Melvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) was a prolific American voice actor and comedian, best known for his voice work with Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, and Walter Lantz. He did, however, provide the voice of Gideon in Walt Disney's 1940 film, Pinocchio and Dopey in Walt Disney's 1937 film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to replace Eddie Collins after his death. When it was decided that Gideon would be mute, Mel's lines were cut from the final film, except for three hiccups. Mel also provided the voice of Uncle Orville in the Carousel of Progress. While the attraction has been updated with new voice actors over the years, Blanc's recordings are still heard in the attraction.
