That time he was talking about doing Aladdin and how when he started, there was one animator on had sketching him… then there were two… then five…all the while Robin does his thing and improvises and all… until half of the animation department was there watching him work.
@@geromelegnome5446yes, this is “Ms. Mojo” so I imagine her decisions were influenced by DEI, and of course Hollywood hates James Woods for his political stance.
@@axellast1579as it should be but to be clear just because your an established actor/ actress doesn’t mean your the best voice actor for the job. Now in a movie about brown ppl how man where brown so stop it. It’s about inclusiveness don’t ever forget that
@@jupitersag9938 it aint about "inclusiveness" its about talent and weather you suit the role and CAN PLAY THE PART. imagine people giving out gold medals to people because of their ethnicity rather than merit. Its about hard work and talent, dont EVER forget it.

The Prince of Egypt had the greatest all-star cast ever. Val Kilmer. Ralph Fiennes. Steve Martin. Jeff Goldblum. Sandra Bullock. Martin Short. Danny Glover. Helen Mirren. Michelle Pfeiffer. Patrick Stewart. Kudos to the casting director Edit: Fun fact: Val Kilmer played Batman. Ralph Fiennes would later voice Alfred in The Lego Batman Movie. Michelle Pfeiffer starred in Batman Returns. Ben Affleck, who would voice Joseph, ancestor of Moses in "Joseph King of Dreams" (a prequel to "The Prince of Egypt"), would also later play Batman. Mark Hamill, who voiced Joseph's brother Judah, also voiced the Joker in Batman the Animated Series.
@@escapistfromhell1543 IT is very interesting story that really happened. Joseph had one of the most unique stories in the Bible. His brothers sold him into slavery and it just went downhill from there until God turned it around. Joseph's Journey from the pit to the Palace.
Ralph Fiennes is simply phenomenal as Ramses! I think he stands out the most amongst the star studded cast for Prince of Egypt. There's power and intimidation in his voice, but there are also times when you really feel sorry for him. He's one of the many reasons why this film is the closest thing to perfection. Also, don't even get me started on how amazing Jeremy Irons is. Both he and Fiennes give amazing villain performances.
This is correct. PoE is one of my favorite films, if not possibly favorite, of all time. It's pure perfection in every way and the gravitas and ultimately conflicted voicing is just...there's not many words in the English language to describe my love for that film.
1) Robin Williams - Genie 2) Tony Jay - Frollo 3) Jeremy Irons - Scar 4) James Earl Jones - Mufasa 5) James Woods - Hades 6) Mushu - Eddie Murphy 7) Esmeralda - Demi Moore 8) Tom Hulce - Quasimodo 9) Kevin Kline - Phoebus 10) Robbie Bensen - Beast 11) Tim Allen - Buzz Lightyear 12) Tom Hanks - Woody 13) James Hong - The assistant to the Emperor in Mulan 14) Jodie Benson - Ariel 15) Christopher Daniel Barnes - Prince Eric Honorary mentions: Tate Donovan - Hercules, Danny Devito - Phil, Rip Torn - Zeus, Susan Egan - Megara.
"The Little Mermaid" was in 1989. Also, just because it was their original Renaissance Era doesn't mean only Disney (with or without Pixar) made good animated movies in the 90s.
Someone else beat me to it but yup! I was 6 when I saw it, I remember very very clearly because it was also the day my sister was born and my aunt took me to the movies while my mom was at the hospital, so, yeah, November 1989. Totally agree though!
@@soheekim9833 The Little Mermaid isn’t on this list because this list is for films from the 1990s and TLM was released in 1989 so it would belong in the list for films from the 1980s
The 90’s were the best decade to be alive. The movies we had growing up made our childhoods more fun. So many legendary actors who knew how to act made it even better. I’ll never forget Robin Williams in Aladdin. The days of the 90’s will never come back. 😢
I feel like 2010s and 2000s were the best year we get tmnt 2012 tale of the princess kaguya ponyo captain underpants spirited away and the list goes on
I heard that Angela Lansbury was hesitant to do the title song for Beauty and the Beast, that she felt she wouldn't do the song justice, but she agreed to record the song just one time, and that single recording was the take they went with for the final product.
Lansbury was a Broadway legend for years already at this point. What actually happened was that she had just flown over from England and was exhausted, but they only had the studio reserved for a little bit of time. So she came directly from the airport and killed it in one take, like the pro she was.
