On November 6, Provost Park Pass published on YouTube a behind-the-scenes interview at Disneyland with one of my personal favorite celebrity voice actors: Jess Harnell! Jess is the talented voice behind many, many childhood memories, including Wakko Warner from the Animaniacs, Roger Rabbit, and several voices on Splash Mountain, including Brer Rabbit:
If you’re also a Jess Harnell fan, be sure to check out the Twisted Toonz YouTube channel to see Jess hilariously perform alongside other prominent voice actors including Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, and many more. I’ve gotta say, there’s nothing quite as amusing as hearing Darth Vader lines being delivered by Winnie The Pooh (courtesy of Jim Cummings)! And while I know this isn’t Song of the South related, I was also very excited to hear that the Animaniacs will be rebooted next year on Hulu, and all the original voice actors above will be returning as well. It’s simply not the Animaniacs without them!
Special thanks to Philip Kippel for sharing a link to the video on our Song of the South Facebook page, and thanks to Provost Park Pass and Jess Harnell for the great feature!
