I love capitalism too, Loryn, and if the studios want to pay them that much money for just their voices for ONE WEEK, I say all the power to them and not say no. But once again, do you watch "The Simpsons" because of the 'stars' behind the characters voices? My point is, they aren't even stars.....they are basically or were nobodies, and yet the show is the most successfull animated tv show ever.......and consistenly so year after year.

Whether its Mike Myers or someone unknown doing the voice of Shrek, wouldn't matter to me. I love capitalism so much I'd save on the cost of paying ridiculous salaries to these stars and hire some unknown acting hacks, that would be just as talented and the audience would never see, and make them hole up in the studio and absolutely nail their parts. The difference I'd put into serious production values. You'd end up with a superior product with less cost, and I think just as much appeal as before to audiences. For instance, I told some ppl I know that loved "Finding Nemo" that Albert Brooks had the lead voice. Their answer? Who the fuck is Albert Brooks? And "Nemo" made the most money ever for a cartoon and most ppl that see it don't even really know who Brooks is.
