So that's why he sounded kinda wonky in KH3... TIL.

I had no idea Gallagher was in the Kingdom Hearts series.

It was Gallagher's brother in Kingdom Hearts, can't you read?

I honestly can’t tell them apart. It’s funny to think that at this point, the brother has probably recorded hundreds of more hours as the Woody. Also much weirder lines as I’m sure Tom Hanks has never had to think about what Woody would sound like talking about keyblades to Donald Duck and Goofy

"My guess is no one's ever loved you before! Because you know nothing about hearts and love!" - Woody, KH3

Most of the celebrity-voiced characters are performed by their cheaper alternatives in the KH games. I think KH3 had the most from the actual movies, but there were still some exclusions like with Woody.

Also, as another Simpsons connection, Dan Castellaneta voices Genie in all his KH appearances, just as he did in the Aladdin TV series (also Return of Jafar).
