Top 10 Best Celebrity Voice Performances in DreamWorks Movies

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I always loved how Eddie Murphy's performance as Donkey is just as iconic as his performance as Mushu!

[@theponyofglory8545]

Agreed, Tho it's too bad that Eddie hasn't done a lot of voice acting in his career i mean with him it just Mushu in Mulan and Donkey in the Shrek movies and that's it...But i think i once heard somewhere that Eddie himself said that he wasn't really interested in voice acting, so yeah that explained a few things.

[@kaiumeda3690]

3 year gap

[@amberjohnson4820]

I LOVED him in both characters! He’s so iconic!

[@sanmantheartman429]

I always love Eddie Murphy do voices in different characters

[@amahrrinsampson3030]

I've known donkey since I was a baby

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

Eddie Murphy literally one of the best of all time. Who remembers voting for him at the Nickelodeon kids choice awards.

[@MrGabeanator]

yep

[@taylorwatts9391]

YASSSSS!!!!

[@speedybois5794]

And Sherman Klimt and buddy love from the nutty professor

[@jayngb]

So glad Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy was on this list. They both did great as Marty and Donkey, and the characters are kinda similar.

[@superyoshibrosjgplush7671]

Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, and Eddie Murphy as Donkey were one of the best celebrity voices for DreamWorks movies. The two characters are funny, and lovable sidekicks to the Shrek films.😂🤣🐴😼👢🗡

[@kershabeaver3312]

Facts

[@peppermint1349]

They were best voice overs of any animated movies ever! I love them so much

[@tarryteeth]

Lol

[@HannahBanana126]

Jay Baruchel in HTTYD is one of a kind! I can't imagine anybody else playing Hiccup!😍🖤 And also America!

[@klilsharon8451]

YES!!! the cast of this movie is simply perfect❤

[@westerfrost3701]

I agree.

[@marleecorrell1486]

Agreed

[@OlaOla-ct4nu]

Prince of Egypt deserve more attention - songs and emotions 🔥

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

Indeed. It's still my favorite Bible and DreamWorks movie.

[@kershabeaver3312]

Yes

[@justineves3588]

you are right it is one of the very best movies ever with a amazing voice cast too

[@WrenFaithBridger]

Agreed. The movie version of "When You Believe" beats the Mariah/Whitney version, 100%.

[@jenniferfaux-campbell8175]

Agreed. I'm not one for biblical movies, but The Prince of Egypt is a masterpiece

[@WiseDragon50]

Eddie Murphy for sure is Iconic. Brad Pitt as Sinbad, Jack Black as Po, Kevin Klein in Road to El Dorado. So many great talents that made childhood Golden 👌

[@asha_vere]

I'm surprised they didn't mention Road to El Dorado

[@speedybois5794]

Jack also played lenny from shark tale and brad Pitt played metro man as well

[@johnpaczkowski989]

Kate Winslet is underrated as Rita, a aid to flushed aways fantastic voice casting, but Ian McKellen who may have outshined the whole voice cast deserves all the credit

[@harveyquezada1056]

Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, Jay Baruchel as Hiccup and Jack Black as Po are just fantastic!

[@arielle8010]

And NO ONE can top them!!!! Their just SO GODLY GRAND!!!!!

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

I like Eddie Murphy voiced as Donkey from the four Shrek movies (2001/2004/2007/2010) and so does Mushu in the 1998 Disney movie “Mulan”. Eddie Murphy loves the 1985 song “Party All The Time”.

[@starryagent9936]

One of my favorites is Gary Oldman as Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. Evil yet somehow witty at the same time

[@LemonEditsAndReviews]

I don’t care what anyone says Madagascar and Megamind will always be treasured in my heart

[@yjvs1009]

100% Eddie Murphy deserved the #1. What would Shrek be without DONKEY!!👏🏽👏🏽

[@misimatokastanley]

Literally I'd want a series for donkey so much

[@nickalvizo]

@@misimatokastanleyEven Eddie Murphy himself said that he would like to see Dreamworks made a movie about Donkey

[@misimatokastanley]

@nickalvizo very much just like how puss in boots got his two movies and also want donkey as well but what would donkeys storyline be

[@robertreid1579]

Whoever cast Eddie Murphy as the voice of Donkey made the perfect choice.

[@BlazerK1914]

Ralph Fiennes went from Rameses (Moses' Egyptian Brother), to Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter's arch-enemy).

[@cartoongirl0375]

You should’ve put Jerry Seinfeld, David Schwimmer, Ben Stiller, Will Smith, Jim Parson, Rihanna & Jennifer Lopez they were also great voices

[@lexkanyima2195]

John Goodman

[@tigerclaw8775]

I would include: 1. Bruce Willis as RJ: Over the Hedge His portrayal as the crafty raccoon was as smart as Bruce Willis himself 2. Kevin Hart as George Beard: Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie The actor who portrayed Snowball the Rabbit surprisingly killed it for an elementary school student 3. Zach Galifianakis as Humpty Dumpty: Puss in Boots His villainous portrayal of Puss in Boots’ blood brother cracked open a good side of him in the end And 4. Jennifer Saunders as The Fairy Godmother: Shrek 2 Not only is she a somehow magical voice for the character but she also has a great singing voice

[@cartoongirl0375]

That is so true

[@that1nerdyblackgirl736]

say whatever you want shark tale's writing, the VA cast, animation and music production was S tier work

[@lionelyoung3437]

[@zakirstocks9514]

I Absolutely Love and Adore Eddie Murphy as his Best Voice Performances of Mushu the Dragon from Disney's Mulan and Donkey from DreamWorks Shrek movie franchises!

