I'm with ya brotha! It makes me sad to see such talented voice actors passing away because they can never be replaced. Oh....they try, but it is never the same. The voice is always off, the inflictions, the delivery... Just ask Kermit the Frog and bugs bunny. There was a time after Walt Disney's passing were Mickey Mouse just sounded horrible. When Mel Blanc died, it was a passing of an era for me. That was my big loss.
I was poking around the
IDMB website and was very surprised to see the huge carreer John had outside the Winnie the Pooh projects. We tend to forget that these people are every much accomplished actors and not just cute voices behinde animated characters.
BTW, I hadn't heard Paul Winchell died. Usually I hear about these things. Guess it didn't get a lot of press. I did find out that Paul's claim to fame was that he was a very talented ventriloquist early in his career.
We'll miss you Piglet and Tigger
