Top 10 Disney Celebrity Voice Performances

[@soursop4]

Random fact for the day: Paige O'Hara, the voice actress for Beauty and the Beast, actually cries during the scene where Beast died. After her emotional performance the people at the studio asked if she was okay, to which her tears instantly dried up and she replied, "Acting!"

[@TheSpamSpecialist]

The second I saw the title of the video, I knew that Robin Williams as Genie would be #1

[@Excalibur-Sonic]

+Amberdiamondswords That man deserves it fully. Rip Robin.

[@MrJechgo]

+Jackie Jones While we can go on about how his role as the Genie was amazing, how tragic his death was and such, I think that Williams needs to be mentionned for one more reason: he was the first non-voiceover actor to be brought in. I may be stretching it a bit (perhaps Chad could enlighten me on this), but all the other actors that worked for Disney films before Aladdin were people who worked on radio and other audio-only medias. Robin Williams wasn't a voice-actor, but a stage comedian and actor. After Aladdin, Disney started to cast known celebrities as their characters, not just for marketing reasons, but also because Williams showed them that regular actors with little to no experience in voice acting could voice animated characters. Like I said, my sources are a little vague (I believe that Troy Baker, a famous anime/video game voice actor, mentionned that part in one of his convention panels), but I think that without Williams, this Top 10 wouldn't have seen the light on day. Feel free to check the release dats on every movie presented here: Aladdin is the oldest one.

[@signalfirefly]

+MrJechgo Bob Newhart was a comedian and TV actor before voicing Bernard in The Rescuers in 1977. Robin Williams may have brought celebrity voice acting into prominence, but he was by no means the first.

[@MrJechgo]

signalfirefly Fair enough ;)

[@Goleon]

+Amberdiamondswords When his top five came up I was like "Yes, yes, yes, hell yes, CALLED IT!".

[@KolorMixStudios]

"But never duplicate Genie of the lamp." That line that Robin Williams says himself perfectly sums up the character and his performance.

[@MrThedorkknight]

+Casey Zalesky I don't envy the guy who will have to replace him in the upcoming live action remake.

[@TDF9055]

+MrThedorkknight There isn't going to be one, is there?

[@Giltfurball442]

I'm just as sad as the next that robin Williams passed away but it would be good to see who could do the best impression to give the adianse wat they want

[@MrThedorkknight]

TDF9055 I think Disney said 2017. I'm not sure though.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

+MrThedorkknight im sorry what!? live action remake WHY!? IS!?!? DISNEY?!?!?!?! DOING ??!THIS?!?!

[@BladeBlur]

I'd like to list some of my favorites that didn't get a mention but I thought should: Tony Jay as Frolo - His voice alone sends shivers to my spine. He is scary, menacing and downright diabolical, but also has a more vulnerable side with "Hellfire". I think him not being an honorable mention is a miss. Robby Benson as The Beast - Considering he was a teen heartthrob it's shocking how he turned out such a great performance, his pipes are something else. Kristen Bell as Anna - It's funny you mention Mandy Moore, because I think Kristen Bell did the same thing with Anna, but way better. I felt that Rapunzel was more stereotypical while Anna seemed more grounded in comparison. Josh Gad as Olaf - It's hard to the be comic relief sidekick and not be overbearing, but Josh Gad nailed Olaf but not making him overly loud and talk fast, but just exudes a ridiculous amount of friendly energy and heartfelt delivery. Amy Poehler as Joy - She had the most screen time so he had to have various amounts of changes to her character compared to the rest, but she managed to hold the whole movie together. It was a great treat to see her do the more serious lines as opposed to just the straight up comedy she is known for. Peter O'Toole as Anton Ego - Ratatouille is a movie that I love the plot and its message more than its characters, but at the top stand the subtle and brief performance of the late great Peter O'Toole, who delivers perhaps the best monologue in Disney history. George C Scott as Percival McLeach - It's George C Scott. The guy's voice fits a villain to a T. I don't have much to say. Ellen DeGeneress as Dory - She is still my favorite host at the oscars, I don't mind watching portions of her talk show, for a guy who doesn't like shows of that kind, and she did wonders with Dory. Most quirky characters are usually male, but it's so refreshing to see one performed by such a great female comedian. Bruno Campus as Prince Naveen - I love his take on the traditional Disney prince and he by far has the biggest arc going from an arrogant airhead to an empathetic individual. The way Bruno delivers his comedic lines is definitely a thing of laughter. last and not least Gilbert Gottfried as Iago - I know many people dislike him, and he seems to get a lot of roles as birds, but I really have a hard time imagining anyone else as the loud obnoxious parrot. In fact, a lot of his better moments come in the sequels and the TV series, but even in the original Aladdin he was a great foil to Jafar.

