Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation:
“The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”
He's right. Theres a whole legion of adults now who can't even write an email without a machine helping them pick the tone and word choice. Wake up people this is not who you wanted to be lmao
The movie itself is great but bar none the most insane part of this is that they built THIRTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET of this place with very little CG. Like in a world dominated by "eh well just do it in post", the fact they BUILT this astonishes me
