Honestly, I didn't realize Jay Baruchel as Hiccup Haddock III from How to Train From Dragon was that low-hanging. I thought he was amazing as the character. Heck, he and America Ferrera (Astrid's V. O. performer) stated they felt like therapy sessions whenever they'd complete the projects as their characters. They loved these stories and characters THAT much and stuck with them until the trilogy's run and conclusion.
And yes, Ty Burrell as Mr. Peabody was possibly a phenomenal casting choice. When they did the movie right, they would do it right. And you're talking to a millennial that's highly knowledgeable on the classics like the Looney Tunes, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Tom & Jerry, Peabody's Improbable History, Dudley Do-Right, wartime and censored shorts, 80s and 90s, and much, MUCH more.
Dreamworks has cemented themselves in entertainment history, but they're probably one of the biggest names in having underappreciated gems.

So many great performances--even the ones on Honorable Mention that SHOULD have been on the list. My favorites from the video are:
Kate Winslet, Flushed Away
Woody Allen, Antz
Ian McShane, Kung Fu Panda (the intensity of his anger is incredible)
Ty Burrell, Mr. Peabody & Sherman (a wonderful performance in an underrated film)

I produced a lot of animation (but not for DreamWorks) The best voice over sessions I had were when Tim Curry or Charlie Adler were on board. Those two gentlemen can do anything. And if you got them together - watch out! My sides would ache for days from all the laughing.

Larry King was brilliant as Doris the ugly stepsister. As was Kane Winslet as Rita. The entirety of The Bad Guys has to get some recognition. Sam Rockwell as Wolf was a brilliant choice for the character.

Kiefer Sutherland in Monsters Vs Aliens really had a terrific performance as General W. R. Monger the soldier in charge of the monsters. Not only did he sound just like a soldier but he was really funny too!

I feel like more people nowadays know who Huccup is, than who Jay Baruchel is. He deserves so much more credit for giving Hiccup the cadence and deadpan delivery that makes his voice so iconic.

Fun fact, in the UK version of Shrek 2, Doris the Ugly Stepsister is voiced by the hilarious Jonathan Ross. Again, this is another performance in a Dreamworls animation that deserves recognition

The whole main cast in The Bad Guys! Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Anthony Ramos, Craig Robinson, Awkwafina, Zazie Beetz, Alex Borstein, Richard Ayoade, Lily Singh. Quite the star studded ensemble

My favorite actor is Richard Horvitz, best known for voicing Invader Zim, Kaos in Skylanders, and currently as Moxxie in Helluva Boss. He actually voiced a guard in the first Shrek movie.

You honestly can say the entirety of the Flushed Away villains are under appreciated because you have Sir Ian McKellen, Jean Reno, Andy Serkis and Bill Nighy!

As a child, I never realised that Kate Winslet voiced Rita. It's a shame that she never made many animated films, aside from a cartoon of Christmas Carol.

I agree, Larry King didn't receive enough praise for his work as Doris, all of her lines were hilarious in King's deep voice. Rest in peace, Larry King.

Abominable and Turbo are the most underrated movies in the DreamWorks library. But as for Hiccup, come on? He cant be that underrated.

Fun fact: Rosie Perez was also the voice of Click in Go Diego Go. Also Lana Condor's performance was very good as Ruby Gillman.
