For Droopy, Don Messick did a great impersonation of Bill Thompson (who also did voices in Disney projects, likeΒ the White Rabbit fromΒ Alice in Wonderland and Mr. Smee from Peter Pan).

Frank Welker does Scooby okay, but Don Messick's Scooby voice is the one I grew up with. Β Thank you, Don. Β

60s cartoons aren't my kind of thing, except Scooby Doo, what I like is the animation errors they made. Basically all cartoons from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s all had animation error which I don't like to see.

oh, okay. thanks
i just checked. i got my data from behind the voice actors.com
it says some guy named paul frees originally voice squiddily diddily. but i guess it kinda counts.
and a while back i did a 'daws buttler tribute', i think both butler and messick did dixie at times. they are both voice acting legends

Paul Frees is also a voice acting legend.

Yes, Paul Frees could be heard just about EVERYWHERE at one time. Disney, MGM, Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward, DePatie-Freleng, etc.

Yep. But he's best known now for the annual Rankin-Bass holiday special and Haunted Mansion ("Welcome Foolish Mortals...").

Yup, and two more famous voices of his are Ludwig Von Drake and Boris Badenov!

Dear raggyrabbit94, speaking of Paul Frees voices, I really hated that jerk face Meisterburger (from Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town) and his fascist rules about "NO TOYS ALLOWED". I've once read on Wikipedia that that wicked Burgermeister character was based on both Adolf Hitler and Wilhelm II (The Kaiser). Try to compare him with the dreaded Baron Bomburst from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Oh god, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...That Child-Taker character gave me nightmares when my parents rented that movie.

Nice tribute, and thanks for including Multi Man. The Impossibles get so little credit these days. But you do know that Don Messick only did Squiddly Diddly in "Yogi's Gang," right? But hey, it still counts.

Don Messick also voiced:
Jughead in 1 episode of Filmation's The Archie Show as a temporary replacement for Howard Morris
Dr. Benton Quest on Jonny Quest
