Much like Daws Butler and Paul Winchell, Don Messick was one of the premiere Hanana Barbera voice actors. And of course, he always will be the best voice of Scooby-Doo.
His Scooby voice was my favorite! Nobody else can do it like him. Also enjoyed his Scrappy, Papa Smurf, Ranger, Boo-Boo, Muttley, The Hobbit voices, wow so many! :O Also saw him on Duck Factory, a rare live action role for him and he was pretty funny! :D
I saw a few Duck Factory shows. It was about a cartoon company making a cartoon called Dippy Duck.Messick was the only voice-actor in the group and he used a different voice in ever scene he was in.
The problem was, at the time he could do Scooby's voice effectively, he was a heavy smoker. When he gave up smoking a year or so before his death, while speaking at a charity event he'd attended in London, out of all the famous cartoon character voices he performed there, he did not do Scooby-Doo's; he claimed that being a non-smoker had robbed him of the raspy vocal quality he needed for the voice of Scooby.
Don Messick was the voices of Hanna Barbera’s greatest cartoon Characters. Brilliant!!! Didn’t realize he did duck tales nor did I realized he did tiny toons and freakazoid
Beautiful, sad how the story ended for Don but will forever be remembered fondly by Scooby fans alongside the late Casey Kasem and another man of many voices, the last original Scooby Doo cast member still going, Frank Welker.
@@adamholland-gresock3522 I'm unsure as sources have changed but pretty sure he broke down at a recording session, possibly a stroke?, and was simply like 'yeah, I can't do this no more'. He died within a year of another stroke.
Fun Fact: Scooby's dialogue was based on that of Astro, who Don also voiced. Don and fellow voice actor Paul Winchell first worked together in Wacky Races and the spin-off Dastardly and Muttley In Their Flying Machines as the titular characters. In fact, it was the only series to have two male voice actors. They also voiced Zilly, Klunk, Yankee Doodle Pidgeon and the General, respectively. For those of you who watched Laff-A-Lympics and wondered what the deal is with Muttley's lookalike Mumbly, like I had, he debuted in The Mumbly Show, an obscure Hanna Barbara series where he is a detective. Why he became a villain in Laff-A-Lympics is anybody's guess. Don and Paul worked together again in The Smurfs for the entire series.
Soon after Paul Winchell left Hanna-Barbera, Disney hired him to voice Tigger in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh alongside Jim Cummings (as Winnie the Pooh)
Mumbly was originally part of The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show. (And the previous season it was just The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show.) But then both shows got cut up for syndication because at the time MGM still owned Tom and Jerry. Now Warner Brothers owns the MGM cartoon characters and most of the Hanna-Barbera characters, so both shows could be put back together for DVD release. According to a post on The Big Cartoon Forum, there's a Laff-A-Lympics episode in which Muttley and Mumbly are together. "They high five each other, both of them snickering away. Later it's revealed that they're brothers."
Thank you for mentioning all the Rankin Bass movies he worked in! I though he was also one of the 4 hobbits? Never has a voice actor been so well remembered for speaking so little. Ryeah! Scooby Dooby Doo! I still want to See Paul Freese!! Please!!!
6:51 Droopy voiced by Don Messick from 1949-1950 & 1956 for MGM Cartoon shorts, and early 90s to 1993 for Tom and Jerry Kids, Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) and Droopy, Master Detective series.
I just remembered. Don also voiced Officer Growler and Mr. Hoofnagel. Also So-So the Monkey (Peter Potamus's friend), Gloop and Gleep from The Herculoids, the winged camel from Shazzan and Scooby (the seal) from Moby Dick in Moby Dick and The Mighty Mightor.
Many,many years ago I corresponded with Don Messick. He wrote back to me and gave me an autographed picture which I keep in the back of my Hanna-Barbera book.
Some of the voices Dal McKennon has done: Gumby Howdy Doody Archie, Mr. Weatherbee, and Hot Dog in the Filmation "Archie" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" cartoons Woody Woodpeckers's adversary Buzz Buzzard starting in the early 1950's, after the original voice of Buzz Buzzard, Lionel Stander, was blacklisted. Woody Woodpecker's adversary Dooley One of Woody Woodpecker's lesser-known adversaries, Professor Dingledong ("Oh, Hello der!") Paw in Walter Lantz's short lived (four cartoons) "Maw and Paw" series The Walter Lantz character Inspector Willoughby Ranger Willoughby in Walter Lantz's "Fatso Bear" series ALL of the voices in the classic Chilly Willy cartoon "The Legend of Rockabye Point" (directed by Tex Avery) One of the dogs at the dog pound in Lady and the Tramp Voicework for Disney theme park attractions (And that's just cartoon voicework. Dal McKennon also appeared in a lot of Western TV series.) P.S.I'd also recommend watching the Woody Woodpecker cartoon "Woodpecker From Mars" if you can find it elsewhere online. (It's not on UA-cam.) The "Captain Zoom" character is a caricature of Dal McKennon, based on a character he played on a local kids TV show, "Captain Jet". Plus I think he's voicing ALL of the supporting characters in this cartoon. (Of course Walter Lantz's wife Gracie is doing Woody's voice.)
