I find it phenomenal how the actors literally had to dress up and act in real time as well in order to get the movements right. It really shows how far animation has come.
They did that more likely because the animators were using the rotoscoping technique. That’s when you paint over filmed footage. They rotoscope the movements then put it over the painter background. I had to do a very rough version in one of my animation classes.
James Woods’ performance is especially great when you learn behind the scenes that they completely rewrote Hades’ whole personality around him. The original concept of Hades was for him to just be another dark, menacing overlord type of villain (similar to Chernabog or the Horned King). But after Woods decided to try some improv, giving Hades the vibe of a sleazy, silver-tongued salesman, the writers loved it so much that they kept it in.
It's amazing reading that with the benefit of the finished movie. Hades absolutely makes that film what it is, he absolutely steals the show. And that's hard with such an excellent cast! But it's his personality that sells it and I just can't imagine that character any other way, the whole movie would be so so different in tone.
I was actually shocked to find James woods was hades. I'm pretty versed in Disney but never gave a second thought to hades cause Hercules is low on my Disney list
I always thought it was weird that Disney cast him without thinking they'd get a car salesman lord of the dead, he always plays a fast talking character. Then I heard him in a DC animated film where he played a bad guy and he sounded so scary! Hades didn't scare me if he wasn't flaming, so I didn't know if he could do it but he was phenomenal. Terrifyingly emotionless, direct and cruel, he was amazing. That's what Disney wanted for Hades. We all agree what we got was better, but its still nice to see him voice act a different role.
They were also originally planning on having Jack Nicholson play hades but scheduling conflicts prevented it but it ended up giving us a much better villain
@DJ_Cub Fun fact: Initially, the producers wanted David Bowie for Scar, but he was on-tour at the time that the movie was being made, and they couldn't put it on-hold to wait for him. I think he would've definitely enjoyed the "You're so weird/You have no idea" exchange with little Simba. (3/5/2023)
I remember once hearing a voice actor at a convention saying that one could only truly be good at voicing a character if they knew how to act. Their reasoning was emotions and meaning need to be able to be conveyed despite only hearing a voice
I find it remarkable the Johnathon Freeman has been doing almost every Jafar. Even in the original Broadway cast he played Jafar in Aladdin, and in video games as well. Very few have done that role besides him
@Idiotsdoesthings Here's something cool. I've heard that, at first, they wanted Patrick Stewart for Jafar, but he had a scheduling conflict with shooting "Star Trek: Next Generation". I've got to admit that it IS fun to imagine that Shakespearean accent shout, "Get your blasted beak out of my face!" (3/5/2023)

I love how the timing is still so perfect on Jonathan Freeman and Ken Page's performances that the lip flaps still align despite not being the recorded version used in the film. Just freakin brilliant.
@@mikaladadams If they were to do an actual live adaptation of Tangled, should the get Wendi McLendon-Covey, Meryl Streep or Jennifer Tilly as Mother Gothel?
Also, thank you for showing the Kingdom Hearts scenes! You can tell how a lot of the Disney Renaissance VAs are still dedicated to their characters, that they would never refuse to play them.
I... don't think these actors would turn down an opportunity to reprise their roles. In the case of Kingdom Hearts, it was simply to align both an actor's schedule and budget. Kingdom Hearts managed to get around half of the original actors back, while they hired lesser-known actors to fill the blanks. For KH3 alone, they got most the cast from Frozen and Big Hero 6. If it wasn't from the movies, it was from the TV series. Dude, Kevin McNally reprised his role as Gibbs from the Pirates of the Caribeans movies in the 3rd game O_O You want a bigger mind-blowing fact? Kathryn Beaumont, the original actress for both Alice in Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Wendy Darling in Peter Pan (1953), reprised BOTH roles in the first Kingdom Hearts game in 2002, FIFTY years later.
@@MrJechgo I actually did know a lot of that, I just didn’t want to type a text wall. Lol! Yeah, really the only reason Nathan Lane has rarely reprised his role as Timon is exactly that. He’s usually been already booked with other projects, especially while The Lion Guard was airing.
@@KopaXTani and that's totally fine. As I said, I don't recall any Disney actor hating their roles, so the real reasons are all about "not being available" and "not interested by the paycheck" (It is their livelihood afterall). Otherwise, Square-Enix simply didn't have enough money to spend on actors. I mean, we could have gotten Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as Woody and Buzz for the Toy Story level, but... they probably would have slashed an entire Disney world (or two) in exchange ^^; We didn't get John Goodman and Billy Crystal as Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc, but at least the replacements were spot-on ;) Dude, for some reason, they didn't get Patton Oswalt to voice Remy from Ratatouille, leaving the rat with no lines...
