Hollywood Voices

Anybody who's anybody in Hollywood these days has lent their vocal talents to an animated movie. So we take a look at some of the best movies to feature some famous Hollywood mumblings.

In the early days of animated movies, plenty of recognisable dulcet tones could be heard waxing lyrical over the top of the Mouse House classics.

The likes of Phil 'Baloo' Harris and Jodi 'The Little Mermaid' Benson were regulars on the Disney circuit, lending their talents to a number of animated adventures.

But in the 70s and 80s, being the voice behind a drawing was of little interest to the A-list stars.

For a while it seemed to be something a star could do, almost anonymously, in order to pay the bills.

After all, it's such a simple gig, standing in a recording studio while reeling off lines.

Yet since Tom Hanks and Tim Allen starred in Toy Story, it's not only an easy buck for the actors, but also something that can garner them critical praise and respect.

And nowadays, the only way to ensure you really are A-list is to make sure you get involved in one of Pixar's or Dreamworks' animated hits. And this month, Shark Tale provides Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Jack Black and Angelina Jolie with a chance to do just that.

So here's your chance to take a look at a selection of some of the best audio performances ever delivered by those Hollywood voices.
