Voice of Witch King from 1980 Animated ROTK
Does anyone know who did the voice of the witch king from the (Arthur Rankin, Jules Bass) cartoon Return of the King 1980?
I tried to do a search, but I could not find what I was looking for. Thanks for your help in advance.

I searched for a bit. Seems he was uncredited. I'd check the actual DVD credits and extras, as well as the case... but a friend has mine.

As a rule, IMDB (Internet movie database) publishes this. Perhaps this level of detail is now only available from their for-pay service.
A Google search on this subject brings up this thread as item # 9 and on the front page. |

I did try imdb, but I did not find a credit for the WitchKings voice. Perhaps it will be found on the VHS/DVD copy of RB's ROTK. I am curious since the voice sounds similar to what I have heard in other animation cartoons. (Interesting how this thread is now up to nine in a Google search.

The voice might have been that of Don Messick.
I did a little further work on this. In the IMDB comments, there is one subtitled “One Word: Stupid” from 13 August 2006, that says Quote:

I watched the DVD version of that last weekend, and I really did not like it at all. The animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are both OK, but ROTK was pretty bad IMHO. Peace and goodwill.

John Stephenson is credited for the voice of the Witch-King. And Mithrand1r's hunch was a good one - he has indeed voiced quite a few cartoon characters. Don Messick who has been mentioned above, apparently voiced the Mouth of Sauron.
