XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

Today’s V/A focus is that environmental superhero cartoon of the 90’s, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, produced by Ted Turner. This cartoon had featured lots of well known celebrity voices.

Aww, this is so cute! Great focus, Xerus. I used to love this show when I was a kid! :D It's so surprising to see so many well-known names on this list. Very cool, too!

Thank you. :) I didn't realize all the celebrities who did voices on this show when I first watched it, but I did hear that Whoopi Goldberg voiced Gaia. And was surprised when I read the closing credits that musician, Sting, was one of the villains.

Wow! I never knew so may big names were involved in this show! Anybody Notice Levar Burton on Cameos "Word Up" video playing the detective. LOL!

I know that Frank Welker seems to be on everything, but he is on more big movies then you would think about. But anybody ever sen him at work before. Check this out for those of you that haven't seen it yet.

Thanks for sharing. :) Yes, Frank is one of the most talented voice artists of today. From his first start as Fred from Scooby Doo in 1969 to hundreds and hundreds of cartoon characters plus lots of animal noises for cartoons and movies.

And LeVar Burton was also the host of Reading Rainbow plus Geordi La Forge on Star Trek, The Next Generation.

A lot of these Captain Planet voice artists had been guest stars on the Muppet Show or starred in Muppet movies and specials. Do you know which ones? ;)
