ok you took it to far the scoob cast was incredible and made the movie even more entertaining than the original cartoons!
You need to do a top 10 list of voice actors who unintentionally stole the show, like James Woods in Hercules
Your last pick for number 1. Oy was that bad! 👎
Not to mention cast of the Lorax, Norm of the north, and the emoji movie the rest of the movie were bad the 4 I said were not! Your officially on my list.
What about Adam Sandler as Davey and Whitey, it had to be the worst voice actings I’ve ever seen, Davey is Just Annoying and Whitey is extremely grating af but at least Sandler went on to do a far better voice acting performance in Sony’s Hotel Transylvania as Count Dracula (Drac) from 2011-2018. But This! This god awful animated holiday movie from 2002 was a bad start for Adam Sandler in his first foray into voice acting, in a Shitty Happy Madison movie that has one of the most beautiful (-ly wasted) animation that happens to be sadly wasted in every way.
James Corden has the tendencies to be the worst part of anything.
True
what about trolls
He was good in “Trolls” and “Trolls: World Tour”
And the Peter Rabbit movies
He was alright in Doctor Who
Being a good actor does not make you a good voice actor. It is totally different. We should honor our voice actors more than we do.
There are a few actors that can surprisingly be good voice actors like the late Gilbert Gottfried and Brad Garrett.
I've always wondered how notable great actors suck at voice acting; but I can't seem to ever find any videos on the subject. How is it possible to be good at acting but suck at Voice Acting; it would seem they would fall hand-in-hand, since you'd NEED to know how to act in order to Voice Act properly too, right?
I think we should owe voice actors like Yuri Lowenthal and James Arnold Taylor a lot more respect than we already do, especially after watching this video.
I think there should be an Oscar for Best Voice Performance.
@@nickcopeland6915AGREED!
"Father, when can I leave to be on my own, I got the whole world to see" That line will never get old
DUSSY
He sounds like a angsty teen who’d rather be anywhere else
"Given Corden's experience in comedy."
Now that's funnier than anything he's done.
Oh dear i know, he is as funny as a migraine following a headache.
Quit being a hater
If you don't like his comedy, fine. But don't try to discredit someone
@@darealkay7517 He fecking sucks. Funerals are funnier than him..
@@darealkay7517 Quit being motivated by butt hurt.
@@MrPapageorgiosorry but if that's being butthurt.... We have no comment.
If you were to look up a list of the 10 worst films of the last 20 years, there's a serious chance that James Corden is in at least 6 of them.
This checks out
Are you implying it’s his fault or is James just REALLY unlucky with his movie castings
%his statement is so true
@@Joey7Z7Horror Corden sux.. He is seriously not funny and not an actor..
@@Joey7Z7Horror more of the latter.
Putting the whole cast of _Scoob!_ on here feels so wrong. Frank Welker is amazing as always. Will Forte and Zac Efron did surprisingly well. The child actors were all great picks. But the MVP is Jason Issacs as Dick Dastardly, who absolutely crushed it.
Absolutely! The movie may not be perfect, but the cast did really well
Yeah, I generally didn’t have an issue with most of the cast the only voice I did not care for was Tracy Morgan’s Captain Caveman.
I liked Amanda Seyfried as Daphne and Gina Rodriguez as Velma in all honesty. I love Grey Griffin, she's a _wonderful_ voice actress, but I enjoy hearing other actresses give it a shot every once in a while. And no disrespect to Kate Micucci but I don't really think she's a good replacement for Mindy Cohn as Velma. Everytime I hear Kate Micucci as Velma I just hear Webby from _Ducktales._ She's _not bad,_ she just sounds too similar.
Hearing Frank make Scooby’s voice sound more clearer feels so bleak.
Zac Efron as Freddy was one of the choices in Scoob I did agree with. Particularly when he gets a trap sprung on him
I thought Taylor Swift did fine on the girl character and so did Nicholas Cage as the professor
Taylor Swift shouldn't have been on this list. IMO
😬
The majority of actors who try voice acting are terrible. I am so tired of hollywood hiring big names for recognition over talent.
I don’t think Billy Bob Thorthon was particularly bad in Princess Mononoke. I honestly think his performance fits the character of Jigo quite well.
To be honest, I never focused so much on that part. I thought he was fine and didn't detract from any scenes, even though he is not on the same level as Billy Crudup, Claire Danes and especially Minnie Driver.
I also disagree with 2:33 this part of the video.
Hating the entire Cast of SCOOB! makes NO sense at all.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 it because they don’t fit the characters well.
@@dwainsimmons3447 What makes you think that?
