Forbes.com has compiled a list of Hollywood’s Animation A-List. In their words…
To compile our list we looked at box office earnings from Box Office Mojo and press mentions (using Factiva) for actors who had voiced characters in movies over the last 30 years. Press mentions were restricted to the six months before and after the film opened. If an actor appeared in more than one film, we took an average of box office and an average of press clips. We then ranked the actors by box office and ranked them by press mentions and then added up the rankings. So in several cases actors tie in their ranking (from adding up the two rank numbers) but have different box office and press numbers.
Number on the list? Shrek’s Mike Myers. The highest Disney name? Cars’ Owen Wilson tied at #3.
