Kevin Conroy will always be our most favorite Bruce Wayne/Batman voice actor….

“I am vengeance. I am the night. I AM BATMAN.”

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

These voice acting performances not only withstood the test of time, The actors who performed them made absolute history by playing their part in bringing these iconic animated characters to life! And if it wasn't for their amazing talent we probably wouldn't know all these characters as well as we do today!!!

Mel Blanc was such an amazing voice actor.
May he rest in peace…

The Oscars really should add a category dedicated to voice acting called best voice actor/actress in an animated film. Voice acting is an art in itself and takes as much emotion just as much as an actor in front of the camera.

Yzma and Kronk really dominated all the scenes that they were in, and you could tell that Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton were having a blast recording their dialogue.

This list really should have been "Top 50 Voice Actors of All Time" with all of the "various" character credits for so many entries.

Jodi Benson as Ariel, she always makes me forget there's a human being behind that beautiful mermaid voice. Happy sunday night, Emily. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

According to an interview with Ilene Woods' husband published in the Los Angeles Times, in her later years Woods showed little interest in the events around her due to illness, but when she talked about "Cinderella, " she often seemed happy.

Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime
Amd Phil Hartman as Jiji in Kiki's Delivery Service

[Disneygirlie]

You know which underrated voice actor I think deserves recognition? Sam Marin.


He voices three different characters on Regular Show, who are all completely different from each other. Lots more, too 😄

[zackrules]

Both Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried did give a highly entertaining performance to their characters with hilarious quotes that did get the laughs out of me. It's so sad that their are no longer with us.

I was hoping Eleanor Audrey would make the list, since she brought 2 iconic Disney Villains to life. I think she is the only voice actor to antagonise 2 princesses, so credit for that too.
