Damn. Nancy Cartwright does a pretty excellent cover of someone who's been doing the same character for 6 years.
Speaking of Christine Cavanaugh: I always found the connection with the Babe film series funny, because Cavanaugh voices Babe in the first movie, and you can tell it’s her because Babe sounds EXACTLY like Chuckie Finster in that film and then in the sequel, they hired EG Daly to play him and you can tell it’s her because in that one he sounds EXACTLY like Tommy Pickles.
First Babe was voiced by Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory and then he was voiced by Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls
@@ivanhernandez9579 lol...yeah... the same person who voiced Dexter voiced the original Chuckie, & Tommy & Buttercup are also the same voice 🤦♀️
@@elizabethramirezsierra3700 E.G. Daily is still alive she is not dead
Christine Cavanaugh was also best known as the voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory. She voiced Dexter from Seasons 1 and 2 and also she voiced Dexter in the first few episodes of Season 3 until Candi Milo took over the role as Dexter in Seasons 3 and 4 right after Christine Cavanaugh retired in 2001
RIP Christine Cavanaugh
Candi Milo also did Chuckie in some of the games during the Nancy Cartwright era
You should do the voice evolution of Grandpa Lou Pickles. He also had many voice changes throughout the franchise.
So sad that Christine Cavanaugh died young😢😢😢😢😢 she was an amazing voice actress besides Chuckie she also provided the voice for Dexter we will miss you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
She also was the voice of Babe the pig in the first Babe film.
She even was the voice of Bunny.. er, Bunny the Powerpuff and Bunnie the Rabbot. Both purple-themed with brownish hair/fur.
There's just something about her voicing red heads that sounds so natural.
I'll take either of them honestly. They're both great voices for Chuckie.
What about Christine Cavanaugh and Candi Milo they're both great voices for Dexter
@@ivanhernandez9579 Yeah that's definitely true. I'm just talking about for Chuckie.
@@cnsayin8847 why not for Dexter
@@ivanhernandez9579 What do you mean?
@@cnsayin8847 why no one talks about Dexter
R.I.P. Christine Cavanaugh
How did she die
@@Dashiell777 7 years ago in December 22, 2014, she died at her home in Cedar City, Utah, of undisclosed causes. She was 51 years old. She was cremated and her ashes scattered into the Great Salt Lake.
She'll be missed
@@elizabethramirezsierra3700 Yes
@@josiahpurtee1156 In December 2014, my father asked me to name all the Rugrats characters, and I did so. Then he told me that Chuckie’s original voice actress died.
I love the character of Chuckie Finster cause while he is timid he's also the kind member of the Babies along with being Tommy's best friend and voice of reason. I just love his evolution he had in the series and what he's been through, not only with Tommy, but also his father (Chaz Finster) and his new step mom (Kira) and step sister (Kimi). As for my favorite voice of Chuckie I enjoy both Christine Cavanaugh and Nancy Cartwright, but I definitely enjoyed Christine more since she was the first voice of Chuckie and brought emotions to the character before she retired in 2001 and later passed away 13 years later. So RIP Christine.
Chuckie is my favorite character in Rugrats.
What about Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory is he your favorite character
@@ivanhernandez9579 Yes.
@@ivanhernandez9579 Dexter is my favorite character as well. Even though both Dexter and Chuckie are voiced by the same voice actress, Christine Cavanaugh
Christine Cavanaugh, May She Rest in Peace, will always be the definitive voice of Chuckie to me, same for her work as Dexter in Dexter Lab, Cawright does a pretty ok job, though there are time when I hear Bart Simpson a little when she voices Chuckie.
RIP Christine Cavanaugh
Chuckle was always my.fave kid and Kavanaugh lovingly providing the voice was quite the treat! ❤ Truly going to miss her performances....whether it's Chuckie, Jay Sherman's son, Oblina, Gosselynn or even Dexter! She will be missed!
I always found Nancy's Chuckie closer to Christine's than Candi Milo was to Dexter. Though there were times in All Grown Up where the older voice Nancy gave him did sound closer to Bart Simpson, but as a nerd. Like most of the comments here, I agree that Chuckie is my favorite one of the group. I'd say he was the best thing about the Grown Up series, seeing him translate perfectly and being the best written character on the series. The show should have been a teen Chuckie spinoff and mostly focused on him.
