I agree. Rest in peace, Mrs. Kitt. My condolences to your family and your friends. I give my support, care, and heart to you, your family, and your friends. May God Protect And Love You In Heaven With Love, Heart, Care, Peace, And Happiness.
The fact that she could pull of this feral, unhinged performance and also somehow have an incredibly sweet singing voice in songs like Santa Baby is mind-blowing to me
The fact that she died on Christmas day, and I quote from her daughter, Kitt McDonald, "She left this world literally screaming at the top of her lungs... truly believe her survival instincts were so part of her DNA that she was not going to go quietly or willingly"
I honestly don’t think Yzma would’ve been such a popular villainess if not for Eartha. Her voice and mannerisms were just so perfect for the role, I literally can’t imagine anyone else playing Yzma except her.
We always talk about certain VAs being perfect for some role but we don't often stop and think about how that's because of the VAs' part in defining their characters. Could they have cast someone else to play Yzma? Definitely. Would this other VA have done as good a job? Sure. Would it have been *this* Yzma? No way, not even close.
THIS! People don't realize that the powers that be don't really know what they're looking for when casting, and that goes for all mediums...film, theatre, etc. Almost the entire character gets created around who the actor is. Hercules became an entirely new film once James Woods was brought on board, and that's just one example. But I'm nothing but glad we have this version of Yzma because it truly was one of the greatest things Eartha ever did 🤣🤣🤣
Western VAs have always had a lot of influence in their characters. Maleficent's mannerisms came about because her VA suffered from health problems and had to make those same motions when in the recording booth.
"So to destroy our beloved traditions! This act of highest treason has but one punishment... DEATH! GUAAAAAAAAARRDS!!!!!!!!! Take him away!!" Great job, Eartha Kitt😀👍🏻
Eartha Kitt couldn't have done Yzma's voice any more perfectly. She absolutely nailed the role and cemented Yzma as my favorite character, potentially in any Disney film ever produced.
Just watching this short clip makes me feel like Eartha Kitt could’ve played Yzma even if the movie was live-action. And that’s really saying something considering how awesomely exaggerated the character was written to be!
Eartha Kitt is amazing but this might be her best work as a whole. She did such an amazing job bringing to life such a cartoonishly evil and hideous villain, noone else was as uniquely suited to creating such a striking and unique antagonist as she was.
Fans: wants her autograph Eartha Kitt: It is no concern of mine if you have, what was it? Fans: an autograph Eartha Kitt: Ha! You should have thought of that before you became fans!
She was the back bone of that entire movie. We will miss her. Now ... pull the lever Kronk... W R O O O o o o o n g l e v e r ! ! ! *splash* Someone tells me why we had that lever.
Apparently one reason Eartha Kitt loved being Yzma was because she loved that young children knew who she was and gained a new generation of fans because of this one role
She really was special! She voiced one of my all time favorite villains, Vexus in My Life as a Teenage Robot as well. She was really getting into it, that her headset leaped off. RIP
Eartha Kitt was a queen, an absolute legend. You can tell she had so much fun working on that movie (and series), and I'll bet the other actors had fun working with her (if they met her). She is dearly missed.
I always just liked Yzma as a villain-not because she’s evil ofc but because of how comical and over-the-top she is hahahaha she always gives me a good laugh. It’s great to see the actress behind her character!
A long time ago I had the full documentary uploaded to this channel, and then the Mouse blocked it. Honestly it’s a miracle this clip is still up and public.

Even the headphones were blown away by her performance
🤣 truly 👏🏼
🤣😂
(Rimshot).
Very true 😂😂
Fr haha
She won two Emmys back to back for her role as Yzma (for the series).
also 3 annie awards!
She deserved them and more
She deserves them. One of the best villains ever.
SHE VOICED THE SHOW???
@@CERTIFIEDBABEWRANGLERHow is it obvious for the My Life as a Teenage Robot show?
She gave EVERYTHING in all that she did... True legend!
Agreed!
The movie is almost 24 years old and we still talk about Eartha Kitt. Her voice acting in that was just extraordinary. Like the rest of her.
That's why "Santa Baby" is so awesome!
Just LOVED the fact they turned Yzma into a cat as a nod to her role of Catwoman
@ianrobertdavies8605she’s the first and the only one
@MyMediaArchive she’s not black
@@isis371wrong wrong wrong
Her connection to cats goes far beyond playing cat women
@MyMediaArchive Ik it wasn't the best superhero movie or even a good movie but is no one gonna mention Halle Berry
You can tell she had an absolute blast voicing Yzma
Said it was her favorite role and I believe it. She put everything into it
As she should! Who wouldn’t want the honor of voicing Yzma?
Eartha Kitt was consummately talented in everything she did. RIP. God bless
I agree. Rest in peace, Mrs. Kitt. My condolences to your family and your friends. I give my support, care, and heart to you, your family, and your friends. May God Protect And Love You In Heaven With Love, Heart, Care, Peace, And Happiness.
I love it how her phones fall when she screams
Her wig too.