Fun fact: a writer of Toy Story was in Norm of the North sequels. Yes, there are sequels.
Why are there sequels?
@@theklok1420 I dunno. They seem to be more pleasant than the original while being the same as bad
@@Gvair22 Well... now I know the next series of movies my friends and I are gonna bash to the ground. Only downside is that our eyes will burn and our braincells will probs die slowly and painfully.
@@theklok1420 certainly
the Whole Cast of Scoob! wasn't that bad and Taylor Swift voicing Audrey in the Lorax is very decent in my opinion!
Taylor Swift did an amazing job in The Lorax. IMO. They should've gotten Frank Welker to not only play Scooby. He should've played Fred as well. Also, they should've had Matthew Lillard play Shaggy, Grey DeLisle play Daphne, & B.J. Ward play Valma. Don't get me wrong, the actors who voiced the Scooby-Doo gang did good, I just prefer the ones who voiced them in the shows & cartoon movies now.
You're not alone with this one
Of course they are much better than others
@@Gvair22 True
Yeah I agree she wasn't bad
I mean Nicholas Cage and Dr Tenma actually wasn't that bad, it felt pretty good considering the source material and how Tenma ended up in the comics
I didn't know Nicole Cage voice Dr Tenma in the movie Astro boy or maybe because I didn't watch the movie
It was soooo bland
I regret watching that. I'd rather watch the anime instead...
Pretty sure that Charlie Sheen and Christopher Lloyd knew that Foodfight was gonna suck, They didn't have to care
But at least Christopher Lloyd was like, "Go hard or go home." Sheen's performance says, "I'm here to make a child support payment."
At least they tried their best with what they were givien
No way man, Titan AE is underrated.
Titan AE may not have been a perfect movie, but it was still made by Don Bluth, a legendary 2D hand drawn animator. And let me tell you, I would rather have his 2D animation around today than all the 3D and live action remakes we get now.
Titan ae should not be on this list
Adam Sandler as Whitey from Eight Crazy Nights at least deserves a mention. I’m baffled that he used a high pitched voice for an old man that’s it’s absolutely hilarious to me.
Didn’t except to see you here
At least he made it up in Hotel Transylvania
That would’ve made more sense to put on the list instead of Billy Bob Thornton for his voice performance as Jigo the English dub of Princess Monoke.
sandler did a great job voicing the character his voice was just anoying but the character voice was unique using
I think that was on purpose.
This list is like 'The Room' of voice acting.
“You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!”
I remember seeing Food Fight as a kid and feeling creeped out by the CGI, mostly from that guy in the grocery store scene
Same here
@@boy2savege17 I didn't watch it. But now, I'm please for not doing it. Same problem was with Norm and emojis. I wanted to go on them, but my family either couldn't buy tickets or decided to choose something else. And I'm also thanked for it too.
Its surprising how well James Corden and worst go hand in hand so often💀
I thought he was good as Percy in Smallfoot, but that was before I really even knew it was him.
2:37 is still better than Mindy Kaling
Taylor swift didn’t seem that bad to me?
Same with the 2:33 Voice Cast of SCOOB!, too
how about top 10 underrated voice acting
10. Will Ferrell as ted (curious George)
9. John Hurt as the horned king (the black cauldron)
8. Mark Rylance as the BFG (the BFG)
7. Richard Ayoade as professor marmalade (the bad guys)
6. Mel Gibson as rocky (chicken run)
5. John Cena as Ferdinand (Ferdinand)
4. Jim Carrey as Horton (Horton hears a who)
3. Liam Neeson as aslan (Narnia)
2. Owen Wilson as lightning Mcqueen (cars)
1. Simon Pegg as Buck (ice age)
Honestly Cage’s role as Dr.Tenma is one of his best roles for animated movie when I first saw Astro Boy 14 years ago
I still disagree with 2:33 this part of the Video alot.
Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, sounds like every character he's played even Rogen admitted that he wasn't trying.
I would prefer he actually sounds like himself over attempting to do another voice and completely failing.
Didn't know Taylor Swift was the voice actor in that movie. Thought she did a good job.
I thought she did an amazing job.
I can see why Brian Hull hates Pauly Shore's Pinocchio!
And Saberspark
And PhantomStrider.
Forgot these:
- the parents (Caleb and Sophia series)
- Sunshine Goodness (Foodfight)
- Phyllis Diller (Nuttiest Nutcracker)
- Tommy Wiseau (SpaceWorld)
- Jailbreak (Emoji Movie)
Any I missed?
The whole cast (Doogal)
There are more bad castings in animated films. I sense a Part 2 in the future.