I remember watching "Mulan" in the theater. In the row in front of us a man sat with his little boy (probably about 2 years old) on his lap. Every time Mushu was onscreen the little guy would start giggling. It was so cute! 🥰
I'm SO glad Anastasia got the recognition it deserves. It's way underrated for the great score it has and the film as a whole. As well as one of the best villain songs. Hercules is underrated too. Awesome soundtrack, I love Meg, you'd have to be dead to not love Phil, one of the best Disney movies.
A few honorable mentions: Angela Lansbury also voiced Dowager Empress Marie in Anastasia, Tim Curry also voiced the villainous pipe organ Forte in Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, Demi Moore in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame as Esmeralda, Kevin Spacy in A Bug's Life, Matthew Broderick in The Lion King as Simba (adult), Mel Gibson in Pocahontas as John Smith, Glenn Close in Tarzan as Tarzan's adoptive mother Kala and Susan Sarandon's fellow costars from James And The Giant Peach Jane Leeves (was from Frasier as Daphne and voiced the ladybug) and Richard Dreyfuss as the centipede.
Being a 90s kid and watching nearly all these films (I only saw The Prince of Egypt recently) constantly as a kid (and some of these I still do cause they’re among my top faves) I can completely agree with these picks. The 90s was a great time to be a kid
A great many people wanted Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to do a duet at some point. The soundtrack to this movie has exactly that ("When You Believe") during the closing credits. And it's the only such duet in the world. With Whitney being gone, there can be no other.
totally agree 100% and also for the family because these movies have excelent stories. I am also 90's kid but was born 1999 and i watch them in Egyptian accent.
The one and only Kevin Conroy in Batman the Mask of Phantasm! He passed away last year, and was the sole reason I got into acting. I already kinda mentioned this previously, so sorry about that but there's so much more to voice acting than meets the eye. I have a VA background and there are some preconceived notions that it's not as demanding as regular acting; but the vocal training itself and perfecting the craft may take more time than any acting school. This video is about the 90's but these days, the vast majority of voice acting is needed in the gaming industry. What's really problematic for some of the veteran and seasoned voice actors is that the video game developers prefer actors who also can provide motion capture; it gives a more fluid experience and actors can react to each other in real time. Unfortunately this can lead to some unpopular choices in the long run; Ubisoft replaced iconic and amazing Michael Ironside with much younger Eric Johnson (from those Shades of Gray movies) for Splinter Cell Blacklist.
She also sung the titular song in ONE TAKE! She was adamant that Lumiere should be the character who sings that song but they convinced her to at least sing it once and that's the version we hear in the film. If that's not talent then I don't know what is.
@@belle_lover Yes! And she also had just landed from her flight I think from New York where she'd done a Broadway show. She was exhausted but sang anyway... TALENT!!!
I miss when Disney cared about the stories, the art and the sentimental aspect of their movies. I’ve said this since the first time I watched the first “remake”. …. Disney is gonna use these so called “remakes” to cash in… because they know it’ll attract young viewers but will also attract interest in older viewers that may find it nostalgic.
Honestly was expecting to see James Woods has Hades in Hercules at number 2. Amazing performance! Behind the scenes videos show the animators talking about his energy and performance, and how they ended up changing the characters ticks and personalitie to fit him - he was that funny! 🤣😊
I was born in the early 90s, and Robin Williams was my favorite comedic hero of my childhood. That’s how I admire animation and voiceover work, not by their acting, by the feelings of our souls and nostalgic memories.
*Everyone loves Eddie Murphy and Tim hanks in their movies, but nothin beats robin williams as the genie. The way he can make all these impressions and laughter to being serious and light hearted. I miss robin.*
Jeremy Irons is the epitome of perfection as Scar. "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."
Of course these are some of the best voice acting performances, Because these are some of the most legendary voice actors of all time! And they always put their heart and soul into the characters that they voiced it just proves just how damn amazing they were at their jobs!!!
One performance that usually goes unnoticed in the Lion King was that of Matthew Broderick as adult Simba. Everyone knows that James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons gave legendary performances but I feel like Broderick's performance as the main hero Simba doesn't get talked about enough. Also, another great performance that doesn't get much recognition is Aladdin from "Aladdin", played by Scott Weinger, who was also known at the time for his role as Steve Hale on "Full House"
true that. Especially in Under the Stars and the final confrontation. He sounds so distraught when his father leaves again and the way he says Run Away and Never Return is chilling.
Born in the 80s, the films I watched were sublime and still are to bring back nostalgia. So thrilled to see so many of my favourite movies in this list.
