RIP Mark Elliot. Disney won’t be the same without you!

[@tppercival5295]

RIP Mark Elliott. You will always be remembered as the voice-over behind the Disney trailers.

[@labelashavoc]

It's nice to see the people behind the voices. RIP Don LaFontaine. He was my favorite when I found out who he was on from Geico

[@CentralTexasRailJetProductions]

RIP Mark Elliot! Heard of his passing yesterday. How sad!!

[@luisfonseca6644]

Our condolences goes to his friend and families

Mark Elliott: Beauty and The Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Bambi, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book. He did all the platinum editions from 2002-2007.

The piece could've also included Chuck Riley- it's just too bad that Bill Ratner(ABC) wasn't part of this story or even Al Chalk(CBS) or Chuck's brother, Michael Hanks(NBC)!!!

Mark Elliot was the narration of my childhood

[@sowisapigtobeexact2]

I'll say, he sounds like a more friendlier version of Brian Cummings, because sometimes hearing his voice would usually scare me when I was a kid.

[@ronsanford4793]

I'm reading all these comments in Don LaFontaine's voice.

[@prozack]

So that's what they look like! Lmao. These guys narrated my entire childhood. I hate to see Don go. R.I.P.

[@Ozzman500]

Jim Cummings predominantly does voice acting for animation. I think he has done some voice over work but he focuses on animation voice work. He was "the voice" in countless Disney cartoon shows in the 90's. A neat fact about him was that during voice recording for the "Lion King", when Jeremy Irons' (Scar) voice blew out, Mr. Cummings filled in for Irons for the recording of a song.

[@brianarbenz1329]

I’ve done some voice over work during the golden years of FM broadcasting… Or should I say, “In a world of FM broadcasting, his voice was there” etc.

[@DorvellTStewart]

Shame that in 2021, two of these four golden voices have been silenced and that we rarely hear from the other two. R.I.P, Don LaFontaine and Mark Elliott!

[@michaelpowell5266]

R.I.P., Don LaFontaine & Mark Elliott- fortunately, we still have Bill Ratner and Al Chalk to continue the voice-over industry with numerous trailers and promos!!!

Joe and George too!

if Chuck Norris' fist had a mouth and spoke, it would sound like Don LaFontaine.

[@CraZyGuh888]

LOL i LOVE HOW HE RANDOMLY SAYS "iN A WORLD" AND THEN GOES TO HIS REGULAR VOiCE..THAT'S TALENT !

[@CoolDevicesXxm4]

I would listen to Don La Fontaine read the phonebook.

[@DoctorQuestionMark]

I've seen that video before and all I can say is Touche. :) Joe (to Don): "You sing bass." Don: "Thank you, Jesus!"

[@Aurorak-i6l]

In a world without Don LaFontaine, how will we get along?

[@SGTHartsock]

great video, thanks for sharing it with us. Just hope NBC doesn't find it. I didn't see this last year, so it's bittersweet to see this now

I miss all the voiceovers for NBC like Danny Dark and Casey Kasem back in the 80's so is Mark Elliot that I love because he was a fine announcer for CBS back in the 80's and so is George DelHoyo too because he was a fine announcer for FOX, ABC Family and The CW but I love them both!

Don LaFontaine also did the voice over for the 1976 Ad Council PSA for child abuse prevention

[@martingardner9124]

Mark did Disney for probably 21 years. He did the Feature Presentation bumper from 1991-99 and then Beau Weaver from 1999-2006

[@wincraft71]

"In a place" is a precedent set by Don LaFontaine.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

Movie trailers just aren't cool anymore without these guys..... Nowadays it's either special effects, licensed music or even the film's name or franchise that sells the trailer to the audience. And, it could've been a 5 way if Hal Douglas showed up

[@Spikero2]

I agree with this vid. I had no clue who these guys are, but they were truly famous for their advertisement. I only seen Don in that Geico Commercial, but I'll never forget his legacy!

[@jvasquez311]

Campbell Scott has a gorgeous voice!

[@fballjake65]

I guess I never really thought that those voices had to come from an actual person. You just hear them and they have always been there.

[@Lovejazz01]

also Ernie anderson, Bill Ratner, Casey Kasem and Keith David...

[@martinwillis92]

Why wasn't Hal Douglas, Tony Jay, or Peter Cullen included? Their voices are just as audibly soothing as Don LaFontaine.

[@slan7]

the disney dude is older than i thought

[@jackoneill45]

It's a shame LaFontaine is dead, he's like the voice you think of when you think of the words "tv announcer" And i had no idea George DelHoyo was a TV announcer i heard all the time - i just thought of him as the voice of Material Defender in Descent 1 & 2.

[@3DDYR]

cool never knew those guys till now

[@sparkle11231]
