Is there a pirate that looks like Walt?

[firefly87]

It seems like I read something about this on the boards maybe back when I was getting ready for our trip this past March. If I remember correctly, I thought someone said that the imagineers made a pirate that has the likeness of Walt's face as a tribute to him. In March, I rode POTC several times trying to figure out which one it could be and never did come up with a definite answer.

Anyone out there know anything about this? I want to be able to point this out to my family on our trip in a couple weeks.

I don't know about Pirates but I know there's one in the HM during the graveyard scene.

Hey Janelle......how are ya?? I didn't know about that one on HM either! Do you know if that particular one is there duing the Holiday version of HM?

The one in HM is in the graveyard where the four heads are singing. Walt is the head that's "knocked over." However, during the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, they use different heads, so you won't see it.

That's actually not Walt. It's Thurl Ravenscroft who voiced many things for Disney & beyond.

Ooh this is funny, I was just reading about Thurl he did the voice of Tony the tiger and sang the song "you're a mean one mr. Grinch" love
his deep voice I always look at his image when riding HM and his pencil moustache! Love it

I heard that about the pirate too. I think someone told me it was one of the pirates that is chasing a woman or being chased by a woman. I've never really noticed, so I can't say for sure.

Wow! I always thought that was Walt! The resemblance is amazing! Thanks for correcting a misconception I've had for YEARS!!!!
