Most cartoon kids, like Bart Simpson, are voiced by adults. Any kids who play kids on animated TV shows or movies?
The perrenial holiday special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, was voiced entirely by children.
I think it was from having to replace all the voice talent on Charlie Brown specials when the kids grew up and not being able to match many of them reliably that demonstrated why y ou should pic adults who sound like kids instead of real kids.
The little kid in Monsters Inc was voiced by a little kid
Jonathan Taylor Thomas (one of the kids from Home Improvement) voiced Simba as a cub in The Lion King and I think had other voice acting credits as a child.
Daveigh Chase did the voice of Lilo in *Lilo and Stitch[\i] at age 8, then did the voice of Chihiro in Spirited Away three years later. She then did her most famous non-voice role, playing Samara in The Ring the year after that at 12.
Andrew Chalmers (aged 12 according to the cast bio for a live action show he’s in, Darcy’s Wild Life!) voices Harry in the cartoon, Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs.
Ike from South Park is sometimes (apparently) voiced by a young kid, but another voice
actor whose work stretches back to 1989 is also credited at IMDB. I think they just reuse the
same sound clips over and over…
Mike Lookinland (aka Bobby Brady on “The Brady Bunch”) voiced Oblio in 1971’s “The Point.”
FWIW, when I took a refresher course in voice work a couple of years ago, we were told that women should always have a little kid’s voice in reserve (bonus points if it can be a boy’s voice, like Nancy Cartwright on the Simpsons can do), while men should have an old man’s voice ready to go. The implication was that for a TV series that may go on for a while, you wanted a child’s voice that didn’t change the longer the series went. Adult women could supply such a voice.
In fact, all of the Peanuts specials since 1965 have had all-child casts (with the exception of Snoopy and Woodstock, who are voiced by producer Bill Melendez). As far as I know, only one of those myriad stars over the years has made a name for herself- Stacy Ferguson, who voiced Sally in two Peanuts specials in the 1980s. You know her better as Fergie.
Young Dakota Fanning replaced Chase as the voice of Lilo in one of the direct-to-video Lilo and Stitch sequels, then provided the voice of Satsuke in the Disney-produced English translation of My Neighbor Totoro.
Gabby Soleil provides the voice of Jazmine Dubois in The Boondocks.
Hey Arnold used a few underage actors for it’s voice work—the title character (at least) was actually recast a couple of times as they aged, though other actors (like Francesca Smith) stayed through the entire run.
Judith Barsi was the voice of Ducky for the first Land Before Time movie and Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven . (sadly, she was murdered by her father not long afterwards.)
That is so sad 
Hayden Panettiere played Dot in Pixar’s A Bug’s Life as a child, around 8 years old at the time. She is currently playing the cheerleader in Heroes.
Most of the kid characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender are voiced by kids/teenagers.
:eek:
I’mmmm…soooo…ooooooolddd…
Worse than when that little kid called me “sir.” Five years ago. Oooooog…
Disney’s Pinocchio was voiced by 12-year-old Dickie Jones, and Peter Pan was voiced by a then-16-year-old Bobby Driscoll.
I came in here for that; Dakota Fanning voiced Satsuki in the English adaption of My Neighbor Totoro, although since the original came out before she was born, I’m not sure when she did that (IMDB lists the “Disney Version” as 2005, but our English language version predates that by sometime. Kirsten Dunst voices Kiki in Kiki’s Delivery Service, although it’s also not clear to me at what age she did that, probably not at seven years old when the original was released, but possibly still as a young teen.
I seem to recall that Dunst also voiced young Anastasia in the movie of the same name.
