Burton first began working with Disney in 1976, when Jymn Magon hired him and several other new and veteran voice actors to do character voices for Disney Read-Along titles. He has a wide vocal range from baritone to falsetto. His baritone voice is the reason why he took over Tony Jay's roles after his death in 2006.
Burton has also done a lot of narration work. In 2000, he was called in to dub over Deems Taylor's narration in Fantasia, as when the restoration team was preparing Fantasia, some of Taylor's narration was missing or in too bad condition to be publicly released. So Burton re-recorded all of the film's dialogue to give it a consistent flow. He has also narrated several Disney documentaries and bonus features, such as The Story Behind Fun and Fancy Free, Bambi: The Magic Behind the Masterpiece, and The Jungle Book: The Making of a Musical Masterpiece, and often serves as the voice of Walt Disney in bonus materials utilizing his written words from story meeting transcripts and correspondence.
Additionally, he provided voice work in several attractions at Disney theme parks, most notably as the monorail tram narration at Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resort, the Tron SuperSpeed Tunnel voice in Disneyland's PeopleMover, General Knowledge in Epcot's Cranium Command, and the Ghost Host on Haunted Mansion Holiday. He also provided the sinister laughter effects for the Hatbox Ghost from The Haunted Mansion, which is a dark ride located in Disneyland's New Orleans Square themed land.
Burton received an Annie Award for his work as Ludwig Von Drake in House of Mouse, as well as an Annie nomination for his voice work as Captain Hook in both Return to Never Land and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
