My Top 5 Animated Movie Voice-Overs

Backstage.com says good voice actors not only have a good voice, but an ability to immerse themselves in the character and take direction on the fly. In my opinion, the big difference is the characters work in a sound booth individually before the movie is cut together. However, in a large cast of animated characters on disney and netflix, certain characters stick out in a unique way. This is due to interesting choices on the performers part.

Mac Truck

John Ratzenburger has been called Pixars "Good luck charm". He's played over a dozen characters in the pixar universe. I think he has the perfect voice for a Mack Truck.

2. Forte  

While Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas was one of those B low budget, direct-to-video sequels, Tim Curry's performance as an evil possessed organ was memorable.

3. Detective Florez  

Detective Florez is based on a Chicago cop John Mulaney knew in his childhood. In this character, he resurrects the funny chicago accent from his act

4. Genie

It's a well-known fact that Robin Williams improvised so many different bits as the Genie, that Aladdin could have been a four hour movie about the Genie. I would have watched that, he's hilarious.

5.  Louis

I love a good bait and switch and when Michael Wooley's Louis enters in the Princess and the Frog, you think he's going to eat a frog. But all he wants to do is play the trumpet.

To summarise, these five actors appear in what we call 'ensemble movies', yet stand out due to their natural theatricality.

Weil wir ja nicht immer The Emperor’s New Groove anschauen können, wenn uns nach etwas verschrobenerem Disney-Unfug ist, schauen wir auch manchmal The Princess and the Frog, die sich mittels allerlei dort so nicht vorkommendem Beiwerk wie Voodozauber, jazzendem Alligator und einem unglücklich verliebten Glühwürmchen relativ weit von der grimmschen Vorlage entfernende Neuausdeutung der Geschichte vom Froschkönig. (In der engeren Wahl für die Fragestellung sind auch noch Coco und Tangled.)

Fusseli Suspireli (They/She)

Fusseli Suspireli or 'Fuzzi' for short (They/She) is a basilisk. A very friendly, very sociable basilisk, which is unusual as they usually keep to their own out of fear of being killed for being parasites of magic*. They're bloated with magic they consume casually rather than all at once, though of course they do pig out once in awhile and gorge themselves when they're famished-just not on friends. Because Fusseli is so 'bloated' they're able to keep and maintain their transformations, including slipping between one to the other, VERY fast. Ftr, she exists in my normal TOH timeline headcanon as well, she just passed away years before the events of the series (and no, Vee and the other cloned basalisks aren't related to her in anyway).

In the "Eve and the Witnits"-AU she's friends with Caleb and Evelyn and wants to be a bard-illusionist performer. To make an actual living for themselves they've taken up spying/mercenary work besides their partner(in more ways than one) Philip.

Just like Principal Bump and Boscha are named after a spooky artist, Fusseli is named after Henry Fuseli, the painter of this and other nightmares. Well, that and Suspiria. I don't know what the exact term for their gender identity is why in writing like this I just use "They/Them". I think it'd be Genderfluid or Genderapathetic(it's not nonbinary or agender, that's all I know) but it's hard to tell and nervous to do when this is specifically a fictional monster character and not a human who's irl identity shouldn't be conflated with that.

All I know is that whatever pronoun I make official for her, Fuzzi sounds like Michael-Leon Wooley and/or Levi Stubbs, the Audrey II's of MY childhood, though everyone else know Wooley more as the voice of Louis the Alligator from Princess and the Frog aka my son. They do NOT sound like Ken Page, though they do have the personality of the biglipped alligator from All Dogs go to Heaven (or, alternatively, that Tiger from An American Tail).

Even if she had bones there wouldn't be an aggressive one in her body.

Just finished watching the new episodes of record of ragnorok and.. oh boy.

Now for context, I watched it by myself after I found it in 2022. But, a couple months after season two was first released I introduced it to my dad, so we have been watching it together.

Also, I have not read the manga only seen some things but like not much from the manga.

First thing: I was first like ,“Who the hell voices the English dub of Papiyus? He sounds so familiar!” Than I realized it was Michael Leon Wooley, the guy who voiced the crocodile in Princess and The Frog!

Second thing: BUDDA! Like oml he was awesome the whole time. And when he took his hair down? GOD DAMN. He looked majestic!

Third thing: When he was first on screen I was like who the hell is this. Man is sexy, holy hell. Then I find out it’s Beelzebub… I was like 🤨. This is no “Lord Of Flies”. But, it’s fine. He kinda reminded me of Levi from Obey me because of the scene where he’s in front if all these computer screens.

Fourth thing: Hades is so fine! I had seen him in pictures from the manga and I still thought he was sexy before. The anime did not disappoint. Also, once he talked I immediately new it was J Michael Tatum! He’s one of those people that once you watch something he’s in, you immediately recognize the voice!

