Ah, Thurl Ravenscroft... Here's a voice that commands respect; deep, booming, and shows just how masterful the first generation of voice actors were in their prime.
4:14 the singing goblins is scary:
He’s like the white version of James Earl Jones. For the Mr. Ed sitcom, they should have had him do the talking horse.
One of the first professional voice actors and truly one of the greatest ** he has the deepest and mainliest voice I have ever heard.
He was not just good, he was GRRRRRRREAT
Francesco Brosolo I associated this man not only with Tony the Tiger, but also as every deep-voiced Disney role from my childhood. I didn’t realize he has been dead since 2005😯
Oh, and Dr. Seuss
And with Disneyland since his voice is everywhere in the park.
I agree 100%
I love his voice, most of them I didn't know he did
R.I.P. Thurl Ravenscroft. He was an awesome American voice actor. Plus, he was so funny. And another thing, he had a deep powerful voice.
He was my favorite cartoon vacuum
Derwent voices
I'm a big fan of him
Like James Earl Jones
@@darkstarmoonshadow and Ted Cassidy from The Addams Family
One of the most iconic old school voices.
@Saturday Morning Rewind Could you do the many voices of Billy Bob Thompson.
The Brave Little Toaster is hands down the most underrated animated movies of all time. I knew Jon Lovitz was Radio and Phil Hartman was The Air Conditioner but I never realized Thurl was the voice of Kirby!
He didn't really have that many voices, it was more like a variation of his own spectacular real voice....he had the biggest voice of all time and there was nobody like him.
With a voice like that, he didn't need to vary too much.
Closest is James Earl Jones...also a strong name.
@@mr.e1220 Yeah, Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft and James Earl Jones. Two of the greatest real names I've ever heard.
#MarkSilverman: To your point, this was a similar observation made by Chuck Jones about the late, great Mel Blanc. MAN OF A THOUSAND VOICES, all the same. Mel Blanc never had to do any great alterations to his speaking voice. The sound engineers would occasionally speed up or slow down his audio takes on reel to reel tapes to get different sounds. His Daffy and Bugs were sped up while Yosemite Sam was hard on the throat. He was once quoted as saying Sylvester the Cat and Mr. Spacely was closest to his real voice! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸📽🗽🦂
Don't know if this contributed to his big booming voice, but he stood almost 6'6."
Thurl Ravenscroft was super underrated and was considered a secret weapon of voice acting.
Wow. I had no idea how big a part this man’s voice played in my childhood entertainment. Salute to him and Mel Blanc
5:47 In pilgrim porky he played as one of the pilgrims.
The 2 best of all time
From Tony the Tiger to the original singer of You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch, Thurl Ravenscroft was a legend!
Even as a child, I could definately recognize his deep voice; it is absolutely iconic.
Just found out he was 6’5” tall (a little under 196 cm). Not all tall men have deep voices, not all deep-voiced men are tall, but it seems a good match.
He was GRRRRRRRRRRREAT as Tony the Tiger and Kirby the Vaccum from "The Brave Little Toaster". And of course he had a wonderful singing voice.
I only knew him well as Kirby
I've been drawing Kirby like crazy and I think if he were alive today he would be impressed
Sang in bass register, too. 😁
JCBro2014 At barely 26 years of age he provided the vocals for monstro the whale in Pinnochio
Not to mention his narrative skills
Thurl Ravenscroft: the only person (other than Morgan Freeman) whose voice I'd kill to have as my default voice, since I have a wide range of voices.
He's more than good, he's grrreat!
My favorite voice roles of Ravenscorft are the voices in ‘How the Grinch stole Christmas’ and ‘Snoopy come home’.
NO DOGS ALLLOOOOWWEEDD.
YOU'RE A MEAN ONE,MR.GRINCH!
@@seatspud OR BIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRDDDDDSSSS!
NO DOGS ALLLLOWEEED!!! I remember that one. Memories :)
...or biiiiiiirrrds! 🎶
He had a wonderful voice-over career. I totally remember him as Tony The Tiger.
