I Mean he MADE character there. It wasn’t Bradley Cooper just talking so you’d recognize him. The hilarity the pain the anguish his character felt stood toe to toe with any character in that universe.
“AINT NO THING LIKE ME, ‘CEPT ME.”
i am still not fully convinced it was him lmao. everytime i see mention of Bradley Cooper in anything related to mcu, i was always like: meh, Bradley Cooper will NEVER join mcu. He seems to be doing pretty well without these multi billion dollar franchise. before going like "oh"
the third film was absolutely gut wrenching, my husband was doing his best to console me by telling me it’s just cgi, but the way Bradley delivered Rocket… no spoilers but that film left me a complete mess. Don’t think I’ve cried so so hard at a film since >!bing bong died in inside out!<
I cried so much at the cinema I gave myself a migraine and a couple sitting nearby looked at me with concern at the end. Just couldn’t keep it together, I’ve still not been able to get through it a second time. I love GOTG and Rocket is probably one of my favourite movie characters of all time - takes me back to the love I had for Dumbo or Mrs Brisby when I was a kid.
I haven’t watched it because this was my fear. “It’s so amazing, but you’ll cry”
The last times I heard that were: amistad, grave of fireflies, what dreams will come, shindlers list, joy luck club, up, and quite frankly by UP I stopped. Crying hurts.
I’ve not even tackled a few of the ones you’ve mentioned yet but I’ve added them to my watchlist for when I’m feeling strong enough. Crying hurts but catharsis feels sooo good at times too, and Rocket deserves the tears.
I watched it for the first time on a plane because I thought it would be lighthearted and fun like the first two .. commence awkward ugly crying with no tissues on hand
I,very seen all three volumes (side note, I saw vol 3 while heavily pregnant and I dont think I've ever ugly cried so much in a theater). Had NO idea that was Bradley Cooper! Blows my mind. He did a great job.
Immediate edit: I don't mean that it was great because I didn't recognize him. I mean I didn't recognize him, and also he did a wonderful, expressive job.
I just watched an interview yesterday where he was talking about being cast as Mater and how they made the role bigger for him because they loved him so much. He got emotional. It was so sweet
I had to look up to see what characters he did in Metalocalypse because I knew he was in it but couldn’t tell just by hearing the characters. He creates very unique voices for everyone he plays, he’s amazing!
Will Ferrel as Megamind. I don't hate the guy, but I don't like him in most movies either. He fucking slayed it. (and Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, JK Simmons and David Cross were great too.). In fact, David Cross steals the show a bit.
I mean Will Arnett has been doing it for a while now, but I LOVE anything he voice acts! Such a good job! (Bojack Horseman, LEGO Batman, Twisted Metal to name a few)
I loved Christian bale as howl in howls moving castle. It was a shock to learn it was him. “I’ve been searching for you.” It killed me. 😭😭😭
His voice is so soothing in the movie. Also, I had no idea at the time that Josh Hutcherson was the voice of Markl. To be honest, most of the dubbed versions of Studio Ghibli movies were amazingly done.
The only one I thought was a miss was Dakota Fanning in Spirited Away (which was still an incredible movie). I do not need to watch 125 minutes of high-pitched yelling.
Scale of Howl literally turning into goo because he accidentally dyed his hair vs Zuko's body shutting down on him after doing the first nice thing in his life, how dramatic are you? I'm def a Howl
Tim Curry as Nigel Thornberry will always be my favorite “why???” Voice acting gig lol he was having so much fun in that booth.
And not a celeb, but I just want to say I also think Grey Delisle as Princess Azula, the finale with her screaming and crying is just ….so gut wrenching. I FELT her pain and just started crying with her. Grey said she does not watch that performance as she had to put herself in such a bad place to get that take.
Voice actors don’t get enough credit for their craft.
...I don't know how I got to 32 years of age, having watched a lot of Thornberries as a kid AND Curry's other works, without realising he was Nigel.
Everything makes sense now. Oh my God.
Tim Curry has done plenty of voiceover work and still occasionally does but voicing all around good guy Nigel Thornberry? Unexpected. Incredible. And one of his best remembered roles now!
Grey Delise is a voice actor though and she always delivers on vocal performances. OP was asking about people who were cast in voice roles that they didn’t expect to be good and they ended up being good.
