Meghan CunninghamHOST
Daws Butler is Raggedy Andy, Stephen Rosenberg voices Ralph, and Les Tremayne provides the voice of the pumpkin.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
June Foray and Daws Butler in particular are practically a miniature history of American cartoon voices between them.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
Even if you didn't know their names as a child, chances are you knew those voices from some other cartoon.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
Uh, and then the story begins with what is essentially a Halloween emergency.

He had a reason to get up in the morning and all of them did.
Andrea RomanoGUEST
Dawes Butler, the fabulous Dawes Butler, who played Elroy on the series, worked with Penny Singleton, who was Jane Jetson, to help her not have mouth clicks because now she had a full set of dentures.
Andrea RomanoGUEST
And Dawes was a teacher and he taught her how to.
Andrea RomanoGUEST
I love doing that.

Andrea RomanoGUEST
Did you
Susan EisenbergHOST
watch them as a kid?
Andrea RomanoGUEST
As a matter of fact, when I first became the cast director in Hanna-Barbera and I met Dawes Butler, I shook his hand.
Andrea RomanoGUEST
And Dawes was no taller than I am, a tiny little man filled with talent.
Price RobertsonHOST
His ability to produce a vast array of sound effects and distinct character voices made him a sought-after talent in Los Angeles radio, eventually catching the attention of cartoon pioneers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in the late 1950s.
Price RobertsonHOST
Alongside fellow mainstay Dawes Butler, whom he shared voice duties with on The Rough and Ready Show, Hanna-Barbera's very first TV series, Don Messick established signature vocal traits such as the R-infused speech patterns of Scooby-Doo and Astro.
Price RobertsonHOST
Other Hanna-Barbera characters who Messick voiced include Bam Bam Rubble, Papa Smurf, Scrappy-Doo, Drooper, and Midgie Mouse.
Price RobertsonHOST
Beyond animation, Messick's voice graced countless commercials, educational films, network promos, and video games.

Eric BauzaGUEST
Uh, yeah, I, I can't, I can't recall right now, but if you go back, there's like...
Eric BauzaGUEST
And, and Daws Butler kinda did like a Dro- I think he was Drooper, you know? It, it was almost like a Huckleberry Hound kinda voice.
Eric BauzaGUEST
And I just learned them the day before 'cause we were like, "We need to make... [laughs] We need to release this, uh, straight to DVD." [laughs]
Joe VulpisHOST

Michael FrithGUEST
That's Stan Freeburg and Dawes Butler, the puppet show.
Michael FrithGUEST
Not the animation, but the puppets.
Whitney GraceHOST
Did you ever see the puppet show?
Todd LiebenowHOST
Freberg would often work with other folks that did animation voices.
Todd LiebenowHOST
So if you listen to some of his various albums, you find the likes of Daws Butler, June Foray, Peter Leeds, folks like that, that are doing some of the great voices in there that just complement what Freberg himself is doing.
Todd LiebenowHOST
Uh, but he really did have an amazing career as a satirist, and, uh, I just, I love digging into his old records.
Todd LiebenowHOST
Just yesterday, uh, it was one of my work at home days, and so I have a little bit more freedom with what I can put on in the background.
