Of the numerous animated characters Patrick Warburton has voiced over the years, one stands out above the rest. "Always, the one nearest and dearest to my heart would have to be Kronk [from 'The Emperor's New Groove']," he shared. "Being a Disney-phile — it was in my early days — I got to create the character. I got to discover and create what he sounded like and present that. The makers of the film loved it, and that's what we went with."
Another favorite was the Wolf in "Hoodwinked." "That was a fun project, although I got screwed over by Harvey Weinstein," Warburton said, explaining that he was "paid scale" for the independently produced feature but negotiated a "back-end deal" based on the film's success. But after Weinstein saw the film and bought it for wider distribution, things didn't pan out the way Warburton's contract had outlined.
"I go, 'Well, now it is the first independently animated feature to ever get a major theatrical release. I have a contract.' Harvey said, 'Sue me,'" said Warburton. "It was interesting to be one of the four main voices in a film that between domestic and worldwide and DVD made at least $250 million ... I made a total of about $20,000 on that movie."
