Early life
Anselmo was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on February 18, 1960.
Since attending a screening of Mary Poppins at the age of four, Anselmo expressed an early interest in Disney. "I remember leaving the theater and asking, 'How did they do this?" Anselmo says.Who did that?'
So a seed was planted there, and I never set out to be a fireman, an explorer, or something else. I wanted to work for Disney," I said.When Anselmo was seven, his family moved to Sunnyvale, northern California, where he continued to research Disney and animation. He began drawing and creating animation with a Super 8 camera, utilizing the famed Preston Blair art book Advanced Animation.
He attended Marian A. Peterson High School in Sunnyvale, California. He started night art classes at local colleges and began a regular correspondence with the filmmakers who created the Disney films, including Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Eric Larson, and Milt Kahl. "Ollie wrote a lot and sent me drawings, advising me to do quick sketch, life drawing, and design," Anselmo says.
In fall 1978, Anselmo completed a full scholarship from the Disney Family to study in the Character Animation Department of the California Institute of the Arts.
Career
Anselmo's career as an animatrix began in 1980, at the age of 20. Anselmo has contributed to the animation of 20 Disney animated films, including The Black Cauldron, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Tarzan, and The Emperor's New Groove. Anselmo was trained and mentored by Donald, Clarence Nash's original voice, who died in 1985 but Anselmo took over Donald Duck's role as Nash desired. On The Disney Channel, he first appeared on a 1986 D-TV Valentine special.
Walt Disney insisted on character consistency and honesty. No one other than Clarence was allowed to speak for Donald as long as Clarence Nash was alive. In 1988, Roy E. Disney established the Disney Character Voices department to ensure that character authenticity, consistency, and quality in recording techniques were preserved.
In an interview, Tony Anselmo said that "most people believe that Donald's voice is done squeezing air through the cheek." I can't comment on how it's done, but it is certainly not done by squeezing air out of the cheek. The Hanna Barbara character 'Yakky Doodle' is handled in this manner. Donald Duck is not one of the Ducks.
In "Mickey Donald Goofy: The Three Musketeers," "Funny You Don't Look 200," "The Prince and the Pauper," and the "60th Annual Academy Awards" in 1988, "Anselmo is the only one to bothanimate and voice Donald Duck."
On the TV show Down and Out With Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse Works and Disney's House of Mouse, Taylor wrote the nephews in DuckTales, Mickey Mouse Works, and Disney's House of Mouse (while Taylor starred the nephews in Mickey Mouse Works and Disney's House of Mouse). (In 2013, Mickey Mouse Works and Mickey Mouse's Once and Twice were presented to the nephews.) In The Great Mouse Detective, Mickey's Around the World in 80 Days and Phineas and Ferb, he lent his voice to minor characters.
Anselmo has also appeared as a voice actor for the Kingdom Hearts film, which features Donald Duck as one of three main characters. In addition, Donald appeared in the Kinect Disneyland Adventures video game in 2011.
Anselmo has been honoured with numerous awards and nominations. He was a winner of the 2014 BTVA Television Voice Acting Award for Best Vocal Ensemble in a Television Series - Children's/Educational for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, as well as the BTVA Best Vocal Ensemble in a Video Game - Dream Drop Distance.
Roy E. Disney named Tony Anselmo a Disney Legend in September 2009.
Anselmo began collecting Disney posters early in life and is best known for his extensive collection of Disney posters relating to Walt Disney's work. This experience culminated in the publication of The Disney Poster Book in 2002, which collected Tony Anselmo's collection. The collection of Anselmo was included in exhibits at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.
