Lugosi and Walt Disney’s Fantasia (1940)

During the making of Fantasia (1940), Bela Lugosi auditioned for the animation of the demon lord Chernabog. In an unfortunate twist the role was credited to director Wilfred Jackson, but according to Walt Disney himself (*see above image), Lugosi’s tapes were used as reference. It was an unethical and underhanded decision, however much more expensive Bela Lugosi’s asking pay may have been. But, I am grateful for what remains: Bela’s movements animating the fearsome Chernabog. The gestures are a thousand percent his. One photo exists of Lugosi’s audition.

The part of that movie The Night on Bald Mountain had always been one my favorite since childhood, although it also terrified me.

Taken from the Facebook group A Celebration of the Life and Art of Bela Lugosi; I highly recommend this group.
