Disgusting. Jim Cummings is one of the very few people left like Frank Welker who actually knows how to act voices unlike these untalented B list actors they use 1000 times like Dwayne, Zendaya and Pedro Pascal. Cummings should’ve been recognized for his talents, he’s done more for Disney over the years than any of those other actors.
The hatred and stoopidity of Disney knows no bounds. Despite them re fusing to recognize him he’ll always be tops with me with Mel Blanc, Don Messick, Casey Kasem, Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Joan Gerber and many others. R.I.P the wonderful years of real voice actors!! 💔
🙄Stop calling those corporate mongrels “Disney”. They don’t deserve it. It’s not the hatred and stoopidity of Disney, it’s the hatred and stoopidity of D’Amaro and all those corporate fools who have the nerve to disrespect Walt’s legacy.
It’s Disney so what did you expect. Of course they wouldn’t honor him just because of a few possible rumors about him yet I have a sneaking suspicion that it was for political reasons they didn’t honor him which makes me even more disgusted with Disney.
I know every single one of those actors listed by portapal. Not personally mind you but definitely their works. Idk if Frank Welker ever got publicly awarded either but in my mind he is crowned king of voice acting with Mel Blanc alongside him. These days when people do voices they only sound like themselves for every character. Frank Welker was born gifted to be a voice actor and not only did Jim Cummings voice in Lion King but so did Frank Welker you just don’t hear about it enough. Welker did the roars of the lions as well as the other animal sounds and grunts by use of a metal trash can. He did the scream for Spock in one of the Star Trek movies. He did countless other cartoon characters including Transformers, Scooby-Doo and other Hannah Barbara shows. He made a personal appearance with Don Knotts in How to Frame a Figg.
I never knew Cummings took over for Irons during the Be Prepared song until this year when I read it on YouTube. Their voices sounded so similar it was never really caught.
It’s truly sad that Disney didn’t recognize him.
However, we true fans of voice actors can still honor and appreciate these talented men and women in our hearts. They will be forever etched into our childhood memories and thanks to DVDs we can still enjoy their countless roles.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Real life.
But in Disney Animation realm, he IS considered a legend by fans, colleagues, and costars. True talent is timeless.
Not surprised Disney hasn’t made Jim a legend as they try to maintain the family friendly, morally correct image. But if no substantial evidence shows guilt, then Jim should be a Disney Legend. I’d like to see Michael Eisner become a Disney Legend. Perhaps the Disney family can one day get past Roy Disney’s prejudice of Michael, he did great things (prevented a hostile takeover and led the Disney Renisanc
Yeah, I’m not buying those allegations. Didn’t buy them back in 2019, not doing it now. The man beat those allegations a thousand times over, got the girls, and took her contact rights eventually. Completely innocent and deserves better. And you know what else? No one deserves that award more than him. No one in the whole company/industry.
🙄NEVER say “Fuck Disney”. Fuck those corporate morons who have the nerve to call themselves “Disney” after blatantly disrespecting Walt’s legacy and going against everything he stood for. They don’t deserve it. Jim deserves better, and he deserves to be called a Disney legend.
Typical of Disney and the left. You’re guilty until proven innocent. Plus chaospixiemagic this clown to say he’s “maga” to be a reason not to vote him in is totally ass-inine. Just because you don’t like someones political affiliation is not a reason to keep someone from getting the accolades they deserve.
Take iger off and put cummings on
40 yrs & still not inducted?
1.) Totally unfair, for ALL the work he has done for Disney
2.) Because of Mr. Cummings, we know characters by their voices.
3.) He should be honored for his contribution to the Disney world.
If you are blaming it on ‘indecency’, then:
1.) Iger was forced to leave early for allegedly being noted in Epstein files.
2.) Iger cancelled daytime soaps and other well liked shows.
3.) Not to mention that Iger set up to use Disney as his cash-cow the last couple years. (Forever lease in his Manhattan bldg)
Why was Iger inducted?
From what I just researched…allegations from his ex wife of abusing dog and sexual misconduct. These are all allegations from divorce. Because it is concerning money and child custody and child support…Go figure. The ex never said anything before and no police reports. Only now via divorce procedures that these allegations come out. And his allegations of her and abuse along with drug addictions which is prevalent in California and Hollyweird. And far as I can see he has no affiliates politically but I presume it is political association. What else could it be. Iger was an Epstein buddy. And Disney hired child traffickers on boats…and hire producers who sexually abuse kids on their kids show. And nothing happens to iger and he is indicted but one thing is different with Iger he is affiliated with the commie DSA leftist woke far Democrat party and mutilating children and sexualizing children so he fits in with that crowd like Dwayne the fake rock Johnson. He dumped out for fame. He left his man card and probably agrees with the commie party.
Again it’s all high school clique. Jim was used to make money and discarded because he wasn’t in the elite cliques. Because you have commie whoopie Gold digger as a legend so go figure. Disney executives have gone off the family plantation and the weird Hollyweird plantation and ideology. That no longer has family values but commie socialist ideologies but will bankrupt families for all their savings because they no longer care about families because normal families can’t afford it without saving for decades to have the dream vacation for kids without having another mortgage on their homes. They don’t care they are the oligarchs.

The fact people are just jumping to conclusions that this is the reason without evidence for it is hilarious
