An Oklahoma Man Was the Voice of Some of Your Favorite Disney Characters

You may not recognize his name, but I assure you. He was probably a big part of your childhood.

Happy Birthday to the Late Clarence Nash!

Here's a fun fact about Oklahoma I learned today. A man by the name of Clarence Nash was the voice of several of our favorite Disney characters back in the day. Basically, if it was a member of the Duck family in the original cartoons. Clarence was the voice of it.

Donald Duck and Daisy Duck

Huey, Dewey, and Loie (Donald Duck's Nephews)

Uncle Scrooge

Don't Worry, Mr. Nash Could Do More Than Just the Ducks

What's crazy, for a small period of time. The voice of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse were both Clarence Nash. As many folks know the original voice of the famous mouse was Walt Disney himself. However throughout the years, several different people have voiced the famous mouse including Clarence Nash. Check out his Mickey voice below.

Clarence Nash as Mickey Mouse

Clarence would also work on other Disney projects that didn't feature Mickey or Donald. Including 101 Dalmatians, The Fox and the Hound, Pinocchio, and Bambi. Clarence would retire from The Walt Disney company in 1971, but would come out of retirement in 1983 for one last Donald Duck voice.

Mickey's Christmas Carol, The Last Clarence Nash Donald Duck

Since Christmas is around the corner, maybe Mickey's Christmas Carol is a tradition of yours. Clarence Nash would play Donald Duck one last time for this movie. He would be the only original voice to return to play his character.

First Time the World Saw Clarence Nash

Obviously the voice behind cartoon characters back in the day people really didn't know. Nowadays you can follow them on social media, but back in the day you had to hope they would appear on some TV show. The world saw Clarence do Donald Duck on What's My Line back in 1954. You can scroll all the way to the end to hear him do the voice.

R.I.P. to the Legendary Voice

I can't imagine doing the voice of Donald Duck for that many years. It seems like one of the hardest voices to do and would just destroy your throat. Clarence did the voice of Donald for 51 years. Just wanted to share a fun fact about an Oklahoman that you may not have known.

American Girl Doll

They were all the rage then, and they're still popular today. Having one of these was definitely a status symbol. It was pretty cool to have a doll that looks just like you.

Baby Alive

We would feed her actual food and change her dirty diapers. Somehow this was fun.

My Size Barbie

Life size Barbie! The best part is that you could share clothes.

Barney

"I Love You, You Love Me."🎶 Whether it was a stuffed toy or that creepy Jack-in-the-Box, you probably had Barney something.

Bop It!

"Bop it, pull it, twist it." That was probably stuck in your head most days.

Don't Break the Ice

Where anxiety began.

Bumble Ball

We can feel this picture.

Beanie Babies

Before Squishmallows, there were Beanie Babies. Probably the most sought after collectable in the '90s (and no, they weren't filled with spider eggs...look it up).

Crocodile Dentist

If you grew up to be a dentist, this may have been where it all started. Although, now those bites probably hurt a little more.

Dream Phone

It was the hottest mystery game where you gathered with all of your girlfriends and discovered which cute boy had a crush on you. We really just liked using that pink phone though.

Doddle Bear

Where we let our inner artist out.

Easy-Bake Oven

Essentially a hot light bulb that cooked small batches of batter. Yum?

Furby

They may seem creepy now, but looking back these little furry creatures were our beloved pets.

Gak

After watching Double Dare we were all obsessed with the sticky green substance.

Don't Wake Daddy

It kept us on edge as we imagined trying to sneak past obstacles for a midnight snack all before the alarm went off. Kind of like we did in real life.

Game Boy

It was all the fun of Nintendo in the palm of your hand. It also came with the crazy new game (at the time)...Tetris.

Giga Pets

They were way needier than Tamagotchis.

Hit Clips

Short clips of songs on keychain-sized cartridges, does it get better than that? The more you had dangling from your backpack or belt loop, the cooler you were.

Glow in the Dark Stars

They lit up our rooms at night. 🌟The coolest rooms had these.

Hungry Hungry Hippos

This game really brought out our competitive side. It also consisted of us hammering down that little lever as fast as we could, regardless of if a ball was near.

Let's Go Fishin'

It was soooo satisfying when you got one. 🎣

K'NEX

They filled toy boxes and showed up in random places throughout the house.

Lite-Brite

The commercials were magical, the real light was somewhat disappointing. But, we still had fun with it.

LIFE

Our guide for the real thing.

Mall Madness

Another one you probably forgot all about until you saw that board with the escalator in the middle. This was back when malls were all that and a bag of chips.

Miss Magic Hair

The hair stamps, though! They need a millennial Toys "R" Us for those of us whose parents couldn't afford these back in the day.

Mood Rings

If you weren't a fan of these you can talk to the hand because how else would you know what mood you're in?

Mouse Trap

We barely knew how to play it, but we sure did like setting it up.

Nintendo

From Duck Hunt to Super Mario--Classic.

Ninja Turtles

Cowabunga! They were popular then, and they still are today.

Pin Art Board

We put our hands and face in it, and never cleaned it.

Pez Dispensers

They may not have meant to be a toy, but that didn't stop us from playing with and collecting them.

Operation

Let's ignore the fact that the game consisted of us pulling ribs out of a guy, that buzz was terrifying.

Hours of Crash Bandicoot played on this.

Pogs

Remember the days when all it took to entertain us was knocking down a stack of these?

Pokémon Cards

"Gotta Catch em All"... (and we tried).

Polly Pocket

The travel-sized doll house.

Poo-Chi Dog

You probably forgot all about this one. They were our high-tech best friends. Also, if you had two they would bark at each other.

Rainbow Art

We either had the kit or had the commercial seared into our brain.

Power Rangers

The theme song really hyped us up, and we picked our favorite ranger based on the color of their suit.

Sega

You can hear it now...."SeGaaa".

Sky Dancers

These adorable little helicopters were out for blood. While awesome, it wasn't pleasant if it smacked you in the face.

Socker Boppers

The best way to work out issues with your siblings.

Spirograph

Made us feel like a legit artist. These for sure when on the refrigerator.

Slinky

We got these just to put them down the stairs.

Slap Bracelets

We would literally just slap them on and off our wrists all day. Had to be pleasant for parents.

Stretch Armstrong

This guy went through some hard times. We would stretch and twist him as much as we could. He never broke though.

Super Nintendo

Mario on this was next level. Countless hours spent riding Yoshi around.

Tamagotchi

A tiny toy that had such a big impact. It gave us lessons about responsibility as we had to care for it like we would a baby.

Simple, yet satisfying.

Tech Deck Finger Skateboards

We put them together, then barely played with them.

Whoopie Cushion

Funny then, funny today. Who can resist a classic fart joke?

Yo, I know you remember these. They were the OG fidget spinners. So many hours spent mastering tricks so you could rule the playground.
