* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: In an appearance at a [[FanConvention ConnectiCon 2013]], he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fSvkgign8mQ did a reading of Darth Vader's lines]] from ''StarWars'' in character(s) as Disney/WinnieThePooh and WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck.

* TalkingToHimself: Often plays multiple roles in the same production, notably doing the voices for both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Jim is filled with this since his voice isn't hard to miss. Rule of thumb: if a character sounds like WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}, Psycrow from ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'', WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', Fuzzy Lumpkins from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', or Franchise/WinnieThePooh, then it's him (though some characters he voices, like Monterey Jack from ''Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers'', don't fall into any of these categories).

* OldShame: According to his comments about it at various Comic Cons, everything and anything having to do with ''GarbagePailKids''.
* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: He plays a wide variety of villains and {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s--including a few iconic ones--but is a kind, charitable guy.

* NonSingingVoice: Cummings fills in for Creator/JeremyIrons (the last part of ''Disney/TheLionKing'''s "Be Prepared"), ChristopherLloyd (in ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}''), Russell Means (in ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'') and Alan King (in ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster Goes to Mars'').
* TalkingToHimself: He's Pooh and Tigger in the ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' franchise, and voices five characters in ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' And that's just on a normal basis. Not to mention that when he takes over singing for Scar in "Be Prepared," on of the hyenas he's singing to is Ed, also voiced by him.

In the world of video games, Cummings has done the voice of Minsc of ''VideoGame/BaldursGate''[=/=]''Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn'' and Drizzt Do'Urden in the first ''VideoGame/BaldursGateDarkAlliance'' game. He is also prominently displayed in the credits of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' as Pooh, Tigger, and Pete. Cummings provided the voices for "Bad Mr. Frosty", "Hougan", and "Sumo Santa" in ''ClayFighter 63 1/3''. He also voices "Sarge" and the other soldiers in the ''VideoGame/ArmyMen'' games. In ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} Book I and II'' for the Turbografx -16 CD system, he is credited as voicing "Dalles", and he provided voices for minor characters in ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight: Sins of the Fathers''. He played several characters in the little-known ''VideoGame/{{Toonstruck}}''. He also provided three of four of the voices of the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}}'', The Master. He also provides the voice of the Terror Mask in the 2010 {{Splatterhouse}} remake for the Xbox 360 and PS3. He did a significant amount of voice work for [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim the most recent Elder Scrolls title]]; most "curmudgeon" voices in the game are provided by him. Most recently he's protrayed [[TheObiWan Lorewalker Cho]] in WorldOfWarcraft. In addition, Cummings narrates the current Epcot fireworks show at [[DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World]], ''[=IllumiNations=]: Reflections of Earth''.

Jim Cummings is widely considered to be a successor to the late MelBlanc. He speaks in a deep, gravelly voice for most roles, but can do many variations of it. His skills as a mimic have earned him scores of opportunities at Walt Disney Productions, in particular. At {{Disney}}, Cummings not only replaced the ailing Sterling Holloway as the voice of Winnie-the-Pooh, but later took over as the voice of Tigger when well-known ventriloquist and voice actor Creator/PaulWinchell retired, and also voiced Crud. Cummings was hired to sing the last part of the song "Be Prepared" in ''Disney/TheLionKing'' after actor Creator/JeremyIrons pulled his vocal chords, and he also voiced Ed the Hyena. He also sang for another non-singing actor Christopher Lloyd for the song, "In the Dark of the Night" in the animated film, ''{{Anastasia}}''. He also played the star of the series ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''

Cummings is the only original ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' voice actor to return for the 2007 movie. His first three TMNT appearances were ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', ''[[CartoonAllStarsToTheRescue Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue]]'', and ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime''. The 2007 movie was Cummings' sixth computer-animated movie appearance. His first five computer-animated movie appearances included ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'', ''TheNuttiestNutcracker'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', and ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas''; and his latest animated movie appearances are ''BeeMovie'', ''{{Bionicle}}: The Legend Reborn'', and ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''.

Other notable roles include "Mr. Bumpy" in the cult Claymation show ''BumpInTheNight'', Dr. Robotnik on ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' (in both the dramatic, action-oriented [=SatAM=] adaptation and in the unaired pilot of the wacky, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-esque syndicated series), Mayor Manx on ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', Psy-Crow and Bob the Killer Goldfish on ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' and Taz the Tazmanian Devil on ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'' and a number of other projects.
