00:00James Earl Jones provides the voice of the great King Mufasa, who rules the animal kingdom from Pride Rock.
00:06A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun.
00:10Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:12And today, we're counting down our picks for the 20 most notable animated movies with insanely talented voice casts.
00:18Now I understand. You're in love with hell.
00:23Number 20. Epic.
00:25The cast has been so awesome.
00:27People from all sorts of movies and entertainment.
00:30It's called epic for a reason.
00:32Blue Sky Studios assembled a massive ensemble for this mini-fantasy adventure.
00:36While Josh Hutcherson and Amanda Seyfried lead the charge as the young heroes,
00:40the supporting roster is a bizarre mix of serious thespians and pop culture icons.
00:45You have Colin Farrell bringing intense gravitas to the stoic warrior Ronin,
00:49while Christoph Waltz oozes sophistication as the villainous Mandrake.
00:53On the comedy front, Aziz Ansari and Chris O'Dowd steal every scene they're in as a bantering slug and snail
00:59duo,
01:00while Jason Sudeikis plays the eccentric Professor Bomba.
01:03If that wasn't enough star power, the forest is populated by music royalty.
01:07Steven Tyler, Pitbull, and Beyoncé all lend their voices to key characters,
01:12making this cast list feel like a fever dream of 2013 celebrity culture.
01:16I've never done an animated film, and it was very liberating to not have cameras.
01:20There can be a pressure when a camera's looking at you.
01:23Number 19. Rise of the Guardians.
01:26We'll always be there, Jamie.
01:28And now, we'll always be here.
01:33Which kind of makes you a Guardian, too.
01:36When DreamWorks decided to turn childhood legends into an Avenger-style action team,
01:41they knew they needed a cast with heavy-hitting charisma.
01:44Chris Pine anchors the film with a rebellious energy as Jack Frost,
01:48but it's the reimagined icons surrounding him that truly shine.
01:51Alec Baldwin completely transforms into a sword-wielding Russian-accented Santa Claus,
01:56while Hugh Jackman leans hard into his natural Australian grit as the boomerang-throwing Easter Bunny.
02:01Isla Fisher provides the manic energy for the Tooth Fairy,
02:04and they all face off against Jude Law,
02:06who delivers a genuinely chilling performance as the boogeyman Pitch Black.
02:10With such A-list talent committing fully to these reinvented roles,
02:14the film has earned a dedicated cult following for its performances alone.
02:18We are very busy bringing joy to children.
02:21We don't have time...
02:24for children.
02:26Number 18. B-Movie.
02:28How should I start it?
02:30You like jazz?
02:32No, that's not good.
02:32Forget the memes for a second and just look at this cast.
02:36It's legit.
02:37Jerry Seinfeld obviously spearheaded the project, starring as Barry B. Benson,
02:41and he brought along Renee Zellweger to play the human florist Vanessa.
02:44But the hive is absolutely buzzing with an inexplicable level of talent.
02:48You have Matthew Broderick as Barry's best friend,
02:51John Goodman as the blustering Southern lawyer Leighton T. Montgomery,
02:54and comedic legends like Chris Rock and Patrick Warverton rounding out the cast.
02:58The film gets even stranger with cameos from Ray Liotta and Sting,
03:02who play exaggerated villainous versions of themselves.
03:05Throw in Oprah Winfrey as the judge for good measure,
03:08and you have a surreal, star-studded legal drama that is truly unbelievable.
03:13Sorry, we had to.
03:14Hey, keeper, I find that to be a very interesting term.
03:17I don't imagine you employ any beef freers, do you?
03:20Number 17, Madagascar III, Europe's Most Wanted.
03:24The first person we meet is Vitaly, who is the Russian tiger,
03:29and he's voiced by Bryan Cranston.
03:32Never go back to the way it used to be.
03:34I was, I became Italian.
03:38The original quartet was already iconic by the time this third installment rolled around,
03:43but the European setting allowed the filmmakers to double down on prestige talent.
03:47This chapter added serious dramatic weight,
03:49with Bryan Cranston voicing the intimidating, knife-throwing tiger Vitale,
03:53and Jessica Chastain as the sleek jaguar Gia.
03:56Martin Short also brings absolutely manic, high-speed energy to Stefano the sea lion,
04:01but the real standout here is Frances McDormand.
04:03She completely steals the show as the relentless, French-singing animal control officer Captain Dubois.
