@WeirdAl45231: BUT the Mansion is SUPPOSED TO BE cursed FOREVER. That's the whole point of the attraction, since it was meant as a haven for all restless spirits. Taking the Mme. Leota (yet leaving daughter, Little Leota, what a crock) & Busts out of the Mansion RUINS it. Same goes for making the film CAMPY, when the Mansion is supposed be funny yet SCARY, as per the divergent story ideas about the Mansion following Walt's own death.
@FuryGuts: They do. Though Thurl & others are the originals in the actual attraction, the movie versions were done by quartet, the Dapper Dans, who DO do albums.
@TB4000 Nope. That's actually supposed to be Thurl Ravenscroft. He was part of The Mellomen, who were a babershop quartet that frequently performed at Disneyland. He also did voices for a number of Disney characters, shorts and rides, and appears as one of the singing busts in the Haunted Mansion ride. However, he's most famous for being the original voice of Tony the Tiger.
Busts or not, these four have a great blend and harmony which is the most important part. at the beginning of grim grinning ghosts, i like the creativity of the acapella when they all started to singing the beat it gave it kind of that "human touch" so to speak
On the Haunted Mansion ride, the busts were performed by Thurl Ravenscroft as Uncle Teodore (bass soloist), Jay Meyer as Ned Nub, Verne Rowe as Rollo Rumkin, Bob Ebright as Phineas Pock, and Chuck Schroeder as Cousin Al.
In The Haunted Mansion film, the busts were performed by The Dapper Dans, who perform on Main Street, U.S.A in Disneyland on occasion. In this film, the Dapper Dans consisted of Shelby Grimm, Harry J. Campbell, William T. Lewis, Tim Reeder, and Bob Hartley.
The Good News: I believe you, and thank you for telling me what voice each head sings.
The Bad News: No one has yet matched up the heads to the Dapper Dans names that I posted. Of those Dapper Dans members, do we know what part each man sings? (Shelby Grimm, Harry J. Campbell, William T. Lewis, Tim Reeder, and Bob Hartley.) And if there's four busts in the film, why were five men credited on IMDb?
One of the busts is Thurl Ravenscroft,who is also a bust in the ride;another is Paul Frees,the voice of the Ghost Host.
Originally,the other two were to be Marc Davis,one of HM's original designers,and Blaine Gibson,contributing sculptor to HM,as well as many Disney attractions.
@thedragoonknight I didn't know that!! Sounds awesome. If they ever would make another HM movie, I think they should base the story on the Phantom Manor one. I'm glad I live in Europe so I could ride that attraction. It's scarier than the ones in America in my opinion.
Pirates had some scary moments and it wasnen't over the top. Had Pirates not come out, I think HM would have had a better chance. But POTC did so well anything coming afterwards based on a ride would be immeadiatley scrutinized.
i absolutlely loved this movie, why do a lot of people think it sucks? i'm not trying to be rude, I just want the opinion of someone who doesnt like the movie
I know this is REALLY silly, but I LOVE the Dapper Dans! And when I saw the movie yesterday (i've seen it before, but I hadn't seen it in a while) I saw the credits at the end of the movie and it said that the singing statues were the Dapper Dans! I LITTERALLY screamed in excitment! lol
to all you people who don't know those were the actual barbershop quartet from disneyland now what i don't know is if they are the one from main street usa or from new orleans square
The busts and the other ghosts (sans leota, gracey and the two servants...bah!) were the only good thing about this movie, aside from the score and the set design. The rest of it can go to hell, though. ^_~
:SPOILER ALERT:
I still can't believe they actually took them back home with them