So in conclusion, Record of Ragnorok is amazing and deserves more recognition!

Singing voice claims for Edgar Allan Poe (BSD)

Note: these are just my silly opinions and not canon.

Don’t you Dare (make me fall in love you) by Kaden Mackay

Passing through by Kaden Mackay

Another Believer by Rufus Wainwright

This song was actually the first singing headcannon i assigned to Poe.

Out there from Hunchback of Notre Dame

- (I’m still unsure about this one but)

When we’re human from Princess and the Frog

specifically at the 0:47 second mark when Naveen starts singing, don’t ask me why I think Poe’s voice sounds like this i don’t know what the thought process is either)

Gummibears cartoon theme song

I’ve linked an old post of mine with the direct link to the song

Disney Review Request Princess and the Frog

Requested by @themousefromfantasyland who wanted me to discuss Princess and the FRog ,the PRincess film that isnt really talked about and why it is a bit under the radar ....And yeah I wanna talk about that too .See I remember the HYPE for this film :It was Disney going back to their roots ,a princess fairy tale musical in beautiful 2D animation by Ron Clements and John Musker AKA the best directors Disney has ever had ,this was it ,this was going to bring back Disney for a modern age.....And it did fine ,not the game changer Disney was hoping for and as a result instead of bring back Disney 2D after a long hiatus,it was more of a swan song befor one last gasp in the form of Winnie the Pooh .I also saw the film in the theaters right when Disney had kind of become an obsession and for a few years it was the fave movie of my lil sibling.....Till Frozen came out .Also spoilers ahead

The plot of this 2009 film concerns a waitress named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) who dreams of opening her own restraunt ,and meets Naveen(Bruno Campos) a selfish Prince who has been turned into a frog in a scheme by the evil Dr Facilier (Kieth David ) ,and going by the Frog Prince fairy tale ,Naveen convinces Tiana to kiss him in exchange for enough money to pay for her restraunt .....Only for her to turn into a frog as well ,and the two set off on an adventure to find a way to make them human

This is a film I wish I loved ,cause there is a lot to love .The animation is beautiful ,and everytime I watch it I get a little sad cause 2D has been completly taken over by CG ,at least in America .I like the side characters .Louis the Trumpet playing gator while not having a lot to do is brilliantly animated by Eric Goldberg and played masterfully by Michael Leon Wooley (THough I will confess ,since I found out he played Audrey II in the Broadway version of Little Shop of Horrors ,I keep expecting him to go "Feeeeeddd Meeeee" ).I ADORE Mama Odie ,a 197 year old blind voodoo priestess .She is kind of a deceptively goofy yet wise character which is an archetype I love and Jennifer Lewis gives it her all ,I had no idea the actress was only in her 50's she convinced me she was much older . I think my favorite character might be Tianas friend Charlotte ,a rich girl obsessed with marrying a prince ,she is just so energetic and funny and I love that she genuinely cares about Tiana .Ray the firefly is a character I thought I wouldnt like when the film was being advertised and I confess I dont like his design .....But he is actually the heart of the film ,Jim Cummings givers a great performance ,I love his sub plot about being in love with a star ,Evangeline ,and I remember how shocking it was that Ray DIES .At the end of the film Dr Facilier KILLS him ,and I remeber the audience gasped in the theater .Now I have seen people who either think Rays death is emotionally powerful or straight up silly ,for me....Im a big ball of emotion ,so when that second star eppears next to the wishing star meaning Ray is finally with Evangeline ......I tear up

I really love Naveen as a character ,a disinherited playboy who loves jazz and his arc and romance with Tiana is good.I also just adore the setting ,I think 1920's New Orleans is the perfect place for a 20th century fairy tale (Wish they used it better but I will get into that ).I also love the use of jazz music and speaking about the music lets talk about the songs by Randy Newman .Now I am not a big Newman fan but I think the songs are really good though some are just OK and I am gonna talk about them from my least favorite to my most favorite

8.Never Knew I needed-the obligatory end credits pop song that is good ,but I dont love it ,I kind of forgot this one existed

7.When We're Human-Sung by Tiana,Naveen and Louis Its cute but kind of meh for me

6.Gonna Take You There-Sung by Ray and his Firefly family ,its just OK

5.Down in New Orleans(All versions)-I actually really like this song ,its a good opener and closer

4.Almost There:Tianas song that is really damn good, Anika Noni Rose does a fantastic job ,I think it is also my third favorite song animation wise ....I just like three other songs better

3.Ma Belle Evangeline -One of the most underrated love songs in Disney ,I think the sequence is beautiful(One of my favorite scenes in the film honestly ) and Jim Cumming really shows off his singing skills

2.Dig A Little Deeper :Mama Odies song and its just got a good message while also be8ing a ton of fun and Jennifer Lewis just sells it .I got a weakness for Gospel style numbers

