I Absolutely Love the Brilliant Voice Acting Performances of Marvin Miller as the Narrator, Bill Shirley as Prince Phillip, Mary Costa as Princess Aurora, Verna Felton as Flora, Barbara Luddy as Merryweather, Barbara Jo Allen as Fauna and Eleanor Audley as Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Barrie Ingham as Detective Basil, Val Bettin as Dr. David Q. Dawson, Alan Young as Hiram Flaversham, Susanna Pollatschek as Olivia Flaversham, Vincent Price as Professor Padraic Ratigan and Candy Candido as Fidget from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective and Adriana Caselotti as Snow White and Lucille La Verne as Queen Grimhilde from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Those on my list that were left out -
Ed Brophy as Timothy Mouse in Dumbo - the ideal friend, and basically speaking for himself AND Dumbo; Hans Conried as Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in Peter Pan - master of cartoon villainy; Barbara Luddy as Lady in Lady & the Tramp - people don't appreciate how hard innocence is to act;
And James Baskett as Br'er Fox in Song of the South - problematic it might be, but he truly OWNS the character and pours so much energy into it that you feel winded just watching, but he's still menacing where he needs to be. In fact I'd say he had a LOT more fun playing Br'er Fox than he did playing Uncle Remus.

Great list.
Though for Eva Gabor's spot, there should have been a reference or shout out to Miss Bianca as well, since that was another role Eva had.
I'm a bit shocked there was no mention of Bob Newhart, Joe Flynn, Jim Jordan, or Michelle Stacy, since Penny does have a few things in common with Cinderella.
Fun Fact: Verna Felton, who was the fairy Godmother was also Wilma's mother on the Flintstones, so if you listen to the voice you can identify it.

Disneys Adriana Caselotti and Dickie Jones vs Non-Disneys Irene Cara and Seth Green
If you remember Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio in The Golden Age of Disney, its not often it screams sequel but another animated studio did. Only thing is its very different from the Disney original. No one would recall Snow White and Pinocchio wear blue and face different villains

My younger sister and I watched a video a few months ago of all of the Disney voice actors. It was so as you say surreal seeing Walt Disney himself with his iconic Mickey Mouse voice. It was so weird that it was him. It made us also start to tear up because there was the man who started everything. There he was recording the voice of his iconic and amazing character

I love Eleanor Audley as Maleficent and Lucille La Verne as The Evil Queen. Hero wise, my favorites are Mary Costa as Aurora and Adriana Caselotti as Snow White. Male wise I love Vincent Price as Ratigan and John Hurt as the Horned King. Hero wise I love Phil Harris as Baloo and Cliff Edwards as Jiminy Cricket.

I cant even pick my favorite out of all of these! Theyre all so iconic and they all shaped my childhood and I love all of them (even the evil ones ) I love that Adrianna Casoletti was on the list. Ive always loved her unique and girlish voice. Her singing voice is also so incredibly beautiful

#1 is easily the best of the best. Without Halloway, Winnie the Pooh would not be the voice of all childhoods for many people who grew up on Disney.
On a side note, I personally liked the performances of Sebastian Cabot as Sir Ector from The Sword in the Stone and as Bagheera in The Jungle Book.

Excellent list! When Vincent Price says a line like Oh, I LOVE IT when I'm nasty! so much twisted glee, not only do you know you've got the perfect guy for the part and he's having a total blast! He and John Hurt set the villain voice acting standard to stratospheric heights!

These voice actors played a huge part in Disney's long history in creating classic cinematic animated masterpieces! For if it wasn't for the amazing skill of the voice actors, The Disney characters that we all know and love would never have been given so much life!

How about Paul Winchell he does the voice of Winnie the Pooh's sidekick Trigger and The Shun Gon on Aristocats Winchell voice is everywhere in the 70s in cartoons and he also best known as the voice of Hanna Barbera character Dick Dastardly.

Am I the only one who thinks Vincent Price has always been a Ham? Granted, other than this movie, Rankin & Bass Peter Cottontail and the 13 Ghost of Scooby Doo, plus one 70s horror movie that forgot the name of, I've never seen/heard him act.

Tony Jay narrowly ekes out my number one as far as acting. Robin Williams was awesome, but he played one note: frantic comedy with heart. Frollo was a dry, ugly wit, but damn if he didn't have some grisly range. It's definitely 51/49 though.

I feel very disappointed that a couple of the best voice actors were at #9 and #10. Walt Disney should have been #1. Without him we wouldn't have these classic movies! Vincent Price should be higher at least top 5 and no Jim Cummings!

A few egregious omissions:
Edward Brophy as Timothy Mouse
Eric Blore as J. Thaddeus Toad
J. Pat O'Malley as pretty much anything he did
Hans Conried as Captain Hook
Rod Taylor as Pongo
Peggy Lee in Lady and the Tramp

Sterling Holloways VA skills was described as magical and I can see why because he has voiced many characters in his time at Disney, from Mr. Stork to Pooh Bear. Hes one my favorite VAs to voice classic characters.

At first, Disney and his team considered casting someone else as the Crone in Snow White, but Lucille Laverne convinced them to give her a chance. All she had to do to nail the Crone voice was take out her dentures.

If you're going to include Walt as Mickey Mouse, you have to include Clarence Nash as Donald Duck, Pinto Colvig as Goofy (as well as several of the dwarfs in Snow White) and Billy Bletcher as Peg-Leg Pete.

Much as everyone loves Pooh, I like Sterling Holloway best as characters like Kaa or the Cheshire Cat, when he gets more eerie and otherworldly, because that's when you can tell he was REALLY having fun.

Sterling Holloway was perfect in all the roles he played, Jerry Colonna was amazing as the March hare, Basil Rathbone as Bagheera, and I forget who played Shere Khan, but he was amazing as well.

Sterling Holloway is my favorite voice actor of all time. Jim Cummings is a good successor, but personally, Sterling will always be one of the best original Disney voices.

Eleanor Audley deserves credit for not only Maleficent, but also for Lady Tremaine in Cinderella and Madame Leota on The Haunted Mansion ride at the US Disney parks.

They got the number 1 pick right, but Vincent Price as Ratigan is one of Disney's best voice acting performances ever. Seeing him at anything below 2 is a travesty

Walt Disney as Mickey Mouse supposed to be number 1 not 10 and it's the mouse is the most iconic than Winnie the Pooh and he own the Disney studio before he died.

While I agree with your list, I would have made Walt Disney the top pick. After all, it was all started by a mouse and the man who created him.

Long before voicing Baloo, Phil Harris was one of many performers trading banter with the penny pinching Jack Benny on the Lucky Strike Comedy Show.