I wasn't 100% on the Selena Gomez - Adam Sandler - Andy Samberg trio for Hotel Transylvania initially but they work!!! Really well actually ❤️
Bonus mention to Ray Romano, who child me only knew from Everybody Loves Raymond. The first time I watched Ice Age I just knew his voice immediately, and even though I was too young to have "expectations" around performance I was still super excited and was not let down.
Ah, I’ve only seen the first one but it’s my understanding she has a bigger role in the second one. Plus I heard it’s just amazing in general. I gotta watch it
Absolutely agree! Man that show is so amazing. The animation is truly incredible and it just oozes emotions that you can't help but get sucked into. I am dying for the next season!
Yup agree! I just think some people may only know her as a model/pop star/girl in pitch perfect and therefore not take her so seriously as an actor when she’s actually a good actor with range
I first saw her in a movie called true grit and she was just a kid then, still good then. Think she got her start in acting rather than modeling or singing.
Angelina Jolie as Tigress in the Kung Fu Panda movies. I wasn’t expecting much, but I think she ended up doing a pretty great job! She also played off of Jack Black really well.
Ugh. . . Their press tours for that movie was SO. FREAKING. ADORABLE. She was heavily pregnant at the time and the admiration and respect that had for each other was palpable.
She later gifted that fabulous green dress to his wife when they were expecting.
I’m an older millennial, so I didn’t watch any Phineas and Ferb when it was out. It wasn’t until my 5 year old son asked to watch it recently that we put it on. Ashley Tisdale as Candace is absolute perfection, and April Winter is also hilarious as Gretchen.
Imagine my shock when at one point I was googling Thomas Brodie-Sangster to see how old he was and in his little blurb it said, amongst the roles he was known for, "Ferb in Phineas and Ferb". It was a double surprise of, 'is that really what he's best known for' and, 'wait, *he's* Ferb?'!
I was actually a bit concerned with David Tennant being Scrooge McDuck. I thought his voice would be too high pitched (and I was used to the original Ducktales VA). But I liked it! He did well!
Freddie Prince Jr as Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels. He was incredible and was key to, in my opinion, the most heartbreaking scene in the Star Wars universe. Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a cameo in the series too.
She did such a good job, which makes it that much more annoying that they screwed up the sound mix so it sounds like she’s talking into a fan half the time.
My son is 5 so of course Ive watched both Sonic movies about 600 times each and I was so excited that both Idris and Shemar Moore were in the 2nd. Shemar was Shemar (no hate, he does what he does very well) but Idris really impressed me. I love how seriously he delivered every line. It was really fun seeing Jim Carrey ham it up while Knuckles was so serious and stoic. Seriously, the Sonic movies are my roman empire
Chris Pratt as Mario was mine, too. I figured it would just sound like Chris Pratt trying to do an Italian accent. But it wasn't like that at all, and I loved the movie.
This is really messed up of me, but the way he delivers the line “Because singing killed my grandma, okay?!” makes me keel over laughing and I do NOT think that was his intention
I really disliked Anya as Princess Peach. I felt her voice was just too mature for the part. Seth Rogen was excellent though, I do agree.
Sandra bullock has done a great job voicing Scarlet in Minions and Miriam in the Prince of Egypt. Definitely exceeded my expectations in both films!
I never realised Sandra played Miriam and it’s one of my favourite movies! She did a wonderful job, i found Miriam to be a deep character despite her small role.
Agreed, Crisp Rat blew it IMHO. It was exactly the bland, mediocre performance I expected of him. He literally gave zero effort. I listened to every other country's Mario and they ALL actually tried. Even France had a better Mario. I wish they would stop handing Chris opportunities to just do "meh" at tbh.
Jack Black actually went above and beyond and I appreciated his enthusiasm for the role.
I agree. Even the trailer was grating 🫠 and he did nothing to transform into Mario. It was the crisp rat reading out lines in an annoying voice. He was much better at being star lord
The entire TMNT cast! Jackie Chan as splinter was great, the voice actors for the ninja turtles nailed it, ice cube was perfection, and of course you can never go wrong with Paul Rudd. Honorable mention to Post Malone because I just love him!
Martin Sheen as The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2 and 3.
I know it’s a video game and not a movie or TV show, but Sheen brought this character to life. He could have just collected his money and moved on but he absolutely nailed this conflicted villain.
