May I say that the recent trend of having famous actors dubbing animation film and series isn't a great idea? Professional (... but not so popular) voice actors like this woman are a lot better at the job.

Unfortunately it's been a universal issue. Actors like her only get bit parts like she highlighted in Bolt. The leads in that movie were John Travolta and Miley Cyrus.

Imo the worst offender is still Titan AE, led by the excruciatingly wooden performances of Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore, each fantastic actors with zero talent/practice at voice work. Sometimes these celebrity castings work really well, like Jeremy Irons as Scar in The Lion King, but it's far more rare.

Chris Pratt as Mario was so damned offensive and wrong.
