Avatar: The Last Airbender was on between 2005 and 2008 and focused on Aang the Avatar, who could “bend” the elements of air, water, earth and fire. Throughout his journey to maintain harmony in the world, he was accompanied by his friends, Katara, Sokka and Toph, as well as two animals, both voiced by Baker.

There was a winged lemur named Momo and a flying bison, Aapa, who was Aang’s animal guide and spirit companion.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was followed by The Legend of Korra, which focused on the new Avatar, Korra. Her furry friend was a polar bear dog named Naga, and early on, she met Pabu, a fire ferret that belonged to Bolin.

Baker continued his tradition of bringing these Avatar animals to life. He also voiced Tarrlok, a politician who was against the Equalists.

Phineas and Ferb came on the Disney Channel from 2008 to 2015, and its main characters were stepbrothers named Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher. Each episode featured the boys having adventures while on summer vacation … adventures that always annoyed their sister, Candace.

These two characters also had a pet platypus, Perry the Platypus, another one of Baker’s characters. He was a spy named Agent P, who worked for the OWCA (the Organization Without a Cool Acronym) and went up against a mad scientist named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

4 Daffy Duck, Tazmanian Devil & Toro The Bull – Space Jam

Space Jam, which came out in 1996, combined live-action and animation to tell a made-up story of what happened when Michael Jordan retired from basketball. Apparently, he teamed up with the Looney Tunes to play against a group of aliens!

Two of the most well known Looney Tunes characters in this film are Daffy Duck and the Tazmanian Devil, and they were both voiced by Baker, as well as Toro The Bull.
