question is what would he want with a
toy maker these actors aren’t only
physically talented but vocally as well
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
best celebrity voice performances in
animated films now yoga pray for mercy
puss for this list we’re taking into
account the Flair and passion these
actors put into the shotgun microphones
celebrities must be normally recognized
for their live-action work but also able
to bring energy to their hand-drawn or
CGI characters in a way that we just
can’t live without and just between us
you might want to work on that little
roar of yours
number 10 Jerry Orbach as Lamia Beauty
and the Beast
this is lumia Oh Shantae Chevy following
a long-standing career as a stage and TV
star this bronx-born actor adopted a
French accent to play a mischievous
candlestick in this Disney flick good so
you fall in love with her
she falls in love with you and poof the
spell is broken
we’ll be human again by midnight not to
outshine Angela Lansbury and her
beautiful rendition of the film’s
signature song the little scare
not a one prepared the UT and the Beast
but Jerry Orbach is the only character
to channel the French roots of the
original story you can count on the
amount every time whether he’s arguing
with the pompous Cogsworth or flirting
insistently with other household items
we only live to serve try the gray stuff
it’s delicious don’t believe me ask the
dishes the uncrowned champion of comic
relief characters or Bach’s performance
really drives home the sensation of
Lumia be our guest be our guest put our
service to the test tie your napkin
around your neck Cherie and we provide
the rest number 9 George Clooney as mr.
FF foxy Fox fantastic mr. Fox because
I’m a wild animal he’s the man
synonymous with the phrase movie star so
we had to constantly remind ourselves
that he is the one playing the lead in
this stop-motion flick the greatest the
quote unquote fantastic mr. Fox
described as a natural choice by Wes
Anderson Clooney’s charm adds a certain
gentlemanly quality to the already
fantastic titular Fox
unlike other animated films the voices
were recorded on location in an old
farmhouse to get the most natural
performances and as an attempt to
replicate the movies mood you really are
kind of a quote unquote fantastic
I try as a result the comedy boasts the
swab nature of Clooney’s character
recounting the group’s bizarre heist
capers it’s almost like the remake of
Ocean’s eleven hey wait a minute it was
last time you were in Vegas what you
want to knock over to scene number eight
Steve Carell as felonious GRU the
despicable Me franchise I know how much
you like to laugh known for his
live-action roles in romantic comedies
and as an awkward manager on TVs the
office ah what better choice is there to
play a gruff and foolish jelly
manufacturer slash super villain it’s
like my heart is tooth in the scottie
cavity which can only be filled with
children almost indistinguishable as his
previous 40 year old virgin Steve
Carell’s Russian like accent is dead-on
and presents a mad cartoon doctor
perfectly in these 3d computer-animated
comedies
we are going to steal
his performance channels the great Mel
Blanc in Gru’s outlandish reactions to
his failures and comeuppance –is but
also provides a softer quality for his
more sympathetic moments and it is the
waswas that I am book maid weaving in
and out of his tones Carell never loses
the cartoon taste of his performance and
that can only be a great thing you need
is a bedtime story no number seven Kevin
Spacey as hopper a bug’s life no get
back in line he is one of the most
versatile actors on this list having
played a malicious politician and a
mythological serial killer but now in
this comedy adventure he plays a
villainous grasshopper a first rule of
leadership everything is your fault
it’s a buggy bug world out there
princess we know from house of cards and
American Beauty that Spacey is no
stranger to living a role in his vocal
patterns but Hopper was the first time
he’d really done so only through his
voice a piece of dirt no I’m wrong
you’re lower than dirt urine and the
oscar-winning actor mixes cold almost
hoarse textures to bring out a shadowy
tension in his performance as hopper
making it one of Pixar’s most
intimidating voice performances to date
you let one ant stand up to us then they
all might stand up number six
Billy Crystal as Michael Mike Wazowski
the Monsters Inc franchise now for the
flipside of Pixar performances with one
of the best uses of comedic voice acting
when it comes to the good guys of a film
the kids wait upon first look Billy
Crystal seems out of place as the
one-liners spouting one-eyed monster but
upon closer inspection his performance
actually brings a much-needed balance to
John Goodman’s kind yet deep voice as
Sulley you and I retained
that is more important than our
friendship the energy and excitement the
actor brings is not just what makes him
