2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t forgotten about Brother Bear. It’s definitely one of my childhood Disney movies.
I love Brother Bear too… Koda is my favorite character
I love that movie. It was nostalgic for me
Brother bear is one of my top five favorite Disney movies
I love that they used Brother Bear as the thumbnail! It’s too underrated.
Love it and it still makes me cry
Always knew Matthew Broderick was Simba & Joaquin Phoenix was Kinai. Recently found out about Christian Bale being Thomas, but I loved him as Howl from Howls Moving Castle
I was mind blown when I found out he was Howl. Howl’s voice is so gentle and smooth, but Christian Bale does it justice.
@@MissSirenita it's an underrated voice acting performance. His Howl voice is so relaxing
Christian also played John in another Pocahontas adaptation! It's the cutest it's clear he loves the story of her!
Patrick Dempsey also did a fantastic job voicing Kenai in the sequel. I went for years not knowing that it was him, but I was happily surprised! Both he and Joaquin have such soothing warm voices.
Thanks for putting Treasure Planet on yet another Disney list by including Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jim Hawkins. The underrated masterpiece deserves to be on more and more Disney/animated movie lists like this, you know. However, you forgot to mention that Emma Thompson also did Captain Amelia in the same film as JGL.
Man they should do a live action remake to that film
@@andrewcabral963 How about a 3D theatrical re-release instead? 🤷♀
@@1992disney I'd be okay with either as long as they don't botch it.
Brother Bear was one of my top favorite movies during my childhood, and it still is. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal as Kenai
And Jason Alexander, the actor who plays George in Seinfeld & Stuckey in Pretty Woman (1990), is the voice of Hugo. One of the gargoyles in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996).
Emma Thompson was also the voice of Captain Amelia Smollet in Treasure Planet and Rick Moranis voiced Rutt in Brother Bear. And Tony Goldwyn also played Carl Bruner in Ghost.
I know and because of that I’ll forever see Tarzan killing esmareldas boyfriend
I didn't know she was in Harry Potter! I guess I wasn't paying attention.😶
I was surprised they didn't mention that.
I see Joaquin Phoenix, voice of Kenai and I love Brother Bear. I clicked
Brother Bear is one of my favorite animated movies. I'm glad it got mentioned in this. Thank you Joaquin Phoenix
Brother Bear is an underrated gem.
Kevin Bacon is the voice of Balto in 1995 even though it’s not Disney.
Feels awesome to see Brother Bear take the number one spot on this list
3:47 Did they seriously forget to mention James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa & Jeremy Irons as the voice of Scar?
Ironically, both Kenai and Joaquin Phoenix loses a brother. Kenai loses his old brother, Sitka and Phoenix loses his old brother, River too. I think that was the idea why he was chosen to play Kenai, because he knows the feeling of losing a brother.
'Don't worry, Joaquin. River it's now with the spirits of your elders'.
I can’t help but wonder if maybe the reason he didn’t voice Kenai in the sequel was because while he was proud of his work on the first, the concept of his character losing an older brother he loved dearly like he did reopened the wounds of him losing River.
Yeah I always found that pretty sadly ironic and coincidental too.
@@StealthMode3924 It could also be scheduling conflicts or he wanted to do a theatrical release movie but who knows?
That's not ironic, that's just coincidential. Ironic means contrary to what is expected, for example that Billy Bletcher voiced the large and intimidating Pete when he himself was only 5'2". Another example is that Al Pacino turned down a role in "GoodFellas" to avoid being typecast as a gangster, but ended up playing a gangster in "Dick Tracy" instead
@@andreasmeelie1889 that could be the case too, but you’d think he’d disclose his reason if it were something simple like that, at least in my opinion.
TONY GOLDWYN!!! His work in one of my favorite shows Scandal as an adult had me mesmorized! And as a child eating popcorn on the living room floor watching Tarzan i have tears in my eyes! THANK YOU MR GOLDWYN!!!
I remember him as the Clone on The 6th Day. That movie is awesome. 😁👍
Brother bear is an underrated masterpiece with one of the greatest soundtracks ever made by the great Phil Collins ❤
The music may be good, but the rest of the movie sucks.
Wow rude
Brother Bear is sooo underrated, so I’m glad it’s number one. Also, side note, I might be a little too obsessed with Treasure Planet then 😅 but it is my fav movie. Also underrated film
Brother Bear was so underrated, I felt Disney rushed that movie because they didn’t care for 2D animation anymore! They had Joaquin Phoenix and Rick Moranis, which was his most recent film role before he semiretired from acting! Disney barely even promoted that movie when it was released!
I actually remember memories of seeing the promotion a lot for Brother Bear though I wish it still did better.
It's not underrated. It and "Home on the Range" deservedly flopping are among the biggest reasons Disney dropped 2D animation in the first place.
