We purchased "The Jungle Book" recently, and I thought it was really strange how the voices sounded so similar to the characters in "Winnie the Pooh". So, I checked out the cast - and voila! I'm not losing my mind!
the casts of
Jungle Book
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Kaa = Winnie the Pooh
Mowgli = Christopher Robin
Bagheera = The Narrator on Winnie the Pooh
Junior = Roo

Kaa, Jungle Book
Cheshire Cat, Alice in Wonderland
Mr. Stork, Dumbo
Flower, Bambi

Roquefort, Aristocats
Narrator, Peter & the Wolf
Well, that's the extent of my research for the day. But here's a neat little video about him on YouTube.
And, yes, I do consider this a waste of time during my daughters' naps, but it was fun and I got to eat candy while doing it. Eating candy is good for my emotional well-being. And it's Friday. So there.

Maggie. You make me laugh. End of story. I have noticed this voice idiosyncracy too, but haven't gone so far as to research it. Thanks for solving the mystery for me. :)
Were you eating Circus Peanuts by any chance?
Okay, and I have always wondered if the voice for the Fairy Godmother on Cinderella is the same lady as Aunt Sarah that stays with the baby in Lady and the Tramp (when mom & dad go out of town. She has 2 siamese cats). I'm glad ya'll notice these weird things too..
Are we watching too many Disney movies?
