The Lion King

Help me, I’m hearing Disney voices

I’m working on a trivia round all about Disneyland for an upcoming quiz, so my Mickey Mouse ears are fully on. And though the world of Disney is a wealth of trivia goodness, all I can hear right now are Disney voices.

As Hermione Granger would say, “Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices is never a good sign.”

Come to think of it, maybe those ears are the equivalent of a tin foil hat. You know what’s not crazy? Playing a mini quiz about Disney voices!

Questions:

Phil Harris voiced Baloo in the original 1967 “Jungle Book.” He also played Thomas O’Malley in “The Aristocats” and Little John in “Robin Hood.”
  1. What actor does quadruple duty in Disney animated features as Pacha in “The Emperor’s New Groove,” Big Daddy in “the Princess and the Frog,” Baloo in “Jungle Book 2” and James P. Sullivan in the “Monsters, Inc.” franchise?

  5. One of the crooks that Officer Judy Hopps collars in “Zootopia” is Duke Weaselton, whose name is a reference to the “Frozen” character the Duke of Weselton because they were both played by what prolific voice actor?
