I’ve got a few Honorable Mentions: • Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen, “Cars” franchise (2006-): from his lack of racing to his showboating attitude, Wilson drove Lightning McQueen to victory with this red race-car’s performance Ka-chow! • John Leguizamo as Sid the Sloth, “Ice Age” franchise (2002-2016): this comedic sloth has proved to be more than just a bumbling sidekick, Leguizamo has brought Sid the Sloth’s lisp voice to life as his most memorable voice character. • Kevin Hart as Snowball, “The Secret Life of Pets” franchise (2016-): Kevin Hart has made it through thick and thin in comedy and this adorable and hilarious white rabbit is one that sticks out the most. • Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” franchise (2009-2013): Hader’s performance in this animated film is both inspiring and compelling as Flint tries to prove himself to be a worthy inventor to his father, heroic and heart melting Bill Hader is more than capable. • Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, “The Bad Guys” (2022): From this all star cast film Sam Rockwell’s voice for Mr. Wolf is both slick and manipulative just like the character himself.

Rest in peace, Robin Williams. Despite the movie being titled after Aladdin, the Genie absolutely stole the show. We've never had a friend like the Genie, just as we'll never have an actor quite like Robin again.

Alladin has always been my favorite Disney movie because of the genie. Ever since Robin's death, i can't get it out of my head. A man who was so talented and always trying to make people laugh, was also so sad on the inside. I think about this at least once a week and it makes me so sad. I really hope he has found peace, he absolutely deserves it and thank you for your manic energy and ability to make people laugh. It will never be forgotten!!!! R.I.P.
Patton Oswalt as Remy, The Rock as Maui, Steve Carrell as Gru, and Robin Williams at the Genie are all phenomenal.

Will Arnett' voice was perfect for Batman in The Lego movie. I laughed every time he said, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO....
Eartha Kitt as Isma? How could anyone forget such a fabulously stunning performance by Patrick Warburton as the ever loveable Kronk? Also: RIP Robin Williams. We ain't never...hadda...friend like him
Emperors new grove is an underrated gem!!!! Everyone played the characters perfect and the level of sarcasm from them is legendary!!! I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid and loving it 😊
My favourites are: Robin Williams, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Jay Baruchell, Johnny Depp, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ralph Fiennes and James Earl Jones.
Robin Williams… great example. He stole the show as Genie. All of us still miss him.
"Can I kiss the monkey?" Brilliant. R.I.P. Mr Williams, we'll be missing you.
*thumbnail* Eddie Murphy: "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say."
RAMESES was PERRRRFECT voice acting MANDY MOORE as RAPUNZEL is Peak!!! BRADLEY COOPER as ROCKET is always gonna be my favorite voice and CGI character in live action movies CHRIS PRATT is an awesome voice actor!!!! I loved HADES more than any other character aside HERCULES in HERCULES
Robin put so much into that movie. Especially the scene when he transformed into a bee lol. Rest in peace, man.

Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams are by far the two best voice actors 👍 I'm from Holland and maybe you guys know the actor Tygo Gernandt? He is also really good in doing voices in animated movies
Jack Black’s Bouser in “The Super Mario Brothers Movie” also deserves a shout out.
Since Mufasa was mentioned, let’s also not forget James Earl Jones’s impossibly booming, menacing work as the voice of Darth Vader.
R.I.P., Robin Williams and Eartha Kitt. I Absolutely Love these two when they stole the show, as the Voices of Genie from *Disney's Aladdin* and Yzma from *The Emperor's New Groove.*

One of the things I love and find very interesting about these videos that focuses on Voice Acting performances and the Voice Actors that pull them off is that no matter which ones are very great, they can never top Robin Williams as Genie in “Disney’s Aladdin”.
Scott Weinger and Robin Williams Jeremy Irons and James Earl Jones Danny DeVito and James Woods Billy Crystal and John Goodman Tom Hanks and Tim Allen Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers Those men were perfect voicing the characters in the movies and their characters balance out perfectly as well
Lin-Manuel Miranda as Vivo in Vivo (2021) even though he's not on the list no surprise that Robin Williams was number 1 on this list
As usual I have strong opinions on this list. I would have included Ursula, Olaf, Pumba, Merida, and Princess Tiana. U missed so many. Should have been a top 100!!
It always puts a smile on my face when The Great Mouse Detective gets the love it deserves. I love it so much and think its such a great movie
Vincent Price gave Rattigan a personality that few actors at the time would've given him. The great mouse detective is still a must see whenever I get to spend time with my grand nieces. They're still young enough to appreciate good Disney movies.
Great list I loved all of these fantastic actors performances as there iconic characters😊❤️❤️
Number 101, right here. Ralph Fiennes voicing Ramses is great until he played Lord Voldemort. Ralph Fiennes has to be my favorite villain actor. I love The Prince of Egypt
James Earle Jones as Darth Vader
They never fail to amaze us
It's obvious what number 1 is! RIP Robin Williams 😢