[@LoneWolfZakuro14]

I'd like to request a "worst" version of this list.

[@annnee6818]

that might be funny :)

[@asgth6147]

i think i just figured out why they made Yzma become a cat, her voice actress played Catwoman in 1960's Batman

[@thecuttlekid2758]

hey youre right! i never realized that...cool!!

[@jugsyarts]

She also voiced Catrina, a cat witch from the 80's MLP special Escape from Catrina

[@mayfl0wers]

+asgth th I just realized that too o.o

[@LewToons]

+asgth th haha - never even occurred to me - good call though!

[@QuintDunaway]

Un-Disney related. Robots is such an Underrated movie. I love it so much.

[@tomgreene5531]

Same

[@cherryade_xenoblade7923]

It was the first movie I could sit down and watch the whole way through.

[@sketchribbon5525]

Same here

[@DontBeASadPanda]

I was holding my breath waiting on Hades. I was not disappointed.

[@saikyocentral]

Wait you're not dead!

[@whovianhistorybuff]

I was waiting for Ellen Degenares as dory I was disappointed

[@susanjoyce4244]

As much as I love Rapunzel, I was suprised Snow Whites voice actress wasn't here. Her voice is just so unique, and her actress was told that she couldn't preform in anything else in order to preserve it.

[@rustyshackleford4933]

I'd have gone with James Woods for the number one spot. On a side note, he loved Hades so much, he actually voiced Hades for any other games or other side projects that featured Hades. In other words, James Woods lends his voice for Hades in the Kingdom Hearts games. I find that so interesting.

[@CeraAshrax77]

I found myself wondering how many of these actors voiced their characters in KH. So we've got James Woods as Hades and Kathryn Beaumont as Alice and Wendy. And probably Jodi Benson as Airel. Plus all the official actors for the other princesses and Mickey and crew.

[@rustyshackleford4933]

CeraAshrax77 I love when original voice actors commit to their characters. It shows how down to earth they can be. The impersonators, however, are kind of funny to me. It's like they find counterfeit or knock off actors to try and fit the roles.

[@Goleon]

+Rusty Shackleford It's like the guy who voices Fat Tony in Simpsons. He's stated to the show's staff that even if it's his character grunting he'll be in the recording booth to do that.

[@xelic1996]

+Rusty Shackleford I hate how so many voice actors didn't come back for KH

[@GiordanDiodato]

+Rusty Shackleford He's also a fan of Kingdom Hearts.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Fun fact about Hades: James loves the role so much, he's on record saying that whenever Hades appears, he would be glad to voice him. Not every actor can say that about their character.

[@LewToons]

+TheHeroOfTomorrow i know right?!?! I dug that fact up while writing this video and he's really stuck to it - - very very cool

[@LudicGamer]

*Shows 3DS Game* "Game Boy Game." NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A HAM SANDWICH. That's never gonna' get old. :D

[@LewToons]

+Ludic Gamer ^ X'D

[@tomgreene5531]

+LewToons are you ever gonna talk about the new Charlie Brown "peanuts" movie?

[@TheOneManWhoBeatYou]

+LewToons You ever plan to do a top 10 voice actor/actress list for just general animation not just Disney?

[@LudicGamer]

LewToons Sorry that after you replied to my comment, you got multiple people asking you to do stuff. Thanks for the reply, by the way.

[@Goldy12378]

+Ludic Gamer Love that catch phrase!

[@sandracaraballo9830]

YMZA WAS VOICED BY MADAM ZERONI????? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?? Also, on a side note, I always felt like Scar was influenced by Shere Khan. They both have this sophisticated air to them, that compliments their brand of evil. Scar def has more personality, but I still feel like Shere Khan kinda paved the way for Scar.

[@signalfirefly]

+Sandra Karr Oh my GOD how did I not KNOW that?! HOW DID I MISS THIS? I am hearing her voice in my head right now and it is BLINDINGLY obvious. HOW have I never realized this.