04:09Combined with Sacha Baron Cohen's returning fan-favorite King Julian,
04:13this cast list is a crowded passport full of Hollywood royalty
04:16that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
04:19It's obvious I'm just an emotional whoopee cushion for you to sit on.
04:24When you look for where I am, I won't be there.
04:28Number 16, The Super Mario Brothers Movie.
04:32Dad, what did you think?
04:34I think you're nuts.
04:37You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream,
04:41and the worst part, you're bringing your brother down with you.
04:45Well, thanks, Dad.
04:47Nintendo's long-awaited return to the big screen came armed with a Bowser-sized call sheet
04:51that dominated pop culture headlines.
04:54Chris Pratt and Charlie Day step into the plumbing boots of Mario and Luigi,
04:57while Anya Taylor-Joy gives Princess Peach a capable modern edge.
05:01And that's to say nothing of the villains and supporting cast.
05:04Jack Black unleashes his full rock star energy as Bowser,
05:07turning a video game boss into a musical theater icon with Peaches.
05:11And then, of course, there's comedy greats like Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong,
05:14Keegan-Michael Key as Toad,
05:16and Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong.
05:18Even the original voice of Mario, Charles Martinet,
05:21makes an appearance as the brother's father,
05:22ensuring that this film serves as a bridge between generations of gaming fans.
05:27There was such a natural fit to cast Charlie's Luigi.
05:30I'm pretty good at plumbing.
05:32Definitely, you know, we have that in common.
05:35I also love Italian food.
05:37Number 15. Kung Fu Panda
05:39Wait, wait. It's just plain old noodle soup?
05:42You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
05:45Don't have to.
05:46To make something special, you just have to believe it's special.
05:51Jack Black was born to play Poe,
05:53but DreamWorks made the brilliant decision to surround his comedic energy
05:57with a furious vibe of serious action stars.
06:00The group boasts the incredible talents of Angelina Jolie,
06:03Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, and David Cross,
06:07giving the team an immediate sense of legitimacy.
06:09Dustin Hoffman brings exasperated gravitas to Master Shifu,
06:13providing the perfect straight man to Black's antics.
06:15On the villainous side,
06:16Ian McShane voices the snow leopard Tai Lung
06:18with a menacing Shakespearean baritone that raises the stakes.
06:22With the legendary James Hong as Mr. Ping
06:24and brief appearances by Michael Clarke Duncan,
06:26every character in the Valley of Peace sounds like a legend,
06:29making this one of the most perfectly cast martial arts films ever,
06:33animated or otherwise.
06:35Ian's amazing.
06:35Ian can go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
06:39He comes in as the nicest guy in the world,
06:42and then he becomes Tai Lung.
06:43Tai! Oh! Ha!
06:46Number 14, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse.
06:49Oscar's one of the world's best actors.
06:52He's got such a presence,
06:54and that presence is evident in his voice.
06:57Expanding the multiverse naturally meant expanding the cast.
07:00While Shameik Moore and Haley Steinfeld return to ground the story,
07:03the sequel introduces an overwhelming amount of top-tier talent.
07:07Oscar Isaac brings a terrifying intensity to Miguel O'Hara,
07:10while Jason Schwartzman voices the chaotic, dimension-hopping villain, The Spot.
07:15The Spider Society is also packed with heavy hitters like Issa Rae as a no-nonsense spider-woman,
07:20and Daniel Kaluuya as the rebellious spider-punk.
07:22We even get Andy Samberg in a hilarious turn as Scarlet Spider,
07:26and a brief reprise for Mahershala Ali.
07:28It's a web of talent that stretches across every dimension,
07:32ensuring that even the smallest background Spideys feel like main characters.
07:36Just breathe.
07:37We got you.
07:38Right, Miguel?
07:42Lila, scan this mess.
07:45Number 13. Shark Tale
07:47Dive into the imaginary world of DreamWorks animated comedy Shark Tale,
07:51with an all-star cast that's off the hook,
07:54including Will Smith as Oscar,
07:56a fast-talking little fish who tells a great white lie.
07:59Love it or hate it,
08:00you cannot deny the overwhelming star power submerged in this reef.
08:04Shark Tale is essentially a time capsule of early 2000s A-listers.
08:08Will Smith brings his trademark Fresh Prince swagger to Oscar,
08:11riffing perfectly off of Robert De Niro as mob boss shark Don Lino,
08:15a role specifically meant to spoof his own career.
