I'm tempted to say Cowboy Bebop, but only because Who Framed Roger Rabbit isn't fully animated.  I'm sure there's competition for Bebop's cast from plenty of movies, possibly with the same VAs in play,  but Who Framed Roger Rabbit is on another level. Animated feature length movies wouldn't exist without the work of that cast.

Early Pixar was great in getting well-known talent that also happened to be good voice actors.

Any of the Toy Story films could qualify here. Monsters Inc. is another.

There's some talent there, sure.  But a lot of the camera actors can only do their own voice or something close.

Legends like Billy West and Tress McNeil  can do an ensemble cast by themselves and unless you're a fan you might not notice there wasn't a huge cast

Ghandahar had some pretty good talent, including Glenn Close and Penn and Teller. Fantastic Planet had Brad from TRHPC.

The US version of "Princess Mononoke" had lots of talent, as did "Nausicaa, Princess of the Valley of the Winds."

To get Pixar out of the way: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and The Incredibles are all excellent vocal casts.

Non Pixar Disney, they got it in one: Emperor's New Groove is a masterpiece in how to write and perform a kid-friendly comedy. Patrick Warburton and Eartha Kitt are incredible and even the unfinished preproduction soundtrack is hiding absolute bangers.

The English dub for Princess Mononoke is also absolutely stellar. Not only Billy Bob Thornton and Minnie Driver but also one of the first leading roles for John Dimaggio, who would co-star in Futurama less than 2 years later. Also tons of anime and cartoon dubbing staples would end up doing background dialogue as well.

As far as 'famous actors doing voices' movies go, I was always rather fond of Antz.  Stallone, Gene Hackman, Christopher Walken, Sharon Stone...  and Woody Allen, in the only movie he's done that I liked.

Akira was 2 hours long (1988). Bambi was an hour and 10 minutes(1942). WFRR is 1h 44 (1988).

Ever heard of a Bugs Bunny?
Betty Boop?

If it weren't for Mel Blanc and Mae Questel knockin' it out of the park, cartoons might've faltered and bambi doesn't get made. No bambi, no anime eyes. No anime eyes, anime might be completely different. Bad performances by cartoons, less funding/popularity, Disney might've shuttered.


Not to mention the animators and talents they inspired. Mel Blanc specifically inspired none other than Bill West. No Billy West, no Futurama. That's four features gone right there. Also no Red M&M which means no Green M&M!  Practically another timeline!

Vaudeville inspired early cartoons, early cartoons inspired the next generation again and again until now in 2023 we live in an animation paradise.

Roger Rabbit was made just early enough some of legends were still alive for a cameo.  They not only grew the medium on their own, but inspired the generations of creatives who gave us animation as we know it today.

Sweet Paladine, that movie sucked. CG animation that looked like a high school class project, and a line up of good actors that sound like they're just there for the paycheck. I would suggest setting any copies on fire. But that would be a grave insult to all fire deities...

Casting a vote for the Sing and Sing 2 movies.  Matt McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Seth McFarlane, John C. Reilly, Peter Serafinowicz, Nick Offerman, Nick Kroll (sans witch hat), and some guy named Bono.  And much of the cast sings too (natch).

Aladdin's my second favorite Dusney animated film (Robin Hood is #1), but that was all 99% Robin Williams and Johnathan Freeman (Jafar) bearing the weight with Linda Larkin and Gilbert Gotftfried chipping in that last 1%. Steve from Full House provided nothing in the lead role. So, not really a 'best ensemble' sort of thing.

Dom's the god of 80s and 90s animation, Burt actually was pretty good, Judith Barsi was a really good voice actor for such a young girl, and the rest of the cast is full of Hollywood vets/character actors that could bounce between film, TV, and voice work as effortlessly as Dom as well as great niche VAs like Ken Page

Some solid mentions, but I'm going to put my vote in for the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit. 45 years later, if you've seen it, you can't get the voices of Orson Bean (Bilbo), John Huston (Gandalf), Hans Conried (Thorin), Richard Boone (Smaug), Theodore Gottlieb (Gollum), out of your head and compare them to the live action cast.  And a supporting cast of:

Paul Fries (Bombur)
Otto Preminger (The Wood Elf king)
Thurl Ravenscroft (Goblin king)
Don Messick (Balin)

*That* is a voice cast ensemble

There are indeed some fairly lengthy sequences in Futurama which are Billy West talking to himself.

The Incredibles...the primary characters are great, the secondary characters are just as strong (think Wallace Shawn and Elizabeth Pena? C'mon!), then Jason Lee blows it up. Hell, even the newsreel announcer is excellent.

I only saw that for the first time a few years ago.
The second Lord Yupa started talking I thought I was having a stroke. Knew he did western animation voice acting but never in a million years expected to hear him in a Miyazaki film.

It's pretty amazing in interviews and cons because he doesn't have to limit himself to the characters any one production owns.  His full spectrum is pretty amazing.

Speaking of Akira - the Streamline dub is the best version. That is what was on the original VHS. The Animaze dub just feels completely wrong.
