Latino singers who gave their voices in animated films

Years can go by and animated films will never go out of style, as it is one of the most watched film genres around the world. Both children and adults increasingly enjoy the different adventures that these productions give us, especially if it is dubbed into Latino Spanish , whose touch is so special that it makes us feel a much greater connection with the story than what is seen on the screen. It is there when the work of the talented people comes in, who lend their voices for countless characters, being a work that, although it may go unnoticed, is one of the most worthy of applause without a doubt.

Although we are talking about the experience of dubbing actors and actresses, more and more singers have the opportunity to join the cast of these tapes by giving their voice . The talent passes from one studio to another, only instead of singing they have to interpret various dialogues.

Below we will leave you a list with several of these musicians who ventured into this new facet in the Latinamerican dubbing. The question is, how many of them did you recognize during the movie?

An unmistakable voice! The Colombian could not have a better character than Gazelle in Zootopia . The beautiful and sensual gazelle was a musical star in the film and began to dance and sing with her song Try Everything.

Ricky Martin

With two participations so far, the Puerto Rican not only gave life to characters, but also contributed with music. His first appearance was as Hercules himself in the 1997 film , as well as performing the title track No Matter the Distance. Years later, he had a supporting role in Minions (2015) as Herb Overkill, partner of the villain Scarlet Overkill .
