I find it phenomenal how the actors literally had to dress up and act in real time as well in order to get the movements right. It really shows how far animation has come.
They did that more likely because the animators were using the rotoscoping technique. That’s when you paint over filmed footage. They rotoscope the movements then put it over the painter background. I had to do a very rough version in one of my animation classes.
James Woods’ performance is especially great when you learn behind the scenes that they completely rewrote Hades’ whole personality around him. The original concept of Hades was for him to just be another dark, menacing overlord type of villain (similar to Chernabog or the Horned King). But after Woods decided to try some improv, giving Hades the vibe of a sleazy, silver-tongued salesman, the writers loved it so much that they kept it in.
It's amazing reading that with the benefit of the finished movie. Hades absolutely makes that film what it is, he absolutely steals the show. And that's hard with such an excellent cast! But it's his personality that sells it and I just can't imagine that character any other way, the whole movie would be so so different in tone.
I was actually shocked to find James woods was hades. I'm pretty versed in Disney but never gave a second thought to hades cause Hercules is low on my Disney list
I always thought it was weird that Disney cast him without thinking they'd get a car salesman lord of the dead, he always plays a fast talking character. Then I heard him in a DC animated film where he played a bad guy and he sounded so scary! Hades didn't scare me if he wasn't flaming, so I didn't know if he could do it but he was phenomenal. Terrifyingly emotionless, direct and cruel, he was amazing. That's what Disney wanted for Hades. We all agree what we got was better, but its still nice to see him voice act a different role.
They were also originally planning on having Jack Nicholson play hades but scheduling conflicts prevented it but it ended up giving us a much better villain
I honestly came down here to see if anyone else was going to comment that. She really nailed Pat Carroll's laugh and you could tell she was having fun being evil there.
@DJ_Cub Fun fact: Initially, the producers wanted David Bowie for Scar, but he was on-tour at the time that the movie was being made, and they couldn't put it on-hold to wait for him. I think he would've definitely enjoyed the "You're so weird/You have no idea" exchange with little Simba. (3/5/2023)
I find it remarkable the Johnathon Freeman has been doing almost every Jafar. Even in the original Broadway cast he played Jafar in Aladdin, and in video games as well. Very few have done that role besides him
@Idiotsdoesthings Here's something cool. I've heard that, at first, they wanted Patrick Stewart for Jafar, but he had a scheduling conflict with shooting "Star Trek: Next Generation". I've got to admit that it IS fun to imagine that Shakespearean accent shout, "Get your blasted beak out of my face!" (3/5/2023)

Alan Tudyk also voiced the weasel in Zootopia (forgot his name). While not the main villain, the character pokes fun at Tudyk's Weaselton character in Frozen.
I think a lot of the problem with the live action films is that the villains are so iconic that they never get them right. I watched Aladdin the other day and as a film it's OK, but Jafar wasn't anywhere near as charismatic or brilliant as the animation and the exclusion of Gilbert as Iago was just criminal. Iago was relegated to a walk on bit character instead of the heart of the movie. His evolution from evil sidekick to trusted friend was better character development than most films manage for the leads.
Yeah. It's incredible how easily our minds accept animation; only when put side to side with actual people doing their lines did I notice how stylized and exaggerated the humans and their movements really are in these movies.
Jeremy isn't dead. He even offered to reprise the role for the (gag) live-action remake. They got James because they knew it wouldn't sell otherwise, but Jeremy is just as iconic as Scar.
Also, thank you for showing the Kingdom Hearts scenes! You can tell how a lot of the Disney Renaissance VAs are still dedicated to their characters, that they would never refuse to play them.
I... don't think these actors would turn down an opportunity to reprise their roles. In the case of Kingdom Hearts, it was simply to align both an actor's schedule and budget. Kingdom Hearts managed to get around half of the original actors back, while they hired lesser-known actors to fill the blanks. For KH3 alone, they got most the cast from Frozen and Big Hero 6. If it wasn't from the movies, it was from the TV series. Dude, Kevin McNally reprised his role as Gibbs from the Pirates of the Caribeans movies in the 3rd game O_O You want a bigger mind-blowing fact? Kathryn Beaumont, the original actress for both Alice in Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Wendy Darling in Peter Pan (1953), reprised BOTH roles in the first Kingdom Hearts game in 2002, FIFTY years later.
@@MrJechgo I actually did know a lot of that, I just didn’t want to type a text wall. Lol! Yeah, really the only reason Nathan Lane has rarely reprised his role as Timon is exactly that. He’s usually been already booked with other projects, especially while The Lion Guard was airing.
@@KopaXTani and that's totally fine. As I said, I don't recall any Disney actor hating their roles, so the real reasons are all about "not being available" and "not interested by the paycheck" (It is their livelihood afterall). Otherwise, Square-Enix simply didn't have enough money to spend on actors. I mean, we could have gotten Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as Woody and Buzz for the Toy Story level, but... they probably would have slashed an entire Disney world (or two) in exchange ^^; We didn't get John Goodman and Billy Crystal as Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc, but at least the replacements were spot-on ;) Dude, for some reason, they didn't get Patton Oswalt to voice Remy from Ratatouille, leaving the rat with no lines...
It's so awesome to see all of these amazing voice actors in action behind the scenes and at table readings! It sucks some of them passed away, but their legacy as Disney characters is one that will never go. Also, I love that first clip, and it actually shows Walt Disney himself voicing Mickey! :)

