Re: the Mario discourse but also the ongoing “can you PLEASE just cast voice actors in animated films” debate
I LOVE animation but it’s happened so much in the last 5-10 years or so that I’m watching an animated movie and I immediately recognize the voice of a main character. Even if I don’t know off the top of my head who it is, I know it’s SOMEONE. And I look it up either during the movie or after the movie but I’m always like of COURSE. I KNEW it was someone. And idk it just takes me out of the film because all I can hear is this person. A good example of this is The Lego Movie because it’s also chr*s pr*tt. He’s a well known guy with a recognizable voice so it’s all you can hear
I’m not saying no live action actors are capable of voice acting, but oftentimes they rely on their physical performance or costumes or makeup to distinguish a character so when you take that away and all you can hear is their voice it just sounds the fuckin same all the time. Sure there’s emotion behind it and they are acting, but not well for the medium.
I’ve seen the comparison of live action actors trying theatre or vice versa, which is a good comparison, but not all actors can switch between mediums. It’s TOUGH. It’s a COMPLETELY different acting style and anyone who thinks it’s easy clearly knows nothing about acting. If live action actors want to try their hand at VO they should at least try to understand the new medium
Theatre actors are trained to act for the STAGE. Movie stars are trained to act for the SCREEN. Voice actors are trained to ACT with their VOICES. Whether their method is accents or dialects or something else, they actually embody a new character in simply their voice that, even if you recognize someone’s voice, you hear the character first, and THEN the person.
A good example of this for me personally is Travis Willingham. I knew him first from Critical Role but for those of you who don’t (even though I am like at least 75% a critical role blog lmao) he does a lot of VO for video games and dubs for anime, etc. He does have a deep/booming voice so is often cast as like a big buff/tough guy, but that’s not always the case!
When I first watched Fullmetal Alchemist I was told Travis Willingham was in the dub and I thought that was cool but I never heard his voice and about halfway through the show my friend asked me about Travis and I was like “hm, I’m not sure if I’ve met his character yet” and they looked at me like I was crazy
So I looked it up and it wasn’t until then that I realized he voiced Roy Mustang, aka one of the main characters who had been in nearly every episode of the show! It wasn’t his usual typecast and it was a while ago so he was much younger when he did the role, so once I realized THAT was him, I started to hear it when I listened but it still blew my mind. I didn’t recognize his voice AT ALL because I only heard the character, not the actor
That’s how a good animated production SHOULD treat its casting! Get someone who will make sure the audience hears the character first, not someone who’s voice just brings recognizable star power

Peter Rabbit 2 the Runaway 2021 full - https://peter-rabbit-2-the-runaway-eng.blogspot.com/
Perhaps the first major victim of pandemic movie theater closings, Peter Rabbit can now bounce again. Will Gluck's successor to his mostly sympathetic original is pretty much the same formula as before, but pushes the meta quality even further. It's fun and hectic with little chamomile tea and more from Domhnall Gleeson having a boxing match with David Oyelowo. It may not be for the Beatrix Potter purists and has a scatter shot quality, but remains pleasant for its brisk 93 minutes. Surprisingly, Gluck and Patrick Burleigh's script has knowing fun with reactions to the first film. While critics denounce the original because it portrays Potter's heroes as arrogant, mean and downright evil, Peter ("Terrible in foreign languages, great in cartoon violence") goes on a journey from selfish to selfless like on a trip to Gloucester he encounters a Guy Ritchie-esque street gang led by gray-haired rabbit crimp Barnabas (Lennie James) and finds that he's not a bad guy after all - it makes him more attractive overall. The plot of B takes on another pervasive blow in the first strip: the betrayal of the soft mood of the original stories in favor of something loud and intrusive. Here Bea (Rose Byrne) is being courted by the well-known publisher Nigel Basil-Jones (David Oyelowo, who takes a rare chance to play), who wants to bring the characters from her family to a beach or blow them up into space. If Bea worries that her book could turn into a "cheeky hip festival just for commercial reasons," it sounds like a well-made line from a bloody Peter Rabbit review. Despite having some funny moments in Peter and Barnabas, they play a punch in the mouth in a trash can. an escape from a home kitchen - the first half lacks the narrative drive. It takes an enormously complicated robbery at a farmers market - crammed full of this hipster staple, “wildly mediocre folk music” - and a final rescue mission to sharpen the action and get the pulse racing. Peter's relatives - sisters Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail (Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Aimee Horne) and cousin Benjamin Bunny (Colin Moody) - lack distinctive characters (another trait the film makes fun of), but they are fun To be casual characters: a judging pig, a fitness fox and a squirrel busking who in an eerie way knows the right song at the right time. It feels a little thin and generic compared to family dishes like The Mitchells Vs The Machines, but the Byrne-Gleeson combo wins and Gluck injects just enough slapstick and smarts to warrant a last breath about a sequel.
But when I saw Peter Rabbit 2 with a bunch of aging film critics, I wanted to be right there for this inflammatory film. It was a pleasure to stand in front of the big screen again and lean back in my comfortable red seat. What was missing, however, was the chorus of infectious laughter that bounced off the walls.
Critics seldom laugh out loud, and they were all so far apart that I wouldn't have heard a chuckle otherwise.
But the unrepentant goofy Peter Rabbit 2 certainly made me laugh with his mix of slapstick gags and adult in-jokes. So it will surely be even more cracking for your little ones.
Domhnall Gleeson not only slips into the role of the clumsy farmer Mr McGregor, he drives himself into it with stormy enthusiasm. Imagine Some Mothers Do 'Ave' Em's Frank Spencer after a box of energy drinks.
Whether it's tumbling down a hill Looney Tunes style or being beaten up by a CGI beast, Gleeson always pulls something special out of his hat.
But it's not just the visual gags that hit the mark in this sequel, but also the sharp writing.
It makes fun of farmers markets with their overpriced gifts, middle class folks with champagne in the fridge kept for a special occasion that will never come, and James Corden's "annoying" voice. Kudos to the actor for being self-confident enough to recognize his excitable tones as Peter the rabbit, which "polarize".
The film begins with Mr. McGregor marrying the painter Bea (Rose Byrne), whose head is then turned by a publisher (David Oyelowo) who wants to turn her Peter Rabbit picture books into something tasteless.
When I saw Peter's picture on a giant billboard, I feared it would become one of those clichéd sequels where the main character learns about the dangers of fame. Fortunately, director and screenwriter Will Gluck is going in a completely different direction: The lovable rabbit meets a gang of thieving pets.
This leads to a glorious heist set piece and rapid-fire finale that hits you with one winning gag at a time. Such enthusiasm suggests a five-star review, but there were times when I would have wished I had poked vegetables up my ears like Peter so I wouldn't have to hear Corden as much.
If it weren't for that, Peter Rabbit would be 2 24-carrot gold.
