August is coming to an end, and unfortunately, I don't have anything particularly earth-shattering to share with you to round out the month. Don't worry, I have some exciting stuff planned for this blog in September, and today, I thought I would share a couple of photos based around a time-honored tradition in animated press: actors standing next to their animated counterparts! You see images like these a lot nowadays for animated movies and their celebrity voices, but they've been around for way longer than that. Scroll down below to see Fred, Yogi, Jonny Quest, and many more, right next to the people who gave them life!
First off is the modern stone-age family, the Flintstones, as well as their next-door neighbors, the Rubbles. This came from the April 1961 edition of a magazine called "TV Mirror."
Just a few months later, in September of 1961, we got this great image of the entire cast of Top Cat. I couldn't find where this image was sourced from, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same magazine the Flintstones photo came from.
Jumping forward two decades, we have a photo of not one, but two Jonny Quests! This was a press photo for the 1980s revival episodes, and features the original Jonny, Tim Matheson, meeting his successor, Scott Menville. Menville also supplied the voice of Fred Flintstone in the later episodes of The Flintstones Kids, but you probably know him best for voicing Robin in Teen Titans and its spin-offs. Also featured in this picture is the man himself, Joe Barbera.
Last but most certainly not least, we have the always lovable Daws Butler, standing between probably his two most famous characters, Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound. This is one I imagine a lot of you have seen before, but I couldn't do a post like this and not feature Daws, so here it is again!
That's all I've got for you today, but I know for sure that there are more photos like these out there, so maybe I'll do a follow-up sometime in the future. Until we meet again, have a funtastic day!
