*Disclaimer* For some people, the audio cuts out for 2 of the clips. We have no idea why. It works perfectly fine while listening on our PC, TV and phone (except when using our Apple Airpods, that's when there's no audio. And even then, we can refresh the video... and the audio is there magically). So if audio cuts out for 30 seconds, it's not your connection or the quality of the video... something is going on on YouTube.

The fact that Jim Cummings matched him so absolutely perfectly is beyond words.

[Brook]

The original voice actor of Winnie the Pooh and Kaa from the films. Jim Cummings for sure wanted to honor Sterling by matching his voice to make it consistent.

I do enjoy Sterling Holloway's voice. That calm and rusty little innocent voice.
Sometimes when I do cleaning, I try out doing his voice. Lucky we have Jim Cummings today to do his voice.

His voice was always so innocent and adorable, even he was playing a Disney villain (that was the perfect subversive choice that someone should have gotten a raise for). I loved the little penguin story and Peter and the Wolf as a child, and I remembered him narrating those in addition to Pooh Bear and the others.

This guy actually sounds like Winnie the Pooh all the time. Love it.

I definitely loved Mr. Holloway's voice. There's this genuine sweetness and kindness in almost all of his roles, like an assuring grandfather with a higher pitched voice. Whenever he plays a more villainous role like Kaa and the Cheshire Cat, the contrast is jarring.

[BenJabituya]

Sterling Holloway was the voice of my childhood. Definitely a Disney Legend.

[jordanserchuk]

One of the most unmistakable voices of all time. Equally perfect for sweet and adorable characters, for strange and eerie characters, and deadpan wit-filled narration. We're lucky to still have Jim Cummings' great impression of him, but no one can really replace the original.

[ElvishShellfish]

He's got such a warm, gentle, but somewhat sad tone to his voice.

[maddestmike]

He had one of the sweetest voices of all. :)

[emmarose]

All my life I’d thought that Sterling was from England. I mean, he voiced the Cheshire Cat, Winnie the Pooh, Kaa...all characters from British literature.
Well, guess what? He was from my home state of Georgia! (He was from Cedartown, to be exact. That’s in Polk County, west of Atlanta.)
The whole state of Georgia thanks you, Sterling, for representing us well. 😘

The most adorable thing about his voice is his little giggle... hmm hmm hmm !!

[richardranke]

In the voice-over department, Holloway was prolific without being versatile. (His, "many voices, "are basicly the same.)

[lukekcc]

Was more like one voice for many characters but I always loved when he came into the movie. Such a perfectly suited voice for early Disney movies

[rachelklueck]

Sterling Holloway was a good narrator and voice actor.

[alskndlaskndal]

An indelible part of so many Disney classics (and even some not-Disney cartoons and commercials). His voice always brought warmth, charm, and humor to every character. The perfect voice to read you a bedtime story!

[MasterCreator]

After he died in 1992, Jim Cummings took over his character as the voice of Winnie-the-Pooh along he played Tigger the tiger.

[hobbitfan]

Fun fact: after Disney forced him into retirement, Sterling Holloway auditioned to be the voice for Garfield, but lost to Lorenzo Music.

Also, he was briefly considered for the role of Sleepy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but was ultimately passed over to Pinto Colvig.
