Line 78:
* ''[[Tangled]]'' has Flynn Rider voiced by major singing star (and actor) Chayanne, who actually has several things in common with the character, from his charm to an embarrassing real name (Elmer).
** It also has Rapunzel voiced by Dana Paola, another well-known Latin singer with a background in soap operas.
* Ricky Martin voiced [[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]] himself in the Latin American dub. Disney often tries to get well-known Latin American singers whenever it can, sometimes to dub, but mostly to sing the award-bait songs. Ricky Martin also sang the Spanish version of 'I Will Go the Distance', Chayanne had previously sung 'Where The Dream Takes You' for ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'', Ricardo Montaner sang 'A Whole New World' for ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' back in the day, and Luis Miguel did 'Someday' for ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. For ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'', Phil Collins sang all the songs in both English and Spanish ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULgFbLhO7j8 ...unfortunately]).
** Tatiana, a popular Mexican singer from [[The Eighties]] dubbed and sang all of Megara's lines (and even reprised her role live in a parade for children's day)
** Also, while not Disney, Mexican popstar Thalia dubbed [[Anastasia]] and sang all the songs.
Line 124:
* Eric Cartman's voice actor in the German dub of ''[[South Park]]'' also provides the voice for the Chupa-Chups mascot in the TV-ads. More funny is that its catchphrase calls "Leckt mich". The direct translation would be "lick me" but in daily speech it just means "screw you!", like in "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
* It's almost no coincidence that Lizemijn Libgott, Dutch voice actor, voices (nearly) all Disney roles of Ashley Tisdale, from [[Phineas and Ferb|Candace]] to [[High School Musical|Sharpay]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knXUH7hQAYc Swedish] [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Genie]] has the same VA as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDOP5Dsw45A Swedish] [[Hercules (1997 film)||Hades]].
** And the VA of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQqAIumGCe0&feature=related Swedish] [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] is the Swedish singer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hhq1FA8p0I Peter Jöback].
* Many of the Filipino voice actors for anime (as mentioned above) are also hired to voice western cartoons, which often invokes this trope for viewers of Filipino dubbed anime.
Line 136:
* Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons]]''. In Latin American dubbage of "Pygmoelian", the Dr. Tad Winslow actor shouts "I've been Dr. Tad Winslow and ''Ranma's voice'' during twenty years!"
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|In France:]]
** Besides his live dubbings, Richard Darbois, considered as "The Voice" by the profession, is [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Genie]], [[Toy Story (franchise)||Buzz Lightyear]], [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman]], [[Anastasia|Rasputin]], [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|Oogie Boogie]]... and so on.
** Even better, Roger Carel, the dean of the profession, is [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Jimini Cricket]], [[Dumbo|Timothy]], [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Cheshire Cat]], [[101 Dalmatians|Pongo]], [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Kaa]], [[Robin Hood|Sir Hiss]], [[Asterix]], [[The Rescuers|Bernard]], [[The Great Mouse Detective|Basil]], [[The Land Before Time|Petrie]], [[Hanna-Barbera|Wally Gator]], [[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels|Captain Caveman]], [[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats|Heathcliff]], [[Winnie the Pooh|Winnie and Rabbit (he was Piglet for a while)]], [[DuckTales (1987)|Flintheart]], [[Long List|etc, etc, etc,]] and, of course, [[Star Wars|C-3PO]]. And this is [[Staying Alive|not the end of it]].
** Let's not forget Jacques Balutin, better known for having played [[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky]]. He did [[The Sword in the Stone|Sir Kay]], [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Tweedle Dee]], [[The Lord of the Rings (animation)|Bilbo]], [[The Secret of NIMH|Jeremy]], [[The Rescuers|Orville]] and [[Toy Story (franchise)||Slinky Dog]].
** Compare [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCdyBIGkXfc Duncan] (0:26) from [[Total Drama]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQqfQ4IPko Ash] (1:24) from [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]. Both are voiced by Aurelien Ringelheim.
* Hilarious detail in the German dub of [[Gargoyles]]: The character Jeanine Renard (member of "The Pack") is dubbed by Franziska Pigulla. Pigulla also dubbed Gillian Anderson in [[The X-Files]]. (And Jeanine Renard's codename is [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lduemcGGSJ1qb0e90.jpg Fox].)
* Compare [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|German]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukv84Ke7I5c Spike] to [[The Fairly OddParents|German]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Zp5HmnskI Timmy Turner]. Both are voiced by a young man named Hannes Maurer.
* Lars Thiesgaard is not only an actor, but also the head of the largest dubbing-studio in Denmark, giving him parts in just about everything animated. You would have problems watching any cartoon-channel in danish for more than an hour without hearing his voice at least once. Of roles can be mentioned [[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexter]], [[Winnie the Pooh|Piglet]], [[DuckTales (1987)|Gizmo Duck, Gyro Gearlose, Duckworth and more on Ducktales]], [[Johnny Bravo]], [[Top Cat]], [[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky]] and hundreds of others, over the last 20 years. He also does commercials and audiobooks. If you have not heard his voice in Denmark, you may be deaf. Literally Denmark's [[Man of a Thousand Voices]].
* In the Afrikaans dubs of "The Three Musketeers" (the version where the characters are mostly dogs) and [[Lucky Luke]], the heroes (Brakanjan and Lucky Luke) have the same voice actor. What works as the voice of a lanky cowboy is slightly mismatched for a (very) short dog with a nose that lights up when he gets mad.
* In the Finnish dub of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]], Katara is [[Digimon Adventure 02|Palmon]], Sokka is Digimonkaiser and Zuko is Takeru. Oh, and Iroh is walking advert for DNA.
* In the Hungarian ''[[Star Wars]]'' dubs ([[Dueling Dubs|of which there were many]]), 1st ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' dub Emperor is Tarkin in all three ''[[A New Hope]]'' dubs, also prequel trilogy Yoda. 1st ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' dub Emperor is 3rd ''ROTJ'' dub Ackbar, and prequel Palpatine. Meanwhile, 1st ''ROTJ'' dub Ackbar is ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' Darth Sidius (yeah, they thought Sidius and Palpatine were two guys at first, hence the two different actors)!
* Both the Swedish and Finnish voice actors for [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Quasimodo]] voiced the titular [[Bear in the Big Blue House]]. The [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joakim_Jennefors former] was also [[Digimon Adventure|Gomamon and Angemon]] and sang the first [[Pokémon]] theme, while the [http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velimatti_Ranta latter] was [[Pokémon (anime)|James]] and [[Prince of Egypt|Moses]].
* [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Hedenberg Johan Hedenberg] is a Swedish VA with a ''very'' distinctive voice and an extensive resume, including [[Life With Louie|Andy Anderson]], [[Super Mario Brothers Super Show|Luigi]], [[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines|Dick Dastardly]], Dr. Robotnik in [[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Sonic Sat AM]], [[Mighty Morphing Power Rangers|Bulk]], [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|NormanOsborn/Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Curt Conners/Lizard, Kraven and Rhino]], [[Hercules (1997 film)||Nessos and the Narrator]], [[Harry Potter (film)|Lord Voldemort]], [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|Shredder]], [[Kim Possible|Drakken]], [[Resistance|Nathan Hale]], [[Cars|Leland Turbo]], [[Tintin (film)|Captain Haddock]] and [[Star Wars the Phantom Menace|Palpatine/DarthSidious]].
