From the 1950s to the early 1980s, Disney weren't using the most popular celebrities of the decade to voice their characters. Instead, they were using regulars like Sterling Holloway, J. Pat O'Malley, and Verna Felton to voice their characters; even during the 1960s and 1970s, Phil Harris, John Fiedler, Pat Buttram, John Lindsey, and etc. were their to-go voice actors. Nevertheless, I'll just have fun with it despite whom may have been considered. Keep in mind, my list is more of a work-in-progress.