I completely forgot about the Sam Singer episodes of Sinbad Jr., in which Dal McKennon voiced Sinbad Jr. and his parrot Salty. (But only the Sam Singer episodes. The Hanna-Barbera version, which was retitled Sinbad Jr. and His Magic Belt, used whoever did the voice of Jonny Quest as the voice of Sinbad Jr. and the great Mel Blanc as the voice of Salty the parrot.)
Frank Welker is an amazing and multi-faceted voice actor, but let's be honest, his Scooby Doo voice just can't measure up to Don Messick's. There's a certain unusual squeakiness to Frank's Scooby voice that Don's never had, which makes Scooby sound less dog-like and far more cartoonish (not in a good way).
My favorite Don Messick voice wasn't even on TV... It was on vinyl record for Newark, New Jersey's Peter Pan Records label, as "Irwin the Disco Duck." (Pretty much the same voice he would later use for Scrappy Doo.) It was in tribute to DJ Rick Dees for his "Disco Duck" hit single.
Scooby Doo and Captain Caveman were my two fav cartoons growing up by Don Messick and Mel Blanc. Sadly missed and cannot be replaced. Casey Kaseem just the same voicing Shaggy (Norville Rogers) RIP to 3 voice-over animated legends - Casey, Don & Mel 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Frank Welker and Jim Cummings aren't exactly pushovers, when it comes to following Don Messick and Mel Blanc as Scooby-Doo and Captain Caveman, respectively!!!
Messick was actually pretty damn good as Scarecrow in Super Friends. He did a good job of sounding eerie and creepy, which is very much in the spirit of the character
Don Messick could've had more time on The Superfriends, in addition to his long run as Scooby-Doo. BTW, Don worked with other greats in animation voice-overs, including Robert McFadden, William Conrad, Hans Conried, Harry Morgan, etc.!!!
@@CuriousUserX90 Both were voiced by Billy Gilbert. Billy Bietcher was Pete, and the Big Bad Wolf at Disney. He also did a few shorts for Warner Brothers. Most notably the Father Bear in Chuck Jones' version of the Three Bears. Plus Spike (the Tom and Jerry version) originally at MGM along with The Captain from the Captiain and Kids shorts also from MGM.
Great stuff loved seeing my childhood flash before my eyes LoL I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada I'm 47 years old and still love the old cartoons LoL
I didn't even know there was a show called "Pound Puppies." I only remember the commercials for the "Pound Puppies" toys, and I don't know if they came out before or after the series debuted.
I was at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara circa 1982 working on projects for my film/A-V classes... we got a handout listing local voice actors and I randomly picked out Don's name off the list. In short, I got to work with him several times... my jaw dropped when I visited his at home studio in Montecito and saw all the iconic cartoon cells framed on the wall lol. He laughed. Don Messick was most kind, gracious and an absolute joy to work with. #grateful
I love watching these, seeing people change their voices from one thing to something completely different is awesome. I’ve done it for a while just haven’t been famous at all lol.
Hey! You forgot about the Autobot Ratchet, and one of the Constructicons from "Transformers." And let's not forget about Gears. Who can forget that gruff old member from the Autobots.
You forgot the MGM cartoons like The House of Tomorrow (1949), Wags To Riches (1949), The Chump Champ (1950) and Millionaire Droopy (1956) because I didn't know he voice those old cartoons that's why I want to find it and listen when he's there and that's why the reason Wikipedia told me about it and also you forgot Dr. Seuss: Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You? Don Mussick in here as Humboldt yeah you forgot about that one because is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss special because I just loved its it's kind of like a Romemite story for a children's book author.
