How’s it going all of you most amazing top teners?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
But first, I want to know, what is your favourite cartoon or animated movie?
Let me know in the comments.
I don’t know about you guys, but I loved watching Cartoons when I was growing
up.
But even to this day, I’m surprised to find out that a lot of famous actors are behind
some of my favourite cartoon characters.
So let’s take a look at the top 10 surprising voices behind popular cartoons.
Starting us off in at number 10 is Mila Kunis is the voice behind Meg Griffin.
Originally, Meg Griffin was voiced by Lacey Chabert during the first season but do to
a contract error she was replaced by Mila Kunis.
She got the role due to her performance on That 70’s Show and Seth MacFarlane said
that she was more suited for the role.
Mila Kunis makes a reported $175,000-$225,000 an episode which is an insane amount of money
for barely having any lines.
Moving into number 9 is Robin Williams as Genie.
Yeah no offence to Aladdin or Jasmine but we all know who the real star of that movie
was.
Back in the 90’s, Robin Williams’ career had sky rocketed.
In order to cast him, he was charging a fee of about $10.5 million per movie but he took
a significant pay cut to be apart of this Disney Classic.
He only earned $98,000 for his role as Genie but obviously it was worth it because Genie
became an iconic character.
Puss in Boots, Antonio Banderas makes it into number 8.
Yes that’s right, this cute little feisty orange kitten is voiced by Antonio Banderas.
He said that he created a new voice for Puss in Boots in order for him to sound more mysterious.
Antonio Banderas said he loved working on an animation film because you don’t have
to spend hours in make-up and you can go in your pajamas if you want to.
Number 7 is Zazu, Rowan Atkinson.
The lion king has to be my all time favorite Disney movie so I was a little bit surprised
when I found out that Mr. Bean was the voice behind Zazu.
I can only remember him from playing Mr. Bean and barely talking or mumbling, I didn’t
expect him to be a voice character but he did a really good job.
Fiona, Cameron Diaz makes her way into number 6.
This green ogre Princess is voiced by the famous Cameron Diaz.
Actually, this was her first voice animation project that she has ever done.
Shrek was released back in 2001 and since then
, she has always provided the voice for Princess Fiona for all of the Shrek movies, games and
rides.
And now number 5 we have Mushu, Eddie Murphy.
Mushu is the red dragon for Disney’s 1998 animated film Mulan who is hilarious, overconfident
and impulsive.
So it seems fitting that Eddie Murphy would do the voice over for this little guy but
Dinsey didn’t always have him in mind.
Originally Joe Pesci was cast as Mushu but the animators later felt that he wasn’t
right for the role.
Also, Eddie Murphy wasn’t able to provide the voice for Mushu in in the second Mulan
because he had a clause in his contract from Shrek 2 that prevented him for working on
other animated films.
Dracula, Adam Sandler sinks his fangs into number 4.
The directors of Hotel Transylvania decided to cast Adam Sandler as Dracula for their
animated movie despite all of the backlash from the public.
A lot of people thought that Adam Sandler wouldn’t do well as a voice actor because
he doesn’t have much experience doing it except for 8 crazy nights.
But I think he did really well and I always find him to be super hilarious.
Number 3 brings us over to Michael Cera as Brother Bear from The Berenstain Bears.
I grew up watching this TV show so when I found out that Michael Cera provided the voice
for Brother bear in 2003-2004 I was actually really surprised.
Here is a short clip from the show Were you guys able to tell that it was him?
Horton, Jim Carrey comes in at number 2.
Yep that’s right, Jim Carrey returned to the world of Dr. Seuss when he provided the
voice for Horton in the movie Horton Hears A Who.
In an interview, they asked Jim Carrey if it was difficult for him as a physical comedian
to be trapped in a sound booth and he said that it was a lot of hard work and he actually
felt sore for a lot of the days that he was working on the film because he would move
around a lot and fling his arms around so he felt like he was actually working on an
action movie.
Finally in at number 1 we have Vin Diesel as The Iron Giant.
During the beginning of the 90s, Vin Diesel agreed to take a role as The Iron Giant.
Even though this was the lead role of the series; the animated robot only said a handful
of words.
If this wasn’t surprising enough, his voice was also featured in Marvel’s Guardians
of the Galaxy as Groot.
I guess he really is a versatile actor.
Well there you guys have it…