1.Friends on the Other Side-OK I have opinions that are unpopular about Doctor Facilier but I will give him this ,he has one of the BEST Villain songs in Disney .Kieth David really shows off his amazing singing skills here,the animation is perfect ,I like how it builds up to being completely insane ,its fun ,its creepy ,its just a great villain song.....With a perfect reprise ,but I'll talk about that later

I'll talk about Tiana later ,so lets go into what I think is the flaws/things I am kind of meh about/thing that almost work but dont but-...*Sigh* lets just get into it

In the meh category ....The use of celeb voices here are weird.Like usually you get a big star to play the main character or the sidekick or the villain.....But aside from getting the great character actor Kieth David to play the villain,which I get but the other three BIG STARs play supporting characters.Now I kind of get Terrance Howard and Oparah Winfrey for the parents but...I'm just gonna say it ,why is JOHN GOODMAN IN THIS FILM ??I love John Goodman ,dont get me wrong ,and yeah he is a plot point, (FAcilier wants to kill him and gain his wealth ) but he doesnt do much so I am always distracted when I hear Goodmans voice

Annnnnnddd lets get to the part that I think might get me some flack....Lets talk about my issues,AND what I like about Dr Facilier .I KNOW this guy is super beloved he is the part of the movie people REALLY like....And I'm sorry I got problems with him .I'll start with what I like :His design is great ,evoking classic DIsney villains like Captain Hook ,his villain song like I said is marvelous ,I like his evil plan to take over New Orleans and feed all the inhabitants souls to his Friends on the Other Side ,he's got menace to him,I love the fact his shadow is alive .he is played by one of my favorite actors Kieth David who delivers a phenominal vocal performance and I like that beneath his cool facade he is actually a desperate and terrified dude when it comes to his otherworldly buddies ......But while he is made of cool parts ,they emphisize his greed ,his motive is he wants money and power ......Thats boring and it doesnt really vibe with "Im going to let spirits devour New Orleans " .The other is he is more plot villain and not a good foil to the heroes . He has no connection with Tiana really ,they only have one scene together and she apparently knows who he is but thats never explained .I say to make him a better villain

1.Emphisize his back story that he was someone who used magic to fufill his desires the easy way ,and his desperation to pay off his debt is his motive

2.Have him pursue the heroes ,and tempt the heroes.

I wll say he is a fun character ,I just wish he was great .....Oh his death scene is AMAZING and TERRIFYING though, dragged to the spirit world by his own shadow as his own villain song is sung by monstrus spirits ,that was such a jaw dropping scene in the theater ,possibly my favorite Disney villain death

As for things in the I dont like section.....The film begins strong,and ends strong too.....But that middle section in the bayou is just kind of dull.Up to Ma Belle Evangiline that whole part of the film just drags ,including these three minor bad guys that dont add anything ,theres some terrible jokes ,and two of the songs dont do it for me .Humor in general is hit and miss .Oh I almost forgot ,Lawrence is one of the most forgettable villain sidekicks in Disney,I kind of forget he is in the movie

Well Question time

1 - What do you think about Tiana as a character?

I like Tiana ,I think she is a good protagonist ,Anika Noni Rose soes a good performance ,I find her likeable and I like her romance with Naveen.

2 - Do you think this movie would be better if Tiana didn't turn into a frog, or if the frogs journeyed through New Orleans more inteastad of the bayou?

Yeah I wouldve preferred mor human Tiana,and while I like swampy settings ,I wanted more in New Orleans .

3 - Is this movie good, bad, or just watchable?

Its... on the good end of Watchable .I dont return to it a bunch it has flaws ...But its got its good stuff in it .I dunno I always go in wanting it to be better then it is

Overall it almost works but it feels undercooked ,but I still reccomend it .If best is A+ this is about a B

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Team

Christine Marie Cabanos as Gracie

Martin Short as B.E.N.

Jackie Buscarino as Kevin

Barrett Leddy as Iago

Jeff Bennett as Sir Hiss

Chris Diamantopoulos as Mickey

Frank Welker as Oswald

Corey Burton as Yen Sid

Michael-Leon Wooley as Louis

The plot can be broken up into sections based on where things take place.

