Classic Cartoon Sound Effects: How Were They Made?

The fire that killed Bambi’s mom was a paper bag. Those early Foley guys were extremely creative and used all sorts of everyday materials that you wouldn’t expect.

Bob Clampett said that he himself did the BEE-YOOP sound he used with the iris closing using his own mouth. Probably a few sounds were done by mouth.
Some sounds were done in surprising ways – I’m still amazed that Godzilla’s roar was done by moving a gloved hand over a rosined bowstring. Some things don’t sound the way you think they should.

The OP was actually logged on during the summer…