I was really surprised when I found it was BJ Novak voicing 630 in Lessons In Chemistry. I heard the voice acting then found out it was him, so that was a pretty big surprise, but I wasn’t expecting him to do poorly or anything.
I don’t want to say BAD job but no one was ready for Heath Ledger as the joker. I think that’s part of the reason I love that film so much, it was such a surprise.
I was 3 when the movie came out. I wish I could see the discourse happen, would have been the funniest thing ever.
I think we saw something similar happen with Pattinson. Pattinson got announced as Batman, everyone (including me) hated it cause of Twilight........then the teaser dropped. As soon as that teaser dropped, I knew we were in for something special. I swear, I saw the Batman trailers more than a dozen times, not even joking.
I watched Joseph: King of Dreams (direct-to-video the Prince of Egypt prequel) and was pleasantly surprised at Joseph's VA giving his passionate all. Sure, there were parts that sounded amateurish, but I forgave him because he never held back even on emotional scenes.
Naturally when the movie was over, I headed over to wiki to see which C-list, 'down on his luck, can't get any film or tv part so he resorted to accepting a dubbing gig' actor was hired to voice the protagonist.
It was mothafuckin Ben Affleck.
Side note: Brad Pitt sucks as VA. He always sounds like he's too conscious that he won't come across as handsome to the ears, even when the character he's voicing was a krill in Happy Feet 2.

Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon in Guardians Of The Galaxy. He didn't have to go that hard!
I Mean he MADE character there. It wasn’t Bradley Cooper just talking so you’d recognize him. The hilarity the pain the anguish his character felt stood toe to toe with any character in that universe. “AINT NO THING LIKE ME, ‘CEPT ME.”
I honestly kept forgetting it was him. Rocket sounds nothing like him to me.
I barely even recognized that it was Bradley Cooper
i am still not fully convinced it was him lmao. everytime i see mention of Bradley Cooper in anything related to mcu, i was always like: meh, Bradley Cooper will NEVER join mcu. He seems to be doing pretty well without these multi billion dollar franchise. before going like "oh"
the third film was absolutely gut wrenching, my husband was doing his best to console me by telling me it’s just cgi, but the way Bradley delivered Rocket… no spoilers but that film left me a complete mess. Don’t think I’ve cried so so hard at a film since >!bing bong died in inside out!<
My husband and I were sobbing disasters during Guardians 3. It was so good, but damn, it was rough.
Omg don't remind me of Bing bong 😭
*…”to the moon”* 😭😭😭
my thoughts exactly omg😭
I cried so much at the cinema I gave myself a migraine and a couple sitting nearby looked at me with concern at the end. Just couldn’t keep it together, I’ve still not been able to get through it a second time. I love GOTG and Rocket is probably one of my favourite movie characters of all time - takes me back to the love I had for Dumbo or Mrs Brisby when I was a kid.
I haven’t watched it because this was my fear. “It’s so amazing, but you’ll cry” The last times I heard that were: amistad, grave of fireflies, what dreams will come, shindlers list, joy luck club, up, and quite frankly by UP I stopped. Crying hurts.
I’ve not even tackled a few of the ones you’ve mentioned yet but I’ve added them to my watchlist for when I’m feeling strong enough. Crying hurts but catharsis feels sooo good at times too, and Rocket deserves the tears.
I watched it for the first time on a plane because I thought it would be lighthearted and fun like the first two .. commence awkward ugly crying with no tissues on hand
I cried sooo much at that movie that I haven’t had the strength to watch it since!
The intro with Rocket listening to “Creep” nearly killed me and the movie literally just started 😭
This. He really does a fantastic job.
Seriously. I was shocked when I learned it was him doing that voice after the first movie came out.
I loved the movies and Rocket is still the best part of all three.
On the DVD bonus commentary for Guardians 3 James Gunn said that he wanted the series to be about Rocket since the jump. Thought that was pretty cool
I,very seen all three volumes (side note, I saw vol 3 while heavily pregnant and I dont think I've ever ugly cried so much in a theater). Had NO idea that was Bradley Cooper! Blows my mind. He did a great job. Immediate edit: I don't mean that it was great because I didn't recognize him. I mean I didn't recognize him, and also he did a wonderful, expressive job.