I seem to recall hearing Angela Langsbury actually was hesitant and extremely nervous to sing her own part. Not because she didn't know how to sing, but wasn't sure she was past her prime.
Of course Robin’s performance is top notch! There’ll never be a friend like him, forever cherished. There’s also a shout out to Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts from Beauty and the Beast too! She was phenomenal imo.
Let’s hope the famous Tom Hanks will voice Woody one last time for the 5th and the final ‘Toy Story’ movie possibly during the 30th anniversary of the entire ‘Toy Story’ film franchise.
This is a good list. But I would have added Sean Connery since his role as Draco from Dragonheart was amazing! These voice acting performances don't have to come from animated films alone.
Jeremy Irons as Scar shows that even if you don't see his actual face, he will always be a great villain. Also, actually didn't know Tim Curry was in Ferngully, only big name I remember from that one is Robin Williams as the bat, learned something today lol
Irons, in the lion King, actually attempted to sing "Be Prepared" but had to bow out halfway through to turn over to a professional singer. Hes so impressive!
Honorable mentions: James Earl Jones as Scar (The Lion King) Gilbert Gottfried as Iago (Aladdin) Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story) Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm) John Ratzenberger as Hamm (Toy Story) Ming-Na Wen as Mulan (Mulan) Danny DeVito as Phil (Hercules)
I was hoping Kevin Spacey should be in the top pick or an honorable mention as Hopper in A Bug's Life. He was one of my favorite Pixar villains and Spacey's performance was incredible. He really nailed it 👏👏👏
I’m shocked Gilbert gotfried wasn’t on the list as his iconic performance as iago. Maybe you were going for one character per movie. But still he should have at least been an honorable mention.
Robin Williams... The Man...the Myth...The Legend. His legacy will never die. Plus I didn't know that Jeff Goldblum who was the actor as Ian from Jurassic Park was the voice as Aaron. That caught me off guard.😂
Even though i was born in the late 90's i grew up listening to most of these actors (not really, i was born in Colombia, a place were movies present in theatres in spanish) but, this was a nice top nonetheless. Happy wednesday afternoon Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.
Ahhhh one of the top reasons why animation is my favorite genre: the amazing voice performances just amazing!!! brava!!especially in Disney and ofc Anastasia and the amazing Prince of Egypt
okay Jack Skellington or Vin Disel should be in the top ten not the gargoyles, the voice actor may be decent, and Quasi did need someone to bounce off of, but the gargoyles are universally hated characters, because of the way their comedic tone clashes with the rest of what is otherwise a very serious and dark movie (at least by Disney standards)
Jeremy Irons as Scar was one of the best. James Earl Jones as Mufasa was also great. of course you can't forget Robin Williams as Genie. one of my favorite Disney characters ever!!
Fantastic voice acting!😁Jason Alexander as Hugo, James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons are epic😁 Ralph is fantastic! Robin is completely amazing! Fantastic! I'm so honored I watched this movies Beautiful years :) Childhood😁 This was Disney,this was love. Beautiful :)

Robin Williams' Genie will always be the best. You just can't beat those improv skills that land every time.
With the actor for the voice of genie in the new Aladdin, it’s just not as good.
Legendary

R.I.P. Robin Williams
That time he was talking about doing Aladdin and how when he started, there was one animator on had sketching him… then there were two… then five…all the while Robin does his thing and improvises and all… until half of the animation department was there watching him work.
Meg's great, but come on... James Woods as Hades CLEARLY carried that movie. He was phenomenal. Should have been on this list.
Absolutely true
that part had me scratching my head. In that whole movie James Woods pretty much stole the show entirely.
Did politics play a role in his lack of inclusion?
@@geromelegnome5446yes, this is “Ms. Mojo” so I imagine her decisions were influenced by DEI, and of course Hollywood hates James Woods for his political stance.
Agreed-he knocked it out of the park.
Let's be honest, both the Lion King and the Prince of Egypt had the most stacked voice cast even for some animated movies of the 90's.
unfortunately, we now live in a world where its not about casting the best voice actors, its has to be color-coordinated
@@axellast1579as it should be but to be clear just because your an established actor/ actress doesn’t mean your the best voice actor for the job. Now in a movie about brown ppl how man where brown so stop it. It’s about inclusiveness don’t ever forget that
Yeah but Nathan Lane isn't in the superstar stack haha. No one outside of New York knew that name. Timon made him famous.

