Best Animated Voices (celebrity)

My posts have been non-existent lately! Sorry about that. But I've come up with a new list. I will try to post a new entry each day... I'll do my best.

I love cartoons! Some of my all time favorite films are animated, and I love it when the vocal performance is exceptional. I would enjoy seeing a new Oscar category: "Best Vocal Performance." Some of the best work is done by hired actors who are unknowns--like with a lot of the early Disney films and even the early 90's films (Jodi Benson in Little Mermaid, Scott Weinger Aladdin). But then a trend started with hiring celebrities to do the voice work. Sometimes it works really well (you'll see from my list of top 5), and sometimes it doesn't (Brad Pitt, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas).

Anyway, here are my top five favorite celebrity vocal performances! Enjoy!

Number 5:

Billy Crystal and his performance in Monster's Inc. of Mike Wazowski. Loved it! He didn't just use his own voice, but an original creation that was pure magic. Hilarious!
Best line: Mike: Oh, hey. We're rehearsing a - a scene for the upcoming company play called uh, "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me". It's a musical.

Mike: Put that thing back where it came from or so help me... so help me, so help me and cut. We're still working on it, it's a work in progress but, hey, we need ushers.