08:18The romantic entanglements feature the voices of Renée Zellweger and Angelina Jolie,
08:22while Jack Black plays against type as the gentle vegetarian shark Lenny.
08:26But perhaps the most bizarre and impressive catch is legendary director Martin Scorsese,
08:31who lends his voice to the fast-talking pufferfish Sykes.
08:34Cute shark movie for kids meets Goodfellas.
08:36This movie pushed the concept of celebrity voice casting to its absolute limit.
08:40I never told you to do this,
08:41but you're the best henchman a guy I ever had.
08:44Come on, group hug.
08:46Ow!
08:47Hey!
08:47Sorry, man, sorry.
08:48Come, Sykes.
08:49Try again, man.
08:50Don't fret.
08:50Come on.
08:50Oh, forget it.
08:51The moment's gone.
08:52Number 12.
08:53Isle of Dogs.
08:54Oracle is a pug,
08:57specifically a companion breed pug.
09:00This breed is often described by the Latin phrase multum in parvo,
09:06or much in little,
09:08or a lot of dog in a small space.
09:12Wes Anderson's second stop-motion feature operates as a who's who of his frequent collaborators,
09:17resulting in one of the most stacked casts in animation history.
09:20Bryan Cranston leads the pack as the gruff stray chief,
09:23barking alongside a squad that includes Edward Norton,
09:26Bill Murray,
09:27Jeff Goldblum,
09:27and Bob Balaban.
09:28The human cast is just as impressive,
09:31featuring Greta Gerwig,
09:32Frances McDormand,
09:33and Yoko Ono.
09:34Scarlett Johansson adds Allure as the show dog Nutmeg,
09:37while Tilda Swinton and F. Murray Abraham add their distinctive eccentric tones to the mix.
09:42It's a quirky and deadpan ensemble that only Anderson could herd together,
09:46creating a film where every single bark is delivered either by an Oscar nominee or a cinema legend.
09:51You hungry?
09:53Kill something and eat it.
09:54You sick?
09:55Take a long nap.
09:56You cold, dig a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and bury yourself.
10:00But nobody's giving up around here, and don't you forget it.
10:03Ever.
10:04Number 11.
10:05Hoppers.
10:06Hey!
10:07What's your name, Beaver?
10:08Uh, Mabel?
10:09You want to live here?
10:10You better learn pond rules.
10:12What are pond rules?
10:13Oh, I am clear in the rest of the day.
10:16Let's hear it for Mabel, everyone!
10:18Pixar's latest release features a cast that will have you jumping for joy.
10:22Piper Curtis stars as Mabel,
10:23a girl who transfers her mind into a robotic beaver to infiltrate the animal kingdom.
10:28While she anchors the film, the supporting animals are where the casting director truly had fun.
10:33Comedy veteran Bobby Moynihan voices the beaver King George,
10:36who faces off against a smooth-talking mare voiced by the always suave Jon Hamm.
10:41The film pulls out the big guns for its villain,
10:43with none other than Meryl Streep voicing the insect queen,
10:46proving once again that she can play literally anybody, or anything.
10:50With additional voices from Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, and Vanessa Bayer,
10:55Hoppers proves that Pixar can still attract the industry's best talent to their pond.
10:59Let's squish the humans!
11:02Wait, uh...
11:03Squish?
11:04They squish us! Why shouldn't we squish one of them?
11:07Uh, I really don't think we need to go all the way to squish.
11:10Number 10. Sing.
11:12Everyone in the city gets a shot at being a star, live on my stage!
11:17Buster, this is a terrible idea!
11:19Matthew McConaughey leads this massive animated ensemble piece as Buster Moon,
11:24a koala who puts on a singing competition.
11:26Everyone in this city gets a shot at being a star, live on my stage!
11:31As the title suggests, the film has no shortage of musically inclined performers,
11:36including Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Seth MacFarlane,
11:40and American Idol alumnus Tori Kelly.
11:43Really?
11:44Uh, yeah, I mean, no.
11:47I mean, yes, yeah, I can sing, but, no, I get, I get so nervous.
11:52Taron Egerton can also be heard singing I'm Still Standing.
11:56Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
12:00Predating his turn as Elton John in the biopic Rocket Man by three years.
12:05I'm still standing!
12:06Nick Kroll is especially unrecognizable as Gunter the German Pig.
12:11Yeah, yeah, see?
12:12Forget the steps and just, like, let the music take control of your body parts.
