The Cartoon Characters You Never Realized Were Voiced By Dakota Fanning

Writer Liam Parker

In addition to her already-impressive list of acting credits from the last two decades, Dakota Fanning has voiced a handful of animated characters over the years. In 2001, the "Twilight" alum voiced a character on "Family Guy" for one episode, and she voiced Satsuki in Disney's 2005 version of "My Neighbor Totoro," which also featured the voice of her younger sister, Elle Fanning (via IMDb).

In 2003, Dakota lent her voice to the TV movie "Kim Possible: A Stitch In Time," and a year later, voiced a young Wonder Woman in "Justice League Unlimited." Most notably, she's the voice behind the titular character in the beloved — albeit creepy — animated film, "Coraline," and in 2014, she voiced the character of Delf in "Yellowbird." Most recently, she lent her voice to the character of Miranda Worth in the TV series "Gen:Lock."

"I was very young when I started and I've been working on this for about four years, so I definitely have grown up with Coraline," Dakota told The Hollywood News of voicing Coraline in 2011, adding that she's just like the animated character. "I think we're both very curious. I was trying to think if I saw a little door in my house would I go and open it and go through it and I think I would."

Her love for and dedication to acting clearly shows even when she's not on camera.