@@andreasmeelie1889 it was promoted a lot on Disney channel or in trailers during Finding Nemo, but it didn’t have much promotion prior to its opening week, because Disney cut the marketing budget due to losses in 2D animated movies and it was one of their final 2D animated features!
@@Compucles Brother Bear is underrated, the movie is Disney’s last hurrah in 2D animation, their downfall actually started with The Emperor’s New Groove which underperformed and multiple box office bombs like Atlantis and Treasure Planet, which Disney decided to shut down anymore 2D productions after Brother Bear and Home on the Range! That’s because Disney had no faith in those movies so they severely cut marketing budgets to save lot of money for investing in CGI movies!
I only found out recently that Christian Bale voiced Thomas in "Pocahontas." Of course, that was before he became a major movie star.
he's also Howl in Howls Moving Castle
I agree I didn't know that either
Why isn't voice acting a catagory at the oscars.
Purists claim that it's inferior to live action acting due to only needing to voice the lines, but while that may technically be true, there's still a lot of work and talent that goes into being a successful voice actor, so it really should get its own categories (for both actor and actress).
The role of Kenai must have been so difficult for Joaquin Phoenix to do, because he also lost his older brother.
“He was killed…by a monster.”
River was killed by the monster called drugs. 😢
RIP River Phoenix, 1970-1993 ❤
I actually knew about Idris Elba. He might be known as the son of 9 mothers, thanks to his role as Heimdal in the Thor movies, and yes, Heimdal does have 9 mothers in total, but to me, he will always be the African buffalo that all kids secretly was a bit scared of, and adults saw as the seriously tough guy. I see Chef Bogo as that puffed up guy that secretly wants to smash through doors to celebrate Francines birthday.
I see him as knuckles in sonic two ^^
I’d known him since Luther and Pacific Rim, so I never not know his voice.
My number one pick wloud be David Spade as Kuco from The Emperor's New groove
That one's not really surprising, though.
Emma Thompson was fantastic as Elinor, despite not having many lines post Bear transformation. She conveys Elinor's stern nature and frustration over her headstrong daughter perfectly, and I love how she changes emotionally, not just physically.
2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).
I remember an old interview with Tony around the time of Tarzan's release where he talked about walking around his house practicing the Tarzan yell after getting the part. lol
Edited to add: As an illustrator who also adores drawing human anatomy, I have always LOVED watching Tarzan not only for the film itself but the animation of his anatomy. It's SUPERB. Anybody on the team who animated Tarzan himself in addition to Glen Keane had to have an abundance of detailed knowledge of superficial anatomy to accomplish his character design statically let alone in motion.
You can also see Glen Keane's anatomy knowledge in the transformation scene in Beauty and the Beast. He animated that part completely on his own over the course of a couple MONTHS because he wanted it to be _just so,_ and it paid off in spades. Just the animation of the hand is jaw-dropping in how textbook accurate it is.
I agree with you 100% Tarzan’s animation is out of this world. Way beyond great for its time, and I believe in my personal opinion, is superior to most 2D animation movies and cartoons these days.
I also loved how the characters were drawn and animated in the film too! Their expressions were so lively and vibrant!
You don't know how happy I was when Treasure Planet was mentioned. 😭 THE BEST DISNEY MOVIE EVER.
I’ve seen it too. Kevin Bacon is the voice of Balto in 1995 even though it’s not Disney.
That's how I felt about Balto. It was only a few years ago that I learned he was voiced by Kevin Bacon.
And Jason Alexander, the actor who plays George in Seinfeld & Stuckey in Pretty Woman (1990), is the voice of Hugo. One of the gargoyles in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996).
Honestly having Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane in lion King AND their Broadway work together is awesome
Two of them are friends in real life
Gal Gadot as Shank 👾
"Ralph Breaks the Internet" (2018)
I didn’t know Christian bale was in Pocahontas
same
Joaquin Phoenix deserves to be number 1 (I would not even be surprised if that list was created just to praise him.) First time I learnt it was him, I was like "What? But that doesn't sound like him at all!" Just prove what an incredible actor he is!
2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).
Joaquin should get more voice roles.
While Joaquin Phoenix voicing Kenai for Brother Bear was interesting since he did it for his young nephew at the time, I think what ties for best performance in Disney voice acting would be Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jim Hawkins and Michael J. Fox as Milo James Thatch.
Recently in another video Ms Mojo actually mentioned that Joaquin Phoenix had a huge dream to be a part of Disney movie so it was a dream come true for him to finally be in one called Brother Bear and he actually played Kenai. :)
I like Anika Noni Rose. She is so nice and kind as Tia as clear as Tiana.
I love brother bear!!! Also interesting fact
Joaquin Phoenix didn't go by his real name until after the passing of his brother River Phoenix..he made a promise to him and he's keeping it
I love Christian Bale doing voice overs. I found out he did Howl in Howl’s Moving Castle because he loved Spirited Away. He said he would take any role after seeing that movie not knowing he would get Howl’s role.
