Here is an interesting award category!

My list has to start off with a lifetime achievement award to Mel Blanc for his work on the Looney Tunes shorts.  Just watch them and be amazed.

On to my nominees:

Hans Cornried as Captain Hook in Disney's Peter Pan

Robin Williams as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin

Minnie Driver as Jane in Disney's Tarzan

George Sanders as Shere Kahn in Disney's Jungle Book

Benjamin Whitrow as Fowler in Dreamwork's Chicken Run

Miranda Richardson  as Mrs. Tweety in Dreamwork's Chicken Run


What are your nominees?


Thanks,
Rob

I've gotta go with Kevin Spacey as the lead grasshopper "Hopper" in "A Bug's Life"....what a villian!  Ellen Degeneres as the Blue Tang in "Finding Nemo" also gets a great kudos...

Oh man I forgot all about Ellen Degeneres! She was brilliant in Finding Nemo.  Good choices.

The Pixar films definitely have some good ones...Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, Billy Crystal and John Goodman in Monsters Inc., etc...

Whoever does the voices for the Simpsons... There's a lot of overlap on who does what so, I like them all. :)

Also, the voices for the original Rocky and Bullwinkle show always made me laugh.  Especially the voices during the 'Fractured Fairytales' piece.

Carlman,

Go to Bravo networks website and keep and eye open for the Iniside the Actors Studio schedule.  He had the cast of the Simpsons on there and they all answered his questions in character....it was hilarious!
