** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' has Ken Watanabe [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQCC4UsOC2rM69Xrpu3JAzCmdPgsHFy70-Kow&usqp=CAU as Drift]] (who pushes the CastingGag even further by being a samurai robot) and Creator/JohnGoodman [[http://m.cdn.blog.hu/he/helsing/image/transformers_4_hound_goodman.jpg as Hound]].
* ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'' has a dragon voiced by Creator/SeanConnery who uses his expressions and mannerisms in an uncanny way.
* Creator/DreamWorksAnimation:
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': The animators drew Yocheved (all of whose lines are delivered in song) to look just like her voice actress, Creator/OfraHaza.
*** Tzipporah's design was also influenced by her voice actress, Creator/MichellePfeiffer.

** ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' includes Creator/JerrySeinfeld and Larry King as bees (the latter of which is even called "Bee Larry King"), and Vanessa is clearly a brunette Renée Zellweger.
** President Hathaway in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' is a highly caricatured version of Creator/StephenColbert.
** In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', Creator/GerardButler said "half his career led him to play Stoick" and he could see a lot of himself in [[http://www.watcherswatch.com/pics/gerard_butler_stoick.jpg him]] (particularly the animation), and Jay Baruchel commented on how Hiccup's scrawny frame [[http://www.modny73.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jay-Baruchel-voices-Hiccup1 made the character closer to himself]].
** Po Ping from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' is basically Jack Black in panda form.
** Played with in ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar''. Despite being a purple octopus with red eyes and a mouthful of crooked teeth, Dave displays some ''very'' Creator/JohnMalkovich-like facial expressions.
* Creator/RobertZemeckis' MotionCapture films:
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'', starring Creator/TomHanks, has every single character's face altered to look like Tom Hanks, resulting in a [[UncannyValley very freaky looking]] main character.
** Everyone in the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}''. Creator/RayWinstone noted that he loved watching the film because it cut twenty years off him and sent him to the gym, while still being recognizably him.
*** Angelina Jolie's character, in particular, though with some, er, enhancements to her shape.
** In ''WesternAnimation/AChristmasCarol2009'', Scrooge is made to resemble his voice actor Creator/JimCarrey... that is, if Carrey were an old, miserly British man. Even more obvious when the Ghost of Christmas Past has Jim Carrey's ''face''.
* Averted mostly in his early films, but Creator/DonBluth eventually hopped on this bandwagon when UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation was gaining speed. The most notable examples occur in ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'', with Mrs. Toad being mostly modeled after her voice actress, the Spanish actress/guitarist Charo (and jarringly so), and in ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', where the titular character has a passing resemblance to Creator/MegRyan.
* Done intentionally in ''Westernanimation/RoverDangerfield''; Rover is Rodney Dangerfield as a talking dog, no doubt about it.
* Creator/RankinBassProductions:
** Terry-Thomas voices one of the tailors in ''The Daydreamer''. The character is ''far'' stouter than the fairly skinny Thomas, but shares his famed gap-toothed grin. (As does his character Sir Hiss in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'', with his forked snake tongue often wiggling through the gap.)
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn'', the Lady Amalthea has a slight resemblance to her voice actress, Mia Farrow. They share the same sad eyes and head shape.
* There is no denying that Davey in ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'' is basically just an animated version of Creator/AdamSandler.
* Another Sandler-related example is Dracula from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', who is little more than a caricatured version of Sandler but with a funny accent.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiesInDisguise'', Lance Sterling's design is based on his voice actor, Creator/WillSmith. Same goes for Walter being a near carbon copy of Creator/TomHolland.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndSteveTheHappiestGayCoupleInAllTheWorld'', Condi Ling is basically Creator/MargaretCho.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', the two forest rangers clearly resemble David Spade and the aforementioned Creator/WhoopiGoldberg.
* ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. Which, to be sure, was kind of the point.
* In a non-animated example, the ''Film/TheGingerdeadMan'' looks exactly like Gary Busey.
* Most of the human characters in ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' look startlingly like their voice actors (Maggie ''is'' Creator/DrewBarrymore, Mr. Bloomsberry ''is'' Dick Van Dyke, Junior ''is'' Creator/DavidCross etc). Notable exception: Ted, who looks nothing like Creator/WillFerrell and more like... well... The Man In The Yellow Hat.
* Curious example in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': though Andy Serkis played Gollum even on the set, the CGI design wasn't originally based on him, until in 2001 he was cast to play Sméagol (Gollum's previous self) for a flashback scene in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'', and they redesigned it so they could show the transformation. They weren't in time to change the design for ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' though, but he hardly shows up in four scenes, all of which are in the dark, so it's no big deal.
* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Epic}}'' Queen Tara looks an awful lot like Beyonce.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'':
** President Business is a Lego minifig designed to look as much like Creator/WillFerrell as a minifig can. [[spoiler:That's because in-universe, he's based on Finn's dad, the Man Upstairs, who's ''physically'' played by Ferrell]].
** Chris Pratt has said in an interview Emmet, despite having the most generic and simplistic face a Lego minifig can have, has some subtle facial features that resemble his own, such as the proportions of the mouth and eyebrows.
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' is about a man named Victor Van Dort accidentally marrying a dead woman... but with the character's strong resemblance to his voice actor, it might as well be about Creator/JohnnyDepp marrying a dead woman instead. Also, resemblance to Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter can be seen in both Emily, who Bonham Carter voices, ''and'' Victoria, who is voiced by Creator/EmilyWatson. This is because [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Victoria was originally going to be voiced by Bonham Carter]], and as such was designed to look like her. When Bonham Carter asked to voice Emily instead, Emily was redesigned to look like her as well.
* Julie in ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal2000'', modeled after and voiced by actress Creator/JulieStrain. The same actress is in the same Ink Suit in the game adaptation, [=F.A.K.K.2=].
* Neil [=DeBuck=] Weasel from ''WesternAnimation/IceAge5CollisionCourse'' is a weasel version of UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson no less.
** And there's a mammoth who is [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Ray Romano]] in pachyderm form.
* The title character of ''Film/TheIncredibleMrLimpet'' looks so much like Don Knotts (who voices him and portrays his human version) that it's almost disquieting.
* Songbird Serenade in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' is basically {{Music/Sia}} [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/2d/Songbird_Serenade_ID.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160723024154 as a pony.]]
** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]] in her human form bears a strong resemblance to her voice actress, Rebecca Shoichet.
* In ''Film/{{Elf}}'', Leon the Snowman is literally his voice actor Leon Redbone in the form of a snowman, complete with "[his] walking stick".
* The characters in ''WesternAnimation/LovingVincent'' resemble Van Gogh's portraits (which, of course, portrayed real people), but also strongly resemble their actors. Marguerite Gachet in particular more closely resembles Saoirse Ronan than her real-life counterpart.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanReturnOfTheCapedCrusaders'', as befitting it being an animated movie set in the universe of the 1960s ''Series/Batman1966'' series, sees Batman, Robin, and Catwoman resemble Creator/AdamWest, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar back during the days of the series. Likewise, its sequel ''WesternAnimation/BatmanVsTwoFace'' sees Harvey Dent both before becoming Two-Face and his unscarred side afterward resemble his voice actor, Creator/WilliamShatner, circa ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''.
* After the tragic death of Creator/JudithBarsi, her character Anne-Marie in ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' was partially redesigned to resemble her a bit more.
* Inverted in the live-action Disney film ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', in which many of the actors were cast partly for their resemblance to the animated character designs in the original ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''.
* Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' with its versions of Peter B. Parker, the Peter Parker from ComicBook/MilesMorales's universe, and ComicBook/SpiderGwen. While they're not complete likenesses for Creator/JakeJohnson, Creator/ChrisPine, or Creator/HaileeSteinfeld, they do resemble their respective voice actors more than typical depictions of Peter or Gwen. Likewise, while not a complete likewise, the Prowler's unmasked face features some of Creator/MahershalaAli's features and ComicBook/MilesMorales resembles a younger version of his voice actor, Shameik Moore. Also, given Doctor Octopus received a GenderFlip specifically to bring in Creator/KathrynHahn, Olivia Octavius ends up resembling her.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[Characters/ThePolarExpress The Conductor]] and Creator/TomHanks are very alike, except that the animated Tom Hanks has a mustache, while the real-life Tom Hanks does not.]]

* An odd subversion in ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin''. Gray was voiced by Creator/AlecBaldwin, but looked ''exactly'' like Creator/BenAffleck. Reviewers did not fail to notice this. [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TPSVVc7x8-0/TyfeJYyADWI/AAAAAAADMdE/z-cHuL09J9E/s200/2001%2BMing%2BNa%2BWen%252CPeri%2BGilpin%2Bpremiere%2BFinal%2BFantasy%2B02.jpg Peri Gilpin]] does have some resemblance to [[http://cinema.com/image_lib/4267_ff008_thumb.jpg Jane]], while [[http://content.internetvideoarchive.com/content/photos/528/275993_007.jpg Donald Sutherland]] could play a live-action [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dr._Sid Dr. Sid]] if he shaved his head.
* ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' has Sentinel Prime who looks almost exactly like Creator/LeonardNimoy (though the artists stated that his appearance is also inspired by Creator/SeanConnery in the '70s).
** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' has Ken Watanabe [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQCC4UsOC2rM69Xrpu3JAzCmdPgsHFy70-Kow&usqp=CAU as Drift]] (who pushes the CastingGag even further by being a samurai robot) and Creator/JohnGoodman [[http://m.cdn.blog.hu/he/helsing/image/transformers_4_hound_goodman.jpg as Hound]].
* ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'' has a dragon voiced by Creator/SeanConnery who uses his expressions and mannerisms in an uncanny way.
* Creator/DreamWorksAnimation:
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': The animators drew Yocheved (all of whose lines are delivered in song) to look just like her voice actress, Creator/OfraHaza.
*** Tzipporah's design was also influenced by her voice actress, Creator/MichellePfeiffer.
** From their traditional phase, ''WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas'' [[http://www.gorgeouspfeiffer.com/images/gallery/movie/03_sinbad/sinbad_ad1.jpg doesn't try to hide]] Creator/BradPitt, Creator/CatherineZetaJones and Creator/MichellePfeiffer in the main roles.
** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', Cameron Diaz (above) said that watching Fiona felt like looking at her brunette (uh, redhead?) sister. Also, Shrek seems to be designed after Chris Farley, who was supposed to voice him before his death. [[spoiler: his [[HumanityEnsues human form]] in the [[WesternAnimation/Shrek2 second film]] is based on Creator/MikeMyers.]] Donkey also looks just like Creator/EddieMurphy in donkey form.
** ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' has been criticized for [[UncannyValley taking this method]] UpToEleven, making [[http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/shark_tale/cast_sm.jpg fish with human heads]] that resemble their actors - though the subtler exception are the sharks, which keep fish-like despite Don Lino keeping Creator/RobertDeNiro's [[http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/shark-tale-18.jpg mole]]. In Creator/DougWalker's "Dreamworks-uary" review of the film, he even calls the characters "Creator/WillSmith-fish, Creator/JackBlack-shark, Creator/ReneeZellweger-fish, etc." instead of their actual names.
---> '''Doug''': You don't see these characters as actual characters. [[LampshadeHanging You just see the celebrities representing them...]]
** ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' includes Creator/JerrySeinfeld and Larry King as bees (the latter of which is even called "Bee Larry King"), and Vanessa is clearly a brunette Renée Zellweger.
** President Hathaway in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' is a highly caricatured version of Creator/StephenColbert.
** In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', Creator/GerardButler said "half his career led him to play Stoick" and he could see a lot of himself in [[http://www.watcherswatch.com/pics/gerard_butler_stoick.jpg him]] (particularly the animation), and Jay Baruchel commented on how Hiccup's scrawny frame [[http://www.modny73.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jay-Baruchel-voices-Hiccup1 made the character closer to himself]].
** Po Ping from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' is basically Jack Black in panda form.
** Played with in ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar''. Despite being a purple octopus with red eyes and a mouthful of crooked teeth, Dave displays some ''very'' Creator/JohnMalkovich-like facial expressions.
* Creator/RobertZemeckis' MotionCapture films:
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'', starring Creator/TomHanks, has every single character's face altered to look like Tom Hanks, resulting in a [[UncannyValley very freaky looking]] main character.
** Everyone in the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}''. Creator/RayWinstone noted that he loved watching the film because it cut twenty years off him and sent him to the gym, while still being recognizably him.
*** Angelina Jolie's character, in particular, though with some, er, enhancements to her shape.
** In ''WesternAnimation/AChristmasCarol2009'', Scrooge is made to resemble his voice actor Creator/JimCarrey... that is, if Carrey were an old, miserly British man. Even more obvious when the Ghost of Christmas Past has Jim Carrey's ''face''.
* Averted mostly in his early films, but Creator/DonBluth eventually hopped on this bandwagon when UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation was gaining speed. The most notable examples occur in ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'', with Mrs. Toad being mostly modeled after her voice actress, the Spanish actress/guitarist Charo (and jarringly so), and in ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', where the titular character has a passing resemblance to Creator/MegRyan.
* Done intentionally in ''Westernanimation/RoverDangerfield''; Rover is Rodney Dangerfield as a talking dog, no doubt about it.
* Creator/RankinBassProductions:
** Terry-Thomas voices one of the tailors in ''The Daydreamer''. The character is ''far'' stouter than the fairly skinny Thomas, but shares his famed gap-toothed grin. (As does his character Sir Hiss in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'', with his forked snake tongue often wiggling through the gap.)
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn'', the Lady Amalthea has a slight resemblance to her voice actress, Mia Farrow. They share the same sad eyes and head shape.
* There is no denying that Davey in ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'' is basically just an animated version of Creator/AdamSandler.
