Top 10 Best Disney Sidekick Voice Performances

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella as Timon and Pumbaa are my personal favorites, and probably the most dynamic duo Disney has ever created, and played a major part in making _The Lion King_ as amazing as it is. But, I have to admit, thanks to Robin Williams, The Genie simply is better, in fact, he's the best side character ever, to the point where he almost feels like the main character.

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

What's even better is that they've worked together about a billion times. They truly are a dynamic duo.

[@pokestar2508]

LUAU!

[@TonyStark-ef8oz]

Love them. They're my favorite

[@ellie1981]

The Emperor’s New Groove is far too overlooked. “Why do we even have that lever?”

[@DuncanHall2070]

I definitely agree

[@kerioaks1407]

There was no script for the movie! It was all ad-libbed.

[@Yumi_Jay]

"How did we get here Kronk? By all accounts it doesn't make sense"

[@DuncanHall2070]

Wrong lever!

[@katiedambrozio9352]

Kronk wasn't the only voice he did he voiced Flynn from Skylanders he also voiced Joe Swanson in family Guy

[@livvyb3583]

My favorite sidekick is Sid in Ice Age. Slow, lazy yet loyal! Not only is he adorable but John Leguizamo did such a great job!

[@patriciaaturner289]

I agree. Different studio, but Sid is hard to beat.

[@chelseacanales8763]

Nathan and Erin voicing Timon and Pumbaa: best thing! They both bring back memories and fun in The Lion King

[@khalidhenry3857]

There's one thing I love about Disney: the fantastic voice cast

[@justineves3588]

Me too

[@vanessastegall]

Facts

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

Agree. Disney choose talent over big names. Beyonce once showed interest to be Tiana voice actor. The catch? She didn't want to go through audition. Disney said nope, and go with Anika Noni Rose, who got the role through proper auditions.

[@trinaq]

Rest in peace, Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried. They brought plenty of zany life into Genie and Iago respectively, and they will be forever missed. 😭😇

[@jcj268]

Don’t forget Angela Langsbury

[@decemberbaby_456]

Don't forget Samuel E. Wright as well

[@HikazePrincess]

"No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me"......if the live action movie had kept that line, it would've been that much better ^_^

[@davemeers37]

Williams as the Genie is the single reason I’ll never see the live action remake nothing against will smith no one even holds a candle to Williams

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I know that Angela Lansbury is iconic but I kinda wished that you had said all three sidekicks. Lumiere and Cogsworth are so iconic and so good. Especially Lumiere. The man (well candlestick) just radiates French and is super classy and hilarious

[@KARDisney]

It’s always been Genie!! He wins almost everything! Although Robin was my favorite comic legend. Miss him. My 2nd fav, Kronk! Love Patrick Warburton’s voice from the film!

[@michaelmonthey5974]

David Ogden Stiles, Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, Cliff Edwards, Phil Harris, and Robin Williams were some of the biggest influences on my childhood. May they all rest in peace.

[@barbaraeggleston6858]

It’s so sad that we have lost all of these amazing humans

[@epache315]

R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers and Tony Jay The Archdeacon and Judge Frollo are now in Heaven 😢 😭

[@TheCommenterDragon]

The character performances of these voice actors aren't just the best, They are absolutely legendary because the characters on this list may be Disney sidekicks but a lot of them were portrayed by big time voice actors!!!

[@RapFanatic4ever]

I gotta give it to both Gilbert Gottfreed who plays Iago and Robbin Williams who plays Genie in Aladdin . R.I.P. to them both

[@wiseflight031]

Just rewatch Aladdin the other day and I found myself quoting every genie line. Robin Williams made Aladdin. I miss him😢

[@MINGIRL1979]

Me too! Genie is my favorite character in Aladdin because of Robin Williams! I miss him so much! His humor is needed in the world today more than ever!

[@trinaq]

Patrick Warburton has a very distinctive voice, perfect for the lovable idiot Kronk. I also adore him as Buzz Lightyear, Joe Swanson or Coach Barkin from Kim Possible.

[@jaxscales6158]

When was he Buzz?

[@theupliftchannel]

Buzz? When did he do Buzz?

[@DuncanHall2070]

When was he buzz?

