Same goes for Lion King. Who's JTT? Johnathan Taylor Thomas? Idk why I remember him. Can't remember anything he's been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really allow it. I'm pretty much using The Genie as my point of reference for characters like that. He's in the movie a lot, he even has an arc... but the movie isn't about hm. Kind of like how LotR is about Frodo, and not Gandalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always confuse it with Road to El Derado, which is DreamWorks I believe. I liked both. Plus 'Road' has a pretty kick-ass Elton John track.

scoobdog Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I remembered John Goodman and Patrick Warburton were in "Emperor's New Groove." They're both mains as it were. Tony Shalloub, and Cheech Marin are in "Cars," but they're ancillary. Paul Newman is a main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hercules' younger self was played by Josh Keaton. Mulan was Ming Na. One of The Rescuers was Bob Newhart.

The idea being they'd rather have the main characters stand on their own merits, rather than be remembered because a star voiced them. Anywho, Beauty and the Beast- Angela Lansbury, Mrs. Potts. Hunchback of Notre Dame - Jason Alexander, Hugo Hercules - James Woods, Hades; Danny DeVito, Phil; Bobcat Goldthwait, Pain Toy Story- John Ratzenberger, Hamm; don't remember the actors name, but the guy who plays Vizini in Princess Bride was Rex Monsters, Inc. - Steve Buscemi, Randall Finding Nemo - Ellen Degeneres, Dory Lion King - James Earl Jones, Mufasa; Jeremy Irons, Scar; Nathan Lane, Timon; Whoopi Goldberg, Shenzi; Cheech Marin, Bansai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
