Dallas Raymond "Dal" McKennon was an American actor with extensive work as a voice actor in a career that lasted for over 50 years. He was most famous for his role as the voice of Gumby in Art Clokey's stop-motion clay animation series franchise of the same name. He was also well-known for portraying the Crooked Man in the 1987 children's musical video Wee Sing: King Cole's Party, as well as voicing Wally Walrus in the Woody Woodpecker series and for being the original voice of Tony the Tiger in the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes commercials.
McKennon performed many character voices for Disney. His distinctive voice can be heard in films, such as Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, The MazPots, Magic Me Alive, and the record album Donald Duck and His Friends.
He also did numerous voices for several Disney park attractions, such as the famous Big Thunder Mountain Railroad safety spiel ("Hang onto them hats an' glasses, cuz this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!"), the laughing hyenas in It's a Small World (recycled from the crazy laugh of the Hyena in Lady and the Tramp and later reused in the 1979 horror film Tourist Trap, Jon Favreau's 2003 Christmas comedy film Elf, and as the original voice of Ripper Roo in the Crash Bandicoot video game franchise), Benjamin Franklin in Epcot's The American Adventure, and Zeke in Country Bear Jamboree.
Additionally, he played Charlie Cooney in the 1978 live-action film The Cat from Outer Space, as well as appeared on various Disneyland LPs.
He died five days before his 90th birthday.
