5 or 6 posts and no Jeremy Irons as Scar yet?

I am disappoint.

Good call. Honestly, I think pretty much all of the voice work in The Lion King was great. Whoopi Goldberg would be the one I may not include in that list. Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella were great together and Robert Guillaume was great as Rafiki. Even Cheech Marin played his hyena part well.

And holy cow, I had no idea this guy was Zazu:

To this day, it blows my mind that King candy is him. He uses that voice on Robot CHicken a good bit too. I just don't see it. All I see is him in A Knight's Tale.


ETA; Also, a bunch in the Kung Fu Panda movies. Jack Black is good, Dustin Hoffman is fantastic, as was Ian McShane

Scarlett Johansson did a great job in "Her" if we're going to count voice roles in live action movies.

Tudyk is definitely undersung as King Candy.

Guy was great and damn creepy at the end.

If you didn't know it was Tudyk, you'd never guess.

I don't know who provided the voice for the giant turtle in the Neverending Story, but that person did a great job. That voice creeped me out when I was little.

Most evil Disney villain by a mile.


Worse than Maleficent, who cursed a girl to die just because she wasn't invited to her Baptism? Worse than Frollo, a genocidal maniac who psychologically tortures a child of a woman he killed and burns down an entire city in the name of lust? Scar, while a good villain is really more middle of the road as far as evil is concerned, and if he were the eldest, I don't think he would be a monster. Many other villains would still be monsters regardless of their circumstances. Frollo I think from just about any upbringing would be a shithead.

Disagree.

He killed his brother in cold blood and banished his very young nephew from his home, making him homeless, all the while enslaving the rest of his family.

Also his mannerisms and the way he talks and speaks make him creepy as hell.

Killing your own brother in cold blood is about as bad as it gets.

Also his reveal that he did this to his nephew, while also trying to kill him as well, is also horrible.
