Some of the best cartoons ever! I think Edward Everette Horton also narrates my dreams

I also didn't include any posthumous recasts... but to mention a few Keith Scott, Corey burton, and I think Frank Welker did something too.

Very nice V/A focus, Dr. Tooth. Yes, there were quite a talented bunch of voice artists in Jay Ward's series, with Bill Scott doing the main stars of the cartoons. And I heard that Frank Welker did some voicework in thoseRocky and Bullwinkle Taco Bell commericals from the 90's.

I still can't watch Rankin-Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town without thinking "hey! that's Boris Badenov!"

Paul Frees..... the dude did just so much way back when... he also voiced 2 of the Beatles in a Beatles TV cartoon (I forget which ones... I wanna say Ringo). He was also in Frosty the Snowman (If you want to talk Rakin Bass).

With the exception of Aesop and Son, he was heard in every Ward cartoon (as I mentioned earlier he was only in 3 episodes or so, he filled in for Bill Scott on one recording session that he couldn't make).

Likewise Julie Bennet... she filled in for June Foray who missed a recording session because she had work with Stan Freberg.

Also, I'd like to point out vis a Vis Super Chicken and Don Knotts.... the original 1960 unfinished pilot had him cast, along with a couple other voice actors that would never work with Jay past that point. he really wanted a different sound for this one. (which is also why Alan Reed voiced Filmore in the first 2 Hoppity Hoopers) But in the actually made 1965 pilot, you have basically the same people who wound up doing the voices, but you had Bill Conrad as the narrator. And Super Chicken's voice was based off of the comedian Jim Bacus, as an imitation of a radio character he played. Jim Bacus would later employ the same voice for the Millionaire on Gilligans Island.

But by the end, Frees was the narrator and Super Chicken's voice was based off of Don Knotts's interpretation.

Other people hired for pilot work actually included MEL BLANC. Unfortunately, that would be the only time he would have worked with Ward.

I'd also like to point out, I encluded Hawkear, Pioneer scout. It was a pilot film that actually had Daws Butler as a starring role, and not a supporting bunch of George of the Jungle villains of Fractured Fairy Tales characters.

OOPs... I forgot to add one more

Chris Allen: Hoopety Hooper, Susan Swivelhips.

Paul Frees..... the dude did just so much way back when... he also voiced 2 of the Beatles in a Beatles TV cartoon (I forget which ones... I wanna say Ringo).

He actually voiced John and George in the Beatles cartoon.

In addition to his animated work, Paul Frees also looped dialogue for many live-action films, including Spartacus, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, Woody Allen's Love and Death (he voiced Death), Atoll K (Laurel & Hardy's last film), The Ugly Dachshund and Midway, among others. He also appeared onscreen in The Thing From Another World (1951) and The Shaggy Dog (1959).

He also carried a badge in real life as an undercover narcotics agent, and helped an interested Elvis Presley receive a badge too.

And let's not forget he was the voice of The Thing in the original Fantastic Four cartoon.
