    Jean Vander Pyl deserved a medal for voicing such an iconic character for several decades, next to June Foray playing Rocket J. Squirrel, Natasha Fatale, and Granny, Mel Blanc playing most of the Looney Tunes, Clarence Nash playing Donald Duck, and Frank Welker playing Fred Jones.
    Tress MacNeille has also done an excellent job replicating Pyl's performance.

    Jean Vander Pyl is Wilma Flintstone! She gave us such a wonderful perfermance for years to enjoy. Loving, kind, cynical, sexy, and so much more! I am proud Tress MacNeille has taken up the mantle as she is also a Legendary Voice artist herself! Rest well Jean, you've given us an icon as memorable as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny!

    Wow! Tress MacNeille is a perfect voice match! I honestly can't tell the difference between her and Jean Vander Pyl's Wilma! Then again, I've heard her in interviews, and her regular voice does kind of sound like Wilma's, so that might be it. Or maybe Tress was Jean's understudy of sorts, like how they do it at Disney? I know that Tony Anselmo was taught the Donald Duck voice by Clarence Nash, and all of the major Mickey actors following Walt Disney were taught the voice by their predecessor, and it's near impossible to tell that the voice changed for either of them.

    • @LowellLucasJr.
      @LowellLucasJr. 4 роки тому +5

      There's a good chance she could have learned under Jean at some point in time, but also considering Tresses range she might have been able to pick up a few tricks. Either way she is a phenomenal voice actress and I do believe she will honor Jeans performance very well!

    Jean Vander Pyl also voiced Pebbles and various other characters on the show. She also worked on The Jetsons, voicing Rosie the Robot maid, Mrs. Spacely, and various other characters. Mel blanc also voiced main characters on the shows (Barney and Mr. Spacely). Unlike today's animated shows, the cast would gather togethers and voice their characters as if they were doing a live radio comedy, which makes sense as they all came out of radio. Jean was also in an hour long episode of the original The Twilight Zone,.

    Well, can’t really do a ranking here because there’s only two regular voices for the adult version of Wilma (I’ve heard that Gerry Johnson might have done the voice in a 1967 Busch Beer promotional film, but to my knowledge there aren’t any reliable sources to confirm it). I suppose if I really had to choose, I’d pick Vander Pyl simply because she’s the voice I’m most used to, but MacNeille is a very good replacement.
    Of The Flintstones Kids voices, I’d have to say I prefer Fraser, although I don’t think either voice really works particularly well. At least Fraser’s performance isn’t as annoying as Dees’s. Sellers doesn’t really have enough lines to properly compare.

    You put up a poll that I cant find anymore asking for feedback, but I just complained about the voice evolution series and forgot the actual feedback portion, so I'm putting it here. I think a lot of your viewers are here to learn about the characters they love with all the facts you find (in that sweet accent) so maybe replace voice evolution entirely with things about movies? (Though that would take more time and time is money I know) or shorten the voice videos but give us more information on the voice or character (Like theres probably a lot less to say about Wilma Flintstone than Fred so maybe stuff about how her character changed as the voice actor did, or why the voice changed if you can find that knowledge) it's just more fun if you guide us through stuff rather than leaving us with various demo reels. I love your work though. Just wanna be constructive

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  4 роки тому

      The main Evolution series is where I cover the history changes in the characters, the little intro at the beginning is mostly all there is to say regarding the voices - these only exist as companion pieces to the main series, which give me a chance to work on something less mentally and time consuming as the regular videos.
      Fact is, while these videos do not perform as well as the main Evolutions, they still vastly out perform most of my other content, so it would be silly not to continue producing them.
      As for the length - I need to meet a 10 minute quota on videos, or my revenue drops by 3/4.
      Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you’re enjoying the series overall.

    Jean Vander Pyl will always be the definitive Wilma Flintstone. Elizabeth Perkins deserves more credit than she usually gets. Although, in my opinion, she fails to perfectly catch that trademark Audrey Meadows style in her voice, she has more than enough of Wilma’s personality as the loving, patient and supportive marriage spouse, that it’s no wonder that Fred loves her.

Back in the Walt Disney and merry melodies days they actually animated everything with full 100% movement. Now cut to today and they animate movement VERY little and mostly just animate mouth movement (which can easily be done with a good computer animated program)
