Once upon a time, cartoons had characters, now these characters of course had voices and the voices are what made them who they were, indeed, the voices are what brought them to life. But the cartoon characters themselves where always the stars.
Fast forward many a decade to our current time. Every time a new animated feature comes out who are the focus? Is it the characters? Ha ha, the characters arent important, no its the actors voicing the characters that are the stars. Thats not to say that most actors don't do a good job, but more so that the characters themselves are really just shells, nobody cares about the characters anymore, its all about the celebrity behind it.
This seems to be a trend thats followed threw to here. Now all you need to do for a cartoon to be considered good is to get another popular animator to put their voice into it, make sure you plaster there name all over everything and hey bingo, you got yourself a good movie. Better yet, to be a good voice actor all you need to do is make a funny voice. Emphasis, subtle character traits, personality? Pffft, thats not what makes a character come to life, nah, just give em a funny voice and you got yourself a winner. Bonus points for screaming and talking jibberish. After all, the characters dont matter, its the voice actor behind it thats the real star of the show.
Ofcourse this is all merely my opinion, and personally, i think the only good voice actor on this site is David Firth, with each character being a complete individual with tonnes of little details in the personality and voice delivery that everyone else here lacks, not to mention his reoccurring characters are always consistent. Tho i know alot of people here will argue the point because of the lack of diversity in his accents. Or maybe its just the fact his characters dont sound like anime dubbing which is the most i can say for most of the other "voice actors" here. Not that theres anything wrong with that, but not everything needs to sound like that.
So heres the fun part, what do other people here think.
Also here is me as a pirate, because im cool like that.
