Line 7:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' got together most every possible voice actor who worked on the original series to voice the same character in the [[Recut]], both Japanese and English versions. [[Masako Nozawa]] and [[Sean Schemmel]] voice Goku and [[Christopher Sabat]] voices Vegeta. It provided a marked example of [[Vocal Evolution]].
* Inverted in the Japanese version of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', where most of the roles were recast despite only a few years passing after the first anime finished. The English dub, by contrast, uses almost the exact ''same'' cast as [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 adaptation]].
* [[Spike Spencer]] was brought in to reprise his role as Shinji Ikari in the ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' movies, even though he's now a West Coast VA and [[FUNimation]] is located in Texas.
** And [[Tiffany Grant]] still voices Asuka in the second film, though she had already been doing some work for [[FUNimation]] since [[ADV Films]] closed down.
** They also brought Allison Keith-Shipp out of semi-retirement to voice Misato again.
* ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' features a bizarre variation. For the role of Lynn Minmay in their English dub of the show, ADV cast Mari Iijima--''who had voiced the character in the Japanese version more than 20 years prior.''
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* The ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' series managed to have the same actor (John Morris) who played Andy as a kid, adolescent and young adult through all three films, with the third movie being made 11 years after the second movie. The characters grew up in approximate real time, 15 years have passed in real life and Andy aged about 12 years. All of the main characters are also voiced by the same actors, with only one (Slinky) being recast due to Jim Varney's death.
** As with everyone in [[Cars|''Cars 2'']] except for Fillmore, who is given a new voice actor due to the death of [[George Carlin]]; Red, who stopped speaking altogether due to the death of [[Joe Ranft]]; and {{spoiler|[[The Character Died with Him|Doc Hudson]]}}.
* One of the biggest accomplishments of the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' movies was keeping all of the same actors who played various parts in the same role over the course of ''a decade'' and
* [[Jeff Bridges]] reprising the role of Kevin Flynn in ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' after more than 25 years.
* One of the more impressive feats of getting the ''[[Star Trek]]'' movies was all of the original series characters being played by their original actors. Various bit characters played by bit actors also appeared in the movies, such as Yeoman Rand and Lieutenant Kyle.
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
* The Video Game remake of ''[[From Russia with Love]]'' featured, for the first time since ''[[Never Say Never Again]]'', the return of [[Sean Connery]] as James Bond.
* [[Clay Fighter|''Clayfighter 63 1/3'']] brought in many well-known voice actors like [[Jim Cummings]], [[Rob Paulsen]], [[Charlie Adler]] and [[Frank Welker]]. Ironically, there was one reprisal, and that's by [[Dan Castellaneta]] as [[Earthworm Jim]] from the animated cartoon series
* While the English-language release of ''[[Mafia: Definitive Edition]]'' saw an all-new cast, the Czech dub has most of the voice actors from the 2002 ''Mafia'' game return to reprise their roles.
