It will soon be 90 years since the Disney empire brought its magical world to young and old on the big screen with the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. Dubbed to give life to the many characters, human or animal, that inhabit these worlds.
Some actors in France have made it their specialty, playing several characters in different films.
In the 1990s, the legendary Richard Darboys, already known as the voice of Harrison Ford, Richard Gere and even Jeff Goldblum, was heard in some of Disney’s biggest hits, including Aladdin, in which he played the Toy Story genie. To embody Buzz Lightyear and his famous “Infinity and Beyond”, or even Mulan through the Shan Yu character.
A few years earlier, another legendary voice, the voice of Roger Carell, who unfortunately left us in 2020, also performed the golden hours of the classic French versions of Disney.
Indeed, we could hear him for the Jiminy Cricket character in Pinocchio, but also in The Jungle Book, where he brought his voice to life by “whistling” the hypnotic words of the snake Kaa. We can add many other animals to this list, such as Pongo the dog from 101 Dalmatians, the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland and the triple play of the actor who simultaneously played Piglet, Koko the Lappin and Winnie the Pooh in The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The famous little bear cub.
We could talk about Perret Pradier, Jacques Franz or even Claude Chantal, but it’s time to play! Can you match the correct actors to these eight Disney characters?
