Disney meets the Eurovision (part 1)
Whose voices have we heard both in Disney movies and at the Eurovision Song Contest? Here's a list which tries to be as complete as possible.
Being the list pretty long, I decided to only include Disney classics, their sequels and the so-called "releted products" (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mary Poppins...). No secondary products, no live actions and similar.
All acts are sorted by Eurovision first appearence. The year that follows the Disney movie(s) is not the year in which the movie was released, but that of the release of the dubbing the artist took part to.
Yes, many artists are still missing (especially for older editions of the contest), so come one, come all and help me out filling the list up!

I'm not sure if this counts but kasia kowalska sung the pop version of god help the outcasts in the polish dub of the hunchback of notre-dame
I had considered including end credits songs too, but in the end I dropped the idea, as they are not properly part of the movie itself (and the list is already long enough XD). But thanks anyway ^^
Eurovision only
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/manto-lyrics.html
Greek singer manto who sung for greece in 2003 in eurovision, sung for Anastasia in the greek dub of Anastasia
Right you are! Thank you, added
Siw Malmkvist also sung for Germany in 1969
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/anneli-saaristo-lyrics.html
This lady who sung for finland in 1989, sung the circle of life song in the finnish dub of the lion king
And Edyta Górniak sung for poland in 1994 not 1993
All fixed, thanks ^^
Roger Cicero (who sung for germany in 2007) sung for prince naveen in the german dub of the princess and the frog
And this finnish artist https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Kirka-lyrics.html (who sung for finland in 1984) sung in the finnish dub of oliver and company
Added ^^
Not quite what I think your looking for but;
Dalma Kovács qualified for the Romanian national final of Eurovision Song Contest 2009, sadly she only placed sixth but she voiced Elsa in the Romanian dubbed version of Frozen.
Noni Răzvan Ene represented Romania in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 He provides the Romanian voice of Tadashi in Big Hero 6, He signed with Walt Disney Records in 2010 by releasing the Romanian version for "Wouldn't Change a Thing" and Sindrum Media in 2012.
Daniel Diges represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, played the role of Gaston in the national tour of La Bella y la Bestia (Beauty and the Beast) which opened in September 2012 in Valladolid and visited 17 Spanish cities.
John Lundvik represented Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest 2019, He is Simba in the Swedish dubbed Lion King (2019).
Molly Hammar participated in Melodifestivalen 2015 and co-wrote the Maltese song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, She is Nala in the Swedish dubbed Lion King (2019).
Dima Bilan represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 and 2008 is the voice of Hans in the Russian dubbed Frozen.
As you said and as you can tell from the list above, no, these artists don't quite belong here (except for Dina, whom I forgot, thank you for pointing him out). As for your question about DreamWorks, no, I'm not thinking to do something similar for that studio too. But why don't you make such a collection? So we won't miss it ;)
Maybe will create a collection "Disney meets the Junior Eurovision" and add him
Yeah, as I already told to FallenEmperorPenguin, I'm including neither JESC nor Disney side-products in this collection, otherwise the list would become too long, but thanks anyway
I think neco from turkey 1982 is the Turkish voice of frollo from the hunchback of notre dame.
Masha Katz is also the voice of mother gothel for the Russian dub of tangled.
Speaking of tangled, I forgot her name, but the Romanian artists who sang "let me cry" at the 20 contest is the Romanian voice of mother gothel for the tangled Romanian dub.
All added, thank you very much for pointing them out!
Thank you for adding them. I didn't expect a response considering the last suggestions dated back to august, but it is great to add on to the list. I just found out that romania's 2002 duo, marcel Pavel and Monica Anghell, have provided their voices for Romanian Disney dubs. Marcel Patel is the singing voice of quasimodo for the Romanian sub of hunchback of notre dame and Monica anghel is one of the muses for the Hercules Romanian dub. However, I don't know which muse she voices because the article posting the news is in Romanian and I don't know the language.
All updated, thank you very much!
I've got another one for you--Marcin Mroziński (Poland 2010) is the voice of Prince Naveen for the polish dub of the princess and the frog. I saw his name on a list of dubbers for Prince naveen on a site that catalogues foreign language dub casts and characters for Disney and other animated films. The site is called Disney international dubbings which is hosted by a YouTuber called charguigou.
Added, thank you! I do know the site and I often use it as reference, but of course I cannot check each and every name listed there x)
I don't know if you are considering spoken dubs, but Björn Skifs is also the Swedish voice for woody from toy story.
Well, here's another name to the master list. Alex Panayi From Cyprus (1995 and 2000) Is the Greek singing voice of Shang from mutant and the soloist for the Greek dub of Tarzan. Cross checked with the Disney international dubbing list of course for accuracy.
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/anna-maria-jopek-lyrics.html
She sung in the polish dub of hercules and sung for poland in 1997
Added, thank you!
I love this collection! Although, I think you should specify Marko Kon (Serbia 2009) as Olaf's singing voice; his speaking voice was done by someone else. Also, do you think you could add Manizha (Russia 2021) to the list? She sang the Russian version of "Loyal, Brave, and True" for Mulan (2020).
Also Guri Schanke is the Norwegian voice of Duchess from the Aristocats
And Rita Guerra is the Portuguese voice of Rita from Oliver and Company