Alan Tudyk also voiced the weasel in Zootopia (forgot his name). While not the main villain, the character pokes fun at Tudyk's Weaselton character in Frozen.
I think a lot of the problem with the live action films is that the villains are so iconic that they never get them right. I watched Aladdin the other day and as a film it's OK, but Jafar wasn't anywhere near as charismatic or brilliant as the animation and the exclusion of Gilbert as Iago was just criminal. Iago was relegated to a walk on bit character instead of the heart of the movie. His evolution from evil sidekick to trusted friend was better character development than most films manage for the leads.
Yeah. It's incredible how easily our minds accept animation; only when put side to side with actual people doing their lines did I notice how stylized and exaggerated the humans and their movements really are in these movies.
It's so awesome to see all of these amazing voice actors in action behind the scenes and at table readings! It sucks some of them passed away, but their legacy as Disney characters is one that will never go. Also, I love that first clip, and it actually shows Walt Disney himself voicing Mickey! :)
Jeremy isn't dead. He even offered to reprise the role for the (gag) live-action remake. They got James because they knew it wouldn't sell otherwise, but Jeremy is just as iconic as Scar.
2022 was quite the year to hit us in the feels. we lost her, then if you were an LA native, not long after her, we then lost a great of the sports world in Vin Skully.
Wow! I love this. Especially the classics. The Siamese twins, how they recorded twice was really cool. And obviously seeing wall Tower over this little man, and then their voices are opposite
Videos like this really shine the light on all the talented actors and actresses who bring our villains we love to hate to life. A lot of fun. Thank you very much.
I wish I could’ve saw David Ogden Stiers as Ratcliffe and Tony Jay as Frollo, along Eartha Kitt as Yzma, Suzanne Pleshette as Zira and George Sanders as Shere Khan, I would have loved to see how they performed the characters irl, great video though.
While it's great to see these recording of the actors portraying the voices of the villains, I bet a lot of people who happen across this video are shocked to see Walt Disney himself is doing the voice of Mickey in the video of him and Billy Bletcher recording lines for "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip" (1940)
I knew Walt originally voiced Mickey but it still shocked me when I saw him in the video, I’ve never seen video of him voicing Mickey before! So cool that video exists
Not to mention has a damn good singing voice, I wish he could’ve reprised his role in Lion Guard (not that I dislike David Qyelowo) and Kingdom Hearts.
It’s amazing how dedicated and different these actors were that they had so much fun while recording with a lack of technology and resources. It’s shows how far we’ve come but also how grateful we should be. We usually take things for granted.
I was surprised to find the original voice actor for Pete.. Also the best villain voice actors for me are: Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Jonathan Freeman as Jafar and Eleanor Audley as Evil Stepmother and even as Maleficent.. They knew how to interpret their characters well and give them their touch of villainous personality
At 3:58 it’s me!! I will never forget that afternoon. 🥰
Thanks for doing 4:45! It looks like an improvisation and she enjoyed it hahaha
Wait what?! That's so cool!
SO COOL!!!
Ultra cool
Damn you sound pretty good!
I find it phenomenal how the actors literally had to dress up and act in real time as well in order to get the movements right. It really shows how far animation has come.
They probably had a fun time. Go to work dress up as you character and speak your lines.
Gotta dress the part to get in the mood
Actually they had already recorded the lines and were lip-syncing. The dressing up was to inspire the animators and help them draw more realistic
They didn’t HAVE to… but a lot of early studios depended on rotoscoping for realistic movement. Might as well throw in a costume, too!
They did that more likely because the animators were using the rotoscoping technique. That’s when you paint over filmed footage. They rotoscope the movements then put it over the painter background. I had to do a very rough version in one of my animation classes.
I love how Dr. Doofenshmirtz is iconic enough to be considered a true Disney Villain.
Yes, yes he is.
He is bad guy, but doesn't mean he is a bad guy.

voice actors and actresses*
I remember once hearing a voice actor at a convention saying that one could only truly be good at voicing a character if they knew how to act. Their reasoning was emotions and meaning need to be able to be conveyed despite only hearing a voice
Bear in mind, much of the footage is meant to be reference material for the animators, they’re encouraged or even directed to move around
@@Menuki I know. Idina Menzel said that she even explained to the animators how she breathes when she sings so that they could animate it into Elsa.

Not going to lie… years later I was so embarrassed that I did that! 😅😂
Jodi Benson was also the voice of Vanessa!! OMG!
I was today years old when I learned that and I'm 21😱😱
It's one of those things where it makes perfect sense, but your brain doesn't process it until you're told.
