The Other Darrin/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Averted at the last minute on ''[[Futurama]]''. When ''Futurama'' was set to create new episodes for [[Comedy Central]], FOX scared fans by stating that the original voice actors ([[Billy West]], [[Married... with Children|Katey Sagal]], John DiMaggio, [[Lauren Tom]], et al.) would be replaced due to a pay dispute. The pay dispute was settled and the original voice actors continued to do the show.

** Played straight with Robot Santa. On Robot Santa's first episode ("An X-Mas Story"), John Goodman ([[Hey, It's That Guy!|Dan from]] ''Roseanne'' or Linda Tripp on many a Monica Lewinsky-based political sketch on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'') voiced Robot Santa. The second time Robot Santa appeared ("A Tale of Two Santas"), Goodman wasn't available, so John DiMaggio was cast.

* In a cross of this with [[Poor Man's Substitute]], many of the direct-to-video sequels and [[Animated Series]] derived from the Disney feature films have the famous actors being replaced (such as [[Dan Castellaneta]] for [[Robin Williams]] in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''); the one that escaped the most was ''[[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules]]'', which saw all of the original cast but Danny DeVito and Rip Torn returning for the [[Recycled: the Series|spinoff series]].

** A brief in-series example: At one point, Mozenrath's voice actor Jonathan Brandis was unavailable, so he ended up being voiced by Jeff Bennett for one episode. Brandis returned as Mozenrath's voice in subsequent episodes.

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had a couple of cases with this when the cast was re-evaluated after the two original "What a Cartoon!" shorts. This explains why Bubbles, The Mayor, The Narrator, and Ms. Keane changed voice actors after the 2 original cartoon shorts. Most of the other cast members got to keep their roles.

** After the actual series began, Arturo was recast with Tom Kenney after Carlos Alasraqui voiced him in his first appearance.

* The narrator for ''[[The Dreamstone]]'' was Peter Craze in Season 1, he was replaced by Gary Martin afterwards. The replacement is surprisingly similar considering the latter also voices [[Evil Sounds Deep|Zordrak]]. Urpgor's voice actor also changes for the final season.

* ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'' changed the majority of the voice cast of its villains after the first season, probably because the originals were rather high profile and cost more to use.

* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', pretty much any background pony with a speaking role will have different voices each time. One such pony is Rose, or Roseluck, who has had three or four different voice actresses.

** [[Fan Nickname|Bonbon]] is probably better known for this than any other pony. Out of the few speaking lines she has, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhp4JoEVhuc compare how different they are.]

** Aunt May was voiced by Linda Gary for much of the series' run. After her death, Julie Bennett provided her voice for the rest of the show.

* ''[[Hoodwinked|Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil]]'' was a case of two Other Darrins, with [[Anne Hathaway]] (the voice of Red) and Jim Belushi (the Woodsman) replaced by [[Hayden Panettiere]] and Martin Short.
