Disney Villains Voice Actors | Live Vs Animation | Side By Side Comparison

Well you can't have one with out the other. To go along side with my Disney Princess Side By Side video,
I've made one of the actors behind the characters we all really love, the villains. Now earlier this year we also lost a legendary Disney Villain voice actor, Gilbert Gottfried. Gilbert left behind a legacy as Iago that could never replaced or taken away, so I also wanted to make this video as special tribute to him. Enjoy.

At 3:58 it’s me!! I will never forget that afternoon. 🥰

[Tygermite]

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.

[CJCroen]

I love how Dr. Doofenshmirtz is iconic enough to be considered a true Disney Villain.

[saturos]

why is no one talking about Jodi Benson doing Vanessa's (Ursula) voice? She even get Pat Carroll's iconic laughs in

[Cure_Hana]

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.

Jeremy Irons as Scar is the greatest voice over work of all time.

Jodi Benson AS Pat Caroll AS Ursula- that was way more impressive than any disney ballad high note 👏👏👏👏👍

[stCenturyBurn]

R.I.P. Pat Carroll. She did a good Job on Ursula.

[sergiefiedserge]

RIP to Eartha Kitt as YZMA and Part Carol as Ursula

[nathanforester]

Gaston's voice actor is literally just as good looking as the character. Also even without looking like his animated character, Povenmire can still do the Doof voice.

[tone]

All wonderful performances, but I think Ken Page does an absolutely phenomenal job as our favorite Boogey Man.

[Nexils]

Love how the voice actor for Pete is way smaller than Mickey's voice actor (edit: which is apparently Walt Disney himself :p).

[idiotsdoesthings]

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

[welcometoamerica]

Donna Murphy as mother Gothel is just perfect.

[peggyknecht]

I love seeing how the voice actors really get into their performances, even when they are not actually seen. They go all out!

[davidstone]

If they ever make a live action Tangled, Donna Murphy has to play Mother Gothel. There's literally no one else who could do it better.

[donnalynn]

Am I the only one blown away by the real Gaston? Longer hair, tall, nice build. Wow!

[arielsanchezavisbal]

Oogie boogie's song has always been my favorite because of the singer's great voice. My favorite part 8:55 is when he says "It's much more fun, I must confess when lives are on the line, not mine, of course but yours, oh boy. Now that'd be just fine"

[darknessoftruth]

When I hear Kieth David singing Friends on the Other Side, I think it's Spawn showing off his magic.

[adelucas]

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.
