Veterans of Disney/Pixar Voice-Acting

by ztmillers-2 | created - 04 Oct 2013 | updated - 11 Mar 2022 | Public

For most people, voicing a character in a Disney animated movie is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but a lucky few get that chance more than once. Here are some of those lucky few.

I am only listing work done for Pixar or Walt Disney Animation Studios, hence why Jodi Benson's work for "Lady" is not credited for Disney Toons Studios "Lady and the Tramp 2," among others. Also, I am only documenting substantial contribution to Disney films. Voice actors credited for "additional voices," are appreciated, but I won't be adding them to the list.

This is a list I will continue to update as Disney continues to add more voice acting veterans to their count and as I discover more instances of one person voicing multiple characters. Feel free to point out any that I have missed. Just keep in mind the criteria I have listed above, and also keep in mind that I don't check this list daily, so it will likely be some time before I even see your comments.

Thanks and enjoy.
