How do I change the words:

5. Megamind (Will Ferrel) from Megamind

Despite being a disappointment to Dreamworks in the box office, fans have loyally stayed behind Megamind as evidence of internet memes and edits. Megamind’s voice lends to his over-the-top persona with showmanship resembling Neil Patrick Harris. Despite being a popular actor, Will Ferrel’s voice melds with the character creating a unique performance. The movie is vastly improved by this lead performance.

4. Big Jack Horner (John Mulaney) from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Hailing from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, (trust me, this movie is packed full of talent such as Florence Pugh and Olivia Coleman) Big Jack Horner is an antagonist with no hope for redemption, as attested by off-brand Jiminy Cricket. Jack Horner's voice is smug and strikes every punchline without fail, clearly from Mulaney's experience in stand-up. Even if the only emotions are anger and smugness, Jack Horner gives Mulaney an opportunity to better display his range than ever before.

3. Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) from Toy Story

Toy Story is a classic franchise that has thrived since 1999 and put Pixar on the map. Toy Story 3 and 4 have maintained spots in the top ten highest grossing animated films. Allen's performance varies well with Buzz' character as he develops from bravado filled delusions to the gentle, but confident coleader of Andy's toys. While his voice is absent from the Lightyear spin-off, the very existence of a spin-off validates how iconic the character became because of Allen's work.

2. Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) from Shrek and Puss in Boots franchises

Puss in Boots originates from Shrek 2 as a hired gun. Banderas created an immediate hit with his macho, Zorro type execution. The acclaim of Puss in Boots is evident in two spin-off movies and a show: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, is the second highest grossing movie of 2022. The latest installment exemplifies the range of Antonio Banderas’ abilities with his singing and expansive emotional range. In addition, I just love Puss in Boots, and I will loyally follow this character till his ninth life ends.

Yzma (Eartha Kitt) from The Emperor’s New Groove

Another cult classic, the Emperor’s New Groove features many talented voices, but none can compare to the legendary Eartha Kitt. Her weathered, husky voice grants the villain a distinct flavor pushed by her dedication to the role. Yzma’s extremes in anger and joy fit her exaggerated design and make the movie a million times better than it could have been. The soundbite of her screams “A LLAMA” have been cemented in meme culture as further proof of her talent.
