Regarding that link to the donkey scene above, I think I remember a factoid.

When Walt Kelly (of Pogo fame) was still working with Disney studios, that character of Lampwick was his own personal design and animation, IIRC. Not only is Lampwick superbly realized, it’s easy to see that he’s a bald-faced caricature of Mickey Rooney doing his comic bad boy in **Boys’ Town**.
