 In the 1970s , Hanna @-@ Barbera produced an animated series called The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan . Keye Luke , who had played Chan 's son in many Chan films of the 1930s and ' 40s , lent his voice to Charlie , employing a much @-@ expanded vocabulary . The series focused on Chan 's children , played initially by East Asian @-@ American child actors before being recast , due to concerns that younger viewers would not understand the accented voices . The title character bears some resemblance to the Warner Oland depiction of Charlie Chan . Leslie <unk> voiced Chan 's daughter Anne , before being replaced by Jodie Foster .