12:18If you listen closely, you can even spot Edgar Wright as a goat and Wes Anderson as a giraffe.
12:24The two of us need to look no more...
12:28With additional supporting work from John C. Reilly, Nick Offerman, and Leslie Jones,
12:34Sing is proof that there are no small parts, only small animals.
12:39Number 9.
12:40Anastasia
12:41This Don Bluth film pulled out all the stops with its celebrity cast.
12:45I was surprised to learn that we would do the recording first and they would animate later.
12:48I don't know why I thought so much of it would be done to picture.
12:52Four performers brought the titular heroine to life, with Meg Ryan voicing adult Anastasia,
12:58while Liz Calloway provided her singing chops.
13:01And a song someone sings
13:09Once upon a December
13:14Young Anya was voiced by Kirsten Dunst,
13:16but that's Gretchen Wiener's herself, Lacey Chabert, singing Once Upon a December.
13:21Once upon a December
13:26John Cusack and Kelsey Grammer voice Dimitri and Vlad respectively.
13:30Do you see what I see?
13:32No.
13:33Two good-hearted con artists looking to make a buck off Anya's grandmama,
13:38voiced by the invaluable Angela Lansbury.
13:41They're very dependent on us and the way we read a line to draw the character.
13:47So in a way, our contribution is a little bit more than we think it's going to be.
13:52She's not the only member of Broadway royalty, as Bernadette Peters voiced Sophie.
13:57Vladimir Vanyavonitsky, Vasilowicz.
14:02Well, this is unexpected.
14:06Christopher Lloyd is deliciously villainous as Rasputin.
14:10I sold my soul for this.
14:12While Hank Azaria won an Annie for his work as Bartok.
14:16Let's be big adults about this and let bygones be bygones, huh?
14:20You might even hear J.K. Simmons and Billy Porter's voices in the ensemble.
14:25Number 8.
14:26Sausage Party
14:38It may look like Pixar on the surface,
14:41but Sausage Party is a hard-R Seth Rogen comedy at its core.
14:45Rogen brings along several other Team Apatow members,
14:49including Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, James Franco, Danny McBride, Paul Rudd, and Craig Robinson.
14:55If only Jay Baruchel and Emma Watson popped up,
14:58we could have had a This Is The End reunion.
15:00Out there in your travels,
15:03did you see anything that you would describe as apocalyptic?
15:07I mean, no, but I would say it's completely obvious what's going on here.
15:13Some voices are easily recognizable,
15:15like Salma Hayek as Teresa Del Taco,
15:17or Kristen Wiig as the bun of Frank's affection.
15:21Finally going to be official.
15:22I'm so happy the gods put our packages together.
15:24It's because we belong together.
15:26It's like we were made for each other.
15:28However, we bet you didn't know that's Bill Hader as the Native American liquor bottle.
15:32We were as shocked as anyone to learn that Edward Norton voiced Sammy Bagel Jr.
15:38I'm Sammy Bagel Jr.
15:40I'm happy to meet all of you.
15:42Then there's good old Nick Kroll again,
15:44voicing, let's call him a feminine hygiene product.
15:47Somebody call a doctor, because honestly, this beef is sick.
15:50Number 7.
15:51Happy Feet
15:52You can never have enough Robin Williams,
15:54and Happy Feet sees him tackle multiple roles,
15:57including the loud-mouthed Ramon and larger-than-life Lovelace.
16:01Put your flippers up, fluff him up a little bit,
16:04and give him a great big hug.
16:06Re-teaming with director George Miller,
16:09E.G. Daly goes from voicing Babe the Gallant Pig
16:11to Mumble the Penguin as a baby.
16:13Elijah Wood takes over as Grown-Up Mumble,
16:16giving the tap-dancing penguin an underdog spirit.
16:19Oh, hi, Gloria.
16:21Between Wood and Hugo Weaving as Noah the Elder,
16:24it's almost like an Antarctic Lord of the Rings.
16:26Pray, brothers, the great Gwen does not test us with a lean season.
16:30The cast is rounded out by a colony of seasoned singers,
16:34from Nicole Kidman as Mumble's mother,
16:36to Hugh Jackman as his Elvis-esque father,
16:39to the late Brittany Murphy as Gloria.
16:41Mumble, what could you possibly be thinking?
16:43This was also the last film featuring Steve Irwin,
16:46who recorded his lines as Trev before his tragic death.
