I miss Thurl Ravenscroft quite dearly. He was the voice of Tony the Tiger. He had also done a lot of projects for Walt Disney. You can even hear him in many Disneyland attractions! In the Enchanted Tiki Room, he is the voice of Fritz the German Parrot. In the Haunted Mansion, he is seen one of the singing busts. In the Country Bear Jamboree, he is the voice of Buff the Buffalo Head. Thurl was even honored as a Disney Legend! He was also the one who sang, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch". RIP, Thurl Ravenscroft! We'll never forget you!