[@straburyred]

+Sandra Karr You're probably right, but Scar definitely paved the way for a suave, restrained, Machiavellian class of male antagonists for Disney. Face it: we wouldn't have Frollo, Shan-Yu or Hans w/o Scar.

[@sandracaraballo9830]

straburyred Totally, I absolutely agree. I just love the Jungle Book and it makes me sad that a lot of people don't even know who Shere Kahn is, because he's not as iconic and Scar.

[@marieflynn9420]

My thought process during this whole video: David Spade,David Spade, David Spade, David Spade... Ah, there he is.

[@Goleon]

+Marie Flynn I screamed happily when I saw him.

[@pigeonpie257]

I agree so much with the number one pick! Genie is such an amazing character and really made Aladdin the great film it was. Robin Williams was truly one of the greatest actors ever, at least in my opinion. Great list :D

[@crystalxxx632]

"Yzma is what I really know Eartha Kitt for." Same for me.

[@skeletonblue3063]

The minute he said Robin Williams was number 1 I seriously smiled and out loud said, "Oh my gosh! Robin Williams!"

[@CalebBelyeu]

here is my 5 favorites in order.. 5. Jonathan Freeman as Jafar 4. Tom Hanks/Tim Allen as Woody and Buzz 3. Eddie Murphy as Mushu 2. Jeremy Irons as Scar 1. Robin Williams as the Genie

[@Poison_Skye]

oh my god...Treasure Planet is one of my favorite animated movies that no one I know ever seems to talk about...I used to quote the "dancing with an android named Lupe" line ALL the time! And yes, Robin Williams as Genie will forever be the best...although him as the bat in Fern Gully is one of my other favorites...just anything Robin Williams, really. Perfect list...so much fun to watch

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Yeah, it's funny and random when B.E.N. shouts "WAS I EVER DANCING WITH AN ANDROID NAMED LUPE?!"

[@latieraeve]

Vincent Price!! Why did you have to die when animation stared booming DX!!!

[@SweenyTodd98]

+latieraeve at least we still got to hear him give a brilliant performance in The Great Mouse Detective

[@latieraeve]

SweenyTodd98 and The thief cobbler or whatever title that movie decides you use!

[@elijahblechman8633]

+latieraeve you know he loved doing stuff for kids because when they grew up they would go back and see the older stuff, what is your favorite non- animation Vincent Price performance?, since it is almost October

[@latieraeve]

Elijah blechman I havent been able to see much but I watch the 10 commandments every year and his role in that movie is so Hammy I love it!!

[@oliverhayhoe]

+Elijah blechman I'd say House Of Wax

[@undeadrocket101]

Holy shit! I remember every time I watched The Lion King, my dad would talk EXACTLY like him! You wouldn't tell the difference!

[@undeadrocket101]

By him, I mean Scar.

[@44BlueFoxes]

Vincent Price only gets an honourable mention?! Pretty sure that was his only role that featured singing. And that's a majorly underrated Disney villain song.

[@tektekfighterb5]

This was literally the best video you could've made on my Birthday. Thanks for the accidental present :D

[@tektekfighterb5]

And now after watching it I can say that robin Williams as the genie is also my favourite one. Couldn't have been better :)

[@CoalMineTed]

I love the little touches of personality you add to your videos, like snapping away the Mic. It really puts your videos above the others and makes them your own. Great work Chad!

[@LewToons]

+Chris P Hey I really appreciate that! Sometimes when I'm toiling away adding little bits of polish like that at 4am, I think "no one besides me even cares about this stuff" - - glad to know its noticed :)

[@jamielawson9001]

Billy Chrystal is my favourite. Mostly because I was obsessed with Monsters Inc. as a kid. Nice job Chad!

[@DigitalMoonstone]

Not even an honorable mention for James Earl Jones?

[@stephenbentley7314]

The best god damn lion sith the world ever saw

[@Bwittanee]

I've been marathoning your videos for the past few days and now I feel extremely compelled to binge re-watch every cartoon movie Disney has ever made ever.

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

Damn, honestly your videos are so professional, yet your personality shines through. You're such a delight to watch, Disney month is my particular favourite series of yours as Disney is the bomb obviously, but I find myself watching all of your videos over and over! You tick all the damned boxes - So informative and funny, you are by far my favourite youtuber! Thanks for putting so much effort in! x

[@LewToons]

+Freya Mary Thanks so much - that means a lot to me - - I've got some really fun videos coming this week!