@@jupitersag9938 forced inclusion has destroyed this industry.
Eartha Kitt as Yzma in 'The Emperor's New Groove' was brilliant. I know it was made in 2000, but it needs a mention. 'Pull the lever, Kronk..!'
"Wrong lever!"
"Why do we even HAVE that lever?"
I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea...
Have you heard Yzma's cut song? It's really good!
Then I'll put that flea in a box, then I'll put that box in another box and mail it to myself. And when it arrives I'll smash it a HAMMER!
Jeremy Irons as Scar and Robin Williams as Genie has to be the Top ones!

The Prince of Egypt had the greatest all-star cast ever. Val Kilmer. Ralph Fiennes. Steve Martin. Jeff Goldblum. Sandra Bullock. Martin Short. Danny Glover. Helen Mirren. Michelle Pfeiffer. Patrick Stewart.

Robin Williams as the Genie from 1992’s ‘Aladdin.’
Mr. Williams did an amazing job on his voice performance 110 percent.
Correction, Aladdin came out in 1992, not 1994. Lion King came out in 1994, however. Still, agreed on Williams doing a tremendous job as the Genie.

The one and only Kevin Conroy in Batman the Mask of Phantasm! He passed away last year, and was the sole reason I got into acting. I already kinda mentioned this previously, so sorry about that but there's so much more to voice acting than meets the eye. I have a VA background and there are some preconceived notions that it's not as demanding as regular acting; but the vocal training itself and perfecting the craft may take more time than any acting school. This video is about the 90's but these days, the vast majority of voice acting is needed in the gaming industry. What's really problematic for some of the veteran and seasoned voice actors is that the video game developers prefer actors who also can provide motion capture; it gives a more fluid experience and actors can react to each other in real time. Unfortunately this can lead to some unpopular choices in the long run; Ubisoft replaced iconic and amazing Michael Ironside with much younger Eric Johnson (from those Shades of Gray movies) for Splinter Cell Blacklist.
Angela Lansbury is so good as Ms. Pots! Her singing in her lower register! is so rich and beautiful. Her demeanor is so motherly… Infectious!
She also sung the titular song in ONE TAKE! She was adamant that Lumiere should be the character who sings that song but they convinced her to at least sing it once and that's the version we hear in the film. If that's not talent then I don't know what is.
@@belle_lover Yes! And she also had just landed from her flight I think from New York where she'd done a Broadway show. She was exhausted but sang anyway... TALENT!!!
Ralph Fiennes was awesome as Ramses! He was so delicious in the role! Same goes for Jeremy Irons as Scar!
I have such a crush on jeremy irons. 😅
I miss when Disney cared about the stories, the art and the sentimental aspect of their movies. I’ve said this since the first time I watched the first “remake”. …. Disney is gonna use these so called “remakes” to cash in… because they know it’ll attract young viewers but will also attract interest in older viewers that may find it nostalgic.
We all knew Robin Williams as the Genie was gonna be #1!!! Just as he should be!! I will always love Robin Williams!!
Yeah, if this was based on a voting or some metric system, he would be soooooooooo far ahead of everyone else. It's not even close.
I think Fiennes' performance was a bit better
@@samhbricks3353 His performance was great, but there is a reason Robin is typically put #1
Robin Williams is still so much missed. Every time I hear his name or voice I cry.
As a 90s kid I loved all of these movies. The 90s was a great time to be a child.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury . Loved her as Mrs. Pots in Beauty and the Beast
Also loved her in Murder She Wrote
Honestly was expecting to see James Woods has Hades in Hercules at number 2. Amazing performance! Behind the scenes videos show the animators talking about his energy and performance, and how they ended up changing the characters ticks and personalitie to fit him - he was that funny! 🤣😊
Ralph Fiennes went from Ramses to Voldemort.
Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy hands down!
Agreed, they are the most iconic voice actors!
I think that I already know what Number One is! Rest in peace, Robin Williams, we'll never have a friend like you, before or since! ❤️🧞♂️
I was predicting Williams to be #1
R.I.P Robin Williams 😢
Yo, how is Tim Curry only an HONORABLE MENTION?! He's up there with Robin Williams and is so much more then a honorable mention 🩷
R.I.P. Robbin Williams . Loved him as Genie in Aladdin
I was born in the early 90s, and Robin Williams was my favorite comedic hero of my childhood. That’s how I admire animation and voiceover work, not by their acting, by the feelings of our souls and nostalgic memories.
