      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.

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.

    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.

    -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%.

    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.

    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

    IMO one of the earliest celebrity voice actor performances that also definitely steals the show is Cliff Edwards as Jiminy Cricket in the 1940 version of "Pinocchio". Most people today probably don't know who he is but at the time he was a really popular singer. As for the DreamWorks films on this list, Jay Baruchel as Hiccup in the "How To Train Your Dragon" movies is definitely my favourite.

    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