Singing bust from the Haunted Mansion. And singing vocal you're mean one Mr Grinch
His singing is under appreciated. It’s really good, R.I.P. “He’s greeeeeaaatt”
You're mean one, Mr. Grinch 2:36
Yup
Did he do the voiceover for, the commercial for "Rug Doctor....steaming mad at dirt"
I always thought that was James earl jones
Oh, dear Lord! All this time I never knew about Thurl Ravenscroft having been such a part of my life! Besides the vocal characterizations, he and I have shared the same first name throughout our coexistence. Same sound, different spelling. He was 'Thurl', I am 'Thearle'. I was named after my father and was always encouraged by both my parents to be proud of everything about me, especially my name. Thank you, Mr. Ravenscroft, for Tony the Tiger and the 'Mr. Grinch' song, which I sing like you every Christmas. 🎄 'Ta-da!' T. Hamilton, Uniondale, NY 😊
It's amazing to see how much of one's childhood a single person can be without one even knowing it.
One of those people who just did EVERYTHING. There were certain people who were heard all the time in various things, we'll miss all of them. He was certainly one of the best!
Was so glad to be shown this video. I knew Thurl in his final years and he is sorely missed. Thank you for uploading this!
Quick note: Thurl didn't voice the train announcements at the depots at Disneyland; that's mostly been credited to Jack Wagner (and even also Peter Renaday). Thurl did the onboard narrations.
It’s a little terrifying realizing he could sound so high and had such a good range. When he sang that pajama song I could believe the same man who sang you’re a mean one mr grinch could sing so high as well. What a spectacular man.
Exactly, he sounds like a different person.
Always loved his baritone singing voice!
Maurice Isaac bass not baritone
Basso Profundo, not bass or baritone.
Literally a 'contrabass'.
Definitely a bass lol
@@HyzerFlexOnYou Well technically yes, but he also falls under the subtype Basso Profundo, which are deeper and stronger basses than the standard bass range
Heck yeah thanks for acknowledging my request!
What a powerful, commanding voice.
Yes you made a wonderful choice 😉
this guy and candy candido are the kings of low character voices. fantastic pitch and tone as well when he sings which is crazy considering he could go all the way down to E1 in chest
I knew I knew that voice from more places than just haunted mansion! He did a bunch of dr suess and old Disney, plus all those rides and shows at the parks.
The GRRRREAT Thurl Ravenscroft of everything like Tony the Tiger & Disney movies and theme parks! (Forgot including Dumbo in which he’s heard from Pink Elephants in Parade)
In the beginning when he switched from the buffalo to Fritz from the Tiki Room, my smile was so big it hurt my face.
Thurl is always an amazing actor to bring joy and passion behind his wonderous voice! To me, I'll always enjoy him as The Goblins singing voice in the Hobbit. I almost thought he was gonna offer me some cereal!
He was also heard in “Dumbo” for Disney in 1941 with The Sportsmen singing “Pink Elephants on Parade”. Later in 1962 for UPA in “Gay Purr-ee” he sang as a member of The Mellomen, accompanying Paul Frees in “The Money Cat”. Millions heard Thurl in the 1980’s as the narrator of the Magnificent Christmas Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall.
Speaking of, he was a member of The Sportsmen from 1937-1942
Another thing he did with the Mellomen was the singing over the opening titles of the Donald Duck cartoon "Trick or Treat". (A different part of it was used in the video, with Thurl singing solo.)
("Trick or Treat" may have been the first time the legendary June Foray did the voice of a witch.)
You've made my day now that I imagine Tony the Tiger singing 'You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch'!
Great singer! I really liked that old black&white Tony the Tiger commercial!
He had a powerful voice and a name like an RPG character. He rocked
RIP to a legendary voice actor!
Another golden voice of the voice acting world up there along with the fabulous Tony Jay. Thurl Ravenscroft had quite the voice that one could never ever forget. He rocks my socks!
For many years, he was also the narrator for the 'Pageant of the Masters' in Laguna Beach, which always added much to the experience. RIP, Thurl!
Tony the Tiger is my favorite! He’s not just good, he’s grrreat!
A great video except that’s Jack Wagner doing the Disneyland Railroad announcement. Thurl was the narration once you’re on the train for a while though. He was the best of all the train narrators.
I didn’t think it sounded like Thurl, but I’m not an expert.
Great singer of animations and voice.
Thurl Ravenscroft's memories! I love it! This is so cool!
Brilliant just Brilliant!!!!!
Tony the Tiger is the first one that came to mind, though I also like him singing "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "No Dogs Allowed".
