John Fraser McLeish (May 10, 1916 – October 30, 1968) was a Canadian-American voice actor, narrator and screenwriter best known for his work with Walt Disney Productions during the 1940s and 1950s. He is remembered for narrating many of the classic Goofy “How To” shorts and for his role as the Prosecutor in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949).
McLeish's distinctive, authoritative voice made him a staple of Disney's mid-century animation, often lending a dry, comedic narration that became a hallmark of the studio's educational and comedic shorts.
