7 animation an voiceoversvo you didn’t know stars had done
1Justin Timberlake in Yogi Bear
THE ex N-SYNC star had already conquered the music world and notched some impressive film credits (The Social Network, Alpha Dog), so his decision to voice Yogi’s buddy Boo Boo in this turgid 2010 romp is mystifying.
2Orson Welles in Transformers
ONE of the greatest actor/directors of all time’s final film role was as Unicron, the planet-eating robot bad guy in this 1986 animated feature based on the popular action figures of the day. Citizen Kane it ain’t.
3 George Clooney in South Park: The Movie
HE MAY have an Oscar on his mantelpiece, but George (playing the inept Dr Gouache) utters his greatest line here: “We accidentally replaced your heart with a baked potato... you have three seconds to live.”
4Vin Diesel in The Iron Giant
IN WHICh the beefy Fast And Furious star plays a friendly 50ft alien robot. Based on the Ted Hughes novel of the same name, this flopped upon release but has built up a sizeable cult following.
5Jerry Orbach in Beauty and The Beast
HE WAS a legend on Broadway and you will likely know him best as Jennifer Grey’s father in Dirty Dancing (“when I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong”), but here he plays sentient candlestick Lumiere.
6Matthew Broderick in The Lion King
BRODERICK voiced the grown up Simba in this Disney classic. When we meet him the lion is a lazy slacker who prefers goofing off with pals to facing responsibilty. Think of him as the animal kingdom’s Ferris Bueller.
7Miley Cyrus in Bolt
LONG before she made a living outraging public decency, Miley was that most wholesome of things... a Disney heroine. She is Penny, the owner of the titular dog, a TV star who believes he has superpowers.
