The Globe and Mail takes a very interesting look this morning at celebrity voices in animated feature films, noting that “em>Kung Fu Panda was in production for four years, but Angelina Jolie spent one week on it and got all the press. Few people know who provided the voices for such classic animated movies as Snow White or Bambi, but DreamWorks has its own formula. The company is famous for using high-profile stars to provide character voices and help sell their animated movies, even though lesser-known actors will dub over the voices in different languages around the world. As co-director Mark Osborne explains: “There’s two phases. The discovery phase where anything goes and we ask the actors to ad lib and play in the world of their imaginations – and then when we come back to them with the finished animation, the process is very surgical and not nearly as much fun, when we’ll ask them to do one line precisely.”
