Gotta give props to the artists and animators for that one, they did absolutely amazing work modeling these characters after their voice actors! and it figures that the Genie and Robin Williams would be number 1 because as everyone knows when it comes to Disney characters the Genie as well as Robin himself are legends!
Honestly I kind of miss this aspect of classic Disney. The way they captured characters by hand drawing and animating based off of live re-enactments was super cool.

It’s one of those cases where they got the PERFECT cast for every character! Like in the TV series, Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018), all of the cast members chosen for the main characters were very carefully selected for their personalities being so very much like that of their chosen characters (like they were cut from the same cloth) and so they were able to give it their all

Jane Lynch was the best part about the Wreck it Ralph franchise. Phyllis smith has had this happen to her more than once. Not only the animation of sadness was the same, but her character Phyllis on The Office was named after her.

In the older days, they'd often use the voice actors faces as a reference when animating the movie, so it's no surprise that this practice stuck.

Another honourable mention is the late Bob Hoskins. He played Mr. Fezziwig & Old Joe the Rag & Bone Man in Disney's A Christmas Carol. Jim Carrey played Scrooge & 2 of the Christmas Ghosts. All of the characters were made up to look like their voice actors. If you think Scrooge doesn't even look like Jim Carrey, you may be right in 1 way, but I think an age progression was used to make Scrooge as well.
Eartha Kitt as Izma- the animators based Izma directly on Eartha, but were terrified to show her! In the end, she found it hilarious.
Disney is well-known for copying the faces and gestures of the voice actors onto their characters. Mrs Potts/Angela Landsbury awa most of the other characters from Beauty and the Beast. You have Louis Prima and the baboon chief from Jungle Book right down to copying the conga line he and his band would do on stage. If I recall correctly, I remember seeing a feature on The Wonderful World of Disney, where the animators were frequently given photos of the voice actors. It’s a signature thing for Disney animated films
The Gaselle in Zootopia. Best Shakira "hips don't lie" caricature ever 😅‼️
I don’t think I’ll ever forget Robin Williams and the legacy he left behind. Some of my favorite films had him play a huge role like Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. Mrs Doubtfire was hilarious and Flubber prob played an even bigger part of my childhood. His role as the Genie is obvi my fav though. I hope he knows that in the afterlife.

No, NOT using all the face net technologies and stuff like they did for James Cameron’s “Avatar,” but characters’ personalities designed and/or being changed to match their actors, just like this video.
One must not forget Bunny in Rise of the Guardians being modeled after High Jackman
Although her part was small, I think you should have mentioned Ofra Haza (Moses's birth mom) from The Prince of Egypt. Apparently when the animators met her they instantly scrapped their original designs.

I often wonder if someone like Robin Williams knew how much he meant to me personally, and then I see I'm not the only one who felt him on a personal level too. He is synonymous to my childhood. I even processed my parents' divorce through Mrs Doubtfire. I always wish I could have made him feel how loved he was.
Professor Ratigan of Basil the Great Mouse Detective is the earliest character I saw with this, first seeing the movie when I was 5, and it was originally released the year I was born. Vincent Price was so colourful in his performance, and it's Ratigan I picture when I hear his name, rather than horror movies. He was my introduction to the concept of the villain getting the best lines, and in Ratigan's case, the best songs. What a r- er, big mouse!
Eartha Kitt and her voiced character Yzma from Emperor's New Groove are basically the same.
Funny that number ten was Will Smith Who played Genie in the Live Action film of Aladdin

mid-60s or thereabouts, saw a picture of a Disney animator and one of his creations; was surprised at how much they resembled each other. many years later, saw _Dragonheart_ and was surprised at how much (there's that phrase again) Draco and Sean Connery looked alike. it eventually -- and finally -- occurred to me that sometimes characters' features match those of their "voicers".

I watched the 2010 Oscar's in my college dorm building's community room with two other guys, when they announced the winner for Best Animated Series (in this case, UP) it showed Ed Asner in the audience and I told my companions: "That's Ed Asner, the actor who voiced Carl Fredericksen." They responded: "Huh, he even looks like him." "Oh, I'm sure they would've used the actor's face as a model for the character."
