    insanely stacked kids’ movie casts


    I recently looked up the cast of the Pixar movie Robots, which I loved as a kid, and was shocked at how many a-listers were in the cast. What children’s movie surprised you the most with the prestige of its voice actors?

      Idk why but Stanley Tucci as the main character’s dad (a side character who appears in about 4 scenes!!) was the one that broke me lol

      I remember thinking the English language version of Princess Mononoke had a surprisingly Hollywood cast for a time when anime wasn’t very mainstream. (I’ve only watched the sub, though.)

      Hot take, but I don’t love the trend of animated works stunt casting with Hollywood actors these days. I think they can be pretty different skill sets, & there are talented VAs who frequently do a better job.

      i know this is sort of off topic, but look up the cast of a 1990 movie called ‘where the day takes you’.

      Holy hell what a stacked cast.

      It’s not a movie, but I will never get over Steven Universe having Patti Lupone and Christine Ebersole voice two of the Diamonds.

      Back when they were absolutely CHEFFING UP these family movies and celebs knew it would immortalize them …. Those days haven’t been seen in a min (I think bc personally I believe children’s programming is dying a fastttt death)

      Happy Feet was also STACKED. Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Hugo Weaving, Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman etc.?? That tiny penguin had star power.

      That King of Kings movie that released this year from a random animation company that had Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Uma Thurman, etc. I did a double take in the theater when I saw the credits in the trailer

      Possibly unpopular opinion: This trend in animated movies, of casting exclusively (or almost-exclusively) famous live-action actors to voice all the main roles, has actually produced worse movies and voice performances overall. If you look back at the Disney Renaissance (or, obviously, the Golden Age) or Don Bluth’s major output, the best animated movies all had casts who were primarily voice actors (or Broadway stars for the musicals). The occasional exception like Robin Williams (Aladdin) was able to stand out and feel special, and the rest of the performances were often better and more character-driven, even if it wasn’t a voice people would recognize.
