The Tower (named Janzen) is a character who appears in The Little Engine That Could (2011). Unlike the tower in the 1991 film, she is female and much nicer and not-short tempered. She was voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, who also played Shenzi in The Lion King, Stretch in Toy Story 3, Darlin in Everyone's Hero, Cyberina in Pinocchio 3000, Ermintrude in Doogal, & Miss Clavel in My Fair Madeline.
