applecore :]
You know the quote:
"Dale: Applecore!
Donald Duck: Baltimore!
Dale: Who's your friend?
Donald Duck: Me!
[Donald gets an apple in his face]"
Does anyone know the history behind it?
I would appreciate it if anyone knew. :]
I've been wondering the same thing, so I googled it. Someone named Duckman (not Jason Alexander) had a blog post that says this:
"There has been some question on the origin of the Applecore .. Baltimore gag. Veteran Disney animator Bill Justice in an interview in the early 1990's claimed that this memorable bit of business was something that he and the other gagmen had invented specifically for Donald Applecore.
"In fact, the gag was used in Melody Time (1948) during the Johnny Appleseed sequence. It is incorporated into the song the pioneers are singing during the Apple Jubilee. This at least proves that the whole thing didn't originate with the Donald short."