[@DrIronbuddah]

That music straight out of the game for Robin Williams.

[@crazyk8lady562]

Hyped for Disney month!

[@callmeblubber5038]

I feel like billy crystal put so much into mike because of his regret in not excepting the role of buzz lightyear

[@ArthurTRead]

Yeah I feel that too

[@Lumicatti]

What about the rat from the great mouse detective! I think he is my favourite! He obviously enjoys what he is doing and it just fits him!

[@LewToons]

+Lumicatti ya! Vincent Price did a great job with him :D

[@Lumicatti]

LewToons Yes! I didn't know the name but the tone he does it, ah, I am a big Sherlock Holmes fan and I could just see him being a real Moriarty with that voice :D

[@lwanco1018]

+Lumicatti The new season of Sherlock starts in 2016, can't wait.

[@metageek7878]

Now I'm actually curious to see a list of non-Disney celebrity voice actors too

[@tenedria]

I think regular actors do well because voice acting is not that different from movie acting... You still have to believe in the lines and "be the character" and once that's done, usually the performance is believable... haha it sounds simple like that but not everyone has enough natural empathy to do it.

[@ginkomushi7950]

R.I.P. Robin Williams you will be missed

[@definitelycatherine7296]

Toy story was my introduction to Tom Hanks so every time I hear his laugh all I hear is Woody.

[@Webhead2319]

me too

[@dylandesselle8356]

Definitely Catherine Castaway was my introduction to Tom Hanks

[@facelessproductions9155]

okay the amount of bad puns in this video is fabulous XD

[@mickybussey]

Always find myself agreeing to your top 10s, really love your channel Lewtoons ☺️

[@anthoulaflegka4529]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!! Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Robbie Williams as Genie are my favorites but you mentioned some other performances that were outstanding!!! Nice work!

[@bloomcosplay]

So happy that Treasure Planet was on the list

[@miniman649]

first countdown of disney-month? With the rate of uploads so far, it will also be the last of disney-month.

[@crystalfairy912]

If I may refer to Tom Kenny in I Know That Voice with celebrity voices, "Yeah, it's easy for you! All you have to do is say the words!" Great list you got here :D

[@sammerp8656]

what about ellen degeneres as dory in finding nemo

[@whovianhistorybuff]

Sam Merp absolutely the character of dory was created with Ellen in mind how could she not even get an honourable mention?

[@h0lehearted]

My favorite celeb who was in a Disney movie was and will always be Vincent Price. Being known for his horror movies, and gets cast into the role of a rat, Ratigan. With the whole Sherlock theme to the Great Mouse Detective, he fit into Ratigan like a glove. The voice that can go from cheerful to pure evil is what makes Ratigan the perfect Disney villian. I don't really have much else, its indescribable beyond that point.

[@hannahkaylene7617]

To be honest, I also thought Ellen did an amazing job as Dory. And she is just like Tom Hanks on being comedic if needed and dramatic if needed. She is even better in Finding Dory!

[@johnsharpcomposer]

As soon as I saw the title I knew that Robin Williams was going to be #1

[@yvetteberner815]

She's not really affiliated with Disney, but I have to give major props to Tara Strong. Bubbles, Raven, Timmy Turner, Twilight Sparkle.. I simply love her voice acting!

[@MichaelSar12IsBack]

+Yvette Berner She was in both "Little Mermaid" sequels.

[@Doomsday-yo7lh]

+MichaelSar12IsBack She was in everything.

[@sylco1232]

[@groenfan851]

I LOVE SPONGEBOB BY KATIE Ahoyhoy! what about Phil Hartman from Kikis Delivery Service

[@ChaoticPochi]

I really love your bad jokes tbh haha. Good choices btw!

[@cappyrooftop]

@lewtoons one of my favorites is George Sanders as Share Kahn. I feel that he really took that role to heart and put a lot more than others would have

[@cappyrooftop]

@Lew Toons

[@demontorch]

My favorite voice actor is the God among voice acting. Jim Cummings

[@yotsubafanfan]

Shark fan of the sea He is AMAZING! I got to meet him at a local comic con and he was nothing less than an absolute sweetheart!!

