Horrible miscast voice-acting?
I'm watching Tarzan and having a big issue w/ Rosie O'Donnell.. Both the voicing and the way they draw her character to resemble her (that in general bothers me).
Got others?

I didn't really have a problem with O'Donnell...but I am getting tired of Patrick Warburton, who seems to be a voice in every. freakin. animated. movie.

Although it still worked great I always thought that Michelle Pfeifer and Catherine Zeta Jones should have switched characters in the Sinbad cartoon.

Just about everyone in Heavy Metal 2000. Halfway through the movie, I just switched to the french audio track. Much more tolerable.

That was too obvious to pick on.

There are certain times where I don't care for Adam West's voice in The Batman: animated series. If it were to be a film(s), I wasn't too keen on some of the early Miyazaki films dubbed in english.

I'm beyond sick of "names" being cast in animated features. My former roommate would love sitting and trying to pick out the actor behind the voice, while I was more interested in enjoying the character. As a former radio guy who would love to do voice acting, I am dismayed that these people don't know how to voice act and that there aren't better coaches to teach them.

I'm in Radio and I know lotsa folks who do voicework and I remember one friend telling me around 5 or 6 years ago that there was a time when big name actors considered voicework beneath them. But that has changed and you're having to compete with huge names to get voice work even for commercials where you never see the star or any credits that say who the vox belongs to.
Voice work can be great if you nail it. I mean you can set up a studio at home, send your voice all over creation, and get paid BIG BUCKS to do just a few hours of work. Video games are seeing a huge bump in Big name talent and the need for talented voices for supporting characters. Even on imdb.com you see lots of actors who do almost nothing but Video games with animation work sprinkled in.