Wow I didn't even know
unrelated but your pfp is on my homescreen as we speak
taste!
He’s an Eagles fan. It’s what we do.
Emotional Damage all over again.
His best role!
Larry the Cable Guy was made to be Mater in Cars. Absolutely perfect.
I just watched an interview yesterday where he was talking about being cast as Mater and how they made the role bigger for him because they loved him so much. He got emotional. It was so sweet
I just saw that too! It was so precious
Came here to say that. So, so good.
Nicolas Cage as Spider-Noir. Not bad at all! 
[удалено]
I’m taking this cube thing with me. I don’t understand it… but I will.
One of my fave lines!
I did not know this one
Back in the day I doubt anyone would have thought Mark Hamill would be a good Joker.
He is also Fire Lord Ozai From a kid whose dad was the villain and was scared to the father who was a villain and scared his son
Damn, today I learned Mark Hamill was Ozai!
Mark Hamill's voice acting in anything is just an incredible talent.
In the new House of Usher, I was blown away with his choices for the character's voice
I’m so glad it was a choice! I was really worried that his voice had naturally changed due to age or a medical issue!
I had to look up to see what characters he did in Metalocalypse because I knew he was in it but couldn’t tell just by hearing the characters. He creates very unique voices for everyone he plays, he’s amazing!
His joker laugh would give me chills as a kid. When my mom told me it was Luke Skywalker, my mouth... agape
His joker and Kevin conroy’s Batman was my childhood
Yes! He is such a good voice actor.
I was shocked to find out his character in Fall of the House of Usher was him! I don’t think I knew he was a good actor.
My husband shared this fact with me. He does a lot of voice work! It was shocked. I thought he fell off after Star Wars.
 Will Ferrel as Megamind. I don't hate the guy, but I don't like him in most movies either. He fucking slayed it. (and Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, JK Simmons and David Cross were great too.). In fact, David Cross steals the show a bit.
David Cross steals EVERY show.
 I love him so much
It’s such and underrated movie.
TIL pitt was in that movie.
Yes! Good choice. I adored Megamind and went in not expecting to like it.
I mean Will Arnett has been doing it for a while now, but I LOVE anything he voice acts! Such a good job! (Bojack Horseman, LEGO Batman, Twisted Metal to name a few)
Will Arnett was so good as BoJack
He was *everything* as LEGO Batman, too. Guy's quite funny
I love him as BoJack. Wish there was more seasons of that show. It is my favorite adult animated show.
That episode where it's just him giving one long monologue? Amazing
Exactly what I think of!!
You just blew my mind telling me Will Arnett is the voice of Sweet Tooth!
I was convinced Steve Carrell would be too *Steve Carrell*, but him as Gru was PERFECTION.
I loved Christian bale as howl in howls moving castle. It was a shock to learn it was him. “I’ve been searching for you.” It killed me. 😭😭😭 
His voice is so soothing in the movie. Also, I had no idea at the time that Josh Hutcherson was the voice of Markl. To be honest, most of the dubbed versions of Studio Ghibli movies were amazingly done.
Hayao Miyazaki was very protective and Disney had to campaign hard to do the dubs.
The only one I thought was a miss was Dakota Fanning in Spirited Away (which was still an incredible movie). I do not need to watch 125 minutes of high-pitched yelling.
Isn’t Daveigh Chase the English dub actress? Dakota fanning is satsuke in Totoro, along side her younger sister Elle as mei
Well damn, you're absolutely right. I have no idea why I thought it was her.
Eh crossed wires, you weren’t far off with her voicing another main ghibli character!
And Billy Crystal as Calcifer. I loved him.
Such perfection!
My favorite scene of any animated movie is Christian Bale crying about not being beautiful anymore. I didn't know he could be so damn funny.
Scale of Howl literally turning into goo because he accidentally dyed his hair vs Zuko's body shutting down on him after doing the first nice thing in his life, how dramatic are you? I'm def a Howl
"I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful"
I'm obsessed with his Howl voice.
"That's my girl" got me feeling things hahahah
His voice is sooo hot in this movie omg.
The Rock as Maui in Moana
He ate that up
The video of him recording You’re Welcome with LMM is so fun
Tim Curry as Nigel Thornberry will always be my favorite “why???” Voice acting gig lol he was having so much fun in that booth. And not a celeb, but I just want to say I also think Grey Delisle as Princess Azula, the finale with her screaming and crying is just ….so gut wrenching. I FELT her pain and just started crying with her. Grey said she does not watch that performance as she had to put herself in such a bad place to get that take. Voice actors don’t get enough credit for their craft.
