When was the last time actual VAs were in a big financed original animated movie?

Teen Titans Go To The Movies maybe? They replaced Ron Pearlman from the series with Will Arnett, so a celebrity for a more current celebrity. ETA: Kristen Bell is also in it, but most of the cast is the cast from the show.

Space Jam 2 had mostly voice actors except Lola was replaced with Zendaya. There was some controversy over the commercials crediting her, but crediting the rest of the animated characters as their characters not their voice actors.

Colleen O’Shaughnessey was in Sonic 2, but I think that’s just because fans would have been upset if she was replaced after being in the stinger in the first one. They made sure that wouldn’t happen again by having the character that appears in Sonic 2’s stinger stay silent.

According to an animator at Disney, they have some 2D projects in the works.

Yes!

Goldberg said plans for upcoming 2D projects run the gamut from legacy to originals to hybrids, and will include features and series.

Dennis Quaid didn’t just marry a woman 40 years younger, OP, he married a woman who is the same age as his son.

As much as I like Lucy and Gabrielle I don’t think I’ll be watching this.

Raya did pretty well given the circumstances?

[mslmao]

Lmao Raya AND Big Hero 6? Those movies that deserved better than the director and Disney?? Raya did lead to the ultimate collaborative dragging and networking manifesto on Xiran Jay Zhao’s channel tho.

I put that 4 hour long essay on to go to sleep to because I love hearing it. Damn, Raya was such a bummer.
