"The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday" (Netflix) News & Discussion (Spoilers)

[RoyalRubble]

The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, an animated special, prequel to DreamWorks' The Bad Guys, premieres on Netflix November 30.

Synopsis: In this new adventure set before the events of the feature, there’s nothing the Bad Guys love more than Christmas morning — because while everyone is home opening presents, it’s the perfect time to execute their city-wide holiday heist. But when Christmas is unexpectedly canceled, the Bad Guys must do the unthinkable: reignite the city’s holiday spirit by giving instead of taking.

The special is directed by Emmy winner Bret Haaland (The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, All Hail King Julien), who also serves as executive producer with Katherine Nolfi.

The voice cast features Michael Godere as Wolf, Ezekiel Ajeigbe as Shark, Raul Ceballos as Piranha, Chris Diamantopoulos as Snake, Mallory Low as Tarantula, Zehra Fazal as Tiffany Fluffit, Keith Silverstein as Gary the Shaved Ice Vendor and Kari Wahlgren as DJ Trudy Tude.

Ah yes, the classic Dreamworks animated follow up with a completely new voice cast because there was no way they could get the celebrities back for this .

This is why I think that Hollywood should just cast professional voice actors for these animated films instead of celebrities who can't commit to these roles full time if the studio wants to turn the movie into a franchise.

Not just because they would be easier to contract for future projects. But voice-over professionals would be better in the original roles themselves.

Hollywood's celebrity stunt-casting makes animated films worse. And nobody sees a kids cartoon because a celebrity voices one of the characters. "I was on the fence about the new Scoob reboot, but Zac Efron is in the cast as Fred! Sold!" is something repeatedly said by not a single person in existence ever.