@@Thomas_H._Smith knew it as a child
Could you do one next of the comedic sidekicks? Examples: Genie, Timon & Pumbaa, Mushu, Kronk etc.
Yessss😊
I wish footage existed for David Ogden Stiers as Wiggins, I would kill for that.
Wow! So amazing to see this old footage of the voice actors!
Jodi Benson behaving like Pat Carol's Ursula is just iconic. She can play the next Ursula.
I watch videos like this and I’m reminded that voice acting isn’t just recording lines for a character. It’s so much more!
Hans Conried was born to be Captain Hook, with or without animation, he IS him
Captain Hook was great, but my favorite character of his will forever be Snidely Whiplash. He did such awesome villain voices. =)
RIP Billy Bletcher (Pete)
RIP Eleanor Audley (Lady Tremaine/Maleficent)
RIP Hans Conreid(Captain Hook)
RIP Peggy Lee(Simese Twin Cats)
RIP Pat Caroll (Ursula)
RIP Gilbert Gottfried (Iago the Parrot 🦜🦜🦜)
4:36 RIP Pat Carroll 7:27 I always love seeing Key Page perform.
Oogie Boogie’s song is SO GODDAMN good and honestly a musical classic.
Including Ken Page was a perfect choice, I somehow have never seen the live footage! 💟💟💟💟😍
This guy whom voiced over iago is one great voice over.. great work...
Keith David is a freaking legend, his voice is iconic, like James Earl Jones, just absolutely iconic.
Of course Alan is the one with multiple characters. I love that man!
Oggie Boggie and Keith David's performance is God like
Can I say something crazy ... No
That part killed me 😂
Santino played the prince in the Broadway version of Cinderella, so this was a natural and appropriate fit for him. Also, he's a stud.
Great compilation. That Hollywood bowl show was awesome with Danny Elfman and the music from Burton films.
Keith David is really something else. He and Jeremy have my fav villain voices for sure
This deserves more views and likes! It’s awesome
I seriously love, Eleanor Audley's, Maleficent's voice! Elegantly delivered! Chef's kiss! 😘
RIP Gilbert. He was one of the most iconic voices in the history of all voices ever heard. I miss him!
god theirs something so cool seeing Walt just having the most childlike smile on his face while doing voiceovers with billy bletcher.
1:47 WOW, THAT IS SO COOL THEY DID A LIVE REFERENCE!!
You just don't get performances like Ken Page's Oogie Boogie anymore
Definitely worth 20mins of my life
I wish I could’ve saw David Ogden Stiers as Ratcliffe and Tony Jay as Frollo, along Eartha Kitt as Yzma, Suzanne Pleshette as Zira and George Sanders as Shere Khan, I would have loved to see how they performed the characters irl, great video though.
I know there is Eartha Kitt footage out there, but I don’t think it’s an actual line so it made sense why it’s not here
Wow the resemblance is beyond incredible.
While it's great to see these recording of the actors portraying the voices of the villains, I bet a lot of people who happen across this video are shocked to see Walt Disney himself is doing the voice of Mickey in the video of him and Billy Bletcher recording lines for "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip" (1940)
I knew Walt originally voiced Mickey but it still shocked me when I saw him in the video, I’ve never seen video of him voicing Mickey before! So cool that video exists
Wow, we've lost Ursulla and Iago since this came out, incredible :(
Jeremy Irons is such an underrated artist but a versatile one whom not everyone really appreciates him much. 😪
Not to mention has a damn good singing voice, I wish he could’ve reprised his role in Lion Guard (not that I dislike David Qyelowo) and Kingdom Hearts.
Oh my gosh, that Siamese cat song from Lady and the Tramp used to be one of my favorite songs when I was a kid.
Gaston's voice was on point
It’s amazing how dedicated and different these actors were that they had so much fun while recording with a lack of technology and resources. It’s shows how far we’ve come but also how grateful we should be. We usually take things for granted.
Seeing Ursula in real life was amazing! Such a great villain!
OMG Gilbert Gottfried(Iago's voice) just died this year. How sad. RIP 😱🤧🤧🥺
I love princess and the frog and love the villain of the movie. Keith David!
I didn’t realize that the crab guy was played by that guy from Flight of The Concords! That’s awesome!
I don't know what's wrong with me, but the older I get, the more I love the villans!
We all do.
This is so cool see the dress up as the characters
I was surprised to find the original voice actor for Pete.. Also the best villain voice actors for me are: Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Jonathan Freeman as Jafar and Eleanor Audley as Evil Stepmother and even as Maleficent.. They knew how to interpret their characters well and give them their touch of villainous personality
Old animation (2d) and voice overs just had it all ❤️
Big respects to all of them for the hard work!!
They’re all so good!
