Voxatron is the closest thing I know of.
From the Voxatron website: "...have no geomtric properties beyond their position in the grid. The whole game is rendered in a virtual 3d display with a resolution of 128x128x64 voxels."
3D Dot Game Heroes has a similar look, and has some animation for the characters which seems to use voxel animations with a seperate voxel model for each frame of animation, but it seems to "cheat" most of the movement, with having things move outside of the voxel grid, rotating, etc.
There are some interesting voxel NES conversions, which seem to stick to a 3D grid for movement too. Although this video doesn't show the camera rotating, others of similar conversions do.
There's another kind of animation possible, which is kinda like a 3D version of converting a vector image to a raster image. It's kinda cheaty, as there's a clear difference between what it's doing to something made from scratch with voxels, but it's pretty cool regardless of that.