Alan Tudyk is one of the most underrated talents in Hollywood.
Honourable Mention: Kevin Hart as Bunny.
I'm glad that Eartha Kitt and Jeremy Irons are on this list. I was hoping to hear Be Prepared 😅
Craig Fergusson as the Gobber is very memorable to me as well :) with some awesome one liners :D
Wait, what? You have. James Earl Jones for Mufasa but Leave out Darth Vader?? Criminal
Watchmojo should do a Top 100 Celebrity Voice Actor/Actress Performances in Movies video because there are so many great celebrity voice movie performances that deserve more attention.
Mel Blanc. There are WB films in which he does all the voice work.:)
Sandra Bullock as Scarlet Overkill 💡 "Minions" (2015)
Great selection. I might have reshuffled it a bit, but the Genie couldn't be beaten. Two lions, but no Tiger? Surely George Sanders as Sheer Kahn in The Jungle Book should be on the list. In a movie with an embarrassment of riches in terms of the voice cast, the main villain definitely steals the show.
Steve Carrel as 'Gru' !

I grew up watching Basil the Great Mouse Detective for a long time and I actually didn't realize Vincent Price was the voice of Ratigan when I gave it a re-watch. And though I havn't seen other films that feature Vincent Price, this the one I remember him from the most, even though its just his voice.
Seeing this video gives me an idea for a future video. Might I suggest Top Voice Over Ensemble Casts
Nice list, I liked that you put some of the actual actors as you display the character. Would have enjoyed it more if you had done it for all characters, since I had to be searching on google to see who the ones you didn't include were.

Ironic you mention all that about Tom Hanks when he got his own brother to voice all the merchandise. There is a very subtle difference in voice between Jim and Tom but still. He kind of did deliver a performance for a paycheck
Of all the ones on this list ive seen, they're all great
These are all great choices! But why not 37:28 Darth Vader? Come on James Earl Jones! Most iconic villain all!
Sure, John C. Reilly's portrayal of Wreck It Ralph is great, but you can't leave out the stellar performance by his co-star Sarah Silverman as Vanellope Von Schweetz!
James Woods’ Hades should’ve been way higher, his perfomance is beyond iconic. 💗
No Mark Hamil as Joker? - this MUST be an oversight!
Let’s all be honest here: EVERYONE on this list is, more or less, most famous for these roles that were listed in this video. Of course, these actors have done other iconic roles outside of animation, but these are among their most iconic, if not most famous ever

Some honourable mentions must include Gilbert Gottfried as Yago in Aladdin, as well as Rowan Atkinson as Zazu and Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi (both in The Lion King).
-I am impressed that you pronounced Ralph Fiennes' first name properly. Also: The narrator and the words on the screen said Ralph Fiennes. But, the chapter title said, Rafe Spall. You may want to fix that, if possible. -Like Scott Weinger, Casey Kasem, Matthew Lillard, and many others, James Wood has chosen to be a lifer when it comes to voicing his (and our) favorite character. I am glad these actors have made the commitment because they really bring their characters to life. And, like Christopher Reeve with Superman, they are purists when it comes to keeping their characters true! -I never saw Eddie Murphy's Donkey as being dim-witted. it is more like he simply sees the world through different eyes. His brain is wired differently. I have Asperger's Syndome. I'm not saying Donkey has that. Only that I can related to having a brain that is wired differently, since mine definitely is! -Tom Hanks doesn't act for the paychecks - although I'm sure he enjoys those, too. He does it for the craft. He puts everything he can into his roles and his performances. If the movie wasn't good or the character wasn't good, it wasn't because of Tom Hanks, it was because of the writing, the director, the producers, etc. But, never Tom Hanks, himself. He cares about the craft too much to give anything less than 100%.
Happy Friday WatchMojo!