Facts!❤
*Everyone loves Eddie Murphy and Tim hanks in their movies, but nothin beats robin williams as the genie. The way he can make all these impressions and laughter to being serious and light hearted. I miss robin.*
Honorable mention: Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh in el dorado
Ming-Na Wen was the voice of MULAN and she is still kicking ass in tv and film she deserved a mention
Was looking for this one❤
Agreed. She made a cameo in the live action version of Mulan and was in the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
And the singing voice of Lea Salonga, what a pairing!
We all knew Robin Williams would be #1 (and deservedly so)
Why does he have to be all the time? Hasn't he been topping enough voice-acting lists like this already?
@@1992disney That's all the more proof that he deserves the #1 slot if he's making all the lists.
@@lry8133 What about the others?
@@1992disney There are many others who are amazing, but no one on his level.
@@lry8133 What if there are others who are on his level? 🤔
Jeremy Irons is the epitome of perfection as Scar. "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."
I swear the prince of egypt is a masterpiece, and so little people know / remember it
I remember refusing to watch it, because little me thought it was "too unfair" and it sure was.
I saw everyone of these movies as a kid in the 90s. I thank all of the performers for bringing the animated characters to life.
Robin Williams is obviously #1 as the genie 🧞♂️
Robin Williams was a national treasure. May he rest in peace.
Danny Devito as Phil in Hercules. Can’t believe you took Megara over him…….
Of course these are some of the best voice acting performances, Because these are some of the most legendary voice actors of all time! And they always put their heart and soul into the characters that they voiced it just proves just how damn amazing they were at their jobs!!!
One performance that usually goes unnoticed in the Lion King was that of Matthew Broderick as adult Simba. Everyone knows that James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons gave legendary performances but I feel like Broderick's performance as the main hero Simba doesn't get talked about enough.
Also, another great performance that doesn't get much recognition is Aladdin from "Aladdin", played by Scott Weinger, who was also known at the time for his role as Steve Hale on "Full House"
true that. Especially in Under the Stars and the final confrontation. He sounds so distraught when his father leaves again and the way he says Run Away and Never Return is chilling.
Born in the 80s, the films I watched were sublime and still are to bring back nostalgia. So thrilled to see so many of my favourite movies in this list.
I am surprised Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill from Mask of the Phantasm is not on the list. That was a great cartoon movie.
They're bringing that to 4K later this year.
Kevin Bacon was awesome as Balto from 1995 Balto, Charlie Sheen as Charlie from 1996 All Dogs go to Heaven 2 was charming and awesome.
You should’ve included Dave Foley as Flik in A Bug’s Life that was amazing
YES! Robin Williams is #1!!
I seem to recall hearing Angela Langsbury actually was hesitant and extremely nervous to sing her own part. Not because she didn't know how to sing, but wasn't sure she was past her prime.
Of course Robin’s performance is top notch! There’ll never be a friend like him, forever cherished.
There’s also a shout out to Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts from Beauty and the Beast too! She was phenomenal imo.
There are no words to described Robin as the Genie. A tribute to his genius indeed.
Let’s hope the famous Tom Hanks will voice Woody one last time for the 5th and the final ‘Toy Story’ movie possibly during the 30th anniversary of the entire ‘Toy Story’ film franchise.
Mushu, the red dragon voiced by the comedy legend himself: Eddie Murphy.
😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a trip down memory lane👏🏼👏🏼
This is a good list. But I would have added Sean Connery since his role as Draco from Dragonheart was amazing! These voice acting performances don't have to come from animated films alone.
So true: “ To the stars, to the stars!”❤
Absolutely, didn't take that one into account yet, but definitely up there
I would have said James Gardner from Atlantis as well
Alright Sparky. Here's the deal. Robin Williams is Awesome🤣🤣
5:01 not only Val Kilmer voices Moses, but he did the burning bush.
Jeremy Irons as Scar shows that even if you don't see his actual face, he will always be a great villain. Also, actually didn't know Tim Curry was in Ferngully, only big name I remember from that one is Robin Williams as the bat, learned something today lol
Eddie Murphy was hilarious as Mushu 🤣🤣🤣
Comedy gold without a doubt.
Donkey's a laugh riot. He's always funny.
@@joshmontemayor1212 yeah 🤣
Irons, in the lion King, actually attempted to sing "Be Prepared" but had to bow out halfway through to turn over to a professional singer.
Hes so impressive!