you forgot to include his Transformers voice roles, Ratchet, Gears, Scavenger, anyway, Daws Butler and Don Messick were definetley the main go 2 guys for Hanna-Barbera
8:18 Ah Scrappy-Doo, he hasn’t been since for years. Shame his comeback in the live action Scooby Doo Film (which was his first appearance since 1988) ruined people’s childhoods, he turned out to be the main villain and mastermind the Spooky Island Mystery as revenge for being removed from Mystery Inc, he even was shown to have a bigger, stronger and monstrous (reptilian too might I add) alter ego known as Scrappy Rex. Personally I was ok with the live action Scooby Doo films and the other live action films based off Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, hope they can do more in the future (The Jetsons for instance). We can only hope though that if Scrappy does appear in the upcoming fully CGI Reboot of the Scooby-Doo Live Action films that he’ll still be on Mystery Inc’s Side, and that we won’t be seeing what his alter ego Scrappy Rex looks like in fully Animated form (he’s no bigger then a building not to worry as Scrappy Rex fits into an underground cave as shown with his live action form in his only appearance).
In the early years of Cartoon Network, they occasionally showed brief segments featuring older Hanna-Barbera characters as filler during commercial breaks. In one of them, Scrappy Doo is working as a nightclub bouncer. He's bitter about being "the most hated cartoon character of all time". ("The mysteries were better after I came along!") Whoever was doing his voice was actually closer to the original Lennie Weinrib voice, which Don Messick called "his Jerry Lewis/mean little kid voice".
That "Don Coyote" clip reminds me of an article I read in "TV Guide" many years ago. It was about incredibly dumb answers that contestants give on quiz shows. On one such program (I don't remember which one), a contestant was asked to finish the title of a classic novel written by Miguel Cervantes. The clue was "Don ____," but instead of giving the correct answer, "Don Quixote," the contestant replied "Don Coyote." That creepy butler in the clip from "The Flintstones Meet Count Rockula And Frankenstone" sounded like Peter Lorre. I saw "Charlotte's Web" a long time ago, but I never knew that the voice of Geoffrey the little gosling was the same voice as a lot of those Hanna-Barbera characters I used to watch on TV when I was a kid.
I’m still waiting for the first anime voice actor to be showcased Like Yuri Lowenthal Tara platt Matthew Mercer Kate Higgins Jason Griffith Erin Fitzgerald Travis willingham Laura Bailey Johnny yong Bosch Stephanie sheh Joshua Seth Michelle ruff Or any other anime English voice actors you can pick
In The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, whenever they play a short cartoon Don Messick also voiced one of the Three Musketeers. Don also voiced Yabba Doo, Scooby's younger brother who has a Western accent.
Don Messick is to Hanna Barbera as Mel Blanc is to Warner Bros. And his Scooby-Doo voice is easily his best.
Oh really?
Mel Blanc also appeared in Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats (1984) which was a production of Cookie Jar Entertainment

Don Messick one of the many voices from my childhood... but it seems my entire child hood was voiced by at most 7 people.
He was one of the greats.
My favorite voice actor when I was young and still in my top 5 of all time.
R.I.P. Don Messick, the original voice of Scooby Doo.
Scooby Doo; Muttley & Papa Smurf were the best voice characters in Cartoon Network...
Those were Hanna-Barbera characters and Papa Smurf is originally a comic book character.
What about Dr Benton Quest?
No one can voice Scooby like Don had.
I just remembered. Don also voiced Officer Growler and Mr. Hoofnagel. Also So-So the Monkey (Peter Potamus's friend), Gloop and Gleep from The Herculoids, the winged camel from Shazzan and Scooby (the seal) from Moby Dick in Moby Dick and The Mighty Mightor.
And Tadpole in Spunky and tadpole (and villains and other humans) just before replacement of Edward Janis
And another Don Messick voice that got left out was Arnold the newspaper boy on The Flintstones.

Woody Woodpeckers's adversary Buzz Buzzard starting in the early 1950's, after the original voice of Buzz Buzzard, Lionel Stander, was blacklisted.
Woody Woodpecker's adversary Dooley
One of Woody Woodpecker's lesser-known adversaries, Professor Dingledong ("Oh, Hello der!")
Paw in Walter Lantz's short lived (four cartoons) "Maw and Paw" series
The Walter Lantz character Inspector Willoughby
Ranger Willoughby in Walter Lantz's "Fatso Bear" series
ALL of the voices in the classic Chilly Willy cartoon "The Legend of Rockabye Point" (directed by Tex Avery)
One of the dogs at the dog pound in Lady and the Tramp

What about Frank Welker?
A very interesting list but you forgot one Role he did G1 Transformers Ratchet
I always liked how G1 Transformers had voice actors in the same talent pool as Scooby-Doo.
