Professor Ludwig Von Drake
Professor Ludwig Von Drake is one of Walt Disney\'s cartoon characters. Professor Ludwig Von Drake was introduced as a new character along side Walt Disney himself in the very first episode of Walt Disney\'s Wonderful World of Color after the series was moved to NBC. He was designed, and frequently animated, by Milt Kahl, one of Disney\'s Nine Old Men of animators. Ludwig Von Drake comes from Vienna, Austria and has a fascination with knowledge. Since his youth he has been trying to obtain as many diplomas, in any science, as possible. When he is consulted by other family members, it is a running gag that he almost invariably turns out to have a university degree relevant for whatever information they are seeking. He is often shown as having little social competence, however, and is often portrayed as being very forgetful, sometimes even somewhat senile. Ludwig usually visits with Donald Duck and Donald\'s nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. On occasion, Daisy Duck would coax (or even trick) the professor into giving lectures and tours for her ladies\' club.
This original hand-painted animation cel of Donald Duck\'s eccentric uncle Professor Ludwig Von Drake was created in the Disney ink-and-paint department and photographed during the making of an animated episode of Walt Disney\'s Wonderful World of Color. Voiced by Disney favorite Paul Frees, Von Drake was the host of An Adventure in Color, the first show in Walt Disney\'s hour-long weekly television series that debuted on NBC in September, 1961. He was featured in eighteen (18) episodes.
Disney Art CornerDisney\'s Art Corner was a retail store that operated at Disneyland amusement park in Anaheim, California from 1955 until 1966. It was originally in a temporary location on opening day in the alley-way between The Red Wagon Inn Restaurant and the Plaza Apartments. Once Tomorrowland was completed, it was moved to a building next to the Flight Circle and Moonliner in the Tomorrowland area of the park. The interior was decorated with a whimsical French look, as if you were browsing through the streets of Paris for original art bargains. Clearly an odd fit for the Tomorrowland theme. One of The Art Corner\'s main claims to fame is as an outlet for Disney animation cels. A limited number of these collector-prized items had once been available through the Courvoisier Gallery (from 1938 until 1946), but had been off the market until Disneyland opened in 1955. \"The Art Corner rescued innumerable cels from being destroyed (which they had been by the studio prior), saving many for future generations.Payment
