Yes! When E.V.E. first encounters Wall-E, she tries several languages before landing on English to communicate with him. |

This actor was in several Disney films playing the same character.
His performances were so effective in creating an image, that in pretty much every movie after that & to this day (Disney or not, animated or not) everyone playing that character (or character type) based their performance on his. |

Sterling Holloway? Just a shot in the dark. |

No. His name may not be as well known as the character he portrayed that became the blue print for pretty much everyone.
His was a live action portrayal, depicting a real profession (although unless you're traveling by water near Somalia you're unlikely to run into someone in this occupation). |

Well, shoot. My next guess was going to be Johnny Weissmuller/Tarzan, but that’s hardly a real profession, in Somalia or anywhere else. Think I’ll stick with that as my guess, while I ponder this a little more! |

Not Tarzan.
Disney's latest iteration using the stereotype this man created has released 5 films with a 6th in the works. |

The Somalia reference made me think Pirates...Maybe Errol Flynn? |

It is a pirate. THE pirate if you will. Long John Silver as portrayed by Robert Newton in 1950's Treasure Island.
All the mannerisms & "aarghs", etc he used became the basis for almost every pirate character after him.
Also - I love Errol Flynn! |

What vintage character was originally set to be voiced by jazz legend Louis Armstrong, but ultimately was brought to life by another performer instead? |

Can't remember the name, but I believe there was a jazz cat in The Aristocats? |

Great guess, but no. On the right track with an animal character, though! |

I love that character!
What do the stories for Cinderella & Sleeping Beauty have in common? |
