Did you recognize the famous voices while watching these animated movies?

It is obvious why big studios bring star actors to lend their voice — it creates an extra layer of hype and attracts broader audiences. We are going to take a look at some voicing performances by famous actors that you might have missed.

Daniel Radcliffe — Playmobil: The Movie

In Playmobil: The Movie, Daniel Radcliffe's role is super spy Rex Dasher.

With his signature wit and undeniable charm, Radcliffe breathes life into the suave spy, all while maintaining that endearing touch of awkwardness we've come to adore.

Who knows, maybe one day Radcliffe will become a new James Bond as he just nailed the role of a spy agent, even though it was voice acting.

Jackie Chan — The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

If Jackie Chan is good, he is good at anything. He has established himself as a good voicing actor, in particular, in his role of Monkey in Kung Fu Panda movies.

In The Nut Job sequel, Chan voiced Mr. Feng, the leader of a gang of urban mice. Unfortunately, the movie fell short.

Many things can be related to it, but certainly not Chan's voice performance, as he was just great in this amusing role.

Tobey Maguire — The Boss Baby

Tobey Maguire voiced adult Tim who assumes the role of the narrator. As Maguire is a narrator, he doesn't have an opportunity to show some mind-blowing and impressive voice acting.

However, once you hear his voice, you immediately recognize him, and the voice of the first Spider-Man is just a pleasing addition to the movie.

Oscar Isaac — The Addams Family

Oscar Isaac lent his voice to the patriarch of the eccentric and macabre Addams family, Gomez Addams, for the 2019 animated film The Addams Family.

Isaac's performance helped bring Gomez to life in the animated world, capturing the character's charisma and unique sense of humor.

Chris Pratt — The Lego Movie

Chris Pratt voiced the character Emmet Brickowski, the protagonist of The Lego Movie, released in 2014.

Emmet is a cheerful and optimistic character, and Pratt's voice is just spot-on. He later reprised his role in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