Cool I love The Brave Little Toaster
Same, it was one of my favorite childhood movies. I watched it at least 1,000 times
Robbie Rotten me too
I liked it, watched it in my preschool, but it was ALL my little brother wanted to watch lol
Paul Wilkinson cute
@@BenjaminGoodman me too, it's also the most underrated Disney franchise and possibly the most forgotten
Always will be Kirby the Vacuum cleaner and the Grinch song singer to me. Never realized how involved in Disney he was
Dave Hallsen. Don't forget my favorite, the headless horseman
What a legend he was! He was my idol and inspiration to try to get into voice acting!
I can't get enough of this guy's voice. It doesn't hurt that he looks and kinda sounds like my great uncle. :)
My favorite voice roles of Thurl Ravenscroft is thing 1 and 2, 🐅, Kirby, Paul Bunyan, how the grinch stole 🎄, 🐴, Black 🍯 pot, Horton hears a who!, the hobbit, the aristocats, the haunted mansions, monstro the 🐳, and 🧔🏻 Knight from the 🗡 in the stone.
No more emojis for you!!!!!
He also sang the Headless Horseman in the recording of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
@Marco Castillo Yes, he could.
The Brave Little Toaster is such a great film and Thurl is great in it. I keep forgetting how not only emotional but SCARY he can be in that movie!
Such powerful and authoritative voice, yet the man behind the voice is so cool.
It's hard to imagine that the folk you have highlited wouldn't be hounoured by your efforts and sentiment to showcase their legacies. It really is a beautiful thing you have done bringing so much of their work together and putting a human face to all their characters, connecting our eyes to what our hearts find so dear. These videos are the creation people dreamed of to show at birthdays, or retirement parties or funerals, but no one had the ability until the digital era. The love and care you show for making these is the same love and care they did making their work, so the legacy is carried to the next generation and we, the audience, continue to be blessed by all involved. Leaving the final question, who will make the video of all your works???? God bless you for these compilations.
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words ❤️
TheRadioAteMyTV I wonder if Thurl would be honored that Plankton's voiced is partially based off of Tony the Tiger lmao
@@SaturdayMorningRewind Could you do the many voices if Jason Griffith.
Man it seems like he was every deep voice in the 20th century
He and Candy Candido (the latter whom growled a lot as well before Frank Welker made it cool)
The man was amazing! I wish there were more interviews with him.
BTW Thurl also voiced Darth Vader in Donnie & Mary Star Wars spoof (whome he also narrated)
That's Marie.
Kirby was Darth Vader?!
I not only watched that Donny & Marie episode when it originally aired, I even recorded the audio from the Star Wars spoof with my tape recorder. (But I'm sure that tape is long gone.)
Donny played Luke Skywalker and Marie played Princess Leia. Kris Kristofferson played Han Solo. Redd Foxx played Obi-Wan Kenobi. ("I come from a distant planet called Sanford. My planet has its own moon, its own stars, and its own galaxy. But this year Sanford has no sun.") Paul Lynde played the evil emporer. And the "real" C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca and Darth Vader played themselves.
I forgot about the Stormtroopers:
"We're Darth Vader's raiders and we're here to fight
We're out of sight
So Fee fi fo fum
Look out world because here we come"
Not only does he have a bad-ass name, but his voice is intrinsic to my nostalgia for Disneyland.
One of Best Voices I've ever Heard.... ;)
A wonderful actor and a genuinely lovely man. He really did do a wide variety of different characters and that unique and distinctive voice is one we'll remember forever. He was a one-off and there'll never be another like him. Thanks for the memories Mr Ravenscroft ❤ 😊
Wow I didn’t know he’s voice acted so many things for stuff, I mean I’ve only seen a compilation of some of his moments in a low note vocal range on RUclips, he sounds great even in his older days
One of the reasons I enjoy watching your Many Voices of videos is because they remind me of how much these voice actors and their performances inspire me 😊
I’ll admit that Thurl Ravenscroft in particular inspires me so much that I would love to draw a character inspired by him (or at the very least is named after him; I love rare names like his)
Thurl lived a handful of miles from me (in Fullerton, Ca.) in the final years of his life.
He was in the local phonebook, and yes, I spoke to him on the phone once, briefly. :)
Thank you thurl for showing us how beautiful humans can be. Your contributions will never be forgotten.