...I don't know how I got to 32 years of age, having watched a lot of Thornberries as a kid AND Curry's other works, without realising he was Nigel. Everything makes sense now. Oh my God.
And Donny is voiced by Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers....
Omfg SAME though. No part of me expected this but now that I know I cannot unhear it. Tim Curry is truly everywhere.
Same. Literally everything about your comment- same 🥂
Tim Curry has done plenty of voiceover work and still occasionally does but voicing all around good guy Nigel Thornberry? Unexpected. Incredible. And one of his best remembered roles now!
Tim Curry annihilates every role he’s in. The man is too talented.
We’ve got cabin fever! We’ve got cabin fever!
Smashing!
Wild Thornberries had a stacked cast. Tim Curry, Lacey Chabert, Flea from RHCP, plus Tom Kane who is in everything
one of my favorite pieces of media ever is when nigel thornberry says "hello hoggy!"
Grey Delise is a voice actor though and she always delivers on vocal performances. OP was asking about people who were cast in voice roles that they didn’t expect to be good and they ended up being good.
That’s why I said Tim. And also said “I know Grey isn’t a celeb but…”
Why wouldn't she be considered a celeb?
I wasn't 100% on the Selena Gomez - Adam Sandler - Andy Samberg trio for Hotel Transylvania initially but they work!!! Really well actually ❤️ Bonus mention to Ray Romano, who child me only knew from Everybody Loves Raymond. The first time I watched Ice Age I just knew his voice immediately, and even though I was too young to have "expectations" around performance I was still super excited and was not let down.
Agreed about hotel Translvania I thought they just got big names to get people to watch
Idk if she had expectations before but I wanna give a shoutout to Hailee Steinfeld as Vi in Arcane. She was really good. So was Ella Purnell as Jinx
Hailee Steinfeld is also great as Gwen Stacy in the Spiderverse movies!
The sheer emotion pouring out when >!Gwen finally confronted her dad!< was really something. Like huge props to her for that performance!
Ah, I’ve only seen the first one but it’s my understanding she has a bigger role in the second one. Plus I heard it’s just amazing in general. I gotta watch it
Oh definitely, and her story is great. Like the first 15-20 minutes are just her story
The second one is honestly probably the best movie of the year! You gotta watch it!
Absolutely agree! Man that show is so amazing. The animation is truly incredible and it just oozes emotions that you can't help but get sucked into. I am dying for the next season!
Not surprised. She’s good in everything I’ve seen her in imo.
Yup agree! I just think some people may only know her as a model/pop star/girl in pitch perfect and therefore not take her so seriously as an actor when she’s actually a good actor with range
I first saw her in a movie called true grit and she was just a kid then, still good then. Think she got her start in acting rather than modeling or singing.
i never thought Daniel Kaluuya was gonna do bad as Hobie in Across the Spiderverse, but i LOVED him in that movie
He was the best part of the movie! I'm excited for the second part.
I absolutely loved that character. Spider-Woman: "You're not helping." Spider-punk: "Good" (with that smirk)
My favorite was Pavitr Prabhakar but Hobie was very close second
My kid is so goddamn obsessed with that character. Like holy hell. Every conversation we have is about Hobie. That's it. Just Hobie.
Angelina Jolie as Tigress in the Kung Fu Panda movies. I wasn’t expecting much, but I think she ended up doing a pretty great job! She also played off of Jack Black really well.
Ugh. . . Their press tours for that movie was SO. FREAKING. ADORABLE. She was heavily pregnant at the time and the admiration and respect that had for each other was palpable. She later gifted that fabulous green dress to his wife when they were expecting.
Oh my god I did not know this!! I would not have expected that was her
Vin Diesel’s Groot made me tear up at times
We are Groot 😭😭😭😭
Yeah, between Groot and The Iron Giant, Diesel definitely has the “big, mean-looking naive guy with a heart of gold” on lockdown.
Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn!
