The Garfield Movie Was A Mistake

[@KS-li1iy]

Robin Williams is a great example of an actor who could also voice act and wasnt casted just because hes robin williams, but because he was incredibly talented at what he did

Have you never seen Aladdin? They literally used him to sell that movie against his wishes

[@hx20games77]

​@@jothoward7337 aside that he still fit the role but the problem with modern animated films is that they use celebrities for Marketing even if said celebrity isnt a good voice actor

[@orangeslash1667]

@@hx20games77 The problem isn't just marketing, it's voice direction. For example Orson Well's as Unicron from the 80's transformers film for his final role. He admitted that he didn't care for Transformers, but he still gave it his all. Mostly likely the people making film cared about what they were making. Robert Pattinson was cast as the Heron from Boy and the Heron, but Robert used a surprisingly creepy voice for the character. This is likely because Studio Ghibli is strict about characters. Patrick Stewart was cast as King Goobot from Jimmy Neutron, but he used a higher pitch for the character. Mostly likely because of good direction.

He works best with original characters and not pre-established characters from franchises that originated in other forms of media, especially characters with very specific voices or accents because when Chris Pratt plays these characters, they sound more like himself than the character he is trying to portray.
