- A historically sweet moment from the Disney Legends ceremony in 1991! (Yeah, my first birthday!) ^_^
Just so you know, I was fortunate enough to save this footage before it got taken down a couple of years ago. I also added an extra surprise at the end! ;)
All footage and audio (C) Disney - Zábava
I remember the first time Sterling walked into the Baskin-Robbins I was managing in Laguna Beach. My back was turned when he ordered his ice cream from another employee. I whipped around and said "Sterling Holloway!". He was so impressed I knew who he was, he gave me his autograph and returned later with his Rolls Royce, I had admired earlier, washed and waxed & he gave me a ride home! I got a ride back to get my car because there was no way I wasn't going to get to ride home in a Rolls with Sterling Holloway! He was a nice man that was very humble about his fame & wealth. I'll never forget that meeting. Nice to see him get honored.
Awesome story!
What year did you meet him?
It was in 1980.
Okay.
That is so cool.
This exceptional man was my great uncle.
I never met you but I love you, Uncle Sterling. I hope you'd be proud of me as I try to follow in your legendary footsteps. I hope you're watching over me.
Rest easy.
He was your great uncle?! 😮
This guy and his voice is literally my childhood.
Sterling was Kaa from The Jungle Book, Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Stork from Dumbo, Adult Flower from Bambi and Winnie the Pooh too.
Sterling was also Roquefort from The Aristocats.
@@ryanbearse8831 All those, yes. I only wish the Cheshire Cat had a larger part. He (Mr Holloway) really made the cat live for me.
@@mehstgful Sterling Holloway died in late 1992.
Sterling Holloway was one of Disney’s best actors ever
I cried a little when Winnie the Pooh led Sterling up to the stage. RIP, you beautiful talented man.
This is the year before he passed away
@@pauljankowsky2735 Yes, I know.
His voice is so versatile. From the madness of the Cheshire Cat, the creepiness of Kaa, and the innocents of Pooh. It's funny is distinct voice can be applied to diverse range of characters.
Yep. Sterling died in 1992.
Was anyone else stunned that this was his natural voice? Either way, Sterling was a very talented guy, he was born for acting!
+elsa1942 It didn't surprise me that much. I thought at first that the voice was fake. But after hearing him speak with the exact same voice in multiple other movies, I thought that it might have been his actual voice.
+Indurok yeah
It is so amazing that it is his natural speaking voice!
Indeed! ^_^
It did and the actor who did pigglet was the same way
If I could time travel and give Sterling a hug, I effing well would!!
We all would!
R.I.P. Sterling Holloway. What a man!
1991? Wow!
1992.
@@kelsadilla367 1991-1992
He was a great man
1/4/1905 - 11/22/1992.
R.I.P. Sterling Holloway. He was an amazing American voice actor. Plus, he was very funny.
Cool!
“Heeee’s got a knot in his tail”
@@coordinator3039 Kaa's quote
Ryan Bearse he voiced Kaa
I actually vlogged his hometown I'm eventually going to post on my CZcams channel if anybody's interested in seeing that
Jim Cummings does a great job mimicking Sterling Holloway. Disney made the right choice having Jim Cummings do roles that were originally done by Sterling Holloway as his voice impression is spot on.
Yeah, I agree with you on that one!
Cummings really speaks him.
@@kelsadilla367 Jim Cummings
Beauty and the Beast
@@ryanbearse8831 Same dude
Sterling Holloway may be dead but he still lives in our hearts
He got honored when I was born in 1991. ^.^
Same here
He loved Pooh so much. RIP Mr. Holloway.
1992
He is truly a legend and will always be my pooh. RIP Sterlig.
He died in 1992.
R.I.P.
Sterling Holloway
(1905-1992)
I love this man so much, he has one of, if the not THE most soothing voices I've ever heard, it's just a voice that puts me at ease and just makes me want to hug him. ^_^ R.I.P. Sterling, you're forever amazing.