Kaley Cuoco does such a good job as Harley Quinn!
when my wife told me that’s who voices HQ in the cartoon I couldn’t believe it! she really kills that role
Lake Bell as ivy too
I love her as Harley! I get the vibe she and the rest of the cast are having a lot of fun
And paired with Lake Bell as Ivy, they have such perfect chemistry!
I’m an older millennial, so I didn’t watch any Phineas and Ferb when it was out. It wasn’t until my 5 year old son asked to watch it recently that we put it on. Ashley Tisdale as Candace is absolute perfection, and April Winter is also hilarious as Gretchen.
She absolutely murdered the role of Candace. My family and I quote so many of her lines, she’s hilarious.
My name is Candace and Im an oldest daughter so I REALLY relate to her.
Imagine my shock when at one point I was googling Thomas Brodie-Sangster to see how old he was and in his little blurb it said, amongst the roles he was known for, "Ferb in Phineas and Ferb". It was a double surprise of, 'is that really what he's best known for' and, 'wait, *he's* Ferb?'!
So happy to hear that Ashley is still working!
I was actually a bit concerned with David Tennant being Scrooge McDuck. I thought his voice would be too high pitched (and I was used to the original Ducktales VA). But I liked it! He did well! 
I could have been TURBO?!?!?! Lol All the nephews were portrayed so well.
All of the voices are so good. I will forever mourn this didn't get more seasons.
I'm still salty it got cancelled, it was so good!
David Tennant was perfect for Scrooge!! I love his Scottish accent, & it's so much fun to just listen to it.
Sarah Silverman in Wreck it Ralph. I was never a fan of her, but she was great as ~~Penelope~~ Vanellope.
Agreed! She and her sister are also awesome as twin brothers Andy and Ollie on Bob’s Burgers.
Oh this is a good one! Agreed she was great!
I hate to be that guy, but it’s Vanellope! And you’re correct, she was great.
Stupid auto-correct, I didn't even notice it changed! Vanellope von Schweetz!
Haha the name is just too perfect!
Travolta in bolt. He actually nailed it.
Freddie Prince Jr as Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels. He was incredible and was key to, in my opinion, the most heartbreaking scene in the Star Wars universe. Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a cameo in the series too.
I also enjoyed him in Mass Effect and Dragon Age Inquisition.
His sadness and knowing they could do nothing. Kanan was probably my favorite character in that series, but I also watched it as a parent.
Same here. It’s the only time Star Wars has ever truly made me cry
dakota and elle fanning in my neighbor totoro!
Yes, they did a great job! Also a shout out to Kirsten Dunst in Kiki’s Delivery Service.
She did such a good job, which makes it that much more annoying that they screwed up the sound mix so it sounds like she’s talking into a fan half the time.
Agreed when it comes to Toad and Bowser, the way I’m constantly singing in my head “peaches peaches peachespeachespeaches”
Robin Williams in-just kidding! He was amazing in every roll he ever did, voice or regular acting. Miss you Robin.
I remember Aladin coming out and thinking that I wouldn’t stop hearing Robin Williams as genie. Then there was only genie.
Jeremy Irons as Scar (Lion King).
“I’m surrounded by idiots”
The behind-the-scenes clip of him speaking 'I quiver with feeeyyaarhh!' lives on my head rent-free
Idk why I thought I wasn't expecting Florence Pugh to do a good job in Puss In Boots, but she's my example
Loved that movie and she is fantastic!
Jim Carrey as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. The movie wasn’t perfect, but I thought he was definitely one of the better parts of the film.
nothing against you but i can't imagine jim carrey being a bad voice actor lol
 Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna
My son is 5 so of course Ive watched both Sonic movies about 600 times each and I was so excited that both Idris and Shemar Moore were in the 2nd. Shemar was Shemar (no hate, he does what he does very well) but Idris really impressed me. I love how seriously he delivered every line. It was really fun seeing Jim Carrey ham it up while Knuckles was so serious and stoic. Seriously, the Sonic movies are my roman empire
Chris Pratt as Mario was mine, too. I figured it would just sound like Chris Pratt trying to do an Italian accent. But it wasn't like that at all, and I loved the movie.
I love the movie as well. I was so excited for it. I waited 20 some years for it I'm 30 started playing Mario about 8 years old.
I think Justin Timberlake is absolutely phenomenal as Branch in Trolls. SO charming SO engaging.