[@FrosTehBurr]

As an animator and voice actor, I am glade to see a video showing excellent voice performers in animation. I have strong negative feelings for Chris Rock for that comment he made. Yeah voice acting is easy IF YOU'RE ALREADY FAMOUS! Meanwhile the rest of us WORK for voice acting, it's not handed to us on a silver platter. It's pretty disappointing when voice actors don't get much of a spotlight while celebrities get it easy.

[@skx444]

19:24 Gameboy cartridges sure look weird...

[@King-ty7mz]

I know right?

[@turtlelover4799]

+King Yeah. What's with that little thing on the top right?

[@King-ty7mz]

Turtle Lover Yeah, must be a misprint. What's this "3DS" it speaks of?

[@pastasauce4882]

+King it's that new phone? Right?

[@King-ty7mz]

WithASideOfCoolPlz I think so.

[@DamianUtrecht]

I totally agree with your list but I would've put Tony Jay as Frollo on David Spade's spot...

[@McCaffery]

Treasure Planet, Tangled ........................Joy through the ROOF :D

[@JSparkysteel]

Kinda surprised Mabel from Gravity Falls isn't on this list. XD

[@dawnwayfinder]

+JSparkysteel Well, this list seems to be comprised of strictly movies, but you're right Kristen Schaal is amazing.

[@happychaosofthenorth]

She's a great comedian, and I LOVE her as Mabel, she really is amazing. She always gives a top notch performance but the defining moment for me as far as Kristin Schaal's portrayal of Mabel goes was in "Not What He Seems" when she's crying about how much she wants to believe Stan despite everything. Such a raw, heartbreaking performance for a character that's usually so silly, hilarious and cheerful. But yeah, this is more a list for movies. Besides, would she be considered a celebrity? She seems to do a well balanced mix between stand up comedy and voice acting but as far as I can tell, she's not exactly a big name in Hollywood. Respected maybe sure, and certainly getting a lot of work, but a celebrity?

[@emmeoliver5007]

I think it was only for movies Other wise Kristen Scaal would definitely be on the list.

[@geekypines1793]

Alex said he would not have done gravity falls if she was not in it

At my old job, we had Frozen cereal selling on an end cap by my register. I only saw it from the corner of my eye. Shoppers would go, "Oh! They have Frozen cereal!" all the time, and they wouldn't buy it. I'd just be standing there like, "Why the heck would you freeze cereal...?" It took me so long to put it together XD

[@sarahmcmahon1838]

your channel was what made me fall in love with gravity falls and now im obsessed

[@SkylerB]

ive been training since i was little to be a voice actor, i always loved fooling around with voices and sounds. a lot of work goes into it. i still plan to be one and i will continue to work on my dream =]

[@princessrose1671]

I agreed with all of those voice actors you have put in this list. They made the movies I watched ten times better! 😍☺️

[@MGustave]

Aaaand now I'm incredibly sad about Robin Williams again.. The only public figure I really cared about when he passed..

[@taiasoncole8148]

Voice actors are really underrated IMO.... They should get attention as any other actor :/

[@Rio34461]

Some of My favorites include: David Odgen Steirs as Jumba in Lilo and Stitch, Nathan Lane as Timon from Lion King, Ellen Degeneres as Dory in Finding Nemo, Samuel L Jackson as Frozone, from the Incredibles, and Tony Shaloub as Luigi from Cars.

[@stephenbentley7314]

David Ogden Steirs is just overall a disney legend with jumba, Cogsworth and governor Radcliffe under his belt

[@sladikk]

[@paigecosgrove654]

I agree with Genie being number one Robin Williams is a wonderful man who brought heart and soul in anything he play. The kids of the 90's will miss him deeply. They is no one play a disney character better. RIP Robin Williams

[@coveycube6764]

No Ellen as Dory?

[@deepstrokes]

who else thought he was gonna tall about simba instead of scar?

[@Cheolleema]

James Earl Jones playing Mufasa - I genuinely don't think the role could have been dome so well by anybody else.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Funny how we went from casting semi-unknown actors to casting celebrities in only 30 years. One interesting thing I noticed in older Disney movies is that some of the cast have also been radio actors in the past, Eleanor Audley is one example I can think of from the top of my head, she's played many "strict authority figure" types on radio shows and made one off appearances in a lot of tv shows after her time with Disney. Hell, the voice of Aurora even went on to become a successful opera singer.