James Corden himself in a Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts video - the one with Gordon Ramsay - was asked a question about the animated movies he did. His question was "You've been in Peter Rabbit, Emoji Movie and Trolls. Rank them from best to worst." And he put The Emoji Movie as the worst.
At least he was honest
Same. Thank God I never saw The Emoji Movie!
@@Cornhollo26 Good thing I watched Nostalgia Critic's review on the movie so I can see how bad it is. And it's really bad.
The strange thing is, there’s footage out there of Foodfight’s animation being very good and had an impressive looking trailer. But I believe it was either stolen or burnt down and the makers were pressured to get the movie out and we ended up with well…that.
Yeah the original work was stolen.
Pauly Shore's Pinnochio may be wrongfully cast but it's so entertaining... so bad it's good.
I honestly like Nicolas Cage‘s performance in Astro boy, it is a different take on the character after all.
Same
I haven't seen SCOOB but honestly those two lines you highlighted from Zac Efron we're really good and had character - he just wasnt the same voice you were used to.
me neither, but the WHOLE cast of "Scoob" are perfect!
@@anniebanzon1471 I agree
Dishonorable Mentions:: The Whole Cast (Doogal), Hayden Panettiere As Red (Hoodwinked Too Hood Vs Evil), Kiefer Sutherland As Samson (The Wild), Freddie Prinze Jr As Delgo (Delgo), And Peter Davison As Marmaduke (Marmaduke 2022)
"Oh, you bit me! Oh, you bit my toe! Oh, that's not fair!"
This is a line from an old TV show called Leo the Lion, but the way the actor who plays the gorilla makes this line sound so bland it actually makes me laugh 😂
I’ve never heard of or seen ANY of these movies until I watched this video! I love how accurate this list is!! It guarantees that I’ll NEVER watch anything on it! 😂😂😂
1. The bad acting is only one reason behind this botched dub. The lines and delivery don't even sync up with the lip movements correctly.
leave voice acting to ACTUAL voice actors and not celebs. I feel bad for the REAL talent
The original Scooby Doo cast were Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Heather North, Nicole Jiffe and Don Messick, only Frank is still involved with the franchise and Nicole is retired.
I always get frustrated when celebrities are cast over the original talented actors in blockbuster movies
Do the top 10 worst things D.W. Read has done in Arthur
we get it you want it shut up already
I find it weird that Nicholas Cage couldn’t pull of a mad scientist considering her plays a guy who yells that he has bees in his eyes, also he played spider noir amazingly in into the spider verse so it’s shocking how bland he sounds in the movie
The sad thing I heard is that we got the Emoji movie instead of a Genndy Tartakovsky Popeye movie.
Man studio execs are dumb
I thought taylor did good in the lorax
I did, too.
I still wonder why the US doesn't cast pro voice actors in movies.
There are actors that do amazing as voice actors, but their talent in voice acting doesn't seem to be taken into account as much as their name.
And I bet something like Scooby-doo would get a lot more people to the theaters if they market it as "With the original cast!" or something. They must be much easier to get, even. *Also, people may make fun of anime for whatever their reasons, but if there's one thing they do right that is undeniable is their voice acting.* You'd have a tough time looking for an anime with bad JP voice acting, especially movies. Even the ones people don't like tend to have great VAs. And thankfully, dubbed anime are also done by voice actors.
This is why in Japan seiyuu exist. They are specifically voice actors and still get recognition. Just because you are a good live actor or singer doesn't mean you can voice a character well. Some are successful, but it is still a tough job.
Famous name is not enough to make up for a bad voice acting.
This guy be like
Voice actor: 😕
Voice actor, japan: 😃
@@Dingle-God1987they are sayin how voice actors actually get recognition in Japan
Classic Rob Schneider, doing his best impression of Jar Jar Binks on crack!
Just shows that acting and voice acting are very different. Often, voice actors have no one to play off of and it's hard to get a lively performance sometimes. It's an art to deliver a great performance stuck in a recording studio or looking at a green screen. Not every actor is talented in multiple disciplines.
Oh god the Pinocchio movie voice was weird
I haven't seen it, I do Not think I should 😱
I argree with you.
@@marionneary1128 it was actually really good .
@@Reaperguy67 Hello there Reaper My name is Shannon Neary Marion Neary is My Mother's name 😁
@@marionneary1128 hey there
I liked Nic Cage, The Scoob Gang, Billy Bob, and Taylor Swift. I thought they were alright.
I've always wondered how notable great actors suck at voice acting; but I can't seem to ever find any videos on the subject. How is it possible to be good at acting but suck at Voice Acting; it would seem they would fall hand-in-hand, since you'd NEED to know how to act in order to Voice Act properly too, right?