[@moviesmusicandmore653]

Awesome video but I actually screamed at some of the big names you forgot. These include but are not limited to: Will Smith, Hugh Jackman, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Hart, and Jackie Chan. I certainly understand trying to list one character per franchise, but I would’ve loved some type of recognization for these actors and many more.

[@christianparrish6647]

The prince of Egypt is my childhood.

[@khalidhenry3857]

My favorite DreamWorks movies are Monsters Vs. Aliens, Abominable, Captain Underpants, and the How to Train Your Dragon franchise (which should have won the Oscar)

[@zackrules4797]

Ralph Fiennes really does a fantastic job voicing Ramses, giving the character a very simply complex and sympathetic, but he is also pretty menacing as well. It’s such a juicy phenomenal performance right out of Shakespeare, and he’s portrayed just perfectly.

[@Fictionboy16]

I feel like this should've been a Top 20, because there are way too many to list. Also, there would be a max of two celebrities per movie.

[@cyritag.5986]

Steve Carell as Hammy in "Over the Hedge". This should have been a top 20. Its sad that DreamWorks animation don't get as much love as other animation movies get.

[@etherealbeauty_sf3799]

Jay Baruchel IS Hiccup and it's my absolute favourite Dreamworks animated saga!!

[@marissamay8527]

You forgot to mention John Malkovich as Dave from "The Penguins of Madagascar"!

[@lindildeev5721]

And Benedict "Pengwing" Cumberbatch as "Classified. Pretty ironic, isn't it ?

[@lindildeev5721]

@Simon Dyer There's also Ben Stiller as Alex and Eddie Murphy as Marty.

[@marissamay8527]

@@lindildeev5721 Marty was voiced by Chris Rock!

[@marcusyates3044]

Favorite: Jack Black as Po from Kung Fu Panda! Skadoosh!

[@jessetorres8738]

Sometimes I wonder if the Shrek franchise would have been as successful had Chris Farley not died and was able to voice Shrek in the 1st film?

[@stephvandykeozzy]

That would've been interesting.

[@bahesb2419]

Megamind,po,hiccup and donkey(alongside shrek)are the greatest dreamworks characters of all time!

[@AA-dy3qw]

Too many to choose from but here's who deserved a mention -John goodman as layton in the bee movie, he basically plays the same character as he did in the borrowers -miranda Richardson as Mrs tweedy -Kenneth brannagh as Miguel from the road to el dorado All deserved a mention

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

*Chris Rock as Marty in Madagascar* yelling *"Oh, Sugar Honey Iced Tea!"* will always be one of the all time best lines ever. And, naturally, *Eddie Murphy's "And in the morning, I'm Makin' WAFFLES!"* 🤗🥰🤣😂🤣 *The top 3 of this list is utter perfection, Ms. Mojo!!!!* I am 52 years old and still watch *Kung Fu Panda* frequently. *"I see you like to chew.

Great video! Dreamworks always know how to cast great celebrities for their movies! :)

[@castlebyers6134]

Tales of Arcadia has the biggest ensamble of celebrities in a Dreamworks project and they give it their all.

[@redbearddan2000]

Ralph Fiennes also voiced another villain from a DreamWorks Animation film: Victor Quartermine from "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit"

[@khalidhenry3857]

I love Monsters vs. Aliens. The wedding scene is my favorite

[@bighand1530]

Same. It’s one of the more rememberable scenes for sure.

[@christianparrish6647]

I got introduced to Wanda Sykes in The New Adventures Of Old Christine.

[@jamalvargas6146]

Val Kilmer In The Prince Of Egypt Love that movie deserves more attention

[@olvialee7221]

I strongly agree with all of them

[@Jackie-McCann]

Ed Helms knocked it out of the park as both Mr. Krupp and Captain Underpants, but even more so the latter. You can just tell he was having the time of his life with the role!

[@karenrussell2923]

I absolutely love ❤️ Anna Kendrick in her role as Poppy from the Trolls franchise. Honestly, if she wasn’t in the Trolls movies I wouldn’t have loved 🥰 it, because Anna is pitch perfect 👍🏻 of playing the most adorable 🥰 troll throughout the franchise.

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Let's not forget Justin Timberlake he also appeared at DreamWorks various times his first appearance in a DreamWorks Animation film is "SHReK the THiRD" in 2007 as he was the voice role of "Arthur Pendragon" before he is the recognizable voice role of "Branch" for the DreamWorks Trolls franchise.

[@elephantbluepeter]

Ralph Fiennes' singing and performance in "The Prince of Egypt" makes me wish he played Javert in "Les Misérables" instead of Russell Crowe!

[@anniebunny722]

You can pick literally any of Aardman’s/Dreamworks collaborations and find fantastic voice performances: The entire cast of Chicken Run (super underrated movie in it’s own right), Helena Bonham Carter in Wallace and Gromit:Curse of the Wererabbit, Tom Hiddleston and Eddie Redmayne in Early Man, and so many more!

Murphy's BAFTA (the last major award ceremony held before the OSCARS) nomination for the first Shrek film, made him the first (and so far, only) actor to ever to receive a BAFTA nomination for a voice performance!

I want to give credit to Justin Timberlake for voicing Branch in the Trolls movie. He does an incredible job, and it’s no surprise Branch has an incredible singing voice.