16:50You wouldn't be heading over them distant hills
16:53and through the blizzard country.
16:55Number 6. Shrek 2
16:57With Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and Trolls,
17:00DreamWorks has a reputation for attracting giant names.
17:04Just an amazing group of actors.
17:07Shrek's star-studded follow-up
17:09naturally saw the return of Mike Myers as the titular ogre,
17:12Cameron Diaz as Fiona,
17:14and Eddie Murphy as Donkey,
17:16each receiving $10 million up front.
17:19Mom and Dad?
17:20Prince Charming.
17:22Royal Paul!
17:23Antonio Banderas steals the show,
17:25going from Zorro to Puss in Boots.
17:27Pray for mercy from...
17:31Puss!
17:32A bullet?
17:33Meanwhile, Julie Andrews went from Queen of Genovia
17:36to Queen of Far, Far Away.
17:38Well, I suppose that will be a fine place to raise the children.
17:41John Cleese may have passed on the chance to voice Cogsworth,
17:44but he got to play true animated royalty as King Harold here.
17:48An ogre from a swamp.
17:50Oh, how original.
17:51Jennifer Saunders' fairy godmother
17:53and Rupert Everett's Prince Charming
17:55turn in wicked performances.
17:57But that's only the tip of the tower.
17:59From Joan Rivers to Larry King as the ugly stepsister,
18:02Far, Far Away has more star power than Hollywood.
18:06Number 5.
18:07The Lego Movie
18:08Many underestimated The Lego Movie,
18:11but the voice cast alone screamed comedic genius.
18:14How can you go wrong with Chris Pratt,
18:17Elizabeth Banks,
18:18Will Ferrell,
18:19Alison Brie,
18:20Charlie Day,
18:21and Nick Offerman in key roles?
18:23I had to replace every part of my once strapping,
18:26virile pirate body
18:27with this useless hunk of garbage you see before you.
18:31Even actors who are better known for their dramatic chops,
18:34like Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman,
18:36are hilarious.
18:37Because the only thing anyone needs to be special
18:40is to believe that you can be.
18:42I know that sounds like a cat poster,
18:45but it's true.
18:46The Justice League has never been funnier,
18:49with Will Arnett as Batman
18:50and Kobe Smulders as Wonder Woman.
18:52Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill reunite
18:54as Superman and Green Lantern, respectively.
18:56Can't get much worse than this.
18:59Uh, hello, neighbor.
19:00Oh no.
19:01It's Green Lantern.
19:02Oh my gosh, we're roommates.
19:04How crazy is that?
19:05Does anyone have some kryptonite that they could give me?
19:08Makes sense,
19:09as Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
19:11also directed 21 Jump Street.
19:13What's up?
19:14What up?
19:14What's up?
19:14Who wants one?
19:16That's not the only Lord Miller connection,
19:18as Will Forte revisits his clone high days
19:21as Honest Abe.
19:22A house divided against itself
19:24would be better than this.
19:26Cameos keep coming,
19:27with Anthony Daniels,
19:28Billy Dee Williams,
19:30and Shaq.
19:30Y'all ready for this?
19:34Oh no!
19:35They were ready for that.
19:36Number 4.
19:37The Prince of Egypt.
19:38In my heart, you are my brother.
19:41But things cannot be as they were.
19:44I see no reason why not.
19:46Adapting from the Book of Exodus,
19:48DreamWorks needed an epic voice cast
19:51to match the source material's gravitas.
19:53Be still, Pharaoh speaks.
19:55After all,
19:571956's The Ten Commandments
19:58had Oscar winners like Charlton Heston,
20:00Yul Brynner,
20:01and Anne Baxter.
20:03DreamWorks found an equally biblical cast
20:05with Val Kilmer giving Moses an everyman quality,
20:08Ralph Fiennes bringing out Ramesses' complex nature,
20:11and Michelle Pfeiffer supplying Sephora
20:13with a fiery spirit.
20:15Well, that's one I've never heard before.
20:17Steve Martin and Martin Short
20:19provide comedic relief.
20:21While Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum
20:23lend their voices to Moses' siblings.
20:25I knew he would return to us when he was ready.
20:27Miriam, do you want us flying?
20:28The cast is only made more prestigious
20:30with Patrick Stewart as Pharaoh Seti,
20:32Helen Mirren as the Queen,
20:34and Danny Glover as Jethro.
20:36First you rescue Sephora from Egypt,
20:39then you defend my younger daughters from Briggins.