I loved how pooh helped him to the stage and off
I’m so glad he had the opportunity to experience this firsthand ❤️
I was born in early January 1993, almost 2 months after his death. But I've been hearing his sweet voice since my early childhood!
The Sterling silver voice from my childhood.
True.
He was mine too because I used to watch Winnie the Pooh all the time when I was little
@@twilson6197 Me too!
Someone should animate this and make it Winnie the Pooh talking to the audience
Eoin Coyne
I like that idea. In fact, that's exactly what Disney should have done the following year when Sterling Holloway died.
Oh- boy, what it would've been to meet Sterling in real life. The man created not just my childhood, however the childhood of millions of children, and those millions who have yet to be born. Was going on a nostalgia trip, I'm very bummed out he passed away. He did a tremendous job in all of his work, but my favorite has to be him as Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland, and Winnie the Pooh. He executed both so perfectly.
best voice over man that has ever lived
Redkelly Re well that then you had mel Blanc
Omg I thought this was taken off CZcams! Thank you for putting it back on, you're my hero!
You're welcome! :)
RIP Sterling Holloway. You were such an incredible voice actor and the definitive Winnie the Pooh Kaa the snake and the Cheshire Cat. You will be missed. (January 14 1905-November 22nd 1992). He was 87 years old.
Growing up in the 90's, I got to a point where I was getting sick of Jim Cummings - invariably, his voice would be recognisable as it appeared in almost every cartoon produced in the era. There was always a "Darkwing Duck" quality behind most of his voices... But taking on the role of both Pooh & Tigger have got to be his greatest roles in my opinion, as he sounds so much like the originals and the least like himself, something that must be incredibly difficult to achieve.
+Bumble Douche Hmm...
Jim Cummings is as much Pooh Bear as Sterling Holloway was IMO. Jim has pretty much taken over all of Sterling's old roles, including Pooh.
I remember him as the redhheaded cowboy.
I feel the same way about Cummings, often why he works better voicing his own original roles rather than as a soundalike, he has a very recognisable voice. Even with Tigger I instantly noticed he'd suddenly took on Peg Leg Pete's voice whenever it switched from Paul Winchell to Cummings. Pooh is the key exception, he just sounds so one of a kind compared to Cummings' other stuff. I do admit however I miss that mellow Southern drawl exclusive to Holloway's version. I guess since that was basically his natural speaking voice, it was far easier for him.
Sterling Holloway actually auditioned for the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh TV series before they decided his voice was too aged to replicate Pooh anymore (he does sound a bit hoarse here, though still recognisable). Who knows how differently Cummings' career might have went if they hadn't.
@Hyperskreem 82 Also Tress Macnelle and Kath Soucie, who amusingly both took over as Kanga at one point. XD
So cool seeing Roy Disney with the legend
A legendary voice actor, plus a fine stage actor, comedian and he had a beautiful singing voice as well. Sterling Holloway could do it all.
The original Winnie the Pooh. I don't care if he was senile here or not. It's just great to see him and Pooh together.
He was 86 years old when this happened.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 And Disney payed homage to him in their new short film: Once Upon a Studio, using old audio have him reprise Pooh, Kaa and the Cheshire Cat.
@@timrob12 was that before or after he died?
@@marvinthemaniac7698 The film released this year, so definitely after he died.
@@timrob12 I didn't know that
January 4, 2005 would have been Sterling Holloway’s 100th birthday.
Not kind of like that, Trevor Panno.
Sterling Holloway was born in Cedartown, Georgia, January 1905.
@@josephzielinski8817 Yeah, but he died in 1992.
So glad I got to see this!
@@ryanbearse8831 this happened in 1991, which means he died a year later.
Sterling holloway is my hero the voice of winnie the pooh in my childhood and I was a baby rest in peace sterling holloway i watch twilight zone at youtube he played tv repairman I hear his voice of pooh in this twilight zone episode you're my hero Mr holloway rip xxxxx
He had one of the greatest male alto voices in history! He started on Broadway as a singer and comedian...introducing someo of the most popular songs of the 20th century.
