In case no one noticed, cartoons and other animated shows are having a moment. Sophisticated stories, hilarious one-liners, and complicated characters are driving traditionally one-note affairs to new, wildly entertaining heights. And in turn, these shows and films are attracting A-list talent. For stars, voicing an animated character has to be a sweet gig: all the acting without the hassle of wardrobe, makeup, and figuring out where to stand. (All that without the limitations of the real world.) From Disney to Netflix, actors, comedians and all sorts of celebrities are diving into new characters, thanks to animation.
