Short story:

Thurl Ravenscroft, singer and actor, dies aged 91, of prostate cancer in Fullerton, California, USA. Ravenscroft was a basso profundo vocalist who worked extensively in Disney movies and Disney attractions. He was the (uncredited) voice in the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the Christmas television special, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, but is perhaps best-known as the voice of Kellog's Frosted Flakes character Tony The Tiger, whose catchphrase "They'rrre grrreat!" was delivered by Ravenscroft.