You know what's funny? Don Messik was the voice of both scooby doo and gargamel's cat. And now, today, they're both voiced by Frank Welker
How about Dan Castellaneta or John DiMaggio?
Frank Welker is an amazing and multi-faceted voice actor, but let's be honest, his Scooby Doo voice just can't measure up to Don Messick's. There's a certain unusual squeakiness to Frank's Scooby voice that Don's never had, which makes Scooby sound less dog-like and far more cartoonish (not in a good way).
It might be because Frank doesn't smoke. You need the habit to do a really good Scooby voice.

you forgot to include his Transformers voice roles, Ratchet, Gears, Scavenger, anyway, Daws Butler and Don Messick were definetley the main go 2 guys for Hanna-Barbera
Yep
8:18 Ah Scrappy-Doo, he hasn’t been since for years. Shame his comeback in the live action Scooby Doo Film (which was his first appearance since 1988) ruined people’s childhoods, he turned out to be the main villain and mastermind the Spooky Island Mystery as revenge for being removed from Mystery Inc, he even was shown to have a bigger, stronger and monstrous (reptilian too might I add) alter ego known as Scrappy Rex. Personally I was ok with the live action Scooby Doo films and the other live action films based off Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, hope they can do more in the future (The Jetsons for instance). We can only hope though that if Scrappy does appear in the upcoming fully CGI Reboot of the Scooby-Doo Live Action films that he’ll still be on Mystery Inc’s Side, and that we won’t be seeing what his alter ego Scrappy Rex looks like in fully Animated form (he’s no bigger then a building not to worry as Scrappy Rex fits into an underground cave as shown with his live action form in his only appearance).
In the early years of Cartoon Network, they occasionally showed brief segments featuring older Hanna-Barbera characters as filler during commercial breaks. In one of them, Scrappy Doo is working as a nightclub bouncer. He's bitter about being "the most hated cartoon character of all time". ("The mysteries were better after I came along!") Whoever was doing his voice was actually closer to the original Lennie Weinrib voice, which Don Messick called "his Jerry Lewis/mean little kid voice".
LEGEND! MY CHILDHOOD HERO.
That "Don Coyote" clip reminds me of an article I read in "TV Guide" many years ago. It was about incredibly dumb answers that contestants give on quiz shows. On one such program (I don't remember which one), a contestant was asked to finish the title of a classic novel written by Miguel Cervantes. The clue was "Don ____," but instead of giving the correct answer, "Don Quixote," the contestant replied "Don Coyote."
That creepy butler in the clip from "The Flintstones Meet Count Rockula And Frankenstone" sounded like Peter Lorre.
I saw "Charlotte's Web" a long time ago, but I never knew that the voice of Geoffrey the little gosling was the same voice as a lot of those Hanna-Barbera characters I used to watch on TV when I was a kid.
"Hello all you happy people." - Droopy :)
So many classic voices. Don was Mr. Hanna-Barbera in a way.
That part is true, just as Robert McFadden at Rankin-Bass or Mel Blanc at Warner Brothers!!!!
I’m still waiting for the first anime voice actor to be showcased
Like Yuri Lowenthal
Tara platt
Matthew Mercer
Kate Higgins
Jason Griffith
Erin Fitzgerald
Travis willingham
Laura Bailey
Johnny yong Bosch
Stephanie sheh
Joshua Seth
Michelle ruff
Or any other anime English voice actors you can pick
So many cartoons listed that I never watched but STILL want to and I'm fort....I'm old.
You left out the Chicken Man from The Funky Phantom.
Howard Morris voiced Atom Ant until he was fired, then Don Messick took over. Unfortunately the Atom Ant clip you have at 9:21 is Morris, not Messick.
One of the best. Up there with Frank Welker and Mel Blanc in my opinion
Don Messick as Good Voice of Hanna Barbera's greatest cartoon Scooby Doo and Yogi Bear show
I think the cat from The Last Unicorn was Paul Frees
Yeah, and I actually asked him to do "The Many Voices of Paul Frees" a long time ago.
Don Messick and Paul Frees did plenty of Rankin-Bass movies in the 1970's and early 1980's!!!
I think you accidently forgot So-so from Peter Potamus.
In The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, whenever they play a short cartoon Don Messick also voiced one of the Three Musketeers. Don also voiced Yabba Doo, Scooby's younger brother who has a Western accent.
Actually, Frank Welker voiced Yabba-Doo in 1982!!!
Such an iconic voice for many childhood generations!