20:43You think that is nothing?
20:45Kilmer additionally voices God,
20:47creating an especially poignant parallel
20:49between the Almighty and Moses.
20:51Take the sandals from your feet,
20:55for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
20:59Number 3.
21:00Fantastic Mr. Fox
21:01Wes Anderson films always have stacked casts,
21:05and his animated features are no exception.
21:08Fantastic Mr. Fox assembles many of Anderson's usual suspects,
21:12such as Jason Schwartzman,
21:14Bill Murray,
21:15Owen Wilson,
21:16Willem Dafoe,
21:17Michael Gambon,
21:18and Adrian Brody.
21:20Anderson himself even voices Stan Weasel.
21:22Obviously it's first growth,
21:24indigenous,
21:24original dirt floor,
21:26good bark,
21:27skipping stone,
21:28hearth as you can see.
21:29The film marked Anderson's first collaboration with George Clooney,
21:32who was tailor-made to voice the cool and clever,
21:35not to mention fantastic,
21:37Mr. Fox.
21:38Good jump, Ash.
21:39Remember to keep your tail tucked.
21:40Cate Blanchett ultimately backed out as Felicity Fox,
21:43but it's hard to complain when the replacement is Meryl Streep.
21:47Of course.
21:48In fact, Rabbit's ex-girlfriend just said to me last week,
21:50I should read Foxy's column,
21:52but they don't get the Gazette.
21:53Adding to the authenticity of the animal characters,
21:56Anderson decided to record dialogue outside.
21:59I don't think I can stomach any more of this garbage.
22:02Exactly the same here.
22:03Words out of my mouth.
22:04Number 2.
22:05Toy Story 4.
22:06Everyone, I want you to meet Forky.
22:09Toy Story 4 brought back almost all the characters we've come to love,
22:13including Annie Potts' Bo Peep.
22:16Hey, nice find, girls.
22:18While we wish some fan favorites got more screen time,
22:21the film more than compensates with the introductions of Keanu Reeves' Duke Kaboom,
22:26Christina Hendricks' Gabby Gabby,
22:28and Key and Peel as Ducky and Bunny.
22:31Hey, up here, Astro Boy.
22:32If you think you can just show up and take our top prize spot,
22:36you're wrong.
22:37Dead wrong.
22:37Tony Hale even scored an Annie nomination for his lovable turn as Forky.
22:41I was made for soup, salad, maybe chili, and then the trash.
22:45I'm litter.
22:47Bonnie's toy collection isn't scarce of comedic legends,
22:50with Betty White, Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, and Carl Reiner making cameos.
22:55Remember when she played House?
22:57I liked House.
22:57Those were the days.
22:59It was basic.
23:00You made a house, you lived in it, done.
23:02That's the third time you haven't been picked this week.
23:04This would notably be the final film role for Reiner,
23:07while archival dialogue for the late Don Rickles was used for Mr. Potato Head.
23:12It's a reunion and a goodbye,
23:14with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen getting especially emotional.
23:17You sure?
23:18Hey, listen to your inner voice.

23:38Number 1.
23:39The Lion King
23:40Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
23:43Robin Williams popularized celebrity voiceover performances in Aladdin,
23:48but Disney's next animated feature set the gold standard for stacked voice casts.
23:53Between Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick,
23:56Simba evolves from Lion Cub to Lion King.
23:59You couldn't ask for a more commanding voice than James Earl Jones'
24:02a wiser voice than Robert Guillaume's,
24:05or a more devious voice than Jeremy Irons.
24:08Ooh, I quiver with fear.
24:12Speaking of which, Irons won an Annie Award for voicing Scar,
24:16although he got some help during Be Prepared from Jim Cummings, the voice of Ed.
24:20Be prepared!
24:23Before they were Timon and Pumbaa, Nathan Lane auditioned for Zazu,
24:27while Ernie Sabella tried out for a hyena.
24:30Jeez, it's a lion!
24:32Run, Pumbaa! Move it!
24:34Hey, Timon! It's just a little lion!
24:37With Rowan Atkinson, Cheech Marin, and Whoopi Goldberg, though,
24:40everyone took their rightful place in the circle of life.
24:44Well, well, well, Banzai, what have we got here?
24:47Hmm, I don't know, Shenzi.
24:50What do you think, Ed?
24:51Ooh!
24:52Ooh!
24:53Did you recognize the voices in these movies?
