Okay, off the top of your head...

No Googling.

Name at least one voice actor that played a major Disney movie protagonist (obviously animated films, no Anne Hathaway answers plz, xp). And... eh, I guess Pixar films are allowed too (though I think those characters generally have more recognizable voice actors).

And by protagonist, I mean the main character. Obviously everyone knows Robin Williams played the genie, dragon Eddie Murphy, etc.

No ancillary characters. Princes, princesses, main characters only.

How many can you think of?

I'm kind of embarrassed to say this, but I couldn't think of a single one.

I'm probably forgetting someone really recognizable, and will feel like an idiot once one of you posts it.

Mel Gibson was John Smith in Pocahontas

Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story

JTT/Matthew Broderick as Simba in Lion King (Lots of the supporting cast are pretty well known in this one too)

Huh, I never realized that was Gibson in Pocahontas.

Same goes for Lion King.

Who's JTT?

Johnathan Taylor Thomas?

Idk why I remember him. Can't remember anything he's been in.

Is Maui enough of a "major protagonist" in Moana? Dwayne Johnson did that voice.

Ehhhh.... 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.

He was in the TV show Home Improvement. And a movie with Chevy Chase and indian scouts. Mostly he was just cute though.

Also just remembered that Demi Moore was Esmerelda in Hunchback.

The last thing I remember him being in was some turd where he had to wear a Santa suit the whole movie? For some reason?

Definitely much bolder in certain ways than most Disney movies, which doesn't help remembering it's Disney.

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.

You're right, he's just not the main character in the movie.

my mind is racing because im sure i know someone who acted in tarzan

I'll open it up to ancillary characters and villains as well.

There just really aren't that many recognizable leads in Disney's animated movies.

But, Michael J. Fox did play Milo in that... decent Atlantis movie.

I barely remember Tarzan.

They hyped the shit out of that movie and it just swung there like a limp dick.

Hercules' younger self was played by Josh Keaton. Mulan was Ming Na. One of The Rescuers was Bob Newhart.

For Pixar, Monsters Inc was John Goodman and Billy Crystal. James L. Brooks was Marlin from Finding Nemo. Patton Oswalt was in Ratatouille.

We think that's somewhat by design. 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
