10+ Cool Facts About Disney Actors Fans Didn't Know

Where Chevy leads, Allen will follow.

This all stems from the National Lampoon's Vacation actor always being a huge influence on Allen's career. So, when Chevy turned down the role of Buzz, Allen had to take it.

It's clearly the role the talk show host was born to play.

"I didn't even have to audition," Ellen said back in 2016 during an appearance on Lorraine.

"And they said, 'You should be in this movie because we're doing this thing about fish and you look very similar to a fish'."

Whether this is true or not, we can't imagine anyone else in the role!

This ends up being the case for a lot of Disney actors who take on younger roles.

In an essay he wrote for Vulture, Joe bared all on these strict rules.

This left him rebelling as much as he could once filming was over.

"When the show was done, I cut my hair off and grew as much of a beard as I could." 

He believes in the magic of toys coming to life more than anyone else.

"I think that there was a magical element to toys coming to life when they're on their own, that everybody wants to believe it actually happens," Hanks once said.

He continued:

"I think there's also the inner life of the toys as they've been imagined by the folks at Pixar, really just makes an awful lot of sense."

"...and yet they are in the room of our dreams and they are the relationships we believe we've had with them since we were children," he concluded.

Spoken like a true Woody!

In case you're wondering why Bambi didn't have a tough military voice, it's because Donnie Dunagan voiced the character when he was just a child.

Then, when Dunagan joined the Marines, he kept his Bambi past a secret.

It's a good thing he traded in his acting career for a military one, since he was clearly good at it.

He ended up setting a record for his Corps at the time by being "promoted 13 times in 21 years."

We're not even sure if he has a good voice, but he told MTV News that Disney was really pushing for him to sing.

"I didn't just want to be a churn-'em-out guy. I never really felt like I fit in there," he said.

This happened in 2007 during a family vacay to the Bahamas.

"When I met Danielle, I was the one that was pursuing her most of the time and I didn't want her out of my sight," Jonas told PR.com.

She explained this as, "I'm never going to see this kid again, so why would I spend time away from my family while we're on vacation?'"

Plus, she didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were!

This happened when the Disney star was just 12 and still clearly unknown to Disney.

"That's a funny commercial because it's so weird to think [about] later on," she told J-14 Magazine in 2013.

Humble as always, she added: "it's funny where things evolved from and it's cool to start small."

It's safe to say that her life has changed a lot since then!

This, of course, was all thanks to her Cadet Kelly days.

Because of this, she was made “honorary Cadet Sergeant” at the same military school where the movie was filmed.

This was done so that the song could have more of an underwater feel.

Whether this worked or not, you have to admit that the song is pretty darn iconic to this day.

While Mandy Moore ended up playing the long-haired beauty in the end, this wasn't the end for Idina.

The creators of Frozen loved Idina's audition for Rapunzel so much that it helped her land the role of Elsa.

Doing a smoldering voice while you're pregnant is hard enough, but the star even went into labor during this!

“The day my water broke, I was recording Jessica Rabbit, waddling in and out (of the recording studio)!” she told Good Morning America.

But let's be clear: we are super happy with the job that she did. It was such a good movie.

But, fun fact, Natalie Portman was heavily considered for the role!

However, once Disney was becoming an empire, he gave up the voice work to Jimmy MacDonald.

There were also rumors that his excessive smoking made the voice acting too difficult for him, but it was never confirmed.

Lalaine Vergara-Paras may have been known for her role on Lizzie Maguire, but she was already acting in Broadway productions at the tender age of nine years old.

Her career just didn't quite take off like Duff's.

Back when Cheetah Girls was riding high, Adrienne Bailon was living her best life.

In 2008, she was paired with Rob Kardashian, and it seemed like her private info was hacked and someone released private photos of her.

According to him, she released the photo herself as a publicity stunt in order to get just as famous.

Holly Hunter knew the superhero game thanks to her amazing work as Elastigirl in The Incredibles.

So it makes sense that she was later cast in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which came out in 2016.

Which makes sense, because DC, like Marvel, tries to make sure that, during filming, everything is as secretive as possible.

"It's made out of order in a way that a regular movie isn't."

Either way, she was great in both films.

Eartha Kitt, who was one of the original actresses to play Catwoman, got a little nod to her role in The Emperor's New Groove.

Yzma happens to turn into a cat by the end of the movie! Coincidence? I think not!

Albert Brooks was the only person that was considered for the role, which is a compliment if I've ever heard one.

The character ended up being beloved by all, so it worked out for the best.

Which, to me, seems like an insult, but maybe it isn't.

Betty Lou Gerson played the character in the animated movie 101 Dalmations, but people thought the character was based off Tallulah Bankhead.
