Hypothetical casting question

Post by Super Sonic » Tue Oct 16, 2007 9:12 pm

Seeing all the posts about different casting and companies made me think of this. Now although two of who I will mention are no longer of this world, if the DBZ cast was made up of only Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, June Foray, Frank Welker, and Jim Cummings, do you think it would've worked, or would've been worse than Funimation's dub?

Well, Frank Welker could play every single animal on the show himself. :P

Didn't Welker actually voice Oozaru Goku back in the 90's Dragon Ball dub?

I don't know. Then again, it sounded like the generic roaring effect you hear in cartoons a lot. Didn't know an actual person did that.

Well, in the words of Bruce Timm...

You realize that #18 has to be Soviet now, right? :P
... I want a magic kidnap-someone's-voice program so we can have samples of what this would be like. XD

Frank Welker using his Dr Claw voice for first form Cell how creepy would that be?

Him using that voice for any major villain would've been creepy. Now I have the image of his high-Gogo voice for Fat Buu and his Fred voice for Krillin.