Bart Simpson: *Gasp* I'm a nerd! Milhouse: *Gasp* So am I!
Yeah I was thinking in the clips they played that older Chuckie just sounds like Bart with a head-cold, lol, I watched the original show when it aired in the 90’s and I would’ve prob been around 7 or 8 yrs old at the time. Never watched any of the spin-offs or pretty much anything after the movie because I just grew out of it. Happened to see something with Nancy talking about all the characters she voices and I never knew she did Chuckie, not sure if I would’ve ever seen any with her in them back when I was watching. I definitely don’t remember watching any in the 2000’s will have to go back in the vid and check what year she started. Anyway learning she was the voice got my curious because she did a quick line in his voice and I thought it sounded pretty close but couldn’t quite remember what the original was like since it’s been so long and I wanted to compare her’s to the original which led me to this video, lol. It’s definitely close, but goes up higher pitch and more cartoony at certain words where the other actress wouldn’t gone lower or raspier/more nasally, and she definitely started taking more liberties as time went on and different iterations of the character came about, but most voice actors tend to do that. They retain the general main essence of them but throw in little things to make it distinct to them/give their own take on it.
Yeah Candi's Dexter was, ummm something else.
@@electricsoul8624 I can never blame a recast voice actor for having to be the recast, no matter how close or far they sound from the original. It happens. Either someone retires or dies or the company producing the cartoon has to work non-union or otherwise is too cheap. Also I can't blame Candi for that second half of the Dexter series being wildly swing or miss with more misses than hits.
Great video! When I first heard the preview footage for the reboot, I forgot Nancy Cartwright took over since it's been so long, and almost did a double take for just how spot-on the voice was. For me personally, I can hear the differences if I listen close enough, but if I were just casually listening, I wouldn't immediately pick up on the difference between Cavanaugh and Cartwright.
What about when Candi Milo took over the role as Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory. Can you hear the differences between Cavanaugh and Milo
@@ivanhernandez9579 I remember when Dexter’s voice changed I found it jarring even as a kid. Chuckie was a really good replacement though.
@@shecklesmack9563 Chuckie and Dexter had the same original voice actress
@@ivanhernandez9579 you are right, I didn’t say that wasn’t the case. I just found the change in Dexter’s voice more jarring than Chuckie’s, that’s all.
@@shecklesmack9563 Chuckie's voice changed too
Christine was a great actress and she will be miss and she did a great job as Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory and I love how she Voiced Chuckie in Rugrats in Paris and Season 7 of Rugrats and Nancy did great as Chuckie in Rugrats Go Wild and Rugrats All Grown Up so Christine and Nancy are both great Actresses to do The Voice of Chuckie!🍼⭐😁👍♥️
Candi Milo took over the role as Dexrer in Season 3
Hey, you forgot Candi Milo who played also Chuckie in 2 video games: Rugrats Go Wild Game and Nick Toon Twister 3D
And rugrats royal ransom
Candi Milo is the second voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory
I never really watched rugrats because I was born 2008 I wish I was born in the 90s but I remember breadwinners spongebob and Sanjay and Craig
It's a shame Christine Cavanaugh is no longer with us, but at least she left quite a legacy in both "Babe" and plenty of 90s cartoons (my top five favorites being Chuckie, Dexter, Gosalyn, Oblina, and Bunny Rabbot). As for Nancy Cartwright, she did a wonderful job capturing Chuckie's personality and speech. Although there have been a few moments where you can hear Bart Simpson trying to crawl out.
What about Candi Milo she did a wonderful job capturing Dexter's personality and speech.
@@ivanhernandez9579 Candi Milo did a great job on Dexter, don't get me wrong. I was mainly focusing on Chuckie, that's all.
@@ivanhernandez9579 GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!!! Due to Candi Milo acting like chaotic
@@ivanhernandez9579 Milo and Cavanaugh were fellow Groundlings BFFs in the 80s. That's why Milo replaced her as the voice of Dexter.