Not to mention has a damn good singing voice, I wish he could’ve reprised his role in Lion Guard (not that I dislike David Qyelowo) and Kingdom Hearts.
It’s amazing how dedicated and different these actors were that they had so much fun while recording with a lack of technology and resources. It’s shows how far we’ve come but also how grateful we should be. We usually take things for granted.
I wish I could’ve saw David Ogden Stiers as Ratcliffe and Tony Jay as Frollo, along Eartha Kitt as Yzma, Suzanne Pleshette as Zira and George Sanders as Shere Khan, I would have loved to see how they performed the characters irl, great video though.
I was surprised to find the original voice actor for Pete.. Also the best villain voice actors for me are: Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Jonathan Freeman as Jafar and Eleanor Audley as Evil Stepmother and even as Maleficent.. They knew how to interpret their characters well and give them their touch of villainous personality
I think it's because Lady Tremaine’s words are sharp, threatening, and to the point, while Maleficent’s words are more drawn out and dripping with superiority.
Same! Great video but seeing Tony as Frollo probably would’ve killed me lol, Eartha Kitt as Yzma too, I don’t think I would survive seeing such legends.

@@michaelpalmieri7335 He is from a TV show called Phineas and Ferb.
I find it phenomenal how the actors literally had to dress up and act in real time as well in order to get the movements right. It really shows how far animation has come.
They probably had a fun time. Go to work dress up as you character and speak your lines.
Gotta dress the part to get in the mood
Actually they had already recorded the lines and were lip-syncing. The dressing up was to inspire the animators and help them draw more realistic
They didn’t HAVE to… but a lot of early studios depended on rotoscoping for realistic movement. Might as well throw in a costume, too!
They did that more likely because the animators were using the rotoscoping technique. That’s when you paint over filmed footage. They rotoscope the movements then put it over the painter background. I had to do a very rough version in one of my animation classes.
James Woods’ performance is especially great when you learn behind the scenes that they completely rewrote Hades’ whole personality around him. The original concept of Hades was for him to just be another dark, menacing overlord type of villain (similar to Chernabog or the Horned King). But after Woods decided to try some improv, giving Hades the vibe of a sleazy, silver-tongued salesman, the writers loved it so much that they kept it in.

I was actually shocked to find James woods was hades. I'm pretty versed in Disney but never gave a second thought to hades cause Hercules is low on my Disney list
And he enjoys the character so much that he always voices him, even in cartoons and videogames.

