Mental Floss lists nine legendary cartoon voices
Not enough credit is given to the voice actors and actresses who gave audio life to our favorite cartoon characters. Fortunately, blogs like mental floss are trying to pick up the slack.A lot of the work of Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, is mentioned, but I bet none of her other gigs pay as well as Bart. I'm actually a bit of a fan of Billy West and love his work on Futurama.
While I find the list impressive, I do note some glaring omissions. Where is Mel Blanc, the man who gave the most immortal rendition of Bugs Bunny (although he didn't even originate the character)?
Also, it has been flagrantly ignored that Scatman Crothers was also the voice of the Autobot Jazz in the cartoon The Transformers from the 80's.
Overall, the list is quite interesting. I'm glad I was able to learn the voice of Spider-Pig from The Simpsons Movie. Is there anybody you feel the list has ignored?