Well Taylor Swift isn't exactly a professional actress so it wouldn't come as a surprise she made a mediocre voice acting performance. At least Danny DeVito nailed it as the Lorax, to whom he also voiced in Spanish, Italian, German and even Russian 👏.
Apart from 2 of these I've seen (and regretted it), I've never even heard of these!
Amazing video watch mojo of the worst acting in animated movies,fantastic job.
You should do a top ten list of actors who have never done voice acting
I don't know if you guys have done these but I would love to have these countdowns.
1. Top 20 Fictional Bands/Artists In Movies
2. Top 20 Fictional Bands/Artists In TV Shows
Powerline from The Goofy Movie for films, and the Bikini Bottom Matching Band for television shows (maybe not, but that moment with "Sweet Victory" is still one of the best moments in all of television, in my opinion).
The whole cast in Foodfight had terrible voice acting as bad Pauly Shore voice acting was at least he gave us fruity Pinocchio (for the memes).
I'd add Seth Rogan as Donky Kong. It's funny how everyone was worried about Chris Pratt as Mario, and he wasn't the worst VA in the movie.
what is wrong with Seth he did great
He was fine as DK. Cranky, on the other hand…
From what I've heard from the trailers of The Super Mario Bros Movie, I thought Seth did an amazing job as Donkey Kong. IMO.
@@jimbo9208 of course he did great
Some of these can also be blamed on the sound engineers. They gotta adjust things and call out the actors as well.
The directors would be the 3rd on the list to accept blame.
sound? what you here is what was recorded
“Like he was reading from a script”
Umm that’s how it works, doesn’t it ?
You guys really missed and opportunity to include Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong in Mario Movie 2023 on this list. Shame on You! But oh well, there's always next time😏
I think, putting Matt Damon from Titan, AE, and the cast of SCOOB on this list was not a good decision. I’m not saying those movies are perfect but the voice acting wasn’t half bad.
As far as bad voice acting why not mention something like the movie Delgo or Doogal instead of Scoob? The voice acting in those movie is definitely wooden, despite the fact that has some serious talent behind the microphones
Any celebrity voice performance in either of those films would’ve been better choices than Billy Bob Thornton.
When I first saw the poster for the Bobbleheads movie, I watched all of it JUST to see Sigourney Weaver. Cher looks VERY MUCH like a Sigourney Weaver bobblehead in this movie
I somehow enjoyed Titan A.E, The Lorax, The Emoji Movie and Scoob.
I've never seen Pinocchio, but it sounds like Pauly Shore played himself, for better or worse
Funny enough, Tom Kenny was in both that Pinocchio and the amazing one by Guillermo del Toro (as Benito Mussolini, of all people).
I'm quite glad I haven't seen most of these movies and after watching this video, I doubt I ever will.
At least give Titan: AE a chance. That movie may not be perfect, but sure is underrated.
Trust me, you'll not even mind Matt Damon's va.
I just hear. Its the leaning tower of cheeza
Most of these movies were so bad to begin with that it would have been hard to find any redeeming qualities.
Even in live action, Nicholas Cage's voice is pretty dead. His great work is through facial and physical insanity. It's no surprise that he didn't make for a good voice actor. That's true for a lot of actors we adore.
Also, some of the examples here just can't act their way out of a paper bag to begin with like Taylor Swift, Norm MacDonald, and Pauly Shore.
Bobblehead Cher looks like those Junji Ito balloon heads.
8:01 No way this crap is 2012 ! Shrek and Ice age is like early 2000s and this looks lika a video game 😯
The Emoji Movie was not that bad!!
Same with SCOOB!
I personally love that and the Boss Baby
@@AmericaFuckYeah4 Same
Justin Long As Alvin Seville Alvin and The Chipmunks series (2007-2015) how something so terrible became recognized Is beyond me...
I thought Justin was good as Spyro in Skylanders Academy and as Roboto in Masters of the Universe: Revelation. But I hate those chipmunks and their voices with ever fiber of my being. Even Jesse McCartney deserved better, especially after his great performance as Robin/Nightwing in Young Justice and its subsequent seasons.
8. It's still better than the Velma show
I’d like to add Cranky Kong from the Super Mario Bros. movie.
Food fight CGI is seriously worse than a PS1 game
Pauly Shore as Pinocchio was a masterpiece
how
The meme has been long dead
@@jimbo9208 the fact that it was so bad
@@alexfranco1293 no meme is gone so long as someone is loyal to it
Adam Sandler As Davey Stone (Eight Crazy Nights)

Daniel Radcliffe As Rex Dasher (Playmobil: The Movie)
Seth Green As Milo (Mars Needs Moms)

Seth Rogen As Frank (Sausage Party)
Who’s bright idea was it to have Pauly Shore voice Pinocchio?!
