Line 45:
* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', [[Mako]], the voice of Iroh, died when they were just about finished with the second season, and was replaced by Greg Baldwin (and given a touching sendoff in Iroh's [[Day in The Limelight]] episode).
* Between ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3]]'', three-fifths of the main cast got switched out for new ones for unknown reasons, which they kept up through ''[[Super Mario World (animation)|Super Mario World]]''; Mario, originally voiced by Captain Lou Albano, became Walker Boone, Luigi, who was originally Danny Wells, became Tony Rosato (a former cast member of Canada's sketch show ''SCTV'' and the [[Long Runners|long-running]] American sketch show ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''), and Princess Toadstool, originally Jeannie Elias, became Tracey Moore. Toad (John Stocker) and King Koopa (Harvey Atkin) were unchanged.
* In ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'', Arthur was voiced by [[The Monkees|Micky Dolenz]] in the first season, then [[Rob Paulsen]] took over for the rest of the series.
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', minor character Prof. Richard Impossible was voiced by Peter McCulloch in the pilot, [[Stephen Colbert]] in the first two seasons, Chris McCulloch (Jackson Publick) in the third season, and Bill Hader in the fourth season.
** Publick also took over the voice acting duties for Sgt. Hatred in Season 3, who was voiced by Brendon Small during his first appearance, due to the fact that Brendon Small was busy working on ''[[Metalocalypse]]''.
Line 157:
* After [[Charlie Adler]] left ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' partway through Season 3, John Kassir took over as Buster Bunny.
* In the transition from the ''[[Madagascar]]'' films to ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', some of the characters common to both franchises changed voice actors. Two of the three lemurs traded out their celebrity VAs because it would be too expensive to keep them: Danny Jacobs replaced Sacha Baron Cohen as King Julien, and [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] replaced Cedric the Entertainer as Maurice. However, Andy Richter retained his role as Mort
** Kowalski and Private are an interesting inversion of how this trope is normally handled: originally voiced by [[DreamWorks]] staff (animator Chris Miller and editor Chris Knights, respectively), they "upgraded" to professional voice actors [[Jeff Bennett]] and James Patrick Stuart on the series. (Series creator Tom McGrath stayed as Skipper, and [[John Dimaggio]] stayed as Rico.)
* Similarly, for ''[[Kung Fu Panda|Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]]'' most of the voice cast has been replaced with the exceptions of James Hong (Mr. Ping) and [[Lucy Liu]] (Viper).
* ''[[Winx Club]]'': While the current Nick version has had a consistent cast, both the earlier 4Kids and Cinelume English versions had recasts:
Line 167:
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' had two abrupt voice-actor switches early in the series. Jodi Forrest replaced Christine Flowers as Sissi after only four or five episodes, while Matt Gézcy replaced Odd's voice actor after only two or three. One of the more unusual things about this switch is that it is made obvious that the episodes were dubbed out of order -- Forrest and Gézcy's voices are present in the fourth episode, but are back to the old actors in the fifth.
* In ''[[Stripperella]]'', for his first appearance the villain Cheapo was voiced by Jon Lovitz; for the remainder of his appearances he was voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]].
* ''[[Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?]]'' has an unusual example. Robot was "voiced" by a [[Apple Macintosh|MacinTalk Junior]], then for a reason never explained the prodiucers replaced it with a real voice actor for the remainder of the show, even going back and dubbing his voice over the show's old episodes.
** The popular theory is that the series was struggling to catch on with viewers, and some [[Executive Meddling|meddling executives]] tried to blame Jones' unusual voice.
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' had a couple cases of this. Nazz was originally voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain]] for the show's first season, and was replaced by [[Erin Fitzgerald]], the voice of May Kanker, for the show's second season. Fitzgerald left the show after the second season, and she herself was replaced by Jenn Forgie for Season 3 for both characters. The creator of the show was so much in love with Fitzgerald's take on the roles, that he demanded she return for the shows fourth season onwards.
