pail Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 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.
Hornshire Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 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) 2
Bouvre Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 Tom Hanks (Toy Story) Ed Asner (Up) David Spade (Emperor's New Groove) Idina Menzel (Frozen) Thought I'd remember more honestly. 1
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 Is Maui enough of a "major protagonist" in Moana? Dwayne Johnson did that voice. 1

Same goes for Lion King. Who's JTT? Johnathan Taylor Thomas? Idk why I remember him. Can't remember anything he's been in.

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.

Idk why I remember him. Can't remember anything he's been in. 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.
pail Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 Also, I knew David Spade I just forgot that was 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.

pail Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 Kurt Russell voices Copper (the dog) in Fox and the Hound. And, funnily enough, Corey Feldman voices young Copper.

scoobdog Posted May 7, 2018 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.
Chapinator_X Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 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.

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. 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
