Soundscape Artist Jimmy MacDonald


This is a video of Jimmy doing the sounds that were in most of the Disney films.

Jimmy MacDonald was an English-Born American, sound effects artist at Disney. 
He Had worked for Disney for over 48 years and had assembled one of the most largest and impressive sound effects libraries in motion picture. 
He Began his career in 1934 and added extra dimension to all the Disney animated films.
( His voice was iconic and was used for the yodeling, whistling and sneezing for the Dwarfs in Snow White and the seven Dwarfs. The bark for Pluto and on many occasions the excited high-pitched voice of Chip and Dale.)
Jimmy is also the voice of the iconic Micky Mouse. This was his first role being part of the team being the voice of the Micky Mouse in the short film. After that he stayed on being part of the sound affects department, and doing vocal effects and cartoon voices.
There wasn't a sound that Jimmy Couldn't do. He could create sound out of anything and it worked well in all of the Disney films.
