Gal Gadot is a true Wonder Woman who has done it all: pageant queen, fashion model, Israeli army combat instructor, big screen superhero, and now, with “Ralph Breaks The Internet” – which is also on its way to breaking American Thanksgiving box office records on its opening weekend – she can add voice actress to her resume. Gadot is in good company; some of Hollywood’s most famous actresses have lent their voices to animated characters.

Meryl Streep
Splash News
Oscar-winner Meryl Streep can play, and slay, any character that comes her way so we totally bought her as Felicity Fox in Wes Anderson's 2009 animated feature, "Fantastic Mr. Fox" based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name. That's all.
Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts has played just about every character over the course of her illustrious career and in 2017 she was just a girl standing behind a microphone, voicing a Smurf for the animated movie "Smurfs: The Lost Village". It wasn't Julia's first crack at voice acting, having previously voiced characters in "Charlotte's Web" and "The Ant Bully".
Reese Witherspoon

After lending her singing talents to "Walk the Line" in 2005, Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon stepped behind the mic again in 2009 to voice an animated character in 2009's "Monsters Vs Aliens" playing a woman who undergoes a major transformation after being hit by a meteorite. Reese got animated again in "Sing" in 2016, playing Rosalita the Pig. The movie has a sequel on the way in 2020.
Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is easily one of the most recognizeble actresses in Hollywood, but we didn't get to see her in "Kung Fu Panda" because she played the animated Tigress. The 2008 movie spawned two sequels, the second of which featured the voices of Jolie-Pitt kids Pax, Zahara and Shiloh. The series wasn't Angelina's first time in a voice booth. She also lent her voice to the 2005 movie, "Shark Tale", playing Lola, a seductive female gold-digger Siamese Fighting Fish.
Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling can do it all: write, create, act and, in 2015, Mindy took on the project of voicing a character in the animated film, "Inside Out" about the five facets of 11-year-old Riley's personality. Mindy played Disgust.
Amy Poehler

Whether on "Saturday Night Live", "Parks and Recreation" or films like "Baby Mama" or "Mean Girls", Amy Poehler has been bringing us joy for many years, so it made sense that she voiced the emotion of Joy in 2015's "Inside Out".
Tina Fey

Tina Fey delivered satirical news on the Weekend Update desk on "SNL" and voiced the part of TV news reporter Roxie in 2010's "Megamind", a superhero animated comedy co-starring fellow "SNL" alum, Will Ferrell.
Ellen DeGeneres

"Finding Nemo" was one of the blockbuster hits of 2003 and there's no denying the character Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, was the fan favourite from the film. Dory even got her own spinoff movie, albeit 13 years after the original hit theatres, proving good things will happen if you just keep swimming!

Kristen Bell voiced the character of Anna in 2013's "Frozen" and we've not been able to let it go ever since. The actress will reprise the role in the highly-anticipated sequel set to hit theatres in fall of 2019.
Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz made being green look easy when she lent her voice to the character of Princess Fiona in 2001's "Shrek", a part that was originally supposed to go to Janeane Garofalo. Shrek was not only a box office blockbuster, it also won the first ever Oscar for Best Animated Film and went on to spawn three sequels and a spinoff film.
Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis is a mom in real life, one of the "Bad Moms" on the big screen and forever immortalized as the voice of daughter Meg Griffin on "Family Guy". The actress has lent her voice to the character since the series premiered in 1999.

Scarlett Johansson has one of the most distinctive voices in Hollywood and it's easy to forget she lent it to the "SpongeBob Squarepants Movie" in 2004, playing Princess Mindy, King Neptune's daughter who was also SpongeBob's mentor and Patrick's love interest. Scarlett got animated again for 2016's "Sing".
