I Know That Voice

I consider myself an animation fan, and that I believe, requires me to be a fan of voice actors. This documentary certainly explains the challenges and techniques of being a voice actor. All of today's and many of yesterday's most talented voices are here. They don't disappoint, either. A lot of them perform the voices that most of us are familiar with and that makes this pretty fun. The problem is that many of the actors do their voices but the documentary makers almost never supply an accompanying picture of the character that the actor is performing. This isn't nitpicking because the "impressions" come so fast that your brain doesn't have time to conjure up a visual of the character. It makes the whole documentary feel lazy and that it's really only for those already in the know. Or worse, for the "true" fan boys of animation.
