Some actors have voiced more than one iconic Disney character.
You may know that John Ratzenberger has voiced a character in every Pixar movie.
But a few Disney villains have been voiced by the same actors.
Maleficent and Cinderella's evil stepmother were both voiced by Eleanor Audley. The Fairy Godmother and the Queen of Hearts were both voiced by Verna Felton.

If you're revisiting Disney's animated classics now that they're all available on Disney Plus, you may realize you're hearing some of the same voices over and over again.

That's not déjà vu. Many actors wound up voicing two or more Disney characters over the years.

Jim Cummings has become known for voicing many more characters than just Winnie the Pooh. In more recent years, John Ratzenberger became Pixar's good luck charm and can be found voicing a different character in each of their animated movies. But if you go back to some of Disney's earlier movies from the '50s to '70s, you'll find many of the same voice actors helped bring some of your favorite characters to life.

Keep reading to see which actors have voiced two or more Disney characters over the years.
