| | The Disney Blog: Peter Jennings, Joe Ranft, Paul Frees receive Disney Legends Award, among others |
 | | Frees was often called upon in the 1950s and 1960s to "loop" the dialogue of other actors, often to correct for foreign accents, lack of English proficiency, or poor line readings by non-professionals. |
 | | Most famously, Frees comic Germanic accent and free-wheeling improvisational ability brought personality and popularity to Donald Duck's nutty Uncle, Professor Ludwig Von Drake, who was introduced on "An Adventure in Color" (1961) and subsequently became a frequent host of the Sunday night television institution, as well as a star of Disneyland Records. |
 | | Frees was active until his death from heart failure on November 2, 1986, in Tiburon, California. |
