In addition to his behind-the-scenes work, Elliot stars with four other notable voice artists in the 1997 short film 5 Men and a Limo. One of his most well-known voice-overs for Disney is the catchphrase "And Now, Our Feature Presentation," which he says at the start of most Disney films on video on a "Feature Presentation" logo.