[@phoebegilliland8897]

He voiced Buzz for the '90s TV show "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command".

[@DuncanHall2070]

[@annafowdy]

You didn't mention how Josh Gad got not one, but two Annie Awards for playing Olaf. Now that we're getting a Frozen 3, let us see if he can grab a third.

[@janellerod4865]

Robin Williams had main character energy so of course he had to be number 1 ❤

[@michaelmonthey5974]

If there was a Top 10 Aladdin Characters list, Genie would definitely be number 1!

[@ultimatewitcherfan6677]

Indeed. So sad that he hung himself in his own house and was found dead. Apparently he suffered from depression and other mental health problems. R.I.P Genie 🧞‍♂️ 🙏

[@blugreen123]

The ladies who voiced the three fairies in Sleeping Beauty should have been honorable mentions!

[@MummaLlama]

Absolutely delighted that Robin got number 1. As if he’d be in any other spot. ❤

[@BG-be8di]

Very greats the sidekicks voices actors: The Genie, Mushu, Olaf and Timón and Pumba (the best sidekicks in all Disney plus their songs).. They did deserve to be at the top of the top, who else could have interpreted them? They really brought their characters to life and even improvised some of their lines

[@michaelmonthey5974]

The performers who voiced the seven dwarves also deserve a shout out!

[@vulpixfairy1985]

While I applaud the late but awesomely funny charms of Robin Williams as Genie (well deserved placing in the list), I also especially love the late Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts and her beautiful warm rendition of Beauty and the Beast.

[@ultimatewitcherfan6677]

I love the emperor’s new groove! “Pull the lever, Kronk! WRONG LEVER!!!!! Why do we even have that lever?” 🤣 Kronk always cracked me up pulling the wrong lever! Patrick Warburton made him such a lovable and funny, albeit dim-witted, character. Still, I wish he was #2 instead of #3… by all accounts it doesn’t make sense 🤪

[@maxiefairbanks8399]

Timon and Pumba might be two separate characters, but let's be real: they're a package deal.

[@sophieirwin3497]

Robin Williams was iconic as genie! And Mrs Doubtfire! Best, well known roles for him ever

[@seanhorace925]

Anyone feel these Disney sidekicks should've gotten on the list: .John Fiedler as Piglet from the Winnie the Pooh franchise .Jack McBrayer as Fix It Felix from Wreck It Ralph .Phil Harris as Little John, or Terry Thomas Sir Hiss from Robin Hood .Junius Matthews as Archimedes from The Sword in the Stone .Bill Thompson as Mr. Smee from Peter Pan

[@盧璘壽로인수]

Oh my Thunderer, Philoctetes I love your work

[@LucienSabre]

We all knew Robin Williams’ Genie would be top spot, he’s way more than a sidekick - he's basically a co-protagonist. 💞💞

[@adamgrunther1367]

I’m shocked that’s Gilbert Gottfried as Iago isn’t on this list but Terk from Tarzan and the Gargoyles from Hunchback of Notre Dame are honorable mentions.

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Iago was great, but so is Trek and pretty unique as Disney sidekicks go.

[@pohatu101]

Bold of you to assume Robin Williams' genie was the sidekick in Aladdin

[@michaelmonthey5974]

The world never had a friend like Robin Williams!

[@FriezaCold]

RIP Angela Lanbury😢 she was such an iconic actress. I always loved watching Mrs. Potts in beauty and the beast.

[@Jimmersaunt]

I think the actors who voiced the Dwarves at least deserved an honorable mention. I loved Patrick Warburton as Kronk-he was the best part of that movie!

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Honestly I wish that you had said Mrs. Potts, Lumiere and Cogsworth!! Especially Lumiere! He’s so French and amazing and has some insanely good lines! But so does Cogsworth!

[@kimberlyalessandroni9767]

Jim Cummings voices A LOT of Disney characters, including Hondo Onakha from Star Wars!

[@gilessaint-loup2426]

Yo!!! How could they forget Tigger!?

[@kimberlyalessandroni9767]

@@gilessaint-loup2426 I didn’t, he also plays Winnie the Pooh

[@dannysimion]

I always wish Robin did more voice acting. He seems so unlimited with comedic improvisations when given freedom to take a role and go to town with it. RIP good man.

