Sunday Funnies: Fly With Von Drake (Disney's Wonderful World of Color/Wonderful World of Disney, 1963)

 Disney's Wonderful World of Color, aka The Wonderful World of Disney, had a delicious mix of animated and live-action entries. We have one of the live-action two-parters over at The Land of Whatever, so now let's give the animation some equal time.

Walt Disney is our tour guide. "Fly With Von Drake" starts with a brief, speculative exploration of space, narrated by Paul Frees. Later, Ludwig Von Drake (Frees) takes over, trying to claim he was there when the Wright Brothers took that first flight.


Von Drake's a regular Baron Munchausen, isn't he? He's kind of like the daffy uncle you have over for dinner, and telling so many wild stories.

Rating: A.
