David Ogden Stiers

... with David Allen Grier? Not David Allen Grier.

David Ogden Stiers.

David Ogden Stiers, right.

As John Johns.

And they made the G- the Green Lantern l- logo super small, right? Like, the Green Lantern logo should be big on his chest, you know? Like, it should be like-

And it's a great cast again.

You got Christian Bale and Mel Gibson and Linda Hunt and, uh, yeah, David Ogden Stiers, who of course was in MASH.

Uh, yeah, it's a great, it's a great group of, great group of voices and, and, right, Pocahontas is an iconic, it's an iconic film for Disney, whether you had to watch it 600,000 times or once.

It's, uh, you know.

but, but sadly, I don't know that we're gonna have a ton of pun opportunities today as we talk about the songs of Pocahontas.

This is, of course, the 1995 film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, directed by Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg, featuring the voices of Irene Bedard, Christian Bale, Billy Connolly, Linda Hunt, David Ogden Stiers, Russell Means, and definitely nobody else.

[laughs]

Maybe that's not true.

And it comes before the song everybody knows when they think about this movie.

That, like, this film has a very odd musical structure in terms of which songs come where.

Again, we open with The Virginia Company, which is, in its first part, a, an off-screen male chorus basically sing, you know, this, it, the idea being that it's 1607, the English settlers led by Governor Ratcliffe, voiced by David Ogden Stiers, who of course people may remember as the voice of Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast.

He is leading these men off to the New World from London.

Next on my list is Pocahontas from 1995.

And this is directed by Michael Gabriel and Eric Goldberg and stars the voices of Irene Bedard, Mel Gibson and David Ogden Stiers.

I really like this.

I had never seen Pocahontas.

When her parents are changed into pigs, she's forced to work in a bathhouse by a powerful witch.

The English dub of the film, starring the late Davé Chase, the late Suzanne Flechette in her final film role, the late David Ogden Stiers, Michael Checklis and James Marsden, opened in limited release on September 30, 2002 for an Oscar-qualifying run.

It was the very first traditional hand-drawn and animated film to win the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar.

As of March 2026, it's the highest-rated animated film on the Internet Movie Database, ranking at number 31 on the top 250.

all these you know speaking of 80s movies Amanda Weiss who played Beth was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Nightmare on Elm Street and played Woody's ex on Cheers and of course Yuji Akamoto doing his Howard Cosell is chosen in Karate Kid 2N on Cobra Kai and just has had a great career Inception Truman Show wasn't he in Project Hail Mary this year just a lot of good stuff

Yeah, I mean, a lot of good character actors, David Ogden Stiers, who plays Lane's dad, is a major character actor, stage actor, does tons of voices in like decades worth of Disney movies.

So, you know, I think Savage Steve had a good eye for talent.

And then there's Dan Schneider.

By the way, for

the record, the original was narrated by David Ogden Steers, so not that famous guy.

The guy from MASH.

He was from

And, like, perfect example, look at how varied everybody was in the cast of MASH.

No one could have been more different than D- David Ogden Stiers-

Mm-hmm
