The legendary voice actor has passed away at age 88. I'll always remember him as The Beaver in "Lady And The Tramp".

 

[D'Snowth]

I enjoyed THE THREE LITTLE BOPS.

"He huffed-and-puffed, and bleeped-and-blooped, then at 10:00 was completely pooped!"

The Three Little Bops
All I could find was the soundtrack of the short. Doggone it! I want the looney tunes short shown but ugh this is all I can find.

Lady and the Tramp
The Beaver scene. Oh my goodness, I love this movie and still do today.

However, the voice-work he did for the most was for Looney Tunes
A Bear for Punishment
Junyer Bear (dumbheaded bear)
This voice I hope is Stan Freberg's

However, this scene seems more recognizable for most cartoon fans.

Mouse and Garden

Rest in peace, Mr. Freberg.

I may be missing somebody, but now only two cast members of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World are left: Jerry Lewis and Carl Reiner.

Freberg should also be remembered for his commercials, which helped turn advertising from a boring, straightforward affair into something intentionally humorous, a very bold thing during the 1960s. One notable one was for Chun King Chow Mein which stated that "9 out of 10 doctors approved", and showed 9 smiling Chinese doctors with 1 frowning white doctor.

Oh, and he was the voice of Pete Puma on Looney Tunes. As well as Mo-Ron/Bo-Ron on Freakazoid.

Oh yes! The character from Rabbit Kin

John and Marsha are assuredly devastated at the news.

We should also remember the Muppet connection with Stan Freberg; the cast of Sam & Friends used to lip synch to some of Stan's recordings.

Here's one of the few surviving clips:

I was working halfway through an audio tribute to Freberg, but I don't think I'll ever finish it as soon as I want, so I'll just link a favorite of mine, of one of his many comedy records:

"I wouldn't ride something called 'High School Ooh-Ooh' if it had a vicuna saddle."

Rest easy, Stan...