[@joldsaway3489]

Next, you should play the minion product game.

[@Nightfire613]

As much as I like Robin Williams as the Genie, I have to say that my favorite voice actor in an animated Disney movie isn't anyone on this list. It's Billy Joel in Oliver and Company, a famous musician in one of the most underrated feature length films by Disney ever! My other favorites that weren't on this list include Sterling Holoway as Winnie the Pooh, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Michael J Fox as Milo (Atlantis for thise who don't know), and OBVIOUSLY Vincent Price as Professor Rattigan (The Great Mouse Detective)!

[@misseli1]

Something that I love about Rapunzel is that her speaking style sort of reminds of Jodi Benson's Ariel in some way

[@kristofgriffin384]

My favorite Disney celebrity voice performances are Idina Menzel ans Elsa and Kristin Bell as Anna.

[@atotalfiasco4213]

I think some other damn good voice performances were Brad Bird as Edna Mode and Elizabeth Peña as Mirage from The Incredibles. They both have incredibly distinct voices, and, c'mon, who could ever forget Edna's monologue about 'no capes' and her 'comforting' Elastigirl?? As for Mirage, her voice is so pleasant to listen to, and it hit the mark for her character design. They meshed perfectly! But honestly, The Incredibles is chock full of top-of-the-line performances all-in-all.

[@AJCVYC93]

This list was perfect. I love robin williams and tom hanks. Great job, chad!

[@BradenRozman]

I really liked your list! Some of my favourites not mentioned here are Sarah Silverman as Vanellope Von Shweetz and Amy Poler and Joy.

[@GlassMoonlightAngel]

Honestly, for Disney, my absolute favourite voice actor was, and always will be James Earl Jones as Mufasa. Matthew Broderick as Simba is a close second but man does James Earl Jones do an amazing job as Mufasa with the tiniest blep of anger when Scar challenges him to that threatening parent voice to that desperation when he's hanging.. on the side of the cliff, begging his brother to help him *insert gushing waterfall of tears here* then getting thrown off

[@ruthiehenshallfan99]

Would you consider Ilene Woods a celebrity of her day? I do! Can you also do a Top 10 Disney Voice Performances from Lesser Known People? Also, thanks for getting the Jump5 song stuck in my head.

[@phantomdragon3893]

One of my teachers said in the movie Aladdin Robin Williams had only one line, but then he did a whole lot of improv. And the studio people said leave it, and the rest is history.

[@MrJechgo]

You might want to add that Robin Williams sang both A Friend like Me and Prince Ali. You know how these days we have different actors, one for talking and one for singing unless the actor is a singer? Yeah, Williams wasn't a singer, but dude he did knock the ball out of the park with his songs. Sure, Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Idina Menzel as Elsa both talked and sang, but for Williams, it was an extra challenge. As for my faves: - Danny DeVito as Phil (Hercules); dude, the PENGUIN as a grumpy satyr XD I believe he sang the song too. - Lewis Black as Anger (Inside Out) - Scott Adsit as Baymax (Big Hero 6) - Idina Menzel as Elsa (Frozen); she nailed it perfectly with the song as well. - Tony Jay as Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) - Jason Lee as Syndrome (The Incredibles)

[@cameronhind08]

If this was for dreamworks the voice actor of shriek should be #1

[@LewToons]

+cam hind the voice actor of shriek - george toots

[@dylandesselle8356]

Awesome list! My favorites are Phyllis Smith (yeah, I know, she's not the most well known) as Sadness in Inside Out and Sarah Silverman as Vanellope in Wreck It Ralph :P Also, did you really call that Frozen 3DS game a Gameboy game XD

Ertha Kitt (Yzma) also had some struggles since the movie was going to be "the kingdom of the sun" and changed due to finance problems; she was going to be yzma still but at a bigger role, like an epic movie villian. Still after all that chaos and changing directors, she did amazing!

Also for Scar I think Jeremy Irons's acting is very similar to Jude Law's in Rise of the Guardians. I don't look for big and scary typically; I look for unsettling. That's what I got from both characters, and exactly why Scar and Pitch Black are two of my favorite movie villains of all time. (Also, to continue on about Jude's performance, when I read The Guardians of Childhood books I read Pitch's lines in Jude's voice. It made him THAT much creepier. Such a good casting choice!)
