I agree. These “lists” that you call them ( at the most blogs) keep on getting shorter and shorter as if they are trying to fill some type of quota. They need to fine BETTER WRITERS to accomplish more indepth writing. There are SEVERAL more characters that could be added with out doing any research such as Dori, Wall-E, Buzz-Lightyear even. (despite tim allens lack of “range” his voice made the chracter).

I liked Kelly Macdonald when she played Merida in Brave… I don’t know I just love her… also when Ellen DeGeneres played Dory.

Your list does not contain Ellen Degeneres’ performance in Finding Nemo = Your list is invalid.

It’s a good list, but I have to agree with adding Ellen DeGeneres to the top. Out of all the Pixar characters, she may have had the most complicated. She needed to play a combination of smart and borderline dumb, confused and innocent, fun-loving and caring. Again, agreed that her scene with Marlin where she was explaining why she didn’t want her to leave him is phenomenal. She hit all the right notes in every scene, I can’t imagine any other actor playing Dory.

And Ratzenberger definitely needs a honorable mention!

All those are memorable. I specially agree with your choices on Elastigirl and Mr Incredible. I also loved that movie. I saw that they make the characters look a little like the real-life actors who provide the voices. This helps the voice match the character somehow.
I need to mention that I’m a Spanish speaker and the voice acting for the dubbed version is just as great-sounding. Just further proves your point that they do take their time to select the voice talent for their movies.

What kind of list is this? Ellen was amazing in Nemo. Ben Burtt rocked Wall-E. Billy Crystal did not even turn out the best performance in Monsters Inc.

Ellen DeGeneres nailed. there was that moment where she struggles so hard to remember, it gives me goosebumps. For anyone that has had a loved one suffer from dementia or memory loss, she evoked the frustration with the perfect amount of restraint.

Ben Burtt. All the actors had the benefit of an amazing script, but Ben…do you think that those sounds were written into the script? He evoked emotion without saying a word. An incredible vocal performance in any voice-over role.

Can’t really complain about the rest of the list

No love for Patton Oswalt’s Remy the Rat?

That is my absolute favorite by far. So great was his voice acting, the animators actually infused a lot of Patton’s mannerisms into Remy himself, to properly convey his amazing performance.
