#so they'd probably be too old to reprise their roles

I know that Wild Kratts is one of those shows where the main [human] characters don't age despite it still being a quasi-continuity driven show, but it does admittedly make me sad that the WK kids from the earlier seasons are now relegated to (presumably permanent) background cameos because of this.
#wild kratts#pbs kids#pbs kids go#gavin kratt#2d gavin kratt#2d martin kratt#2d chris kratt#wild kratts kids#This was a revelation that I've had since watching Our Blue and Green World#But most of the child actors have grown up within the 10+ years of them being on the show#so they'd probably be too old to reprise their roles#Gavin and Ronan haven't had speaking roles since Seasons 4-5#Not to mention IRL Ronan Kratt to my knowledge has made it pretty big with his soccer career#and probably wouldn't have the time to reprise his role because of this#That one kid from the Fireflies adventure we never saw again#Ellie (that one girl in the red shirt) hasn't had a speaking role since the bat episode#Ronan Kratt actually did come back to voice his character in S7 but it was obviously deeper than how he sounded in S4#And Nina (the girl from Central America) had 3 different VAs#I'm starting to think that part of the reason Seasons 4-7 gave us so many new kid characters#is because they knew that they wouldn't have the ones from S1-3 come back regularly with the actors growing up#Which on some level I do understand#Even if they can't age up the characters (because that would require completely new/upgraded models being made for a 2-year long season)#I think recasting the kids with similar-sounding actors would be nice#maybe it's just bc I miss Gavin and Ronan idk#But until further notice they're basically just ghosts. Again I didn't realize this until seeing their cameos in one of the recent episodes

90% - One last ship teases for Meimi and Meichi. I doubt either will become canon, but they can always tease! 50% - Should Iori get a speaking role, Megumi Urawa will reprise her role. They'd presumably bring Urawa back to voice Armadimon and a 12-year old Iori probably wouldn't sound that different from a 9-year old one. 10% - Uncomfortable attempts at sexualizing Ordinemon. I want to believe they wouldn't, but I can't help but fear the worst...
90%- One last ship teases for Meimi and Meichi.
A LITTLE HIGH- The thing about Meiko’s interactions is they drift from character to character every movie. Determination was heavy for Mimi, Confession was Takeru (and a little Sora), Loss was more for Sora, and Coexistence was primarily Taichi. Don’t be surprised if Future shifts it again to Yamato (in contexts beyond saving her life) or Koushiro. I’ll put this at 60% since it’s so easy to drop something, but Mimi and Taichi have had their turn with her so don’t expect a lot.
50%- Should Iori get a speaking role, Megumi Urawa will reprise her role.
LOW- One reason for recasting the humans was not just to reflect them being older- it’s to get a consistent, younger cast who are all active in the industry (much as I love the dub of tri., it’s an adjustment getting used to half new voices, half old). An appearance by the 02 kids amounts to a cameo, and what’s the fun of a cameo if they don’t have the original voices? Urawa is still active and even had a recurring role in Xros Wars, so there’s no reason not to expect her to return to voice Iori if he has lines, doubly so if their partners do too.
10%- Uncomfortable attempts at sexualizing Ordinemon. 
A LITTLE LOW- Despite the design, it could be tricky to find a way to sexualize an abomination sent to devour the world. But if there’s an opportunity I’m sure they’ll give it a try!
