That guy was Ed Wynn, and he was the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland! He was also in the Gnome-Mobile.

I'd like to remark the MARVELOUS voice of Tony Jay, who provided his talent to Monsieur D'Arque in Beauty and the Beast, Judge Claude Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, narrator in Treasure Planet, the Magic Mirror in Snow White DVD menus, Shere Khan in Talespin series and several more characters.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

Thanks! Glad you like it... I figured it was time for a change, since everybody else changes their's somewhat regularly.

You will all laugh at me for this one however - that sweet little orange cat who plays Thomasina in "The Three Lives of Thomasina" can be seen in "The Moonspinners" as one of the alley cats living in the temple of Apollo on Crete. She's absolutely vicious and tries to scratch the bad guy Stratos, along with the other alley cats.

Hans Conried (Conreid?) stayed true to the stage tradition by playing both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling.

He also is in The Shaggy DA as the museum proprietor and in Davy Crockett (3rd TV epsidoe), can't remember his relevance, but he dies with everyone else. I think I've seen him in other Disney films as well.

Jodi Benson also voiced a similar Ariel-esque character in Fox's Thumbelina. It's not a Disney film, but it's an animated one all the same (and it looks like a Disney film too).

Re: Different characters, same voice

I know this isn't a "voice" actor, but I was surprised to find out that the woman who played the the original nanny in Mary Poppins (the one who quit, Katie Nanna) and also played Hayley Mills' nosey next door neighbor in That Darn Cat, is Elsa Lanchester. She is the same woman who played the bride (and Mary Shelley) 30 years earlier in the 1935 classic, "The Bride of Frankenstein". Who would have thought?

Jodi Benson also voices Jenna in the Balto sequels. Ah heck, she's voiced alot of pointless characters! She should just stick to being Ariel!

Anyway I found some other ones you may or may not have recognized

Ben Wright
101 Dalmations - Roger
The Little Mermaid - Grimsby
There was an interesting story about how know one knew that Ben Wright had done another Disney character before (while working on Little Mermaid) until after his death

Mary Wickes
actress I know best as Sister Mary Lazarus from the Sister Act films
was also:
101 Dalmations - unknown additional voices
Hunchback of Notre Dame - Laverne

Hayden Panettiere
A Bug's Life - Dot
Dinosaur - Suri

Hi
Her voice was made by Betty Lou Gerson she was also Miss Birdwell in 101 dalmatians whoever that was and also uncredited in Mary Poppins.
She died in 1999.

Hi
I'm sorry I wrote the wrong name. Olof Thunberg did the voice of Shere Kahn.