2:36 Ruh Roh Lol XD 😅😂
I'm still confused with that one
I haven’t seen Norm of the North, but from the clips you had here it doesn’t seem like Rob Shneider did a bad job. People just like to shit on him because he has made a few bad flicks, so he is an easy target. But from what I heard there, he definitely did not do nearly as bad as everyone else on this list lol
To be honest, when they rank some of these, they don't even show the worst moments from the film or show in question. Many times I have noticed they actually show parts that are actually one of the better parts of the performance. If that was the worst from Cher's little appearance, then honestly all I can say is that really wasn't as bad as I expected. It sounds like a less interested performance, but I've heard far worse.
THE EMOJI MOVIE is underrated. It’s not high art, but it’s not a bad movie either.
it the west movie ever
@@jimbo9208 west movie ever?
I haven't seen The Emoji Movie.
😬
@@CodyFairlessLee yes how is it not
WTF Watchmojo?!???? The whole cast of Scoob is not terrible! I love Jason Issacs as Dick Dastardly, Zac Efron as Fred, Mark Wahlberg as Blue Falcon and even Tracy Morgan as Captain Caveman!
The worst one I heard is probably Justin Timberlake as Arthur in Shrek the 3rd. He was so bland, uninterested and lacked the right amount of heart that the character desperately needed. I'm so glad he got better for Branch in Trolls as he did indeed nail that role.
I agree with you about 2:33 the Voice Cast of SCOOB!
They don't deserve to be picked on.
GREAT VIDEO WATCHMOJO 👍 WORST VOICE ACTING
They made a movie out of bobble heads....? 💀
I think it was an Indian or Malaysian film originally, and then dubbed into English. Though I have no idea if Cher was in the film from the beginning, or if they added that in.
Honestly despite the voice acting I loved the Scoob movie and honestly would probably put it as one of my all time favorite movies
I think it was Pauly Shores' performance in the film was the reason why he was recast for the UK release of Pinocchio a true story
Watchmojo tell me when can I leave to be on my own, I got a whole world to see.....
NOW
Watching the Bobble head scenes made me nauseous 🤢
The constant movement of the head is just distracting and dizzying 🙈
Bruh, Cage did good, you should have replaced that with Roseanne in Home On The Range
nice to see james cordon getting called out
Here’s one.
Martin Scorsese in Shark Tale.
Great director voicing a fish tends to be a problem
He was actually a porcupinefish.
"Father, where can I live on my owwwwnnnn? I have the whole world to see!!!"
What about Awkwafina she was a terrible voice actress in Disney’s Raya, and in Warner Animation’s Storks!
Except for Ms. Tarantula/Webs from the Bad Guys She was Amazing and that’s her only best voice acting in an animated movie to date for a DreamWorks Movie.
Not all of these are bad voice acting. But #1... worst acting EVER.
and what not bad
@@jimbo9208 I watched Astro Boy before, and I didn't think Nick Cage sounded that bad. Same goes for Taylor Swift in the Lorax (though I do agree that it sucked that she didn't get to sing). Zac Efron as Fred in Scoob! sounds decent, even if I've never seen it.
Good Actors Who Wasted Their Time Playing as Bad Characters in Bad Movies
Nicolas Cage As Dr. Tenma Astro Boy and Matt Damon As Cale Tucker Titan A.E. and The Whole Cast Scoob and Billy Bob Thornton As Jigo Princess Mononoke and Taylor Swift As Audrey The Lorax and Rob Schneider As Norm Norm of the North and Cher As Herself Bobbleheads The Movie and James Corden As Hi-5 The Emoji Movie and Charlie Sheen As Dog Detective Food Fight and Pauly Shore As Pinocchio Pinocchio A True Story I ever heard in a movie on TV or on Hulu or on Netflix or on the DVDs
Spoilers: Chris Pratt as Mario is not on this list, and that’s a good thing because his voice was really good.
Shame he’s such a terrible person in real life.
Good. I was worried.
exactly I agree
That was a terrible choice that's the worst Italian accent I've ever heard
@@JMwhocares says who?
You can also mention that James cordon also voiced Peter rabbit, OMG he sucks at voicing!
James Cordon can have an amazing voice like in into the woods and have a bad voice like hi-5
You forgot Pete Davidson as Marmaduke. In fact , his acting was so bad he ended up having a Razzie nomination.
Why would you cast Pauly Shore in anything? Unless you wanted the movie to bomb.
