Who is your
favourite voice actor from any Pixar film, and why?
[b]Tim Allen, Because as John Lasseter said ?He is Buzz
Lightyear?[/b]
This is my 100 post 
If I remember correctly, weren’t they considering Billy Crystal for the voice of Buzz Lightyear originally?
That would’ve been strange- I can’t imahine it at all…
But I agree, Tim Allen really is Buzz!
[b]Your right they were trying to get Billy
Crystal to do Buzz’s voice. If Tim did not do the voice of
Buzz Lightyear I would be saying Tom Hanks is the best but thankfully
Tim Allen did do the voice of Buzz’s.[/b]
Dave Foley - I just love his voice for some reason.
John Ratzenburger - Ratz and burger? It’s like
the plot of Ratatouille is…encrypted into his name or something! (laughs) Yeah, I
like his voice, as well. I first saw him on an old Bill Nye the Science Guy video I
have.
Ellen DeGeneres - She was just perfect as Dory, no question about it.
Albert Brooks -
Another good actor; dead-on as Marlin.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen - I put them together because they’re
such a fantastic duo in the Toy Story films. 
Andrew Stanton - Because of
him, I now talk like Crush constantly. 
And Billy Crystal was going to do Buzz? I’m so glad they
had him do Mike instead…
I think I’ll go with Stanton
too: he DID do Zurg too, ya know!
But besides him, I love the voice of Bud Luckey (Agent Rick Dicker, the
Jackalope AND the Sheep!)
And of course, the voice of Tippy from One Man Band
I like Sarah Vowell and Holly
Hunter. They did their roles in the Incredibles so well. Their mother/daugther collection touched my heart.
Agree wit what everybody’s said earlier so I
won’t repeat it. But to comment on Tippy, I never really noticed anyone actually spoke in "One Man
Band" 
That’s what’s funny with my comment: And that’s why I
did a triple . . .
Technically, she had
a voice. When she was sniveling after her coin got lost.
She makes one little, tiny
crying sound. Didn’t you notice? Geez!
This is a really tough decision… I’ll probably have to
break it down film by film like Mitch (welcome aboard, by the way ) did.
Toy Story - Wally Shawn as
Rex
A Bug’s Life - Joe Ranft as Heimlich
Toy Story 2 - not counting those from TS1, Wayne Knight as
Al
Monsters, Inc. - Billy Crystal as “Mike Wazowski!”
Finding Nemo - Ellen DeGeneres as
Dory
The Incredibles - Jason Lee as Syndrome
Cars - Tony Shalhoub as Luigi
All Ratzenbergers are
omitted in order to give the other voice actors their chance to shine.
Phoenician - Oh yeah, I forgot that he did Zurg! Heheh…
(Big laughs on your Tippy comment… )
The Star Swordsman - I agree. Holly
Hunter was the perfect Elastigirl, and Sarah Vowell “made” Violet.
DElf4242 - Why, thank you! I’m really enjoying it here, too! Wow. You
listed all of the other great actors that I forgot to mention in my post. Oh well. At least now I don’t have to
write them all down! I’m surprised that you didn’t put Guido on your list, since you have him as your avatar.
I love Guido to death,
but “Pit Stop” (however well-delivered) and a bunch of Italian isn’t enough to have me consider Mr.
Quaroni my favorite voice actor in the film.
8D How
did any of us not catch that before? Yeah, John is always a blast in Pixar
films.
My top favorite voice actors are all from The Incredibles:
[b]Spencer Fox
-[/b] He was able to pull off Dash’s cockiness and enthusiasm perfectly with that cuuute voice of
his.
Sarah Vowell - No one else could’ve been Violet. It was meant to be.
My dad and I were lucky enough to meet her this February in Washington, D.C. I appreciate that she took the time
after her presentation to chat with us and sign a few things, because she had a rough night and wasn’t feeling
good. Sarah is a very good-natured person.
Michael Bird - Mmm, Tony
Rydinger…Oh sorry. That was the fangirl side of me. I also thought he was good in The Iron Giant. And during
pre-production, they had Michael voice Hogarth. He was almost him in the final cut, but they ended up giving
that role to Eli. However, you can hear Michael in the deleted scenes on the DVD.
Nicholas Bird - Nick voices Rusty in The Incredibles, but I really loved
him as Squirt in Finding Nemo. It can’t get any more adorable than Squirt.
I love how Brad likes to give
opportunities like that to his family. I’d do the same for my family if I
could.
Brad Bird - He’s E. That’s all the further explanation you need.
Jason Lee - He is so comical and intriguing. Plus, his voice is sex-xay.
Heehee.

PixarVixen -
Hehe! I know, it’s funny. I
always thought that Mr. Ratzenburger had a very obscure name, but now it seems to fit in with the Pixar
tradition!
Wow – very “standardized” list you’ve got there. And you got to meet Sarah
Vowell? I feel so jealous now.
It was a fun night. Dash has seen her,
too.
Sarah’s always touring the country. Here is the link to the page with the dates and locations of
all her future
appearances:

[co
lor=indigo]Sarah is coming to West Virginia in April next year, and it’s sooo close to where I live.
I’m determined to see her again.

Oh man, I wish she came to San Diego.
Of course, E! Yes, Brad Bird as E was just
scarily perfect.
