Tim Curry's portrayal of Hexxus was perfection. And his performance was indeed dripping with something, but it certainly wasn't malice. ❤‍🔥😍

Mark Hamil as the Joker in the animated Batman movies should have been here. At least an honorable mention

[MasterAnakinSkyWalker]

The Prince of Egypt will always be one of the greatest animated movies ever made. Even for a movie from 1998, the animation still holds up perfectly. The parting of the Red Sea sequence is still amazing. It took the effects team two years to create. Now that's dedication right there.

Sees Hexxus on the cover and clicks. Some childhood memories have been unlocked

He did a fantastic job, and now… May Mr. Jones rest in peace… 😢

Fun fact:
Dame Angela Lansbury (Mrs. Potts) thought that another character would be better suited to sing the ballad, "Beauty and the Beast." Directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise asked her to make at least one recording to have for a back-up; that one recording ended up in the movie.

That Hexxus performance and song was legendary.

Danny DeVito voiced Phil is the best, especially when he helped Hercules and this quote stayed with me: ‘Giving up is for rookies. I came back cause I’m not quitting on you.’ ❤❤❤❤❤

[stevencooley]

I love that they mention Robin's warmth, I've always felt that in the scenes he wasn't in there was always an impending sense of dread, I truly believe that the original Aladdin wouldn't exist without Robin's undeniable talent

[RickeGnool]

Kevin Conroy in Batman Mask of the Phantasm

[shesakillerqueeeen]

James Woods absolutely KILLED his role as Hades. Its the only reason I still watch this movie

[andu]

Honestly you could place David Spade, John Goodman, Ertha Kitt, and Patrick Warburton on best of 2K

[trinaq]

Tim Curry is the best at playing baddies. Also, I think that we all guessed that Robin Williams as the Genie would top this list.

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

Robin Williams as the Genie from 1992’s ‘Aladdin.’
Over a decade, we all missed Mr. Williams so much…

[BlakeHawkinsVA]

All of these choices are really good 😊 I would also mention Tom Hulce as Quasimodo on the Hunchback of Notre Dame 😊💚
