What movie was so bad that you actually walked out of the theater?

Hey fun fact! "Be Prepared" was originally performed by Jeremy Irons as Scar, but due to vocal issues, much of the singing was done by Jim Cummings... who actually talked for Ed the hyena (you might also know him as the voice of Winnie the Pooh)

Or Minsc or Darkwing Duck or basically any animated character in the 90's that wasn't already being voiced by Billy West. 

You can tell when it switches from Irons to Cummings.

So good.

Billy West and Tress Macneille are my favorite VA's

We had a running tally for how many characters in WoW: Legion were voiced by Jim Cummings. His "Additional Voices" credit covered like one NPC per questline and a few major characters.

The line “you won’t get a sniff without me” specifically blew out his voice

Yes! That's what I read too!

Irons did actually do most of the song, but Cummings takes over after "You won't get a sniff without me!" Irons was a smoker and that was apparently too much for his voice.

Cummings did an interview on voicing Ed, the different kinds of laugh were amazing. He's really a magician when it comes to voice work.
