Burl Ives did not have as a prolific of Disney career as the other choices thus far, but he has waited a long time and I think he deserves the honor. Here are the highlights:
He appeared in several live-action Disney films, including
So Dear to My Heart (as Uncle Hiram).
He also starred in Summer Magic (as Osh Popham). If you look
closely at the windows alongside the southwest corner Emporium entrance at Walt
Disney World, you’ll see the words, “Osh Popham” named as the proprietor of the shop.
He also provided the voice of Sam the Eagle in the former
America Sings attraction at Disneyland.
He sang for the album Walt
Disney Presents Burl Ives' Animal Folk.
The Ugly Bug Ball
is a song written by the Sherman Brothers and sung by Burl Ives in the movie Summer Magic. This song is still played
during Disney’s Halloween celebrations at the parks.
Lavender's Blue
was sung by Burl Ives, and was featured in the Walt Disney movie, So Dear to My Heart and was nominated
for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
He was the performer for the 1964 Disney album Chim Chim Cheree and Other Children's
Choices.
He also sang Ol' Dan Patch from the So Dear to My Heart movie.
