The Best Pixar Voiceover Performances

Acting that goes to infinity...and beyond!

Don Rickles as Mr Potato Head (Toy Story 1-3)

Why It's So Special:  With his interchangeable body parts, it's inevitable that Mr Potato Head would find the funny in his wacky appearance.

John Lasseter astutely went straight to the top, asking revered Vegas comic Don Rickles to seal Mr Head's rep as the sarcastic joker in Woody's round-up.

A tour-de-force of one-liners, Rickles gets an inspired in-joke as he launches his most famous put-down on an unwitting toy: "What are you looking at, hockey puck?!".

Rickles speaks: "I’m a riot.  The rest of the show is weak, I gotta be honest!  The things I say are brilliant. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen... yeah, time-killers."

      One of the many things I love about Pixar is their avoidance of stunt casting, in order to get the best person for the role. Albert Brooks; Ellen DeGeneres; Ed Asner; Craig T Nelson; Patton Oswalt; Dave Foley; None of these would be the obvious Hollywood choices for the lead role in your big summer movie. But they are all perfect...

      Don Rickels: of course, everything about Toy Story is amazing because of the genius timing, but still to this day, I call almost everyone an "uncultured swine". Of course, not about Picasso, but actually about movies since I became a movie buff. BTW, if you don't still absolutely love Toy Story even after you've turned 18, you're uncultured swine.
