Connection between Barbie and Haunted Mansion!

(Only for the German version and I don't know if this is true or not)

First of all, since both movies' original language isn't German they are dubbed in German. Voice acting is very popular in Germany, however some well-known actors get a standard voice actor (for example Margot Robbie's standard German voice actress is Anne Helm).

This is Dagmar Dempe. She is a very well known voice actress in Germany, she is the standard German voice of Meryl Streep. So, whenever Meryl Streep is staring in a movie, you can be sure it's her voicing Meryl in the German version.

This is Karin Buchholz. Karin is (not only but also) Helen Mirren's standard German voice. She is not Jamie Lee Curtis' standard German voice, however. But she voiced her quite often in the past.

So, here is the "connection":

I think they asked Karin to voice Jamie as Leota but she was busy because she had to do the voice acting for Barbie because she is Helen's standard German voice and therefore couldn't do it so they asked Dagmar and she did it. So that's why we have Dagmar Dempe as Leota.

I don't know if that is true but I headcanon Dagmar being the voice of Leota because Karin was busy voicing Barbie...