This woman was a queen! She gave everything! What a true legend! There will never be another!
Whoa I thought she was still alive… welp… my days ruined

I wish there was more footage of her voice acting Yzma😭
Most definitely!!!

unrelated but Eartha Kitt's name is one of the most unique and beautiful names I've ever heard
So appropriate she got turned into a KITT-en
Not even the headphones could handle the powerful awesomeness of Eartha Kitt's voice.
RIP Eartha Kitt (January 17, 1927 - December 25, 2008), aged 81
You will be remembered as a legend.
She sang Santa Baby.
She may be imitated but she will never be replaced. RIP Eartha Kitt.
Yep, she was one of a kind!
They will never try and remake Yzma it would be a waste of time she’ll never be topped on that performance
One of the best voice acting I’ve ever heard. She WAS Yzma.
I thought that one of the best voice acting is like one I've ever heard she was yzma.
You can tell Eartha had an absolute blast doing this 😂😂 She was such a legend.
I love it, she was so into that role that her headphones fell off 🤣
GUAAAAARDS is amazing, and the headphones falling off is funny too, but the LOOK that she gives in between the two is absolutely sending me
"So to destroy our beloved traditions! This act of highest treason has but one punishment... DEATH!
GUAAAAAAAAARRDS!!!!!!!!! Take him away!!"
Great job, Eartha Kitt😀👍🏻
bellamovie2 I think it goes: "Oh, to destroy our beloved traditions. This act of highest treason........." and so on.
Fabian Hale Thanks
"Pull the lever, Kronk!" *falls through trap door* "Wrong lever!"
Which Politician is she referring to? Wait. I think i know.
*This act of highest treason
Lmaooo the angry pause after’GUAAAARDS’
Such a glorious lady, loved everything she ever did, and Yzma was one of my favorites!
She was and still is a HUGE talent!
R.I.P Eartha Kitt you were absolute perr-fection. And you we're brilliant brilliant brilliant.
Her voice is legendary for all rip queen we miss you

0:17 *GUARDS!!!*
I fell in love with this wonderful woman's voice as a kid. She was my Catwoman, and always will be.
She made that character, there was so much emotion and fun and energy.
I order to voice Yzma, she even ACTED like her to make her feel so authentic… Massive applause 👏🏻
*GUUUUUAAAAAAARRRDS!!!!!!!!!*
Eartha Kitt is amazing but this might be her best work as a whole. She did such an amazing job bringing to life such a cartoonishly evil and hideous villain, noone else was as uniquely suited to creating such a striking and unique antagonist as she was.
Rest In Peace🙏🤍🕊🙏♥️
Eartha Kitt was a goddess!
Fans: wants her autograph
Eartha Kitt: It is no concern of mine if you have, what was it?
Fans: an autograph
Eartha Kitt: Ha! You should have thought of that before you became fans!
Shes so wonderful
What a legend
They could tell right then and there from that line alone, that Yzma was gonna be one of the best and funniest Disney Characters of all time.
Eartha truly never half assed anything. Rest in peace you legend.
She was a G.O.A.T
Miss Eartha even lost those headphones ❤ i love that passion
Her performance was so good that it genuinely takes me out of the movie. Every time she says a line I'm rewinding just so i can hear it again.
She's serving. What a queen
When I grow up, I want a voice and presence like Eartha Kitt!
Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
I’ve Got One
She was amazing and hilarious as Yzma. She will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Eartha Kitt.
I could watch her saying GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUARDS all day.
PULL THE LEVER, KRONK!!
WRONG LEVER!!

My all-time favorite villain rest in peace
She was the back bone of that entire movie. We will miss her. Now ... pull the lever Kronk...

The director told her to do a 10, she said "I can only do 11, so keep up."
She really was special! She voiced one of my all time favorite villains, Vexus in My Life as a Teenage Robot as well. She was really getting into it, that her headset leaped off. RIP
When a voice actor gives it their all like this you know you’ve got something good
Idk how she screamed like that, she was in her 70s at that time sheesh, RIP Eartha Kitt ❤️ 🕊
She was born for the role
THE HEADPHONES WAS SHOOK!
She is one of the reasons why the rewind button exists.
I have known her for less than a minute and I already like her.
Even for a silly cartoon, she gave it her all. What a legend. RIP.
My favorite Disney villain and favorite person ❤
Hail to the queen
RIP Eartha Kitt, we will miss you
RIP Eartha Kitt (January 17th, 1927 - December 25th, 2008) if it wasn’t for that colon cancer you’d still be alive

She went in and DID WHAT SHE DOES BEST
Did it so well that the people in the studio couldn't hold on to their excitement, just like her head phones couldn't hold on.
If she's making the crew laugh she was the right choice.
".......why do we even have that lever....."

Pull the lever Kronk! Wrong leveeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Literally the greatest legend
You can love everything else about the film, but Kitt's performance is the best part of it
GUAAAAAAAARDS!
I always just liked Yzma as a villain-not because she’s evil ofc but because of how comical and over-the-top she is hahahaha she always gives me a good laugh. It’s great to see the actress behind her character!
Her voice and Cree Summer's are my favorites. Just really unique sounding.
Eartha Kitt is one of my favorite actors ever, I especially liked her in the 1958 film "St Louis Blues"
She has so much charisma
That laughing took me out 🤣
She pulled that guards from her toes lol. May she Rest In Peace.
There is only one punishment. Death. GUAAAAAAARDS!!! Take him away!
You can tell she had fun
She seems like she would be an awesome person to work with
0:17 *GUAAAAAAAAARRDS!!!!!* 👿
TAKE HIM AWAY!!! 👿
She wast just voice acting, she was ACTING acting
even as a kid something told me i related to yzma way more than all the other characters. now i know why
She made the movie..period
The GUAAAAAAAARDS always sends me to space. XD
There's certain people who are just one of a kind treasures that this world is just lesser without, and she's one of them
“That’s fun”
This might be the only animated movie (Disney or Dreamworks) I’ve seen, where the villains are more loved than the heroes.
Literally no one else could've done a better job at voicing Yzma, It's like the character was made for Eartha's voice
More videos of her doing this please, she truly is beautiful ❤
A long time ago I had the full documentary uploaded to this channel, and then the Mouse blocked it. Honestly it’s a miracle this clip is still up and public.
YZMA! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIRRRRRR

I miss her.
