In addition to voicing characters, Frees narrated a number of Disney cartoons, including the Disney educational short film ''[[Donald in Mathmagic Land]]''. This short originally aired in the same television episode as Von Drake's first appearance.

Frees also provided voices for numerous characters at Disney parks. He voiced the unseen "Ghost Host" at [[The Haunted Mansion|Haunted Mansion]] Attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
For the [[Pirates of the Caribbean (theme park ride)|Pirates of the Caribbean]], Frees recorded the ghost voice saying the iconic "dead men tell no tales" used in the ride, as well as lending his voice to several [[audio-animatronics|audio-animatronic]] characters, including the Auctioneer, Magistrate Carlos, and the "Pooped Pirate" in the ride.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://365daysofmagic.com/history/listen-to-the-amazing-voice-of-paul-frees |website=365 Days of Magic |url-status=unfit |author=<!--not stated--> |title= Listen to the Amazing Voice of Paul Frees |date= 16 May 2014 |access-date=20 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322000550/http://365daysofmagic.com/history/listen-to-the-amazing-voice-of-paul-frees |archive-date=2016-03-22}}</ref> Disney eventually issued limited edition [[compact disc]]s commemorating The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean, featuring some outtakes and unused audio tracks by Frees and others. Frees also provided narration for the Tomorrowland attraction [[Adventure Thru Inner Space]] (1967–1985, later replaced by [[Star Tours]]) and the original [[Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln]]. Audio clips from the attractions in Frees's distinctive voice have been included in fireworks shows at Disneyland.

An animated singing bust in Frees's likeness appeared in the 2003 film ''[[The Haunted Mansion (2003 film)|The Haunted Mansion]]'' as a tribute. Similarly, audio recordings of Frees from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction can be heard in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End]]'' in an homage to the ride.

Frees also had a small on-camera role for Disney in the 1959 film ''[[The Shaggy Dog (1959 film)|The Shaggy Dog]]'', playing Dr. Galvin, a police psychiatrist who attempts to understand why Mr. Daniels believes a shaggy dog can uncover a spy ring. He also speaks the film's opening narration.
