“That Monstro, I’ve heard of him! He’s a whale of a whale! Why, he swallows whole ships, alive!” ―Jiminy Cricket

In Disney’s Pinocchio, the animators of Monstro were inspired by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, the sperm whale!

The voice of Monstro was by Disney Legend, Thurl Ravenscroft.

Thurl Ravenscroft may be more commonly recognized by many as the voice of Tony The Tiger (They’re GREEAAT!) or the singer of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”; but his voice is heard throughout Disney.

Book a stay at Disney and see how many place you can find and hear Thurl!
