On the Downbeat

Sir Wally Walrus conducts an orchestra of animals in The Overture to William Tell, a 1947 Musical Miniature directed by Dick Lundy for Walter Lantz.

Here are some of Wally's positions as he gets set to lead the orchestra in the Ranz des Vaches portion of Rossini's famous composition.



La Verne Harding and Casey Onaitis receive the animation credits in this cartoon, with Bugs Hardaway and Milt Schaffer charged with coming up with different musical instrument gags than in the other Miniatures.

    This is stalwart Wally animator La Verne Harding, who handles the bulk of Wally's scenes in this short.
