Take a look at this. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0064607/)
Though yes, I do have to agree with you that they animate the characters to look like the voices. Esmerelda looks almost startlingly like Demi Moore, and Phoebus bears more than a passing resemblance to Kevin Kline (I love Phoebus). Hades looks a lot like James Woods, and Hercules is a cartooned and muscle-enhanced Tate Donovan. And even Young Simba looks a little like Jonathan Taylor Thomas XD I love when that happens. You can also see it in computer animation, like Shrek.
And I do agree, most of the "classic" Disney movies seem to have a more... artistic, for lack of a better word, feel. Their proportions are not at ALL correct - if I remember right, Ariel's actually better proportioned than Aurora - but the drawing style is more elegant and "high art." I like both styles, myself; what's good for one isn't necessarily good for another. (Can you picture Hercules in "classical style"? o.o)
