All Star Cast / Animated Film

• Any animated movie by Disney, Pixar, or DreamWorks Animation, really. Especially DreamWorks.
• The Toy Story series deserves a special mention among Pixar films. The first film alone had Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Annie Potts, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, and Penn Jillette.
  • Toy Story 2 brings all but Jillette back, and adds Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Estelle Harris, and Wayne Knight to the cast.
  • Toy Story 3 loses Potts, Grammer, and Knight, while Varney is replaced by Blake Clark. However, it brings in Ned Beatty, Michael Keaton, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Jeff Garlin, Bonnie Hunt, Whoopi Goldberg, Richard Kind, and even a then unknown Bea Miller.
  • Toy Story 4 loses Ermey, Beatty, Keaton, Goldberg, Kind, and Miller, but makes up for it by bringing back Annie Potts and adding Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves, and Ally Maki in major roles, while Jay Hernandez, June Squibb, Carl Weathers, Mel Brooks, Carol Burnett, Betty White, Carl Reiner, Alan Oppenheimer, Patricia Arquette, Bill Hader, Flea, Melissa Villaseñor and Rickey Henderson all have minor roles or cameos.
• Atlantis: The Lost Empire, save for Princess Kida, who is voiced by veteran voice actor Cree Summer.
• The Lion King: Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, Nathan Lane, Rowan Atkinson, and Jim Cummings.
• Kung Fu Panda features the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Ian McShane, and Michael Clarke Duncan.
  • The sequels bring in big names like Gary Oldman, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michelle Yeoh, Bryan Cranston, J. K. Simmons and Kate Hudson.
• The Thief and the Cobbler: Richard Williams, director of the film, went to great lengths to secure not only the greatest voice cast of all time for a cartoon (Vincent Price, Donald Pleasence, Anthony Quayle to name a few) but also the greatest team of animators:
  • Himself. Richard not only directed, he drew quite a significant chunk. His crowning scene is Zig-Zag's card shuffling display for the One-Eyes.
  • Art Babbitt, responsible for Zeus and the Chinese mushrooms in Fantasia, and infamous for organizing the 1941 strike against Walt Disney. For Thief he drew King Nod and the vulture Phido.
  • Ken Harris, number one animator in the Chuck Jones unit during production on the original golden-era batch of Warner Brothers cartoons. Ken's animation of the Thief is similar to his work on Wile E. Coyote.
  • Emery Hawkins, who worked for every single cartoon studio that existed in Hollywood between the 30s and the 50s. It is not exactly known what he animated on Thief (many animation buffs guess he drew the ogre-prince who isn't in the Recobbled Cut).
  • Grim Natwick, responsible for Krazy Kat, Betty Boop, Snow White and Mr. Magoo, and was in fact 90 years old when he tackled the drawings for the Mad Witch.
  • For many of these actors and artists, Thief and the Cobbler was their final film; they poured in every ounce of blood and sweat they had left.
• The Prince of Egypt includes the voice talents of Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. Phew!

• Hoodwinked! has the likes of Anne Hathaway, Xzibit, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Patrick Warburton, David Ogden Stiers, and Andy Dick. Hayden Panettiere and Martin Short also appear in the sequel, replacing Hathaway and Belushi.
• Titan A.E.'s out of this world voice talent includes Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, John Leguizamo, Janeane Garofalo, and Nathan Lane.

And oh, the music was composed by the late James Horner, another Star Trek alumni.
• Sausage Party boasts a cast comprised pretty much exclusively of recognizable comedians and actors: Michael Cera, James Franco, Bill Hader, Salma Hayek, Jonah Hill, Anders Holm, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Danny McBride, Edward Norton, Craig Robinson, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and Kristen Wiig
