17 Childhood Cartoons You Didn’t Know Were Voiced By Celebs
Even when they’re not in front of the camera, actors work hard to bring your favorite characters to life. For some celebrities, that happens through directing or screenwriting. Others lend their voices to animated TV shows and movies.
Disney Channel shows like Phineas and Ferb and Kim Possible were particularly chock-full of famous voices, but plenty of the cartoons you grew up watching actually featured someone you’d recognize today.
