Line 55:
** Compare Baloo from that film and Little John from ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'' and Thomas O'Malley in ''[[The Aristocats]]''. All are practically an [[Expy]] of the other and all were voiced by Phil Harris. Partly explained by the fact that the films were both made during [[The Dark Age of Animation]] and Disney was cutting corners all over the place.
*** There's also the 'Oh, that's just great' scowl of each... Especially the jaw movement.
*** Also from ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'', Sir Hiss is a snake-version of his voice actor Terry
** Hades, the [[Big Bad]] of the Disney version of ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'', is voiced by James Woods, and was drawn with similar facial features and even most of the body language Woods was using when he was recording his lines. James Woods enjoyed the role so much that he agreed to play Hades again whenever needed - even in cameo parts. Phil in the same movie had his facial expressions modeled after his voice actor, Danny DeVito.
** ''[[Oliver and Company]]'' featured [[Billy Joel]] as Dodger. Despite being a '''dog,''' Dodger still manages to bear some resemblance to Billy Joel.
Line 145:
* One look at the main character from ''[[Titan A.E.]]'' is enough to figure out who [[Matt Damon|voices him]].
* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]''. Which, to be sure, was kind of the point.
* In ''[[Harry Potter Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|Harry Potter Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', Sirius' dog form has something of [[Gary Oldman]] in its face when it's viewed from the front.
** That one could be justified in the fact that
* In a non-animated example, the ''[[The Gingerdead Man]]'' looks exactly like Gary Busey.
* Most of the human characters in ''[[Curious George]]'' look startlingly like their voice actors (Maggie ''is'' [[Drew Barrymore]], Mr. Bloomsberry ''is'' Dick Van Dyke, Junior ''is'' David Cross etc). Notable exception: Ted, who looks nothing like [[Will Ferrell]] and more like... well... The Man In The Yellow Hat.
Line 282:
** Let's not forget that David Xanatos was modeled after his voice master Jonathan Frakes.
** Hudson, for a gargoyle, loosely resembles his voice actor Ed Asner.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'':
*
** In addition, the manager of the Hawaiian hotel is modeled after Phill Lewis, who voices him. (Also an [[Actor Allusion]], since the character is basically [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Mr Moseby]].)
** The three members of the band Love Händel -- Bobbi, Swampy and Danny -- are named for and designed to resemble the show's producers, Bobby Gaylor, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and Dan Provenmire.
* [[Looney Tunes|Elmer Fudd]] briefly went through this in the early 1940s when the animators thought that maybe the girth of his voice actor, Arthur Q. Bryan, added to the humor of his [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome|speech impediment]].
* The 1959 short "The Mouse That Jack Built" had the cast of ''[[The Jack Benny Program]]'' playing animated mouse versions of themselves.
Line 309 ⟶ 311:
* [[Looney Tunes|Warners Bros. cartoons]] did this a lot, probably reaching its zenith in Tex Avery's 1941 short "Hollywood Steps Out."
* [[The Danza|Cree Lincoln]] from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' bears some resemblance to her voice actress and namesake [[Cree Summer]], even with a similar hairstyle.
** The same is true for some other characters voiced by Summer, including Foxy Love in ''[[Drawn Together]]'' and Miranda Killgallen from ''[[As Told by Ginger]]''. Susie Carmichael from ''[[Rugrats]]'' might even be construed as a child-version of Cree Summer.
* The Autobots' human forms in the ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' episode "Human Error" all resemble their voice actors [[David Kaye]] (Optimus Prime), Bumper Robinson (Bumblebee), Bill Fagerbakke (Bulkhead), [[Corey Burton]] (Ratchet), and [[Jeff Bennett]] (Prowl), respectively.
* From ''[[Rick and Morty]]'':
