yeah man. last bastion against celebrity voice casts. the shrek franchise.
but i would like to see a little less of celebrity voicecasting, not because they're bad, but id just like to see more varied voices. i wanna hear the character, not "The Rock" or "Chris Pratt"
Which is fucking HILARIOUS to me
