Moviefone: The first animated movie I went to see in theaters because a celebrity was doing one of the voices was 'The Lion King.' The celebrity voice was Jonathan Taylor Thomas as young Simba. I was 6 years old.
An animated movie rarely gets made today if there isn't some big-name star attached to voice a character. The trend has certainly put exclusively-voice actors out of a job.
Chillopedia: Kurt Russell is a great actor. Today, Kurt Russell is known and appreciated for his unforgettable performances that his fans still match the vibe with. Following are the best Kurt Russell movies of all time.
Buying Beverly Hills Season 2 Review: This show about rich people and fancy homes goes on for too long to keep up with all the drama.
Apartment 404 Episode 5 brings the chaotic cast to a thrilling case of 1991.
Meh, I think that yes the known actors doing animated movies brings in more of an audience. And it does suck that voice actors are losing out on jobs. But I could go either way. I don't necessarily go to a movie because this or that actor is the voice. But I do like trying to guess who the actors are.
I think it does because of People know that these Person is doing a role in these movie they will watch it like rango as an example people knew it had johnny depp in it so People went and watched it.
It doesn't matter a lot to me. Rio is coming out soon and the main character is voiced by a still relatively unknown actor.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs has one of the best celebrity voice casts ever made and nobody saw it...despite how incredible it was!
I think sometimes it actually takes me out of the movie (or game). The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2 is a good example. Instead of thinking of him as The Illusive Man, I couldn't help but think of Martin Sheen every time he spoke. I prefer no-name voice actors.