@@Tornado1994 I didn't know they were best friends in the 80s
Next Phil and Lil's Voice Evolution
Christine Cavanaugh was amazing as Chuckie, she defined him perfectly as the sensitive, cowardly but brave toddler. May she Rest in peace. ❤️
Can’t wait to see the Angelica video!
Me too.
I can’t wait to see all the rest of the characters!
He should cover the Adult characters as well.
Thanks for my request
Every time I hear Nancy Cartwright as Chuckie Finster, I try not to associate it with Bart Simpson. Even weirder is trying not to associate Christine Cavanaugh's voice of Chuckie with Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory. 😐
What about when you hear Candi Milo voicing Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory she is also Madame Foster
Sucks Christine Cavanaugh retired in 2003. She was such a good voice actor. And RIP to her crazy time flies she passed away in 2014.
Candi Milo (The Replacement Voice of Dexter From Dexters Lab, Who Was Also Voiced by Christine Before Her) Has Voiced Chuckie in Some Media
I can’t wait to see the other Rugrats characters!
The first voice actress to voiced chuckie also voiced Oblina on Ahhhhhhh! Real Monsters.
The first voice actress to voice Dexter also voiced Bunny and Bud Smith from The Powerpuff Girls
Wow, I forgot Christine Cavanaugh was the original voice of Chuckie. I think I like her a little better. I remember her voice more. You can really tell Nancy Cartwright sounds like Bart the first year she took over but then she seems to almost get it down identical afterward.
Christine Cavanaugh was also the original voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory. Candi Milo took over the role
I like Nancy, but I just don't hear it, even today in the reboot she still sounds like Bart Simpson.
Chuckie is one of the best Rugrats character all the time.
What about Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory he is one of the best Dexter's Laboratory characters of all time
@@ivanhernandez9579 Yes, I got it from myself.
@@Michael-fr3xg what do you mean you got it from yourself
Not to mention that Cavanaugh was also Bunnie Robbot in Sonic SATAM, playing alongside Kath Soucie, (Phil and Lil,) who played Sally Acorn.
Also not to mention that Cavanaugh was also Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory playing alongside Kath Soucie who played Dexter's Mom
Chuckie
I can’t be sure as I didn’t start the video yet but the games aren’t listed which had Candi Milo and another as Chucky. Wanted to make sure they’re included :)
Candi Milo is also the second voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory since Season 3
Nancy is doing a good job carrying on for Christine but Christine was the best Chuckie.
What about Candi Milo she is doing a good job carrying on for Christine as Dexter
@@ivanhernandez9579 I agree but the video was on Chuckie not Dexter eventhough Christine originally voiced him as well.
Love this
0:39 No mention of Dexter one of the best cartoon characters ever. I'm a little bit disappointed.
Chuckie's my favorite Rugrat. I loved his story in the second movie.
I like Nancy Cartwright's Chuckie voice.
Christine Cavanaugh retired in 2001, but she recorded lines for episodes that released later on before Nancy Cartwright joined the cast
Cavanaugh finished ADR for Season 3 of Dexter's Laboratory and the Rugrats' All Grown Up Special/Pitch. She Retired in January 2002 a month after her Diagnosis of ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Goodbye Cavanaugh Hello Cartwright
And also Christine Cavanaugh also did the first voice of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory in the first two seasons and the first couple of episodes of the series' third season until Candi Milo took over as Dexter's voice for the last two seasons.
Love it
Really interesting you could hear Bart Simpsons a little bit
You forgot to include Candi Milo. She voiced Chuckie Finster in the Rugrats video games.
Tommy in the revival series looks like they took Michael Chiklis and mashed him up with the Pilsbury Dough Boy.
💜
Can you please upload a Cartoon Voice Evolution for Angelica Pickles next? I love her and by the way, R I P Chuckies' first voice actress. May she rest in Peace She died back in 2014 7 years ago!
Anybody find it funny Chucky is a parody of Childs Play Chuckie? Right down to his 'good guy doll' like shirt and wild red hair!....With exception to his cowardness vs his fearlessness!
I find it funnier that when Arthur parodied the show, it accidentally predicted the existence of a Chuckie dog's chew toy. Seriously. I saw one in Marshalls as part of an assortment of Nicktoons based doggy plush chew toys.
