12 Celebrities Who Did The Voices Of Some Of Your Favorite Cartoons And You Had No Idea

By Missy aka Tizzy in Entertainment On 3rd February 2018

It is not always easy to figure out who the voices are behind some of our favorite cartoon characters. We get so caught up in the storyline that we never even notice that the voice behind our favorite characters might be a super famous celebrity. Some voices are obvious like when Eddie Murphy did the voice of Donkey in Shrek or when Ellen DeGeneres did the voice of Dory in Finding Nemo. Here is a list of 12 celebrities whose voices are behind some of the most famous cartoons.

Fergie - Sally Brown in The Peanuts

I would never in a million years have guessed this one. The voice of Sally Brown from The Peanuts belongs to American pop singer, Fergie. This was the first time that the world got to hear her voice.

Oprah Winfrey - Eudora in The Princess and the Frog

Oprah Winfrey is more than a talk show host. She is also a fantastic actress. Who would have guessed that she also did the voice of Eudora, Tiana's mom in The Princess and the Frog? Oprah's name is now on the list of the first voice actors to be a part of a Disney African-American princess movie.

Whoopi Goldberg - Shenzi in The Lion King

Whoopi has a very distinct voice, so you might have caught that she was the voice of Shezi the hyena in The Lion King.

Vin Diesel - The Iron Giant

Long before Vin Diesel became the face of The Fast and the Furious franchise, he was the voice of the robot in The Iron Giant. He was really good at making all of those guttural sounds which likely prepared him for his role as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Robin Williams - Genie in Aladdin

When you saw this movie as a kid, you were so entranced by Genie that you would never have thought that his voice was done by none other than the late great Robin Williams. As adults, we instantly catch that fact, and it tends to make us a bit nostalgic. He really was one of the greatest actors of all time.

Bruce Willis - Spike in The Rugrats Movie

You're telling me that the man who starred in Die Hard, The Sixth Sense, and The Fifth Element voiced Spike?! On the show, the dog only barked, but in The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats Go Wild, he had a lot to say, and Bruce Willis was the one to give him a voice.

Rowan Atkison - Zazu in The Lion King

I was totally baffled when I learned that Mr. Bean did the voice of Zazu in The Lion King. I think that I was so used to hearing him mumble that hearing him in a pompous English voice just throws everyone off.

Michael Cera - Brother Bear in The Berenstain Bears

The Arrested Development star was your little, friendly cartoon bear before he became awkward George Michael. We bet you would never have guessed that one.

Meg Ryan - Anastasia

She does not have the most distinct voice, but if you dyed Meg Ryan's hair red, she would look exactly like her character Anastasia. Meg Ryan did the voice work for this movie alongside John Cusack who was the voice of Dimitri.

Jay Leno - The Crimson Chin in the Fairly Odd Parents

I would think this would have been pretty obvious since the man and the character have so much in common with the exception that Jay's chin does not have superpowers in real life. No one could have been better to play the voice of The Crimson Chin.

Mila Kunis - Meg Griffin in Family Guy

That '70s Show star Mila Kunis plays the emotional and overly self-conscious teenage girl, Meg, on Family Guy. Most of us probably never noticed. However, if you are a really big fan of the show, you would have also noticed that the voice actors changed between season one and season two.

Michael J. Fox - Stuart Little

Michael J. Fox lent his voice to play our favorite cartoon mouse. But seriously, how did we not notice the voice of the man who played Alex in Family Ties? It was such an iconic show that so many of us watched and loved while growing up.