One of my two favorite bass singers. The other was Ken Schoen, "Oil Can Harry" in Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse cartoons of the 40's and 50's.
7:13-7:14 And 7:15-7:16 Statue Head: (Evil Ghost Laughter)
So much of my childhood there from the animated shows and commercials, to the Disney parks.
The man was an amazing talent!
Thanks for accepting my request.
His voice is so satisfying🥰🥰 and man he was so many characters 🙌🏾
Favorites are Tony the Tiger and Kirby the vacuum cleaner
bridget Lee mine too
Me too
3:30 -- Had NO idea he was singing in Pirates but man it's obvious. So talented.
@Treble Music45 I definitely remember that, he cuts through so well. I used to confuse him as the narrator of Haunted Mansion but it doesn't have his bassy voice.
Awww Snoopy, that poor beagle that got kicked out of the train, hospital, apartment, wherever he went he saw the sign, "NO DOGS ALLOWED". Liked the way Mr. Ravenscrofts sang this!
One of the legendary voice overs for sure 😀
love his voice on the aristocats
The Tennessee Ernie Ford of voice over actors. Baritone men we have heard before and loved for their abilities!
Basses* I wish I could sound like them being a baritone lmao
8:33
After he retired from Voice acting career in 1998, he continue voicing Tony the Tiger from Kellogg's Frosted Flakes commercials until 2004, before he died in 2005.
He was the true Tony the Tiger and thing 1 & 2 to this day may his legacy of a large dog still live on in 2022.
Kirby. From the brave little toaster movies.
That's all I see when I picture when I hear these different voiceovers. Like his Stromboli; I see Kirby speaking with an Italian accent
Samantha Alessandra He wasn’t Stromboli, that was Charles Judels. But he WAS Monstro actually ;)
@@jenniferhiemstra5228, Thurl Ravenscroft voiced Stromboli in Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, but not in the actual Pinocchio film.
They're Grrrrrrrrreat 0:48
I always loved him as Tony the Tiger. And he did an excellent job in siging You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch.
I fell in love with his voice when I was but a scared little girl riding The Haunted Mansion for the first time 😂 Since then I've been obsessed!
Favorites Roles: Tony the Tiger, Kirby from Brave Little Toaster, and Monstero from Phinochio.
The voice of Leo the Tiger. Geoffrey the Toys R Us Giraffe and Mr Bubble
It's Tony the Tiger, not Leo the Tiger.
Tony the Tiger definitely. #1, Cat in the Hat, Original Grinch Stole Christmas, Brave Little Toaster, Aristocats
Here are a few actors for SMR:
John Kassir
Fred Willard (1939-2020)
Patrick Warburton
Dallas McKennon (1919-2009)
Lennie Weinrib (1935-2006)
Brian Doyle-Murray
John Goodman
Jason Marsden
He was one of the best voice actors along with paul frees
Springtime for Pluto was my favorite of his. As a kid I loved the classical music and cartoon
Ah, the greatest voice actor in all of Norfolk.
Wow. I knew some of those. Some surprised me. RIP .
Thurl RavenCroft is the best voice of Tony the Tiger. 🐯
And they say, Omar’s heart grew 3x that day, upon seeing this video.
He is awesome, thank you for the video!!!
The best Tony! That deep voice. It's grrrrreeeat!
Cool I was hoping you'd add him, I also would've included his solo in Gay Purr-ee during the "Money Cat" song and as the lethargians from The Phantom Tollbooth.
Thanks for mentioning “Gay Purr-ee” which I referred to in another posted comment. Thurl was a member of the singing group The Mellomen at that time in 1962.
I remember Thurl Ravenscroft best as Tony the Tiger and Kirby from The Brave Little Toaster.
I remember him best as Kirby, the rest left me feeling dumb that nothing clicked with Tony The Tiger or most of the Dr. Seuss or Disney animations
@Saturday Morning Rewind Could you do the many voices of Eric Stuart.
Brought back alot of great childhood memories watching this. 🎉🎉👍 😊
LEGEND!
He also sings the theme song for the Disney Hardy Boys intro!
That voice! What a beautifully delicious voice!
"You're a bad banana with a -- greasy black peel!" Perfect delivery!
Thank You!!! For reminding me as a kid watching movies and cartoons. Never knew what actor played the voices of so many favorites I've seen, as a kid I hated the credits and just fast forward. (On Beta Max)
