Notes[]
- At the time when Colvig recorded his voice roles for Looney Tunes between 1939-1943, Colvig himself co-incidentally had left Disney in 1937 after a falling out with Walt Disney, therefore resulting his characters over at Disney such as Goofy and Pluto to be temporarily taken over by sound-alikes in his absence. Colvig returned to Disney and resumed voicing Goofy from 1944 until his death in 1967, therefore ending his voice work for Looney Tunes after "Hop and Go" (1943) [2].
- In almost all of his voice-over roles for Looney Tunes, he uses the exact same voice he provided for the Disney character Goofy, and co-incidentally some of these characters he voiced even share an almost-similar personality as his Goofy character, most notably in the character Conrad the Cat from "Conrad the Sailor" (1942), Cecil Crow from "Aloha Hooey" (1942), amongst others.
