Watching behind the scenes of our favorite movies is always a fun thing to do and you
will definitely love this video because not only we are going to show you all the best voice acting
moments, we will reveal some really interesting facts about voicing the most popular animated
films. From Polar Express to Moana, we found only the juiciest moments with our favorite voice
actors. Make sure you stick till the end! Tom Hanks – The Polar Express
Did you know that Tom Hanks was playing five characters in Polar Express? This is really
incredible but it is true and the actor revealed that he was absolutely exhausted. You will be even
more surprised now because the actor had to play all five roles on the same day. However,
it wasn’t the first time Tom Hanks voiced so many characters, as he played six in Cloud Atlas.
But when he played in this movie, he had at least one day in between because they would film on
different sets and locations. But with Polar Express it was a different situation because
it filmed all of its performances in a studio for the animators, so there were days Tom Hanks
had to play all his characters. Tom described his feelings by saying, “There’s only so much
that I can internally grasp as an actor and on the day of tests that we did, I played five or
six or seven roles in the course of that day. I said, ‘Bob, I’m exhausted here.’ So in my mind,
I had a track on the five characters that I played. I could understand the differences between
them all and I understood how they related to the boy and I understood what the boy’s perceptions of
them were. And it was just a circumstance where it was doable. It was possible without having to do
it in the way, like say, for example, Jerry Lewis made The Family Jewels or something like that.”
Tom Hanks also had to differentiate them in his performances, especially all the adult characters.
“In my sensibilities, they’re all the caregivers,” the actor said and he also admitted that he had to
dive deep into the characters’ personalities to bring them to life which was not that easy.
Gal Gadot – Ralph Breaks the Internet We all loved the determined street racer,
Shank, thanks to Gal Gadot and the way she brought her to life and it kinda feels that the character
was deeply influenced by the actress. Producer of Ralph Breaks the Internet, Clark Spencer said
Gal Gadot was able to straddle the line between a resilient woman and one who can show her
vulnerable side. “She had to come across both as a very tough character — she is the boss of that
game — but also as a character who feels that soft side,” Spencer said. Well, maybe that’s because
Gal really liked her character and she felt her as in real life the actress likes racing as well!
Have you noticed that she said on multiple occasions that she really loves motorcycles,
especially her 2006 Ducati Monster-S2R? However, according to Gal Gadot, the biggest reason why she
was so attached to Shank was her heart. We see her as a badass at first but as the story develops,
we can see that she is much more than that. We can see that there's a sweet,
kind heart under the bad-girl vibe. Gal Gadot even said that how Shank's inside is what
she likes the most about the character. In behind the scenes footage, Gadot is
seen having fun embracing Shank and it is really so cute. “She just sort of has this
easygoing warmness about her like, ‘Oh, I can sit down and talk to Gal. We can bring friends.’ We
tried to put some of that into how Shank sort of carries herself,” Cory Loftis,
production designer, said. He added, “That relaxed, effortless posture that she has.”
But what is even more surprising is that it was the first time Gal Gadot when had to sing,
"It's been the first time I ever sang in a movie, and it's been great and I really liked
it," the actress revealed. Dwayne Johnson – Moana
Dwayne The Rock Johnson was super excited when the work on Moana was over because he
couldn’t wait to see the result. The actor had so much fun during the recording and he
shared his excitement on Twitter by writing, "What can I saaaay except, you're welcooome.
Very exciting night for our broadcast premiere of Moana." Dwayne really loved the song ‘You Are
Welcome’ which was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and he even was singing it during his time at WWE
to get a sense of his vocal range. Lin tweeted about it and said that Dwayne was “the only
person who could pull off THIS chorus and still have you love him.” It is safe to say that all
voice cast and crew, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, worked long hours but Dwayne admitted he enjoyed
working with the songwriter and tweeted, “My guy finally had one day off from a little known show
called HAMILTON, and flew down from NY to Florida to be my maestro and human metronome.
We pushed all our chips in on this one. So fun”. Also, Dwayne joked that he worked so hard that
he needed therapy after it as he spent so much time working in small rooms in Boston, Atlanta,
and Miami with Jared Bush and he admitted, that he enjoyed it as well.
John Rocha also revealed that he was so proud that he was being cast by Ron Clements and John Musker
to record the scratch track for all of The Rock 's lines so they could pitch Moana to him. He says it
was such a blessing to work with legends to help pitch another legend. The Rock was proud to join
the Disney family as well and he explained why. He said, "The biggest reason I wanted to be a part
of the movie was that it was an opportunity to showcase a culture that was very important to me.
‘Aloha Spirit’ is something that is very special; it’s very meaningful to us and our Polynesian
culture. It’s intangible. When you get off the plane and your feet touch the ground there;
energetically, it takes you to a different place. That’s ‘Aloha Spirit’. The opportunity that we
had, as Polynesians, to bring to life a story of our Polynesian culture in this capacity with
our great partners at Disney – and musically with the masters on this project – was a really special
opportunity for us. This is a history-making movie and I am not saying that because I am a little
biased. This truly showcases the Pacific Islands for the very first time on screen this way."
Nancy Cartwright – The Simpsons The Simpsons is a really unique TV show as it
runs for 35 years so far and there are 33 seasons! Another unique thing about the show is that it
predicts the future sometimes and many characters are voiced by only one actor! For example,
Dan Castellaneta voices Homer, Abe Simpson, Krusty The Clown, Barney Gumble, Mayor Quimby,
and Hans Moleman. Nancy Cartwright voices even more characters: Bart, Kearney, Todd Flanders,
Nelson Muntz, Maggie Simpson, and Ralph Wiggum and some others. The actress revealed that she came up
with Nelson Muntz's iconic "haw-haw" laughing insult in a recording process. Nancy said that
she started thinking of her character when she was assigned with Nelson and she asked herself, "Who
is he? What does he sound like?" She continued, "I'm thinking, 'What does a bully sound like?'
That's really all I thought of. What does a bully sound like?". Nancy also said that Nelson's famous
"haw-haw" line was similarly improvisational in its origin. It was written in the script as
"haw haw," so the actress had to come up with the sound herself. And now, voila, it is really famous
and memorable and when you want to troll someone you probably do that sound as well. Am I right?
Kim Kardashian – Paw Patrol There’s probably no business
left that Kim Kardashian has not set foot in. Kim extended her empire by voicing an animated movie
about puppies and she gave her signature voice to a white poodle named Dolores. Kim shared her
excitement about working on the Paw Patrol online, as usual, but she was more excited for her fans to
hear her voice in the movie. She tweeted, "I’m so excited for you guys to hear me play Delores
in @PawPatrolMovie!" She also wrote that she is a cool mom now because her kids love Paw Patrol! Kim
even posted a behind the scenes photo of herself recording her voiceover work in the studio.
