Weird to cast Sonic and Knuckles with new actors but keep game Tails but sure.

Tails’ current game VA will indeed be reprising her role in the second Sonic movie:

This is great news! I would not be shocked if they originally planned on hiring someone else, but there was too much loud support for her to stay the voice after she showed up in the credits and Tyson Hesse gave a nod to the executives and they were too scared of his power to say no

I think if Knuckles had showed up in the end credits voiced by his game actor there'd have been a similar thing. If Tails hadn't showed up I think they would've just gone with a new VA for him because there wouldn't have been a precedent set

Travis Willingham regrettably no longer plays Knuckles for some reason, they replaced him with another guy I forget the name of as of Team Sonic Racing.

Plus, Colleen’s been in the voice acting business for a little while herself and is probably cheaper than any big name star they could have gotten (also I’m not really sure who else could be a decent fit for him come to think of it)

Oh yeah, there another movie coming out. That's what the game awards thing will be, won't it? In which case we should also get to see/hear Knuckles, which would be neat.

Idris Elba will likely just play him as Idris Elba (which to be fair wouldn’t exactly be a bad fit for the character honestly) but yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got our first trailer for this pretty soon now.

Yeah, an additional factor is that Tails' voice sits in the range where a non-voice big name actor couldn't just use their own voice or a bit different, so you'd need a proper voice actor.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

They’ve been making a big funk the past couple months every time Chris Pratt gets announced as the Hollywood voice of a character, so maybe its just vitriol towards the guy spewing under the banner of the “HIRE ACTUAL VOICE ACTORS” crowd. :v:

Detective No. 27

The comment was more directed at Chris Pratt backlash. Chris Pratt sucks rear end so I'm not defending him or his casting, but the rest of the Mario casting ranges from good to inspired. Internet always gets flooded with people lament that never hire real voice actors for animated films and always opt for a Hollywood flavor of the month (something they've been doing for over half a century).

I guess the post is mistimed or misplaced but yeah, none of those comments happened when Elba's casting was announced. (A sublime choice.)

Yeah. I've been catching up on Young Justice and while there's no issues with the voice acting it's super obvious that 75% of the cast is Troy Baker, Nolan North, Phil LaMar, and Tara Strong.

Phil LaMarr has a lot of range, tbf. I was rewatching Avatar recently and I noticed a bunch of guest voices like Rene Auberjonois, Kevin Michael Richardson and James Hong. Phil slipped right by me.

He's a very talented voice actor. I rewatched Justice League and JLU recently and it's funny how sometimes two or three characters are talking to each other and they're all voiced by him.

Ngl watching an otherwise excellent foreign animated feature where they've filled the dub cast with british comedians who don't know how to voiceact even a little is really frustrating, but I'm willling to give Idris Elba a chance here, seems like a good fit for the character who just like every sonic character is cannonically a cockney anyway if you read STC.

That’s the guy, not quite as good in my opinion. Speaking of, any idea why Travis left in the first place?

I believe Amy’s VA said she was leaving a while back as well so we’ll probably get a new actress for her if she shows up in Frontiers

Digging Eggman's raincoat, the traditional Robotnik design didn't really translate well to Carrey's gangly form at the end of the first movie, so he needed bulking out a bit.
