Certainly there were the greats, Daws Butler and Don Messick, but were there others? Towards the start of Top Cat, HB had VanderPyl who came on Snooper and Blabber, Stephenson who came on Flintstones, Doug Young, who came on Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, Bennett who came on Y.Bear(and before that on Tom and Jerry in Busy Buddies in 1956) and Hal Smith. By that time there were a lot of guest voices, like Howard mcNear, Jerry Mann, Nancy Wible, Frank Nelson, Paula Winslowe, Hershei Bernardi, June Forat and.......The question comes to mind-<br /><br />Did they do anything before the prime-time shows?<br /><br />Also in an interview with Earl Kress, Marvin Kaplan stated that when he auditioned for choo-Choo, they made the ones who were on contract to HB, Daws Butler, Don Messick and Lennie Weinrib??? immitated him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-19821512047686097292012-06-03T18:48:15.171-07:002012-06-03T18:48:15.171-07:00Who did the voice of the french King in Tom and Je...Who did the voice of the french King in Tom and Jerry's "Royal Cat Nap" at MGM.

Everyone, of course, is used to his unusual delivery (even before his stroke) on Andy Griffith and the Flintstones. I'd have to check the GoldIndex to see when he did a French accent on 'Suspense.' I must admit OTR drama is not an interest of mine.<br /><br />It doesn't sound like Bill Thompson to me; there's a similarity about a lot of his dialects.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-79516191531413353742012-03-19T03:17:21.796-07:002012-03-19T03:17:21.796-07:00The actor, who does the voice of the masked mouse ...The actor, who does the voice of the masked mouse may be Howard McNer. The acting is very different than what he usually did for instance in The Andy Griffith Show, but otherwise it's him. And he was also brought back to Hanna-Barbera some time later to do a series of nitwitt doctors on Flintstones. It sounds like, even the French Accent he had used one like it on the radio series Suspence, did Mark Evanier think of him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-22958319681224307782012-02-19T13:48:47.448-08:002012-02-19T13:48:47.448-08:00I have nothing to back this up, but when the Mark ...I have nothing to back this up, but when the Mark of the Mouse said "Always remember ze Mark of the Mouse" it sounded an awful lot like Bill Thompson.

So it would last 41 seasons.<br /><br />Also, I will still post here commonly until April 12th, so you might wanna pay attention to my posts.<br /><br />As I have said before, I am 11 years old. Also, I was born on July 31, 1998 in Michigan.<br /><br />Enough talk, thank you once again for the support you have been giving me.<br /><br />I will post to you again tomorrow.<br /><br />RyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-73731145563059544682010-03-08T15:19:26.384-08:002010-03-08T15:19:26.384-08:00I am not actually leaving, guys. As I have said, I...I am not actually leaving, guys. As I have said, I will still occasionally make posts on here, but not so often.<br /><br />This was no family loss. This is a loss of a cousin. I'd love to talk about her, but I think this should be kept a secret for all of us, unless you can let me go ahead, but who would want to do that?<br /><br />Besides, my Nana, 89, passed away on January 21, 2010, possibly of pneumonia, so that will make a deal on the family loss. Also, my Papa, also 89, passed away on July 15, 2008, following a couregous battle against cancer.<br /><br />And now the only interest I have for Hanna-Barbera is if I imagined it as a version of Sesame Street, starting in 1954. (I know, Hanna-Barbera didn't really form until 1957, but I want to deal with the retirement of Don Messick in 1996.) Because I am now interested in Sesame Street (with SpongeBob SquarePants in between slightly).<br /><br />But thank you anyways, guys.<br /><br />Thanks again for your support.<br /><br />RyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-35259097974119046252010-03-08T07:31:37.722-08:002010-03-08T07:31:37.722-08:00Ryan..Sorry to hear about the passing of a family ...Ryan..Sorry to hear about the passing of a family member. Sadly, none of us pass through this ride called life unscathed in one fashion or another. I can relate, and I'm sure most of the posters here can also. You will be in my thoughts. Yowp, you mentioned Harry Cohn, there was a character. I had a conversation a few years back with actress Dorothy Hart, now sadly gone, but she went into detail about her first day at Columbia Studios and their first meeting..WILD!!It brought a whole new light to Red Skelton's famous quip at Mr. Cohn's funeral. But, this is not a 1930s and 40's days of the " Studio System " board....sooo..I am also suprised they had Mr. Jinx watching " Mark Of The Mouse ". He wouldn't have liked this any more than watching " Knock Out Mouse ". Oh well, just setting the stage for the story I guess. This was also at a time when it seemed most kids had some sort of " Hero " costume. I had friends with " Zorro " costumes. Besides having fun and lampooning these characters like Tex Avery did, I think H-B was also cashing in on the children's pop culure of the time.Errolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-48518795917523394952010-03-08T01:30:06.656-08:002010-03-08T01:30:06.656-08:00Ryan, sorry to about your family's loss and fo...Ryan, sorry to about your family's loss and for your haivng to leave..<br /><br />Mr.Yowpster, I'm still sure it's Roger Rgoer's Himalaya, and I've actually, just to clarify how I know, been on a BBC site that I'd it as such, but it's part of a longer 30-minute long "stream", right next to the link to THAT's a "listing"..["BBC Test Tapes", there's a whole mess of these]<br /><br /><br />Steve C.,<a href="http://sjcarrasblog.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">aka Pokey</a>Pokeyhttp://sjcarrasblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-81065239868346589352010-03-07T23:39:56.301-08:002010-03-07T23:39:56.301-08:00Hi, Zartok.

In <i>Missile</i>, it's like Foster is stretching to fill time and the ending isn't really a surprise. Even Pixie and Dixie aren't too surprised; their head-shake watching Space Cat take a broom to the King Meece isn't as good as some of Vinci's stuff in this cartoon.<br /><br />Maybe it's just me, but the casual, everyday attitude the mice have toward space travel just doesn't seem right.<br /><br />There are some interesting music choices in <i>Missile</i> (watch Steve Carras jump in to comment). The opening "oriental" piece is, I suspect, a Sam Fox cue I can't find in my collection and I can only guess where the orchestral fanfare comes from that follows it.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-88412810799619731492010-03-07T23:27:26.860-08:002010-03-07T23:27:26.860-08:00Hi, Ryan.

And the best of the cartoons are still watchable and probably always will be. With DVDs and web sites, people can now choose when they view them, instead of like when I was a kid in the '60s and we had to wait until the next HB show aired (other than <i>The Flintstones</i>; they were on every day).<br /><br />Come back whenever you'd like.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-57051164221242251412010-03-07T07:51:33.667-08:002010-03-07T07:51:33.667-08:00Sorry for not posting to you lately, but we've...Sorry for not posting to you lately, but we've been having some family issues after the passing of a cousin of mine last week, although her birthday would've been today.<br /><br />Also, I am now no longer interested in Hanna-Barbera cartoons, mainly because I have seen them like 100 times already. I will try to post to you from time to time as I go on to different interests.<br /><br />In the meantime, I will now stop being a major poster on here, therefore I will make occasional posts on here.<br /><br />Thank you for your support, Yowp.<br /><br />And now I must move on. Maybe someday I will post to you again.