Next you should do a voice evolution of Phil and Lil and Angelica
5:43 so much chaos in one scene
Chuckie is one big brave dog
Sonic is the best
Would they do a new series and a second revival of Angelina Ballerina and put it on Netflix?😊
In rugrats go wild does chuckie ls pants have a zipper or i hearca zipping sound?
Downward Chuckie now Upward Chuckie!
Hey Dave! Is Elmer fudd evolution in the works? He's kinda a key character who's missing, despite having a lot of history in animation.
According to his community pages, Elmer is later this year. Not sure if he's next or not.
@@stephenholloway6893 Thanks very much for the info!
I still can't believe he got to Yosemite Sam before he did Elmer
@@superdude4383 Yosemite sam is my 2nd favorite looney tune... So Im not complaining lol.
@@stewartthechristmasleech6092 fair enough, I didn't mean it as a knock against Sam, it's just a matter of Elmer being an older character
Chuckle is voice by chistine Cavanaugh Nancy Cartwright & Candi mlio
Christine Cavanaugh and Candi Milo were also the voices of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory
Why is Chuckie being afraid?
Chuckie finster's a pretty good character because I can understand that he is just scared but he has a big heart like in the slide episode from season 2 and I think Christine did absolutely pretty good because she also the voice actress actor who did babe the pig Dexter's Laboratory and of course gosalyn mallard from Darkwing Duck and I just thought that she did the voice of Chuckie Finster throughout the whole series but I was wrong it was actually Nancy Cartwright at least I can understand why Christine Cavanaugh retired from acting Chuckie Finster so I think it makes perfect sense why Nancy Cartwright voiced him I don't find a bad don't give me wrong she's a pretty good actor and I didn't even know that she was the voice of Brad Simpson I know that I didn't even care for Simpsons as much as I do not like or don't even care for The Simpsons that much but it's interesting so therefore Nancy Cartwright did a pretty good job with him anyway so Chuckie finster's a pretty good character trying to be brave and Chuckie Finster is Tommy's best friend.
What about Candi Milo she did a good job voicing Dexter since Cavanaugh retired from voice acting
@@ivanhernandez9579 oh yes I forgot to mention she did pretty good because she is the new voice of Granny from Looney Tunes well particularly in new Looney Tunes and Looney Tunes cartoons and the upcoming Space Jam a new Legacy and other things after taking a look at that video of Dexter's voice artist like Christine Candi and of course Tara Strong apparently
WAT ARE WE GONNA DO TOMMY Me: e
Nancy Cartwright did a really great job in taking over the torch for Chuckie
Nancy Cartwright - the voice of Bart Simpson
What about candi milo
Nancy did a good job replacing Christine as Chuckie, even though i do hear Bart.
Bart Simpson
Bjort Sampsim
Sart Bimpson
@@davidcortina9898 Simp Bartson
No can say two actress’s didn’t do a good job at being the voice of a two year old boy.
Chuckie sounds like Bart Simpson
He used to sound like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory
And also Rufus the naked mole rat from Kim Possible
I know you won't do the voice history of phil and lil because they have the same voice for the rest of the series
He'll only do Angelica
@@evy9439 oh I didn't know that
@@evy9439 How do you know that? And why would he cover Angelica even though she only had one VA over the parents' VAs who do have more than one VA?
@@aertnadle2466 He said so in the podcast. Also, on Sunday, he posted Angelica's Voice Evolution unlisted, and then deleted it shortly after.
It would’ve been ironic if either of these voices did the friendly kid voice versions of the Good Guy Dolls in the Child’s Play franchise. Because Chucky in said franchise looks a little like Chuckie from Rugrats given they are both carrot tops so to speak. Obviously with my idea Brad Dourif would’ve still provided the foul mouthed criminal voice.
Dave I want to no are they do More film johnny English Starring Rowan Atkinson please
Lol. All of his lines are out of context.
Chuckie sounds too much like Bart in All Grown Up
Dave lm go to London with my support work Liam
I love all rugrats characters🥰 but tommy, tommy was just annoying and that's my opinion 😒
What about Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls
