Jim Cummings is a voice acting LEGEND at this point and deserved to be higher than just 17.

[MarioGarcia-rhgt]

James Earl Jones deserves a spot or atleast a honorable mention he voiced

Darth Vader and mufasa

RIP Robin Williams, June Foray, Mel Blanc, Gilbert Gothfred you people did some of the best voice work of all time 😢

[livingpicture]

Robin Williams was more than just a legendary voice actor - he was a great actor and legendary comedian that could hardly ever be held back on stage. While he definitely could pull off a serious role or serious moments (bits of Dead Poets Society Mrs. Doubtfire, and the whole of Insomnia), everything from Mork & Mindy to Popeye to ... well, you called it, Aladdin, have us in stitches and in awe of his comic wit! Few comedians hold a candle to his legacy!

Mel blanc is the undisputed king of voice acting. The amount of voices he could do is insane

[Blackout]

Patrick Warburton doesn't do voices, it's literally just him every time. And it's EPIC!

[trinaq]

Rest in peace, Eartha Kitt and Gilbert Gottfried, two of my favourite voice actors of all time. They'll never be forgotten. 😇

[Omar-wqdz]

Robin Williams as Genie was perfect casting. I don’t know who else could have pulled that off other than him

[donmccann]

The Emperor's New Groove is one of my favorite movies of all time, and much of that is due to the voice cast. Eartha Kitt, Patrick Warburton, John Goodman, David Spade... what a lineup! Add to that a hilariously brilliant script, and you have one of the funiest, most underrated animated films of all time. It should be a classic, but it hardly gets much attention outside of its diehard fans or voice acting enthusiasts.

Speaking of voice acting, James Arnold Taylor should probably have gotten a shoutout on this list as well. Dude has a long list of impressive voice credits to his name. I was kind of surprised he didn't even get a mention here.

Every single voice in The Emperor’s New Groove was PERFECT!! Eartha Kitt, John Goodman, David Spade, Patrick Warburton, Wendie Malick, whoever played the two kids even the little old man who said it wouldn’t be the first time he was thrown from a window!! PERFECT!!

[keaganmiller]

Billy West and John DiMaggio MADE Futurama. Both definitely deserve a place on this list.

[jaxrotors]

Another that I think was at least worth an honorable mention: Peter Cullen. The iconic voice of Optimus Prime, but also Eeyore, KARR and many others.

[aimeelarsen]

I’m so surprised that Grey DeLisle wasn’t at least mentioned in this video. She’s been in so many childhood cartoons and she brings life to each and every one.

[Constancecomplex]

How did Maurice LaMarche not make this list?
Movies, television, video games.. Hundreds of credits from Animainiacs to Best Fiends to Zootopia, he is an exceptionally talented voice actor.

[jennybutler]

How on EARTH is Mel Blanc *not* #1???

(Side note: I've met and spoken to Rob Paulsen a few times, and he's truly one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's also SCARY talented)

[ericventurino]

James Woods deserves a spot on here simply for Hades. One of the single best voice performances of all time.

[mattg]

How is Nancy Cartwright not on this list??? Absolute legend.

[mndlessdrwer]

I swear, the animators took a look at Eartha Kitt and her energy and just made a caricature of her for Isthma. Such a good character, it's hard to ever truly dislike her.

[tylerwilliams]

Dee Bradley Baker at 20 is criminal. He has an iconic voice a long with extreme versatility

[shortnstrange]

Grey DesLisle deserves a mention at the very least. She’s one of those actors who WAS our childhood from Foster’s Home, Danny Phantom, Scooby-Doo, Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Fairly OddParents, and SO MANY MORE! But if we’re just talking “over the top characters, ” she takes the cake with Azula. That was one dangerous 14-year old who easily made men in the ATLA universe shake in their boots! Zuko and Iroh would’ve rather been killed by the Earth Kingdom than turned over to her. And who can forget the line where she’s “about to celebrate becoming an only child!” 🔥