good though when leading the 2013
prequel crystal digs out a lighter and
softer tone for his more sympathetic
moments hey no I was scary I didn’t know
I was that scary in which ever
circumstance Mike Wazowski finds himself
Krystal adapts to put forward the best
possible chemistry the team of Wazowski
and Sullivan are gonna change the world
starting today say scream three number
five Ellen DeGeneres as dory Finding
Nemo
hi I’m dory speaking of chemistry how do
you make an uptight clownfish and a
mind-numbing fool work this well
together can I help you something’s
wrong with you
really obviously most known for her talk
show these days Ellen DeGeneres uses a
playful innocence to combat the harsher
tones of Albert Brooks Marlin the
clownfish in this Pixar flick when life
gets you down you know what you gotta do
I don’t know what you gotta do just keep
swimming just keep swimming just keep
swimming swimming swimming what do we do
we swim swim her lighter optimism is so
unique to the tone of the film that when
thinking of DeGeneres’s big screen work
she is practically synonymous with her
character of dory which has led to a
sequel being developed I’m sorry but I
really really really think we should
swim through and I’m really really done
talking about this over we go come on
trust me on this number four Mike Meyers
as Shrek the Shrek franchise why are you
following me
while his previous characters were
eccentric yet one-dimensional shrek is a
package of vicious loneliness and
sarcasm yet also a kinder soul all
effectively demonstrated through the
actors voice of course really no not to
say that his performance isn’t helped by
Eddie Murphy as the dim-witted doggie as
the pairings mishaps are only
complemented by their bond as talented
voice actors why don’t you go celebrate
your freedom with your own friends hmm
but uh I don’t have any friends shrek is
not only one of the best voice
performances by a celebrity but also one
that enhances Mike Myers career rather
than simply being a side gig
we’re we’re we number three Jeremy Irons
as Skaar The Lion King oh yeah I’ve said
too much
well I suppose you two found out sooner
or later this Britain born actor brings
a brilliant gravitas to the greedy
brother of Mufasa in this musical epic
kill him
the foppish villain of the animal
kingdom has a voice talent more in
common with a Shakespearean tale than a
Disney film much like the story itself
actually no single piece but it’s the
quarrels between Jeremy Irons and his
on-screen brother James Earl Jones that
propel our ears to bliss both presenting
a strong clash of bellowing and snarly
voices brother help me we love Jeremy
Irons particularly for the way his voice
almost dances through his plots
especially when he informs dear Simba of
his most famous surprise he is my little
secret number two Tim Allen as Buzz
Lightyear the Toy Story franchise
I am Buzz Lightyear I come in peace
clearly this voice performance will go
sailing to infinity and beyond
to infinity and beyond these favorites
of the Pixar films are highlighted by
the delusional Space Ranger turned
heroic children’s toy with Tim Allen at
the microphone I just want you to know
that even though you tried to terminate
me
revenge is not an idea we promote on my
planet
oh well that’s good but we’re not on my
planet are we Buzz Lightyear’s deep
charming voice is only enhanced with the
help of Tom Hanks
as his cowboy best friend my name is
woody and this is Andy’s room Hanks
upbeat and friendly performance
complements the more gentlemanly vigor
of Tim Allen to the point where they’ll
both have a friend and us any day and
you my friend are responsible for delay
in my rendezvous with Stark a man
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
Shh we’re hiding be quiet everyone
including me Shh who’s making that noise

you’d have to call me a Renaissance and
great anyway see ladies I’ve shut this
party and I lost right yeah I know you
know so here’s the deal
Zeus mr. high and mighty mr. hey you get
off of my clouds Pocahontas

Warrior
number one Robin Williams as the genie
Aladdin
10,000 years we’ll give you a such a
crick in the neck
Alibaba had 40 thieves and Scheherazade
had a thousand tales but there will only
ever be one Robin Williams button
hello Landon nice to have you on the
show can we call you al or maybe just
din
how about lattes in mrs. Doubtfire the
comedian states that he does voices and
he’s correct I do voices what do you
mean you do voices Ben I do voices
his ecstatic performance is such a
powerful addition to this musical
fantasy that it almost changes tone
entirely once the genie is introduced
what would you wish me he ever
impressive but never duplicate not only
that but his high-octane manner drives
the second half so much the Disney aired
the movie on TV in tribute to Williams
following his 2014 death n there’s no
arguing the actor and comedian deserved
all the honor and praise he has received
