      @@SrMechaGojira93 I think you've got Ringo right, but I always thought the tall one at the right was John - the sardonic loner of the bunch. Redhead is the most positive and energetic one, probably would be Paul, and Blondie is George just by process of elimination.

    The casting of the vultures still brought a British Invasion musician, Chad Stuart of the duo Chad & Jeremy.[7] In earlier drafts of the scene the vultures had a near-sighted Rhinoceros friend named Rocky, who was to be voiced by Frank Fontaine, however Walt decided to cut the character for feeling that the film had already much action with the monkeys and vultures.[20].

    The voice of 'Flaps' is Chad of the British folk-rock group Chad & Jeremy. And the 'What d'ya wanna do?' dialogue is based on the same patter from 'Marty' (the film that won Ernest Borgnine an Academy Award) when Marty and his loser friends keep that question going throughout the movie. Marty's the leader of his loser gang and they constantly ask 'What d'ya feel like doing, Marty?" "I dunno. What d'ya feel like doing?"

    AAAAH! I SO wish that the beatles did the song insted of that barbershop thing. It would have been the last piece to make this already timeless film into the greatest animated work EVER!

      So many people probably screaming and cheering if The Beatles played the Vultures. I bet if this movie was out, many people would be fighting over a ticket to see it in the movie theaters.

    Actually, the Beatles were meant to do the voices of the vultures (not the song). But, as you say, the pulled out at the last minute.

    If you mean, "are the Vultures based on the Beatles", then yes.

    Dizzy (tall, black haired Vulture) is voiced by Lord Tim Hudson.
    John Lennon would have voiced him had he not rejected Walt's offer for the band to star in an animated Disney film.

      yeah; I think Lord Tim was doing an impression of George Harrison. He kinda sounded like him there

      John Lennon even told his manager, Brian Epstein, that he should have gone back to Disney studios and tell Walt Disney to hire Elvis Presley instead to voice the Vultures since he was making movies before his '68 comeback show. Imagine if the Vultures were voiced by Elvis instead.

    Even with the Beatles theme, for some reason J. Pat O'Malley chose to do HIS vulture with a cockney accent instead of a Liverpool one - which is just plain bizarre, because he was from Lancashire, a scouse accent should have been a natural for him.
