When you start to accept that it’s perfectly normal for supercars to have 700 horsepower, you know the world of automobiles is going in weird and wacky directions. However, the recently unveiled Alpine A110 doesn’t care too much for this and has decided to do things a little differently.

Let’s get one thing clear: an Alpine is very different from a typical Renault. While the two manufacturers have been in close contact over the last 60+ years, Renault’s purchase of Alpine hasn’t stopped them from maintaining their own unique identities.

Along the way, the A110 has been a highlight of Alpine’s production line, and eventually, it became a popular vehicle on the international stage. While its 1.8-liter Renault engine seemed underwhelming, its influence on supercars is undeniable.

In many ways, the latest A110 is to Alpine what the new Star Wars movies are to the originals. While they are maintaining the traditions and essence of the original, they seek to bring it into the 21st Century, combining both strengths from the past and the future.

Some of the similar features that could be found in the original models include its two-door structure and its 1.8-liter engine. Even the design of the new A110 makes a callback to the originals and was even made in the same factory that the original was back in the 60s – Dieppe, France.

The manufacturer may have dialed down on horsepower, with a modest 252 HP to its name. However, there is something beautiful in its simple specs. The new A110 doesn’t try to be something it isn’t.

It doesn’t mean that the car isn’t fast. It can still reach 0-62 in 4.5 seconds, which is pretty awesome! Not to mention a top speed of 155 mph. According to experts, it is a fantastic drive and is great in windy mountainous roads.

Ultimately, supercar aficionados can take a lot away from the 2019 A110. However, if you live in North America, you might want to relocate if you want to get your hands on it.

From films such as Lion King and Tarzan, some of Hollywood’s best stars have lent their voice for the part and we had no idea. Take a look at the famous faces behind these classic animated characters.

In 1992, Scott Weinger made his motion-picture debut as the voice of the title character in Disney’s Aladdin. The film was a huge success, winning two Academy Awards, having two direct-to-video sequels, a television series of the same name, and a video games series, in all of which Scott voiced the character of Aladdin. Meanwhile, Scott was the co-executive producer of ABC’s The Muppets and may be a familiar face having starred in ABC’s sitcom, Full House and, more recently, its Netflix sequel, Fuller House.

While Thompson’s only credit in 2002 was playing Captain Amelia in Disney’s Treasure Planet, she may have wished she never took on the role. The adaptation of Treasure Island ended up being a “box office disaster” since it earned far less than its large budget. However, Thompson made a great comeback a year later when she starred in the romantic comedy, Love Actually. Her other box office hits include Nanny McPhee and Saving Mr. Banks and, regardless of Treasure Planet, Thompson is considered one of Britain’s most acclaimed actresses.

Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury is a 92-year-old actress, whose career has spanned over seven decades. The Oscar-nominated actress has won international fame after having lead roles on stage, film, and television, and moved over to voice work when she voiced the role of Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast. At the 64th Academy Awards, the animation became the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it became the first animation to be adapted into a Broadway musical.

She is perhaps best recognizable for playing Peggy Bundy on Married… with Children, but Katey Sagal is also the voice behind Leela on the long-running animated sitcom, Futurama. From 1998-2013, Sagal lent her voice for the purple-haired mutant spaceship captain, making it her longest-running role on television. In 2002, Sagal was cast alongside Kaley Cuoco in 8 Simple Rules, where she played the blonde beauty’s mother. In 2016, Sagal was cast to play Cuoco’s mother once again in The Big Bang Theory.

Scar is perhaps one of the most hated animated characters to have ever lived. After all, the moment he lets go of Mufasa, which resulted in his eventual death, is one of the most heartbreaking moments in Disney’s history. However, we can’t blame Jeremy Irons for wanting to be a part of the phenomenon that is The Lion King, and we support his decision for playing this worldwide villain. Meanwhile, he has acted in another tragedy on stage, being Macbeth, as well as, the comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.

Glen Close may have made many children hide under the covers after catching her on 101 Dalmatians, but really she is just another sweet actress who is just too good at her job. While we may not have seen her face on Tarzan, she did lend her voice for the role of Karla. This time around, Karla is the hero of the film, who saves Tarzan when she finds him abandoned in his basket. It seems Cruella de Vil had a change of heart.

There is a reason Meryl Streep has been nominated for a record 21 Academy Awards, and that is because most works the actress touches, turns to gold. From The Deer Hunter to Sophie’s Choice and, of course, The Devil Wears Prada, Streep is part of some of the most iconic films in history. While fans are used to watching the talented actress on-screen, she has also lent her voice for the role of Mrs. Fox in the animation Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Actor Robin Williams sadly passed away in 2014, but his resume was filled with comedic roles and stand-ups that were second to none before he died. The Mrs. Doubtfire lead character was the voice behind the lovable Genie in the first of Walt Disney Picture’s animated feature film, Aladdin, a character no one could forget. Just like all of Williams’ roles, his character was humorous, energetic, and would bring life to the film, just as the Genie did with his magical oil lamp.

Helena Bonham Carter was married to Tim Burton from 2001 to 2014, so it is unsurprising he cast his ex-wife in some of the films he has written, produced or directed. However, Helena Bonham Carter is a talent in her own right and has always been a worthy casting to all movies she has featured in. Meanwhile, just as her ex-husband would cast Helena to play a character on-screen, he also chose her to voice the role of Emily in Corpse Bride.

