the train and when the dwarfs fell down and the thunder and the siren and the crack of window are my favorite in fact all my favorite sound effect!!!😊

Being a Foley Artist is so Awesome!!!

I love the sound of the tugboat @ 1:50

2:35 He's using coconuts! Monty Python was right!

It’s so cool how they use tools and instruments for sound effect instead of using computer those people are really smart thank you fro showing me this🥁

You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together!

It took alot of work and alot of talent for these:)!

Wow ! A lot of effort went into the sounds of the old Disney movies. I had a little chuckle at the crock from Peter Pan.

2:29 I love the Nautilus.

I am totally perplexed that these sound effects are so old!

Jimmy Macdonald you are the king of sound effect and outstanding work of yours and the other sound effect people thank you for showing me this thank youuu🌈👍🏼

They're called Foley Artists now

Crocodile song effect 2:25

I cannot deny that the sound effects were what made Disney movies unique in their time, my favorite was the one with the vehicle that when they went up the hill it sounds like the vehicle is coughing, the one with Casie Jr that seems to be I would have swallowed 100 cigarettes and the one with the bells.

0:00 i heard an "oh dear"

A jaw harp for the clock cleaner short. Genius.

This guy made the sounds of our childhood lol

I have heard them say they would animate to the pre recorded voices. So I guess it would be the same process to also animate to the recorded sound effects? So amazing.

Imagine if we had machinery like this for modern movie sound design/foley.

I would like to see how how the sounds for the cuckoo clocks in Geppetto’s workshop were achieved.

SO COOL! 🤩

What a HERO!

So creative!

"Wow... you used all this to make sound effects, cool! How did you make the fire siren!" "A fire siren." "Oh..."

he's just got two halves of coconut and he's banging them together!

This is so cool!

Wow 1:20

This is amazing!

It’s almost like the sound effects department at Disney was its own orchestra (if you follow my meaning)!

coconuts! They're tropical!

1:55 how the hell did they get her voice to sound like that?!?!

Im so sorry that guy broke his leg but his talent went up:)! God closes a door but always opena another one:)

Wow, so interesting!

Amazing.

The biggest one that truly blows my mind is the balloon one. How on Earth did he figure out how to make that sound?

The roars that he does......I at first thought that was candy candido

1:08 Are the guys with cymbals wearing death masks?

2:06 "aaaaAAAaaaa"

So interesting

Yeah

1:20 what the…?

Wow thank you

1:46 🐄

Wish I could hear more. I want to collect them all

0:08 I wanna try this!

0:09 the two Mickies jim and wayne just hangin out and making sounds

You might be hearing Jimmy McDonald’s Disney sound effects on other places including “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” and on Sound Ideas CD’s of cartoon sound effects where it will include Jimmy McDonald sound effects as well.

Looks like that men holds all of the universe secrets...

What are those things he used to make the bird noises at 0:37 and the squeaky footsteps at 0:52? Also what is that at 1:05?

1:08 why are those guys wearing crazy masks? lol

2:03 What's the guy using to make the bear growl? Is that the glass bit from one of those Oil Lamps you see at Cracker Barrel or something?

1:21 How did she do that?!

1:08⛈

Well that explains that sounds

50's Asmr 😅

The train voice girl sounds like an early vocoder effect

So much better than protools

Rip mr.

The bear sound is my favorite.

2:25 Tick-Tock The Crocodile

I think it's a Cartoon Trax Rarest Sound Effects

2:36 You’re using coconuts!

I'd never seen the one of the crocodile, cute! Does anyone know what the Nautilus one is?

I like that bear sound

Donald Duck: Oh, Shut Up! Spring: You, Shut Up! Donald Duck: Oh Yeah?🤨 0:00 Spring: Oh Yeah!😎 Donald Duck: Says Who?!🤨 Spring: Says I!😂 Donald Duck: I'll Bust You, You Doggone Snake In The Grass!!😠
