Even though I can understand the purpose, I still think the decision is selfish though. The case has been going on for over a decade and unlike most other companies, Disney actually had the balls to feature a character who had their original voice actor pass away. I would consider that an HONOR to my spouse for getting a chance to debut along side the character and help make him that popular, not a damn disgrace to him/her! Not to mention that King Louie is fan favorite among classic Disney fans and again, few characters have the chance to be accepted like that. Seriously, I don't mind that we can't have King Louie's voice back, but not for a reason as trivial as this.Some may see it as a way to keep the man's spirit alive. He was/is King Louie, and if someone just replaces that, then it may feel like that person has really died, and there's nothing left of them to remember. No one likes to lose a loved one.
Some may see it as a scam to get money, but I think it's the first thing I said.