Captain Hook was great, but my favorite character of his will forever be Snidely Whiplash. He did such awesome villain voices. =)
4:43 Her reaction was priceless 😂 May Pat’s beautiful soul rest in peace 🥹🙏🏻❤️
Not going to lie… years later I was so embarrassed that I did that! 😅😂
These actors did a phenomenal job 😊 Rest In Peace to Billy Betcher,Gilber Gottfried, Eleanor Audrey, Hans Conried, and Peggy
Lee✝️❤️
RIP Billy Bletcher (Pete)
RIP Eleanor Audley (Lady Tremaine/Maleficent)
RIP Hans Conreid(Captain Hook)
RIP Peggy Lee(Simese Twin Cats)
RIP Pat Caroll (Ursula)
RIP Gilbert Gottfried (Iago the Parrot 🦜🦜🦜)
Jodi Benson behaving like Pat Carol's Ursula is just iconic. She can play the next Ursula.
I watch videos like this and I’m reminded that voice acting isn’t just recording lines for a character. It’s so much more!
This deserves more views and likes! It’s awesome
Keith David is a freaking legend, his voice is iconic, like James Earl Jones, just absolutely iconic.
Santino played the prince in the Broadway version of Cinderella, so this was a natural and appropriate fit for him. Also, he's a stud.
Oggie Boggie and Keith David's performance is God like
Could you do one next of the comedic sidekicks? Examples: Genie, Timon & Pumbaa, Mushu, Kronk etc.
Yessss😊
I wish footage existed for David Ogden Stiers as Wiggins, I would kill for that.
1:47 WOW, THAT IS SO COOL THEY DID A LIVE REFERENCE!!
This guy whom voiced over iago is one great voice over.. great work...
RIP Gilbert. He was one of the most iconic voices in the history of all voices ever heard. I miss him!
Jodi Benson was also the voice of Vanessa!! OMG!
I was today years old when I learned that and I'm 21😱😱
It's one of those things where it makes perfect sense, but your brain doesn't process it until you're told.
@@Thomas_H._Smith knew it as a child
Of course Alan is the one with multiple characters. I love that man!
Jeremy Irons is such an underrated artist but a versatile one whom not everyone really appreciates him much. 😪
Not to mention has a damn good singing voice, I wish he could’ve reprised his role in Lion Guard (not that I dislike David Qyelowo) and Kingdom Hearts.
Oh my gosh, that Siamese cat song from Lady and the Tramp used to be one of my favorite songs when I was a kid.
Great compilation. That Hollywood bowl show was awesome with Danny Elfman and the music from Burton films.
It’s amazing how dedicated and different these actors were that they had so much fun while recording with a lack of technology and resources. It’s shows how far we’ve come but also how grateful we should be. We usually take things for granted.
4:36 RIP Pat Carroll 7:27 I always love seeing Key Page perform.
Oogie Boogie’s song is SO GODDAMN good and honestly a musical classic.
Including Ken Page was a perfect choice, I somehow have never seen the live footage! 💟💟💟💟😍
Can I say something crazy ... No
That part killed me 😂
god theirs something so cool seeing Walt just having the most childlike smile on his face while doing voiceovers with billy bletcher.
I wish I could’ve saw David Ogden Stiers as Ratcliffe and Tony Jay as Frollo, along Eartha Kitt as Yzma, Suzanne Pleshette as Zira and George Sanders as Shere Khan, I would have loved to see how they performed the characters irl, great video though.
I know there is Eartha Kitt footage out there, but I don’t think it’s an actual line so it made sense why it’s not here
You just don't get performances like Ken Page's Oogie Boogie anymore
I seriously love, Eleanor Audley's, Maleficent's voice! Elegantly delivered! Chef's kiss! 😘
OMG Gilbert Gottfried(Iago's voice) just died this year. How sad. RIP 😱🤧🤧🥺
Keith David is really something else. He and Jeremy have my fav villain voices for sure
love this and love the Princesses!!!! Awesome work!!! Thank you!
Definitely worth 20mins of my life
I love princess and the frog and love the villain of the movie. Keith David!
I was surprised to find the original voice actor for Pete.. Also the best villain voice actors for me are: Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Jonathan Freeman as Jafar and Eleanor Audley as Evil Stepmother and even as Maleficent.. They knew how to interpret their characters well and give them their touch of villainous personality
I don't know what's wrong with me, but the older I get, the more I love the villans!
We all do.
I love how Eleanor Audley's Lady Tremaine and Maleficent are completely different from each other
I think it's because Lady Tremaine’s words are sharp, threatening, and to the point, while Maleficent’s words are more drawn out and dripping with superiority.
They’re all so good!
Seeing Ursula in real life was amazing! Such a great villain!
WOW, I love how many of these voice actors literally embodied the animated characters they voiced! Even right down to what they were wearing!
They do look like the animated versions. I love that detail.
Big respects to all of them for the hard work!!
I wish Tony Jay was on here as Frollo and Eartha Kit as Yzma . Great video though.
Same! Great video but seeing Tony as Frollo probably would’ve killed me lol, Eartha Kitt as Yzma too, I don’t think I would survive seeing such legends.
Old animation (2d) and voice overs just had it all ❤️
Wow the resemblance is beyond incredible.
