These voice acting performances not only withstood the test of time, The actors who performed them made absolute history by playing their part in bringing these iconic animated characters to life! And if it wasn't for their amazing talent we probably wouldn't know all these characters as well as we do today!!!

The Oscars really should add a category dedicated to voice acting called best voice actor/actress in an animated film. Voice acting is an art in itself and takes as much emotion just as much as an actor in front of the camera.

Ed Asner in 'Up.' Actors in their senior years aren't usually asked to express the level of emotion Asner does in that movie, especially in his 'angry' scene when he lashes out at everyone. In that heartbreaking moment, the 79 year old Asner makes you really feel Carl's pain, and see the little boy inside the old man.

Two actors had additional Aladdin voices: Jerry Orbach was also Sa'luk in Aladdin and the King of Thieves! He was _wonderfully_ evil and threatening in the role. Dan Castellaneta was also Genie when Robin Williams wasn't in the role, ie the Aladdin TV series and Return of Jafar. He did a damn good job, too, considering the shoes he had to fill.

Here are some lesser-known/overlooked performances - John Hurt in 'The Plague Dogs' - one of the most gut-wrenching animated movies ever, and Hurt plays a dog whose brain is operated on, blaming himself for his master's death. Truly heartbreaking. Christopher Lee in 'The Last Unicorn' - Lee gives an almost Shakespearean turn as the movie's villain, making him sympathetic without losing any of his menace. James Whitmore in 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' - playing Mark Twain himself, he nails a blend of folksy wisdom, shrewd humor and bitter sadness. John Mills & Peggy Ashcroft in 'When the Wind Blows' - the two acting pros give heartbreaking life and death to an ordinary British couple suffering through a nuclear war. Saara Chaudry in 'The Breadwinner' - one of the best performances by a younger actress, as a smart, resourceful Afghan girl living under the Taliban. Elizabeth Hartman in 'The Secret of NIMH' - her natural fragility is what makes the character, and the whole movie work. Debbie Reynolds in 'Charlotte's Web' - not only is she caring, sensible and charming, she gives possibly the greatest death-scene performance in an animated film.
