they're not gonna totally rape the looney tunes after all :o

What's weird about most of these cartoon voice actors is that they have a startling lack of versatility (unless you count accents).

For example: Billy West's Fry sounds exactly like his Stimpy. If you watch Futurama with your eyes closed, it makes for a funny mental picture.

Cowboys Of Moo Mesa was horrible, but for some odd reason everytime I see it mentioned I can remember the theme song.

I really like Tony Jay, but I think he was a baaaad choice for Magneto in X-Men Legends...I keep thinking of Megabyte from reboot

There's also Scott McNeil, who was in a lot of stuff. But then he started doing mainly anime.

Billy West also voiced Farnsworth and Zoidberg, though. That right there is a perfect counterpoint to your comment. He is quite versatile, and with his resume, it's hard NOT to have a voice or two that end up overlapping in similarities.

How many voices can YOU do that don't result in your killing your throat by doing on a regular basis?

he also did nixon :o

aroo

Billy West is an extremely talented voice-over. He has helped make Zoidberg one of the greatest fictional characters ever created.

OK, I admit I stand corrected, but looking at the basics, Fry and Stimpy are lead characters, and the lead characters he voices do sound alike.

Doug, for example.

I was thinking more like Virgil from Mighty Max, but that also means I agree with you. It's a bit bizarre to hear the owl from Mighty Max threatening to destroy the X-Men.

About that pig one mentioned earlier, did the pigs fight in medieval times too? I remember an SNES game based on that.

[the_dudefather]

its wierd how tony jay plays a good 'narrator' or disembodied voice role

soul reaver - elder god (mostly in the form of a disembodied voice)
time bandits - disembodied floaty head thing
hey arnold - disembodied voice
etc...

Going through those lists made me think about all the old cartoons I used to watch as a little kid. Sniff...


Usagi Yojimbo versus Bucky O'Hare. WHO WOULD WIN??

[ItalianStereotype]
