Why the new voice for H.R.?


It was VERY distracting that they didn't use Lennie Wienrib's voice in the movie. ...almost killed it for me.

It wasn't as bad as when they later used Van Snowden's voice for H.R. Pufnstuf.

At least in the movie, it still seems similar enough to his voice from the original series.

Van Snowden's version in the 70's was way off and didn't sound like Pufnstuf at all.

If you think that was bad, then you should have heard H.R. Pufnstuf's voice in several episodes of "The Brady Bunch Hour".

I think Weinrib might've been working on "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" around the time this film was being made.