[@michaelmonthey5974]

I love Edward Brophy’s vocal performance as Timothy Q. Mouse in Dumbo. He was the friend Dumbo needed the most.

[@bennymora3086]

I always feel like sidekicks should have their OWN spin-off films!🤩

[@ryank5424]

A lot of these take me back. Still funny today R.I.P to all those talents that are no longer with us. I feel they each left something unique behind and are able to live on at least a little through these great performances.

[@SlytherinReviews]

if I'm guessing correctly the late and greatest Robin Williams as Genie is number 1 as no one brings a character to life as he did. RIP Robin Williams, those that grew up with you in their lives still miss you to this day

[@marvinlett8300]

Thank goodness Josh gad aka olaf got on the list especially since it has been announced that we're getting a frozen 3 so hopefully we will see him reprise the role for the upcoming third movie I can't wait to see Olaf and the rest of the frozen gang on screen again for the upcoming frozen 3.

[@rockmacher]

God i love Kronk

[@sonic18shadow]

I will always love Genie. He’s my favorite but I was very surprised that Robin Williams still voiced him in an Aladdin computer game. It’s called Math Quest with Aladdin. He still makes impersonations in the game and it still makes me laugh.

[@frayhua9716]

What about Launchpad McQuack voiced by Terry McGovern he's has two jobs as Scrooge McDuck's favorite pilot and Darkwing Duck's sidekick.

[@RajaReign78]

You forgot that the guy who voiced Baloo the bear was also Thomas O’Malley from The Aristocats 😉

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

[@frayhua9716]

Jim Cummings took over for Paul Winchell as Tigger's voice after he passed.

[@jennifer3475]

As I love all of these sidekicks Timon and pumbaa are my comedy duo, genie is 1 of a kind. He is the star of Aladdin I always thought it should be called genie 🧞‍♂️ and Aladdin as the side kick lol

[@Moonboy65]

Patrick Warburton as Kronk at Number 3: "Oh yeah, it's all coming together."

[@ericgjovaag7958]

Aw, no Peter Behn and Tim Davis as Thumper in "Bambi"? All five actors playing the Dwarves in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"? Don't forget, these movies go WAY back, don't just focus on the more recent ones. (At least you got Jiminy Cricket and Baloo in.)

[@RoGueNavy]

I don't consider Robin Williams' Genie to be a sidekick. He's nothing short of a co-star.

[@OneRedRocket]

Number One should have been Timothy Mouse from Dumbo Because Dumbo is mute Timothy had to take the lead but never stealing focus from the central character That is why Timothy Mouse is Number One

[@Emily-cw7tj]

I admit that's a pretty good one

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I was today years old when I found out Jaq and Gus Gus AND Bruno were all the same guy!! That’s so cool!

[@flowertrue]

Oh boy, I am mad as a hornet! You relegated my great uncle, who absolutely DEFINED the concept of a Disney sidekick to the same level as freaking Ray, the gargoyles, and Turk? I mean he doesn't beat Robin Williams but for damn sure he's more iconic than the mice from Cinderella or Kronk (Don't get me wrong, I love the mice and I adore Kronk). You only passed him up because it's an older movie. The usual Millennial entitlement!

Love the list, but I think Phil Harris (Baloo) should have been in the main list; especially since he voiced 3 sidekick characters. Baloo, Little John in Robin Hood and To. O’Malley in Aristocats.

[@KBAFourthtime]

Back to the third HM (actually, 3rd through 5th in one), you forgot one: Jane Withers. Mary Wickes didn't live to do *all* of her lines, so Jane Withers stepped in for the rest; however, there's no telling when it was Mary speaking, and when it was Jane.)

[@maryjoyspohrer256]

As phenomenal as Genie is, my heart belongs to Baloo! I'm going to place them together at #1, Heaven must be a very happy place!

Patrick Worberten well as a good voice mada the correct representative actor for the character as I can say to grade it around as equal like E. Murphy Robin W. as gen gen genie ever can't be forgotten to play that other iconic character💯💯💯! Baloo and terk, great much well done work was do from these two artist to gave their voice for each one of on those characters👍👍👍!
