Voice Actor Jack Mercer in Fleischer's Gulliver, He did how many voices ? Options

[Igor]

I was Google-ing around looking for lyrics to the songs from Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels, and I came across some voice credits at IMDB that said they were complete, but all they listed were the main characters, non of the minor ones.

Then I did some digging into the name Jack Mercer. Found a page that says he did ALL the voices in the old Felix the Cat 'toons. That says to me that then Jack was the voice of all three spies and probably King Bombo as well.

Can anyone out there help me out on this ?

Thanks.

Interesting discussion, and lots of useufl background info. Verring off topic slightly, to the earlier point, King Bombo, according to most sources (as well as my own admittedly not always reliable ear), was played by Tedd Pierce, who had played various roles at Warner Bros., and went on to play C. Bagley Beetle in "Mr. Bug Goes to Town."

Though radio singer (a regular on "Showboat" at the time) Lanny Ross is credited as the singing voice of Prince David, as M. Pointer stated, his few speaking lines were Mercer's. I've oft debated whether or not to purchase the I YAM WHAT I YAM book on Mercer by Fred Grandinetti, rather guardedly promoted by Jerry Beck as essentially a scrapbook. Considering how long his animation career spanned, in various capacities, even a scrapbook-style book should prove interesting (I wish I could get my hands on the Mercer interview record included with Funnyworld #18, long ago).
