Can you name the animated movie by its celebrity voice cast?
A Beatle and a Brady, together at last.
These days, a studio will not release an animated kids movie without an all-star cast. As if toddlers are impressed that Ozzy Osbourne is the voice of a lawn ornament. (Sorry, that's a Sherlock Gnomes reference. We realize you probably did not see that.)
Back in the day, this was not the practice in Hollywood. Those times Disney classics from the 1950s? Professional voice actors worked on them, for the most part. It wasn't until the 1970s that famous faces began to land gigs in cartoons for marketing purposes.
Because these actors were unseen, it might surprise you to learn they worked together. There are some truly unlikely casts below.