Sterling holloway's legacy at Disney as a voice actor is phenomenal other credits he's known for are Amos the mouse in Ben and Me, Nessie in the documentary Man, Monsters and Mysteries as well as being a narrator for Goliath II, Lambert the sheepish lion, the little house, Susie the little blue coupe, Pelican and the snipe and Peter and the wolf
RIP to a legend
For the longest time I never knew that was his real voice! So sweet and so gentle! And who gave the real voice of Winnie the Pooh
My God, he was shot, I saw some old black and white films from the 40's and he was really normal looking. Here he resembles a senile over medicated grandma. He will always be my favorite voice and tv personality. I still miss that voice. John fiedler was another voice that can't be duplicated.
You can add Percy Helton to that list (he was in "Kiss Me Deadly" among his many films)
Omg he was shot?? Damn. I feel so bad for him. Who did it to him??
Hope the shooter is either dead or in prison.
@@JenniferPoole.33272 No, he didn't get shot! He passed away of cardiac arrest! You're thinking of false rumors!
And no, he was never in Kiss Me Deadly (1955), you dopes!
@@erindurkin4441 Oh. I’m sorry, I didn’t know, sir or ma’am.
He literally sounded JUST like Winnie the Pooh
And Kaa.
@@coordinator3039 And The Cheshire Cat
That's because he was born with Pooh's voice.
Sterling Holloway IS Winnie The Pooh.
He was
And Kaa
Sterling Holloway died in 1992 from cardiac arrest. Thank you Sterling for making my childhood of watching winnie the pooh extraordinary.
This is awesome! Jim Cummings is wonderful but Sterling Holloway is, in my mind, THE Winnie The Pooh.
Kelly02895 You said it! :)
I second that notion!
I like Jim Cummings.... But Holloway IS INDEED WINNIE THE FUCKIN' SHIT!
+connors piano haha that made me laugh more than it should of! Couldn't agree more though ;)
Wasn't Tigger originally Paul Winchell?
Pooh escorting him to and back is sweet
What a gentleman
Bex is the word I quite agree. Sterling Holloway is way better than Jim Cummings.
Yeah, he sure is!
He was a great gentleman
I've seen Dumbo and Alice In Wonderland the most out of those movies mentioned there. I know very well what every character in those movies sounds like. I saw Ben And Me on an old Wonderful World Of Disney episode from the 1950s just last week before the 4th of July, too.
There he is. Mr. Walt Disney and Mr. Sterling Holloway.
That’s Roy O. Disney with Holloway
3:21 Roy O. was his father. He was Roy E. He looked more liked uncle,however.
@@nickcornacchia4718
R.I.P Sterling Holloway😢
That is so cool!
R.I.P.
Winnie The Pooh was just on Disney Jr. and I watched it. I haven't seen it in a long time and I watched it because I don't know if I'll ever see it again. I'm glad I saw it when it was on.
I'm loving it when I went to see Christopher Robin, with a familiar voice.
wow now who else has a voice like that?
Jim Cummings.
@@kelsadilla367 But it isn't natural 😉
@@f0rbidden_cheeto Jim Cummings?
And Brian Hull, a voice impressionist. Voice impressions too many characters.
STERLING HOLLOWAY
1905-1992
Such a darling treasure.
RIP Sterling Holloway We Will Never Forget You If Flower From Bambi Was Here Today He Will Be Voiced By Jeff Bennett I Hope You Went To Heaven He Will Always Be The Voice Of Winnie The Pooh & Flower. 😢😊❤
To this day Jim Cummings has done a good job as Pooh Bear but I’d have loved it more if Sterling was really in Christopher Robin as Pooh Bear.
Yeah he sure did!
He was a legendary man
He has been carrying on his legacy for such a long time.
True legend!
