In this episode of Animation and Beyond, Ezra and Julian explore the connection between animated characters and the actors who inspire them. They look at how some characters are designed directly after real-life performers and how that differs from characters who are brought to life through voice alone.

Along the way, they highlight the influence of iconic performers like Robin Williams and Tom Hanks, break down the differences between voice acting and on-screen acting, and discuss how these choices shape character design and development. It’s a fun, behind-the-scenes look at how animation blends performance and personality to create unforgettable characters.
