Voice acting is easy work practically speaking. No trip through make-up. No blocking to learn. And no traveling to distant locations. Which is why it pays so much less than shooting a live-action movie... unless you happen to be one of the principle characters in the Shrek franchise.

Mike Myers and Shrek co-stars Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy all made a new Forbes list of Hollywood's "Animation A-List," which features ten stars who bring in the most buzz and the most cash for their big screen voice work. Topping that list is Myers, who earned about $108,000 per minute on Shrek the Third.

While the final number haven't been made public yet, the three Shrek stars were reportedly paid more than $10 million each to reprise their roles for the upcoming fourth installment. The full Forbes list of A-List voice actors is below. Check out the Forbes feature to see why they made the list.
