No recent animated full-length film beyond "Despicable Me 2" features the voice of Al Pacino and I don't know why!

In terms of voice acting, the great Al Pacino is sadly shunned. The Godfather video games didn't include his voice due to legal reasons and André Sogliuzzo replaced him in the Scarface video game for some reason. To make matters worse, Al Pacino's animation debut was ruined when Benjamin Bratt replaced him as Eduardo/El Macho in Despicable Me 2. No animated full-length film beyond the said one featured Al Pacino's voice. I cannot imagine the voice acting scene without him. At this moment, I wonder. I know that he did a voice for a PSA commercial, but why the animated works avoid to cast the great Al Pacino?

He is likely pretty expensive, they got a sound alike in the God Father game and hired Benjamin Bratt for Despicable Me 2 to save some cash, IMO.

I also think he has been phoning it in recently, I was watching that Amazon show Hunters, the first TV show he worked on and he was not good in that. Not to take away from his previous work, but he has not impressed me recently.

Michael Corleone also looks completely different in The Godfather game(s) because Pacino gave his “likeness” away to the Scarface game at the time. Despite not actually voicing Tony Montana either.

I think they cited even back then that Pacino was getting too raspy for those characters.

I think al pacino is too expensive to be in animated films, plus having him as a voice actor could cause some dispute, remember when al Pacino left despicable me 2 due to creative differences?

Probably too busy doing Dunkaccino commercials.
