To whom is Paul Winchell better known as "the voice of Tigger" than as a brilliant ventriloquist? Even to someone who liked the Disneyfication of A.A. Milne, would the unseen voice behind a supporting character really be that well known?

I remember Jerry and Knucklehead and Farfel the dog very well. I suppose that how one remembers Paul Winchell must be a function of one's age.

I've read the option that Shari Lewis was the most skilled ventriloquist of them all. Unfortunately, I wasn't watching that closely or that critically when I was a kid; however, I have had at least one chance to see her in some old kinescopes (precursor to videotape) after learning how highly respected she was among her peers, and she was truly amazing.
