WDW Radio # 801 - Pete Renaday, Disney voice actor (Country Bear Jamboree, 20,000 Leagues, TTA and more) - From the Archives

This week, I'm sharing a special episode from the Archives, as my interview this week comes from show # 232 back in 2011 in honor of legendary voice actor Pete Renaday, who passed away on September 8.   Pete's iconic voice brought life to unforgettable characters in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, including Henry from the Country Bear Jamboree, Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (as Captain Nemo), The Hall of Presidents (as Abraham Lincoln), the Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Walt Disney Story as narrator, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Adventure Thru Inner Space, and Mark Twain Riverboat. He was also the Ghost Host on the Haunted Mansion album (which I still have and love).   I feel fortunate to have Pete be able to share his story in his own words and iconic voice as he shares his incredible journey—from meeting Walt Disney to his work on animated films and iconic attractions. So just refrain from hibernatin’, and let’s enjoy the show, cause he’s still got a lot to give.

- Which of Pete Renaday's voices do you like or recognize most?