* Another Sandler-related example is Dracula from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', who is little more than a caricatured version of Sandler but with a funny accent.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiesInDisguise'', Lance Sterling's design is based on his voice actor, Creator/WillSmith. Same goes for Walter being a near carbon copy of Creator/TomHolland.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndSteveTheHappiestGayCoupleInAllTheWorld'', Condi Ling is basically Creator/MargaretCho.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', the two forest rangers clearly resemble David Spade and the aforementioned Creator/WhoopiGoldberg.
* ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. Which, to be sure, was kind of the point.
* In a non-animated example, the ''Film/TheGingerdeadMan'' looks exactly like Gary Busey.
* Most of the human characters in ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' look startlingly like their voice actors (Maggie ''is'' Creator/DrewBarrymore, Mr. Bloomsberry ''is'' Dick Van Dyke, Junior ''is'' Creator/DavidCross etc). Notable exception: Ted, who looks nothing like Creator/WillFerrell and more like... well... The Man In The Yellow Hat.
* Curious example in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': though Andy Serkis played Gollum even on the set, the CGI design wasn't originally based on him, until in 2001 he was cast to play Sméagol (Gollum's previous self) for a flashback scene in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'', and they redesigned it so they could show the transformation. They weren't in time to change the design for ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' though, but he hardly shows up in four scenes, all of which are in the dark, so it's no big deal.
* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Epic}}'' Queen Tara looks an awful lot like Beyonce.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'':
** President Business is a Lego minifig designed to look as much like Creator/WillFerrell as a minifig can. [[spoiler:That's because in-universe, he's based on Finn's dad, the Man Upstairs, who's ''physically'' played by Ferrell]].
** Chris Pratt has said in an interview Emmet, despite having the most generic and simplistic face a Lego minifig can have, has some subtle facial features that resemble his own, such as the proportions of the mouth and eyebrows.
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' is about a man named Victor Van Dort accidentally marrying a dead woman... but with the character's strong resemblance to his voice actor, it might as well be about Creator/JohnnyDepp marrying a dead woman instead. Also, resemblance to Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter can be seen in both Emily, who Bonham Carter voices, ''and'' Victoria, who is voiced by Creator/EmilyWatson. This is because [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Victoria was originally going to be voiced by Bonham Carter]], and as such was designed to look like her. When Bonham Carter asked to voice Emily instead, Emily was redesigned to look like her as well.
* Julie in ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal2000'', modeled after and voiced by actress Creator/JulieStrain. The same actress is in the same Ink Suit in the game adaptation, [=F.A.K.K.2=].
* Neil [=DeBuck=] Weasel from ''WesternAnimation/IceAge5CollisionCourse'' is a weasel version of UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson no less.
** And there's a mammoth who is [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Ray Romano]] in pachyderm form.
* The title character of ''Film/TheIncredibleMrLimpet'' looks so much like Don Knotts (who voices him and portrays his human version) that it's almost disquieting.
* Songbird Serenade in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' is basically {{Music/Sia}} [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/2d/Songbird_Serenade_ID.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160723024154 as a pony.]]
** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]] in her human form bears a strong resemblance to her voice actress, Rebecca Shoichet.
* In ''Film/{{Elf}}'', Leon the Snowman is literally his voice actor Leon Redbone in the form of a snowman, complete with "[his] walking stick".
* The characters in ''WesternAnimation/LovingVincent'' resemble Van Gogh's portraits (which, of course, portrayed real people), but also strongly resemble their actors. Marguerite Gachet in particular more closely resembles Saoirse Ronan than her real-life counterpart.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanReturnOfTheCapedCrusaders'', as befitting it being an animated movie set in the universe of the 1960s ''Series/Batman1966'' series, sees Batman, Robin, and Catwoman resemble Creator/AdamWest, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar back during the days of the series. Likewise, its sequel ''WesternAnimation/BatmanVsTwoFace'' sees Harvey Dent both before becoming Two-Face and his unscarred side afterward resemble his voice actor, Creator/WilliamShatner, circa ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''.
* After the tragic death of Creator/JudithBarsi, her character Anne-Marie in ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' was partially redesigned to resemble her a bit more.
* Inverted in the live-action Disney film ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', in which many of the actors were cast partly for their resemblance to the animated character designs in the original ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''.
* Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' with its versions of Peter B. Parker, the Peter Parker from ComicBook/MilesMorales's universe, and ComicBook/SpiderGwen. While they're not complete likenesses for Creator/JakeJohnson, Creator/ChrisPine, or Creator/HaileeSteinfeld, they do resemble their respective voice actors more than typical depictions of Peter or Gwen. Likewise, while not a complete likewise, the Prowler's unmasked face features some of Creator/MahershalaAli's features and ComicBook/MilesMorales resembles a younger version of his voice actor, Shameik Moore. Also, given Doctor Octopus received a GenderFlip specifically to bring in Creator/KathrynHahn, Olivia Octavius ends up resembling her.