The person who took over was jim cunning’s the person who did Winnie the Pooh
Many incredible voice performances. Robin Williams as Genie will always be the most amazing
For me the best are: Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks as Woody, Eddie Murphy as Mushu and Robin Williams as the Genie
*I had no idea Minnie driver played Jane from Tarzan. BRUH! I can’t I see it now.*
I miss Robin Williams so much. Great man
Honorable mentions:
James Earl Jones as Scar (The Lion King)
Gilbert Gottfried as Iago (Aladdin)
Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)
Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm)
John Ratzenberger as Hamm (Toy Story)
Ming-Na Wen as Mulan (Mulan)
Danny DeVito as Phil (Hercules)
I was hoping Kevin Spacey should be in the top pick or an honorable mention as Hopper in A Bug's Life. He was one of my favorite Pixar villains and Spacey's performance was incredible. He really nailed it 👏👏👏
he's a bad egg, friend. his crimes have overshadowed any talent he had. despicable human
155: I was born in the late 90’s. I love the animated movies in those years
I’m shocked Gilbert gotfried wasn’t on the list as his iconic performance as iago. Maybe you were going for one character per movie. But still he should have at least been an honorable mention.
Robin Williams... The Man...the Myth...The Legend. His legacy will never die. Plus I didn't know that Jeff Goldblum who was the actor as Ian from Jurassic Park was the voice as Aaron. That caught me off guard.😂
Susan Egan was also part of the OBC of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast as Belle. 😁🤭🤗🥰😍
What about Jodie Benson as Ariel of the Little Mermaid?
By far the happiest thing I’ve seen in my TH-cam recommendations list!
HOW IS CREE SUMMER VOICING PRINCESS KIDA IN ATLANTIS NOT EVEN AN HONOURABLE MENTION?! 💀
CREE SUMMER DID THAT!?
Atlantis came out in 2001
I love the prince of Egypt! Robin Williams as the genie for sure and Ralph fiennes as Ramses would def be on my list
For I think my favourite voice acting is Anastasia
Even though i was born in the late 90's i grew up listening to most of these actors (not really, i was born in Colombia, a place were movies present in theatres in spanish) but, this was a nice top nonetheless. Happy wednesday afternoon Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.
These are all incredible movies and they will never, ever get old
love all these voice actors ❤
Having Robin Williams in your movie was like getting 15 other actors in one. Man was a comedic genius!!
Jeremy Irons is my favorite disney villian
I would add Nathan Lane as Timon of “The Lion King”. He brought humor and light heartedness to a movie that would be very dark without it.
Tony Jay as Judge Claude Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame should've been on this list.
Yeah I'm kind of shocked they went with Jason Alexander, Tony Jay is just incredible, his voice gives me chills.
James Wood as Hades is GOAT.
Everyone in Prince of Egypt is amazing!
Ralph not only played the iconic dark lord Voldemort but played the legendary Rameses 2 in prince of Egypt that was the only time I heard him sing
... Jack Skellington wasn't the mayor...
Tim Curry as Hexxus defines my childhood and needs to be higher up!!
Mushu saying "that's close enough" always makes me laugh 😂
Yeah, no one was beating Genie. I still remember his dialogues word for word.
Jeremy Irons can put words in my mouth anytime! 😍
Ahhhh one of the top reasons why animation is my favorite genre: the amazing voice performances just amazing!!! brava!!especially in Disney and ofc Anastasia and the amazing Prince of Egypt
Can you do Top 10 Best Voice Acting Performances in 80's Movies?
okay Jack Skellington or Vin Disel should be in the top ten not the gargoyles, the voice actor may be decent, and Quasi did need someone to bounce off of, but the gargoyles are universally hated characters, because of the way their comedic tone clashes with the rest of what is otherwise a very serious and dark movie (at least by Disney standards)
ralph fiennes, jeremy irons, james woods, eddy murphy bodied their roles!! i am also due to watch every single movie on this list 😎
honestly Anastasia is the only one out of these that i watched in english, so i wouldn't be able to tell any of these without looking it up😅👍
Jeremy Irons as Scar was one of the best. James Earl Jones as Mufasa
was also great. of course you can't forget Robin Williams as Genie. one
of my favorite Disney characters ever!!
Fantastic voice acting!😁Jason Alexander as Hugo, James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons are epic😁 Ralph is fantastic! Robin is completely amazing! Fantastic! I'm so honored I watched this movies Beautiful years :) Childhood😁 This was Disney,this was love. Beautiful :)