I consider Sterling Holloway another good choice to play the role of Randolph Duke in the 1983 comedy film Trading Place. Randolph Duke was played by Ralph Bellamy.
Look everyone... this is when disney was great.
Congratulations Sterling Holloway 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🍯
I wish he had been able to do more work in front of the camera. I remember him in the Adventures of Superman with George Reeves, a brief appearance in Meet John Doe and various TV shows of the 60s.
Wish Sterling Holloway came back to reprise his role as Winnie the Pooh this time in the 1988 TV series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh by alternating with Jim Cummings before he died
He was also was Kaa in original jungle book
Liked him as a fireman in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".
Who agrees with me that Sterling Holloway would have been another good choice to play Randolph Duke in Trading Places besides Ralph Bellamy?
2:45 tribute.
The only thing he has in common with Ms. Julie Andrews is they both starred in movies that featured songs written by the Sherman Brothers.
He died of Cardiac Arrest.
Matt Bruns R.I.P. Sterling Holloway. He was an awesome American voice actor. Plus, he was very funny.
He didn't look very well in his last public appearance.
Disney OG.....true legend.
Jim Cummings replaced Sterling Holloway as the voice of Winnie the Pooh in 1988.
2:15 Ooooooh! LOL!
nice
I wish met him!
I hate that Pat Buttram wasn't recognized as a Disney Legend
He should have
A year before he passed away, too.
I know.
He died a happy man. Got an award for his work, and became a legend
Yes, that is very true!
So sad
Watches Bambi; Sister once had a reticulated python. The only time seen a blue coupe was on a video of a car accident, except it was in a challenge to drive high speed cars fast and making the turns.
He also did the narration of Peter and the wolf
He passed away the following year.
Before he died
I wish Jim Cummings met Sterling Holloway. :(
czcams.com/video/0O1arBDCXGY/video.html
I know because if he did, he would’ve taught Jim how to sound like Pooh by alternating with him for The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. After the New Eeyore episode, Sterling Holloway would’ve passed the Pooh torch and the voice to Jim Cummings and said Jim I want you to take care of my little friend for me.
this happened before his death in 1992
Obviously.
Matthew's Random stuff Holloway died November 22, 1992 (exactly 13 months after this ceremony).
Yup! Sterling Holloway died in 1992. Your right MooPotPie and Matthew's Random stuff. And Colin McCann you too. You are right!
Are you sure?
@@VigilanteVegan go look it up
He also appeared episode of andy griffith show
Happy Windsday to the Winnie the Pooh franchise
Jim Cummings is a stunning voice actor. I can’t believe how much he sounds like sterling.
The year he died, my brother was born.
By now..Sterling is no longer wearing eyeglasses as a prop..he really need them to see and he had to use a cane to walk.
Why are the lenses orange?
RIP Sterling Holloway
January 4, 1905 - November 22, 1992
32099 days, cardiac arrest
Poor sterling he’s looking much sick then I thought
We thought that he died in 1994!
before sterling holloway died on november 22, 1992
He would pass away only a year later sadly.
Why is that sad? His time was clearly up.
Sterling was the voice of Winnie the Pooh the chesriecat from Alice in wonderland Kaa from the jungle book and mr stork from dumbo.
1905-1992
That's Roy E. Disney presenting him with the award, BTW
I know.
@@Rkerekes13 Roy managed to age pretty well. He was about 62 when this was filmed
Sterling looks like my Uncle Mark
1992
We’re all mad here
The only thing that is was the similar voice to bea arthur from the golden girls
Old version of him
😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Yeah I couldn't believe he had a voice that sounded a little like a woman's voice or just a sonar voice. Is his son 'Richard' still around?
what does "sonar" mean in this context?
What channel did this air on back in 1991?
Matthew Smollen This is unreleased studio footage I believe.
Rkerekes13 Okay.
Rkerekes13 Does that mean it didn't air on television?
Matthew Smollen Not exactly sure.
Rkerekes13 Okay.
