Fullerton, California (AHN) - Thurl Ravenscroft, who provided the popular Frosted Flakes slogan, "they're grrrreat" and voiced a number of other Disney characters died Sunday of prostate cancer.

Ravenscroft voiced the striped Kellogs spokesman for over 50 years and lent his voice to numerous characters on Disneyland thrill rides including, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, The Enchanted Tiki Room and The Haunted Mansion.

He also worked on animated films, "Cinderella," "The Jungle Book," "Mary Poppins," "Alice in Wonderland," "Lady and the Tramp," and a slew of others.

In a 1996 interview, Ravenscroft told The Orange County Register, ?I?m the only man in the world that has made a career with one word: Grrrrreeeat!?

Ravenscroft's voice appeared in the first Frosted Flakes commercial in 1952.

?Disneyland wouldn?t have been, and wouldn?t be, the same without him,? the park?s former president, Jack Lindquist, told the Register. ?His voice was one of the things that made it all come alive.?

He is survived by two children and four grandchildren. June, his wife of 53 years, died in 1999 at the age of 80.