Whenever I watch Finding Nemo, when I see Gill's first appearance, I say "Goblin."
3:10 everyone knew that one
That one line you that said "Joseph Gordon-Levitt keeps winning us over." I immediately thought you should make a Top 10 Moments That Made us Love Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Willem DeFeo surprised me.
I was surprised by Joaquin Phoenix
Both are fantastic
same
Brother Bear was my Disney movie, I loved watching it as a kid!
A pity Joaquin Phoenix didn’t return for the sequel.
I read somewhere that he said Brother Bear 1 was the only voice over performance he’d do.
Probably for two reasons: one, wish fulfillment. IIRC, he said he wanted a Disney speaking role, and he got in Brother Bear. Two, Brother Bear's story (older brother of main character dying) hits too close to home for him.
Brother Bear is underrated and under appreciated, it’s sadder than Lion King and has great animation and soundtrack.
2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).

Idris Elba’s performance as Chief Bogo is very underrated! Apparently, he’s one of the main reasons why Disney was able to craft him so perfectly and honestly, I’m not surprised. His voice is as deep and intimidating as ever, but he really nailed the dry sense of humour and vulnerability the character has, deep down! I’m really glad Bogo wasn’t written as just a one-dimensional, strict, stubborn, gruff police chief. He had layers, thankfully. And I strongly believe Idris is to thank for that!
“Life isn’t some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and you’re insipid dreams magically come true. So Let. It. Go.”
Emma Thompson voice as Queen Elinor from Brave 2012 did awesome job and she did Henry 5th back in 1989 with Kenneth Branagh and others
2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).
Michael Keaton voiced Ken in toy story 3 , Julia Louis Dreyfus voiced Atta in bugs life , David Spade voice Kuzco in emperor new groove, Steve Buchemi voiced Randall in monsters inc , Jason Lee voiced syndrome in the Incredibles.
Don't forget another late great Hollywood legend Robin Williams as Genie and also Eddie Murphy as Mushu as Mulan's sidekick.
And Jason Alexander, the actor who plays George in Seinfeld & Stuckey in Pretty Woman (1990), is the voice of Hugo. One of the gargoyles in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996).
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 💗😘
Zazu and Chief Boggo I recognised first time I heard them! I watched Zootopia a year after I saw The Jungle Book and all I could hear when Boggo opened his mouth was Shere Khan! Some of the others on the list I’ve always known but can’t say I recognised their voiced the first time
Kevin Bacon is the voice of Balto in 1995 even though it’s not Disney.
David spade as Cuzco emperor's new groove he was so good I almost forgot it was him and same with John Goodman as pacha
It’s absolutely criminal that y’all didn’t mention Lance Henriksen as Kerchak
Rossie o donell - term Tarzan her performance was perfect in the movie
Kevin Bacon is the voice of Balto in 1995 even though it’s not Disney.
Tony Goldwyn -voices Tarzan and plays an underrated villain in Ghost
Judi Dench -everyone knows her in the James Bond movies as M but not so much in Home On the Range as the voice of a cow
2:30 They forgot to mention that Wayne Knight, the actor who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, is the voice of Tantor the elephant in Tarzan (1999).
I can’t hear Matthew Broderick without hearing Simba-
😭 i just realized Joaquin Phoenix, who lost his brother, was voicing a character who whose older brother also died
I only know Tony Goldwyn in the movie Ghost; never imagined that he voiced my Disney character crush
Glenn Close, Penn and Teller are the only Disney celebrities autographs I got
Also Euphoria's Alanna Ubach was superb as Mama Imelda in Coco (she is Mexican/Puerto Rican)
great video
Well did YOU know that on lion guard nala was played by Gabriella union
And Jason Alexander, the actor who plays George in Seinfeld & Stuckey in Pretty Woman (1990), is the voice of Hugo. One of the gargoyles in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996).
So did anyone notice they forgot ,Whoopi Goldberg in the lion king as shenzi that one surprised me when found out .
Top ten best songs and or performances from the lion guard please underrated show needs more love ms mojo
Oh, how about Dame Judi Dench in Home on the Range? Am I the only one who remembers the Disney flick that everyone forgot?
I totally remember home on the range, but didn't know M from James Bond voiced him
No, I LOVE Home on the Range!
I never knew gil was voiced by green goblin when I was 11
13:03 is the only one that made me say “that was him?!?!”
The first clip you used of Tarzan after saying that he and his scandal character are the same voice for the same man is actually inaccurate; Brian blessed who plays Clayton in the movie actually did Tarzan’s yells :-)
So, this is how I find out that JD from Scrubs voiced Chicken Little?