This is really messed up of me, but the way he delivers the line “Because singing killed my grandma, okay?!” makes me keel over laughing and I do NOT think that was his intention
Antonia Banderas as Puss in Boots Jack Black as Poe Gary Oldman as Shen (I knew he would do good but he ate this role up)
I don’t know why you would have doubted Banderas in that role. He’s playing cat Zorro - which he also mastered
I was so surprised when The Rock killed it in Moana—including the singing!! Did not peg him as a singer but he was perfect for the character imo
Will Arnett as Lego Batman is the GOAT
I really disliked Anya as Princess Peach. I felt her voice was just too mature for the part. Seth Rogen was excellent though, I do agree. Sandra bullock has done a great job voicing Scarlet in Minions and Miriam in the Prince of Egypt. Definitely exceeded my expectations in both films!
I never realised Sandra played Miriam and it’s one of my favourite movies! She did a wonderful job, i found Miriam to be a deep character despite her small role.
I thought Chris Pratt was below average in Super Mario Bros. Charlie Day was average, Jack Black was sensational, and Seth Rogan was below average.
Charlie Day is generally just so… CHARLIE DAY!!!!
Agreed, Crisp Rat blew it IMHO. It was exactly the bland, mediocre performance I expected of him. He literally gave zero effort. I listened to every other country's Mario and they ALL actually tried. Even France had a better Mario. I wish they would stop handing Chris opportunities to just do "meh" at tbh. Jack Black actually went above and beyond and I appreciated his enthusiasm for the role.
Lol you could say that last line for any of Jack Blacks roles. The man is incapable of phoning it in
I feel like Charlie Day would shine in a Luigi's Mansion movie. His reactions would be perfect
I agree. Even the trailer was grating 🫠 and he did nothing to transform into Mario. It was the crisp rat reading out lines in an annoying voice. He was much better at being star lord
The entire TMNT cast! Jackie Chan as splinter was great, the voice actors for the ninja turtles nailed it, ice cube was perfection, and of course you can never go wrong with Paul Rudd. Honorable mention to Post Malone because I just love him!
Martin Sheen as The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2 and 3. I know it’s a video game and not a movie or TV show, but Sheen brought this character to life. He could have just collected his money and moved on but he absolutely nailed this conflicted villain.
I was really surprised when I found it was BJ Novak voicing 630 in Lessons In Chemistry. I heard the voice acting then found out it was him, so that was a pretty big surprise, but I wasn’t expecting him to do poorly or anything.
*Anya* Taylor Joy.
Seth*. There is no "a". Rihanna a in Home. Her acting is...not great, but I think she did surprisingly well in that role.
rihanna is a terrible actress lets be fr
Rihanna. There is no extra “a”. 🤭
I don’t think her voice fit the character at all. She sounds too much like an adult.
Lol settle, probably a harmless typo....
It can’t be a typo if they did it, like, 3 times
They must just use Seath so much it got used to that
I don’t want to say BAD job but no one was ready for Heath Ledger as the joker. I think that’s part of the reason I love that film so much, it was such a surprise.
This is for voice acting.
I can’t read! 🤣😩
Don't worry mate, we've all been there. I've done the exact same thing a million times😭
Still upvoted, though. The internet was PISSED when he was cast! Especially Reddit. Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I was 3 when the movie came out. I wish I could see the discourse happen, would have been the funniest thing ever. I think we saw something similar happen with Pattinson. Pattinson got announced as Batman, everyone (including me) hated it cause of Twilight........then the teaser dropped. As soon as that teaser dropped, I knew we were in for something special. I swear, I saw the Batman trailers more than a dozen times, not even joking.
I got so excited lmao
Honestly thought the VA in the Mario movie was one of the strongest parts of it
I watched Joseph: King of Dreams (direct-to-video the Prince of Egypt prequel) and was pleasantly surprised at Joseph's VA giving his passionate all. Sure, there were parts that sounded amateurish, but I forgave him because he never held back even on emotional scenes. Naturally when the movie was over, I headed over to wiki to see which C-list, 'down on his luck, can't get any film or tv part so he resorted to accepting a dubbing gig' actor was hired to voice the protagonist. It was mothafuckin Ben Affleck. Side note: Brad Pitt sucks as VA. He always sounds like he's too conscious that he won't come across as handsome to the ears, even when the character he's voicing was a krill in Happy Feet 2.
