Two Tigers for Thurl.



Something just occured to me.Thurl Ravenscroft was the voices of two famous tigers---not only was he the voice of Tony the Tiger and pushed the very delicious Frosted Flakes Cereal,but he was the singing voice of Shere Khan,from Disney's The Jungle Book.




Thurl passed away on Sunday, May 22, 2005 at the age of 91.So many attractions at Disneyland were graced with his voiceovers that it's easy to believe he is still with us. From the booming singing bust in the Haunted Mansion graveyard to Fritz the talking parrot in the Enchanted Tiki Room, Ravenscroft has left an indelible stamp on Disneyland and on our memories.
