Pixar animator Nick Pitera posted a YouTube video Monday with over 600,000 views called "One Man Disney Movie," where he sings all the voices of various Disney characters in films like "Aladdin," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Little Mermaid" and others.

Pitera, 24, was born with "two voices," able to sing in a lower and higher octave range effortlessly.

He first garnered attention in 2007 by posting a YouTube video of himself singing the male and female leads of Grammy-winning song "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin," which has been viewed 22 million times.

The Minnesota native auditioned for Fox TV show "Glee" in 2010 to fill open high school student roles, but did not get the part.

Pitera said of his ode to Disney songs: “Music from Disney films has made a huge impact on me, and has been the source of inspiration for many years. Since I was 5, I have dreamt of voicing a character myself, and this is me doing my best to pay homage to a few of my favorites."
