Same voices in Fern Gully/Aladdin?

[Eric B. Mc Gallicher]

Hi,

I watched Fern Gully again last night, and having just watched
Aladdin a couple of nights ago, I noticed a striking similarity
between the voices of the Sultan in Aladdin and Crysta's father
in Fern Gully. I tried checking the credits, but Crysta's father
was too minor a character to list. Does anyone out there know
if the same person did both voices?

For those of you who haven't seen Fern Gully, Robin Williams is
the voice of Batty Koda. Batty is a bat who has escaped from
an animal research facility. As usual, he pretty much makes
the movie.

Thanks!

The voice actor is Douglas Seale, and the only credits I have him down
for are Aladdin (Sultan) and The Rescuers Down Under (Krebbs the Koala).
But - you're right - Crysta's father sounds a lot like Douglas Seale.
It's possible that I missed this voice in the credits. I'll look
again.
