Remembering the lovely Pat Carroll, voice of Ursula: "Shed no sad tears...I've had a ball"

[@92JazzQueen]

This is why you choose voice actors who can bring characters to life and not just because of star power.

[@miniwolfsbane2407]

This. My favorite actor is Taylor Kitsch and he's a great human being, but the one time he did a voice for an animated character, the movie was crap and his voice didn't fit the character. (the movie was Bling.) I read something, and I can't remember the exact quote, about how you get a feeling when a voice doesn't fit a characters look and it doesn't FEEL right. There's a word for it, but I can't recall it. Anyway, Ms. Carolls voice fit Ursula and she was amazing. Too many movies cast for star talent. Sometimes it flies, and other times it falls, but we need to go back to it flying again and cast real talent instead of names.

[@psgamer-0199]

Absolutely true. Bringing characters to life is why I love classic Disney movies' voice acting. These actors knew what they were doing. They felt what they were doing and I love them for it.

[@alpostrado18yahoo]

Agree!

[@saturn2fire]

@@miniwolfsbane2407 Character Chemistry... im not sure if this is the correct term or the term you're looking for :D

[@thecat-alyst2716]

Agreed. Notice how in the 90's we saw names in cartoons like Pat Carroll, Rene Auberjenois, Michael Bell and Frank Welker. Now, they try to cast people like Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato all because they are stars. Now is this to say that some stars can't be voice actors? no, I'm not saying that a tall. I thin Nicki Minaj could be perfect for a crazy old cat lady, in fact I challeng eyou to find a better crazy old cat lady voice for a modern show than what Nicki could do. Why nobody casts her as such, IDK. But yeah, why is it in the 90's we see people like Rene Auberjenois, Pat Carroll, Michael Bell, Tress MacNeille and Susan Blue, in the 2000's we hear people like Candi Milo, Tom Kenny, Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong and Jeff Bennett, yet now adays there has to be at least 5 current celeb stars in cartoons or else the studio won't let it go forward?

"My desire before I kick the bucket was to do a Disney film." And she is now one of the most iconic Disney villains. And always will be. RIP, dear lady.

[@traption4617]

Same.

[@Crasher1982]

Wtf I didn't even know when she had passed away. She was awesome as Ursula. Watching her sit there and do the voice - awesome! May she rip always.

[@daniellemusella1594]

She was so much of an icon, that she partially inspired a television show that was connected to Disney in a big way. Lana Parilla, who played Evil Queen Regina on "Once Upon A Time", said she based the grander, bolder aspects of her character's personality on Ursula. When news broke that Pat had died, I wondered if this tidbit had ever gotten back to her. If so, I'm sure she was touched. (2/1/2023)

[@marawees8495]

My eyes went to ur comment exactly when she starts saying the quote. Strange timing

[@KyleAllenMusic]

I'm trying so hard not to cry. She was an amazing woman.

[@pauletteb6393]

Why fight it? I still cry about Betty White even though she was 99.

Just cry, let it all out. It’s fine to grieve those we’ve lost.

[@PrinceMarc22]

Rest in peace Ms. Caroll. Your gentle beautiful spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to have met you, whether in person or through the beautiful legacy you have left behind. You will be forever loved and deeply missed.❤️😢

I am one of those people who worked with her several times and she was every bit as wonderful as you think she was. 💙

[@PrinceMarc22]

@@denisefromdc1796 you are very fortunate to have worked with such a remarkable woman.

[@Holy_Wraith]

Pat Carroll still lives on my Kingdom Hearts games. I was amazed she voice Ursula again in those games.

[@MattClayton-q2u]

Pat voiced Ursula in almost all the media she was in- the original film, the WDW/Disneyland ride (which you see her and her granddaughter on), Dreamland Valley, House of Mouse, Kingdom Hearts, even the two Little Mermaid episodes in the 1990s.

[@charismapher]

She insisted we not shed tears, but it's hard not to be saddened by the loss of such tremendous talent and such a rich, fortunate soul. 🐙🐙🐙 RIP, Pat.

[@jolliwoodstudios]

For playing such a nasty, mean character, she had a wonderfully kind soul.

[@MrSammyD91]

Rest easy Pat Carroll, you may have been the voice of one of the most dastardly villains in Disney history, but you also seem like a kind and caring soul who definitely had fun doing it. We're all gonna miss you.

[@joegroves3767]

She accomplished it all! She even said before she died she wanted to be in a Disney film and she did it! BOY DID SHE DO IT AND DID IT SO MEMORABLY WELL! She will be missed terribly! We love you Mrs Carrol

[@madeleinemcgregor2855]

Pat did a superb job as Ursula. In fact, I actually got to do an interview with her via video chat during lockdown. She was a very pleasant, kind, humble and overall wonderful person to talk to. Thanks for everything Pat and May you rest in heavenly peace. It was an absolute pleasure to have known you and to talk with you. I’ll miss you a lot. Sincerely, Madeleine McGregor from Queensland, Australia. xoxo

This was an Absolutely Amazing Video for Pat Carroll The One True Voice of Ursula. It just broke My Heart When I heard that she passed away.

Just hearing her laugh is amazing Her voice is unique and authentic She will be greatly be missed

[@cristinaj2223]

She lived a great life and had one of the most iconic Disney voices! She set the bar too high for anyone to surpass her ❤ RIP Pat!

[@pauletteb6393]

Oh this woman. I first encountered her acting when I was very young and saw Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella", around 1967. I have been a fan ever since. I even mentioned to my husband a couple of months ago that she would probably be leaving us before the year was out. God bless you, Pat. You will always be in our hearts!

[@SnowDeerling]

I grew up watching that version of Cinderella! Love her!

[@Tinkerbe11]

[@alexandriasimko5627]

When class is few and far between in the entertainment industry, along comes someone like Pat Carroll. Pure class all the way!! She is one of those people you're sad you didn't meet in the present, but when it's your time, you are blessed to be able to meet her in heaven.

[@peanut_butter_cookies]

A happy and fulfilled life. 95 golden years. Thank you for giving so much life and character into one of the most iconic villains in Disney history. Rest in peace Pat.

[@stephenkostiak3929]

It’s Mel Blanc’s dedication all over again. Mel Blanc’s Looney Tunes were speechless due to the untimely death of the man of 1,000 voices in 1989. I guess Ursula the Sea Witch is speechless without Pat Carroll and there is no sound alike for her to replace the actress anytime soon.

[@joyunicycle]

Even if there was someone who could replicate her voice, it wouldn't be the same. Pat Carroll brought a liveliness to the character that nobody else could.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yeah I'm not sure how to feel about Melissa McCarthy playing her in the upcoming film :/ she's a tad too goofy for Ursula lol.

[@optombomber2980]

May her memories live on in everyone’s hearts, Rest In Peace

I would’ve loved to see her reaction to the 2023 film! She would’ve loved it so much! 😭😭

I knew her as one of Cinderella's stepsisters in the 60s version and I didn't connect that role with Ursula for a long time, but it made it so much more special when I did. I'm glad she had such a long life and feel blessed for the performances she gifted to us; I only wish I could have expressed my appreciation to her Thank you, Carol, for being a sassy stepsister and a vibrant sea-witch! (If you don't know the stepsisters' lament, look it up. It's priceless!)