If you’re a huge fan of Ellen DeGeneres and watch her daytime talk show, then you would probably know she voiced the role of Dory in Finding Nemo. After all, the sequel, Finding Dory, is all about her character. Ellen could not be a more perfect fit for Dory, who lends comedic value to the heartwarming film. Ellen is known for her humor and generosity to both her celebrity guests and fans, making her one of the most-well known talk hosts in the world.

Fans are used to seeing Justin Timberlake strut his dance moves on stage since becoming the lead singer of the boy band N’Sync in the early 2000’s. While the superstar first appeared in the spotlight when he was just a child in The Mickey Mouse Club, he has since been in a band, had a solo career and become an actor. Since his voice has won the hearts of millions over the years, he was chosen to take on the role of Boo Boo in the animation, Yogi Bear.

There is no missing Brad Pitt, for he has been a star credited actor in Hollywood, as well as, a man kind on the eyes. It seems only fitting that Pitt was given the role of retired superhero, Metro Man, in Megamind. While Brad is not the usual choice for voiceovers, since people want to see his face rather than hear his voice, it seems he just could not miss the opportunity of playing an alien refugee from the Glaupunk Quadrant.

He is a silver fox in real-life, and George Clooney is also the face behind the animation character, Mr. Fox. While this casting decision seems appropriately fitting, the actor is, in fact, playing the title role of the furry animal in the film, Fantastic Mr. Fox. This role certainly differs to his action character of Dapper Danny Ocean in the Oceans Eleven franchise or Dr. Doug Ross in E.R., but it seems that anything Clooney touches turns to Gold, with the film getting a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The animated character of Carl Fredricksen in the Pixar film, Up, won the hearts of millions around the world when it was released in 2009. Voicing this lovable character was none other than his real-life lookalike, Ed Asner. As the most honored male performer in the history of the Primetime Emmery Awards, with an incredible seven wins, Ed Asner has earned his status as a Hollywood legend and proved it once again with Up. The film itself was honored with an incredible five Academy Award nominations.

Christian Bale may be best-known for playing the lead role of Batman in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises but, aside from starring in the eighth highest-grossing film series of all time, he voiced the character of Thomas in Pocahontas. Since this role in 1995, he has become an Academy Award-winning actor, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe Award nominee. Since his debut role in 1986, Bale has undoubtedly become a well-known name in Hollywood.

British actress, Minnie Driver, took on the voice for the role of Jane in the hit animation, Tarzan. While playing the main love interest of Tarzan’s in the film, Minnie incorporated her own mannerisms and characteristics into the animation. So much so, Minnie completely improvised the scene where Jane describes meeting Tarzan for the first time to her father which resulted in this scene taking seven weeks to animate and 73 feet worth of film! Minnie is also known for her role in Good Will Hunting and ABC’s, Speechless.

Hugh Jackman’s voice-over work includes playing the Emperor penguin, Memphis, in Happy Feet, and as Roddy the rat in Flushed Away. Jackman starred alongside Kate Winslet and Ian McKellen in the film, but it happened to underperform in the box office. Meanwhile, Jackman is best-known for his long-running role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series and recently starred in the musical The Greatest Showman which was a huge success. Moreover, his role in the film adaptation of Les Misérables earned him his first Academy Award nomination.

Grammy Award-winning actor and comedian, Chris Rock, thankfully lent his voice for the role of Marty in the Madagascar franchise from 2005-2012. As always, Rock was sure to bring the comedic value to the film and did so through his black and white striped character. Rock has also lent his voice to the role of Rodney in Dr. Dolittle and Mooseblood the Mosquito in the Bee Movie. Meanwhile, Rock’s resume is filled with acting gigs on both film and television, where he mostly stars as himself in the latter.

Mike Myers is best known for Wayne’s World or getting into the character of Austin Powers. Just like his on-screen character proved in the latter, Mike Myers is capable of doing anything! That is perhaps why producers of the film, Shrek, chose Myers to voice the green, Scottish ogre in their animated production. The film was such a success that Myers was brought back for the trilogy of the film, as well as, Shrek The Halls and, the final movie, Shrek Forever After, in 2010.

Another favorite from The Lion King is, of course, Zazu. Serving as the majordomo to Mufasa, Scar, and later Simba, Zuzu is often under strain from following Simba when he was just a young cub. Mufasa relied on Zazu to follow Simba at all times, and Rowan Atkinson lent his voice for this role. The Mr. Bean star is, in fact, the face behind the red-billed hornbill who was later appointed the royal advisor by Mufasa and took on his new role very seriously.

Fans are used to see Ben Stiller take on role after role in some comedic fashion, always bringing humor and laughs to the theatre. Once again, he managed to do just that when he lent his voice for the lead role of Alex the Lion in the Madagascar movie franchise. The Zoolander star has had his fair share of interactions with animals on-screen, but on becoming one himself, he proved he was a versatile actor who could do just about anything!

Danny DeVito may have been Mr. Nasty when he played Mathilda’s father in 1996, but he took on the role of Philoctetes – ‘Phil’ for short – in the film Hercules just one year later. This time around, DeVito was playing the character who was known to train heroes and, it was Phil who taught Hercules to become a potential hero. The 1997 hit has proven to be a success even over 20 years on and is a film Danny should undoubtedly be proud to have been a part of.

He may be best-known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars film series, but Mark Hamill took on the voice work for the Batman’s archenemy, the Joker, in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992.

Having first gained exposure on Saturday Night Live, Murray has since become an Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner, as well as, an Academy Award nominee.

When Tarzan premiered in the United States in 1999, it was the most expensive animated film ever made with a budget of $130 million.