On Earth:

Grace “Gracie” Whitmon lives with her parents and older sister on Martha’s Vineyard. On the last day of school, a golden bubble floats down from the sky and pops, releasing a key-shaped object. Puzzled, Gracie takes it home. That night, she is contacted in her dreams by the sorcerer Yen Sid, who informs her that, having received the key, she has been chosen to destroy a demon called the Great Eraser, which is on a course toward the utopian Kingdom of Dreams. Gracie must travel throughout time and space to find three other companions who represent Wisdom, Innocence and Loyalty; for this purpose, she is given three capsules, each containing artifacts which she is to give to those whom the key reacts to. She is also instructed on how to convert the key into a keyblade. Yen Sid warns Gracie that the Blots, demons who follow the Great Eraser, will attempt to stop her so that they may take over the Kingdom of Dreams in the Great Eraser’s wake. Awakening the next morning, Gracie finds the artifacts in her bed. After much self-debate, she packs her backpack with the artifacts, her wallet and some supplies before activating the keyblade, which opens a portal to her first destination. At the same time, the Blot Chief receives word of Gracie’s quest and sends his stormtroopers to stop her.

On Montressor:

Finding herself many centuries in the future on the planet Montressor, Gracie meets the navigator robot B.E.N., whom the keyblade identifies as the holder of Wisdom. After B.E.N. receives his artifact, an archery bow, the Blots land on Montressor and attempt to confiscate the keyblade. However, B.E.N. figures out that the bow summons and fires magical arrows, and uses it to scatter the Blots. Upon learning the object of the quest, B.E.N. tells his employer, Sarah Hawkins of the Benbow Inn, that he’s going away for a while before joining Gracie.

In South America:

They next arrive in modern-day Paradise Falls in South America, where they spot some Blots hunting a giant, colorful, flightless female bird whom they save. The keyblade reacts in the bird’s presence, revealing her to hold Innocence, but the next artifact is a seemingly ordinary collar. The Blot hunters soon return for revenge, and Gracie and B.E.N. find themselves outnumbered until the grateful bird helps to drive their adversaries off. With the collar revealed to have a device that translates her thoughts, albeit into broken English, the bird, who introduces herself as “Kevin”, joins them on their quest.

In the Arabian Desert:

Arriving outside a Middle Eastern desert town in the distant past, the trio disguise themselves and begin their search for the keeper of Loyalty. They come across former thief Cassim fighting off ruffians, and help him drive them off. The keyblade reacts to Cassim’s parrot companion, Iago, but when asked to join the three, Iago refuses, not wanting to risk his life. The Blots meet up with the ruffians, and they team up to later ambush the group. Iago flees in a cowardly fashion, only to be stricken by conscience and return to use his artifact, a magical ring. Impressed, Cassim allows Iago to accompany Gracie’s group until the quest is completed.

In the Kingdom of Dreams:

The keyblade brings the quartet to the Kingdom of Dreams, where they discover that the artifacts can also transform Gracie’s companions into humans. They meet King Mickey, who informs them that the Blots have made their hideout in the Foothills of Ambiguity. He also names the four the “Dream Team”. As they make their way to the Blots’ lair, the Team encounter Sir Hiss, originally an anthropomorphic snake whom the Blots forcibly “drafted” and turned human to stop them. Wishing to return to his world and true shape, Hiss reluctantly fights the Team, but is defeated by Gracie. In response, Hiss decides to secretly help the Team on their quest. The Team attempts to disguise themselves in order to sabotage the Blot Chief, and learn his true identity: a jealous Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald becomes wise to their deception and orders them locked up, but Hiss breaks them out of the dungeon. After a chase, during which much of the Blots’ lair is destroyed, the five are confronted by Oswald in a mecha built by the Mad Doctor. In the ensuing fight, the Team is on the brink of defeat, but the timely arrival of Mickey and the Kingdom’s armies help them gain the upper hand. Oswald is defeated by Gracie, and Mickey reveals that he never forgot about his and Oswald’s bond, causing Oswald to have a change of heart. During the ensuing celebration, however, B.E.N. discovers that the Great Eraser is now headed for Earth. As everyone gets ready for battle, Yen Sid arrives and tells them that the artifacts have a hidden power, which will allow their wielders to fight the Great Eraser, before granting Hiss his own artifact, a magical staff. Together, the Team returns to Earth.

Back on Earth:

By now, the approaching Great Eraser has been sighted all over the world, causing global concern. The Team activates the secret magic, fusing with their artifacts and gaining superpowers, fairy wings and colorful outfits as a result. They fly up into space to battle the Great Eraser, which fights back with an army of space demons. However, the Team manages to clear a path for themselves to reach the Great Eraser, revealed to be the original Blot. They use all the power from the artifacts to launch a huge blast of rainbow light that destroys the Blot once and for all. The Team then finds themselves in another dimension, where the stars congratulate them for their heroism. After a heartfelt farewell, they are sent back to their respective worlds, as their artifacts are sent back to the Kingdom of Dreams. Sometime later, Gracie magically receives an enchanted smartphone-like device, which she uses to communicate with other members of the Dream Team.

In a post-credits scene, in 1920s New Orleans, Louis, a trumpet-playing alligator, notices a familiar golden bubble floating down from the sky, implying that the Dream Team may embark on another adventure.
