So was he the one who introduced the half-hour version of The Banana Splits?
"The Banana Splits presents... The Banana Splits! *Tigger laugh*"

I just found out about him thru the banana splits. I remember his voice being for tigger, but I never knew he voiced dick dastardly & gargamel.

If Paul Winchell voiced Tigger in the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, why was he replaced in season 3 by Jim Cummings? Also, if he was replaced why did Winchell voice Tigger in the Holiday specials?

Poor health I think.

i think Winchell's voice was begining to weaken and Jim had to stand in as Tigger him when Paul was unavailable. i think eventually it became harder for winchell to come back and play the role.
like in "Winnie the pooh, search for Christopher Robin" Winchell played tigger, while in 'the Tigger movie', Jim became the official voice of Tigger.
This is also similar situation in the Gummi bears, like Winchell voiced Zummi until season 5 and retired. then Cummings had to continue the role for the rest of the series.
I think Winchell was the best at both these roles but Cummings was a worthy successor

I agree.

A very nice tribute to Paul Winchell. I know he played that Siamese in The Aristocats but I'm not sure about his name being Shou Gon, since his name was never mentioned in the movie. However, there was a comic book called "O'Malley and the Alley Cats" in which his name is Chino.
Paul was also Boomer the woodpecker in "The Fox and the Hound", and Clyde and Softy in "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop"

yeah, i know the cat's name was never mention in the movie, i get my data from behind the voice actors.com naming him shun gon but i don't know if its official.
he was a brilliant voice actor.
did you know that tim burton did animation in 'the fox and the hound'?
π: 0 β©: 1
That I didn't know. I'll have to check the credits at the beginning of the movie.

yeah, i think he had some creative differences with disney, like they didn't agree with his unique horror style.

Well Tim Burton does things that can be quite dark. Disney didn't seem to mind "Nightmare Before Christmas".

You missed Fleabag from The Oddball Couple, Clyde from Races and Moe from The Robotic Stooges

great tribute pic,April Winchell playing clips of his "Chips of Wisdom"album on her radio show then commenting on it always made me laugh everytime I heard it. "My teacher had no hands,so lets put our hooks together and pray.I don't know how he wrote on the chalkboard" LOL

I can't listen to his voice withut thinking of Tigger.
He was also Boomer the Woodpecker from "The Fox and the Hound".

Awesome! Didn't know he was the Tootsie Pop Owl!

Awesome pic, oh yeah, I'd say I'm pretty at spotting Paul Winchell's voice, he also did a couple villains in "The Impossibles" such as Aquator and the Diabolical Dauber. He really was truly awesome for all his roles, may he R.I.P. and may Jim Cummings do him proud.

paul has a legacy of so many great characters, and jim is a worthy successor...

What about the Dread Baron from "Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose", oh sure he was meant to be a lawyer friendly version of Dick Dastardly and he didn't voice him in the Laff-A-Lympics but he did voice Dread Baron in the made for TV movie.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, i just thought dick dastardly and dread baron were almost the exact same character, so i just thought of drawing just one...
but why couldnt they have dick dastardly in the 'yogi bear' special?
π: 0 β©: 1
[link] <== This will explain everything. However it has something to do with Dick Dastardly and Muttley and the other Wacky Racers being Co-owned by a game show company and in order to not pay those rights they created Dread Baron and Mumbly, yeah I was wondering that too since they did use Dick Dastardly and Muttley in "Yogi's Treasure Hunt" earlier.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh, that makes sence... didnt know that, guess when the characters belongs to 2 seperate companies you need substitutes.
kinda like disney and roger rabbit,like disney wanted to make a roger rabbit tv series but he was also co-owned by touchstone, so instead they created bonkers t.bobcat.