They forgot Jake Gyllenhaal in Strange World
The movie is forgotten because Disney forgot what marketing was 😭
@@jubileebaby0 Sadly, yes. What a disappointment it led to a bomb.
That’s very surprising indeed!
Elanor’s VA was also Amelia from Treasure Planet
I know I’ve grown up with Disney movies but I was unaware that they were famous
I didn't know until a few years ago that Kids In The Hall veteran David Foley was Flick in, "A Bug's Life"
Also, John Krasinski was PERFECTLY cast for that role in, "Monsters University"
Here's MY top 10 list of surprising voice acting performances in Disney/Pixar movies:
10- Scott Weinger as Aladdin- Aladdin
9- Robin Williams as Genie- Aladdin
8- Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear- Toy Story franchise
7- Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen- Cars Franchise
6- Ellen DeGeneres as Dory- Finding Nemo and Finding Dory
5- Tom Hanks as Woody- Toy Story franchise
4- Zachary Levi as Eugene Fitzherbert- Tangled
3- Mel Gibson as John Smith(Pocahontas)
2- Danny Devito as Phil- Hercules
There's 3 for number 1:
JOSH KEATON AS YOUNG HERCULES/FRANK WELKER AS PEGASUS/ and my FAV voice performance in Hercules, TATE DONOVAN AS ADULT HERCULES!
You were surprised by Robin Williams and Tim Allen? Those were rather obvious.
Fun fact: Scott Weinger actually dressed up as Disney's Aladdin in live action in an episode of "Full House."
Even after watching Moana so much I still never noticed her mother was voice by Nicole S. Esmeralda is also one of my favourite characters so I always knew Demi voiceed her. Also knew about most of all the others.
220: Good list but I would give Disney’s Pocahontas to Mel Gibson, the voice of John Smith. He was very well known in BraveHeart, in the same year
And Jason Alexander, the actor who plays George in Seinfeld & Stuckey in Pretty Woman (1990), is the voice of Hugo. One of the gargoyles in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996).
John Leguizano as Bruno(Encanto)?
Ms mojo don't talk about Bruno
Im surprised Neve Campbell voicing Kiara in The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride wasnt an honorable mention. I just found out a few days ago and that is such an under rated voice acting performance. She nailed it and knocked it out of the park
I never knew Willam Dafoe was Gill, I love him as an actor and Finding Nemo is my favourite film.
I also never knew Joaquin was Kenai in Brother Bear I loved that film as a kid!
I never knew Ellen DeGeneres was the voice of Dory either.
Honourable mentions:
Tom Hanks as Woody
Jim Cummings as Pooh/Tigger
John Travolta as Bolt
John Leguizamo as Bruno
James Woods as Hades
Gilbert Gottfried as Iago
Tony Jay as Shere Khan
Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski

Adam West as Uncle Art
Robin Williams as Genie
John Goodman as Sulley
Albert Brooks as Marlin

Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde
How could anyone be surprised about Gilbert Gottfried as Iago?! He had one of the most distinctive voices in show business!
The same goes for some of the others to varying degrees. If the list was just about celebrity actors in Disney animated movies, it would've said so.
More Disney videos please
Idris Elba is also knuckles in sonic two ^w^
Kevin Bacon is the voice of Balto in 1995 even though it’s not Disney. 😊

Mel Gibson as John Smith
I didn't know about Pocahontas but I can definitely hear it now and I love brother bear
Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass(Big Hero 6)?

Matthew as Inspector Gadget hoot hoot
13:03 WTF,Joaquin freaking Phoenix, I was not expecting an incredible Joker actor to be in a fantastic kids movie like Brother Bear,it's shocking how different he is in Brother Bear compared to Joker 👏
Besides Idris Elba in zootopia I had no clue about the other actors in those movies until I was older ...completely surprised... In fact I didn't even know demi Moore at all until today
3:47 Did they seriously forget to mention James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa & Jeremy Irons as the voice of Scar?
3:47 Did they seriously forget to mention James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa & Jeremy Irons as the voice of Scar?
I Knew My Man Idris Elba Was Gonna Be on The List!
For me Jeremy irons as scar was epic
First one out the gate I was like WHAT?!
14:06 I realize that is Joaquin Phoenix.
Wow!
Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls ACTUALLY voiced Moana's mother and her singing voice and dubbed her in the Hawaiian language one?! Wow! This is like the third Ms Mojo video that I've watched tonight or fourth or fifth where I've been shocked about something! Keep it up with the facts guys! Woo! EEP! :)
Bd Wong as captain li shang in Mulan
rewatching finding Nemo I’ve got to say it’s impressive that William dafoe was the voice of gill in finding Nemo especially considering about a year before the release of finding Nemo he was the green goblin
3:47 Did they seriously forget to mention James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa & Jeremy Irons as the voice of Scar?
George takei as first ancestor in Mulan
