Re: The Official VA Discussion Thread - Home of David Tennant & Drake Bell Speculation!
I hope they release another round of VA's in the fashion they did a month or so ago.
I'm in the same league as you are. I don't know the amount of cast announcements Square Enix will put out through their press released until the game comes out.
But I'd love to see Square making another announcement for the next set of actors involved in the game such as Mandy Moore, the Big Hero 6 actors, David Gallagher, Kairi's voice actress, Jason Dohring, Willa Hollad, Master Xehanort's new voice actor, etc..
I think a lot of people are judging Rapunzel's voice on the movie, which was 8 years ago. Voices do change over time, and characters and people evolve so sometimes it can be tricky.
It's funny how I notice in most of the YouTube comments that most commentators tend to post the same thing when they saw the trailer and its the same old same old: "Mandy last voiced Rapunzel 8 years ago in the film" or "That doesn't sound like Mandy Moore". I find it unusual they continue saying that when in actuality Mandy has been voicing the character in the Disney Princess merchandising, the Disney Infinity games, and of course the TV series.
What about the actors who reprised their roles for the Disney characters from the films in the previous KH games (e.g. Clayton, Tarzan, Aladdin, Jasmine, Mulan, Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, Ariel, Pumbaa, Tron, Stitch, Hercules (KH2 onwards), Megara, Belle, Beast, Victor and Hugo, etc..) especially those that have ONLY voiced that character(s) only once in their initial appearance (e.g. Kathryn Beaumont, Christopher Daniel Barnes)? I don't see anyone making the same comments like what they're doing on Mandy Moore.
