mreye Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 He also sang the Grinch song. "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch..." RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 RIP Thurl. Thurl did so many great voice characterizations. Half the voices at the Disney theme parks are him, and lots of animated characters as well. The sad thing is he didn't even get credit for his singing part in Grinch until a relreleased version just a few years ago. Boris Karloff was given entire narrative credit, and the song vocalist was left uncredited so the assumption by many was that it was also Karloff.

That's why the credits weren't 15 minutes long like they are now. They didn't give credit for every little thing like the star's massage therapist, etc. look at the credits for "It's a Wonderful Life" - probably less than 30 seconds. A lot of eople got jipped in the movie and more than likely the pocketbook as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
