** In the case of the Latin American dubbing situation, Miguel Paneke was hired to reprise Stan for season 16 (having voiced the character through seasons 3 to 7). However, Paneke was let go after recording dialogue for three episodes, by [[ExecutiveMeddling order of MTV executives]] who wanted Larry Villanueva (Stan's first voice actor, and voice for seasons 10-15) to return instead. This was especially controversial as Paneke wound up never paid for his recording sessions, and was not warned of the executives' mandate. After MTV failed to get Villanueva back, Orlando Nogeura was cast as Stan and redubbed Paneke's lines. A similar incident happened with Frank Falcón, the original dub actor for Butters, who was brought back to voice his character for the same season. He had also dubbed at least three episodes, but the role was recast with Noguera and Falcón's vocal track went unused.

* This bizarrely happened in a well-known episode of ''[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo The Scooby-Doo Show]]'' from 1977, "Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats." A suspicious bit character named Mr. Drackle was voiced by Creator/CaseyKasem. However, in a version of the episode that appeared on the ''Scooby-Doo's Spookiest Tales'' VHS, he is instead voiced by Frank Welker. The difference between Kasem's sinister voice and Welker's rather relaxed and straight-forward version (which defeats the purpose of the character) is very jarring. Apparently, the version on the ''Spookiest Tales'' tape is believed to be a [[ObviousBeta workprint version]] that was put on there by mistake, and it features various other differences from the real version, which include [[OffModel laughably bad animation mistakes]], missing shots, no zooming, different or missing sound effects, no laugh track, unpolished dialogue, and the end result can be an strange experience, especially for those already familiar with the episode. In Mr. Drackle's case, since Casey Kasem was also voicing Shaggy in the same scene, Frank Welker filled in during the recording sessions (which were done as a group) since he wasn't voicing any other characters in the scene. This explains the lack of "performance" behind his voice. Kasem later came back and recorded the Mr. Drackle dialogue, but it's Welker's version that's on the workprint. Fortunately, the finished version is on iTunes and can be seen in DVD releases.

** "It's a Trap" was to have Paul Reubens himself voice [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse Pee-wee Herman]] in a cameo. According to Creator/SethMacFarlane, the results weren't what the stafg wanted so [=MacFarlane=] dubbed over the lines with his voice.

* The "Time for Timer" cutaway gag in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Petarded" was originally supposed to have Timer's voice actor Lennie Weinrib reprise his role, but Seth [=MacFarlane=] ended up voicing him instead because Weinrib was very ill at the time and didn't remember recording his lines when they were played back to him. Weinrib had retired from voice acting at the time and ended up dying about a year after "Petarded" aired.

* In a similar example to the ''X-Men'' series, some of the early episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' were redubbed for syndication with Creator/KathSoucie, Buster Jones, and Dave Coulier performing the respective roles of Janine, Winston, and Peter. ''The Time Life'' DVD set has the original versions, also making the redone versions a rare collector curiosity for the fans that would want them.

* In the BritishEnglish dub of ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', Katie's voice actor occasionally changes, such as in Pups Save a Stowaway, where her voice changes at the start. We hear her normal voice later in the episode.

* For the original 1969 broadcast of the classic Christmas special, ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman'', Creator/JuneForay had voiced Karen and all the other children. For the 1970 broadcast, however, an unknown actress, a real child, was brought in to re-record all of Foray's dialogue as Karen. A real boy was also brought in to re-record some of the dialogue of a couple of the young boys. However, much of Foray's dialogue still remains in the current version, as some of her dialogue for some of the additional kids weren't redone, and a couple of her lines as Karen ended up slipping through.[[note]]Such as when she says "Oh no!" off camera when the kids were thinking of a name for their snowman.[[/note]] Foray has no idea why this was done, and the special is still broadcast with the redubbed Karen today. To this day, nobody knows the name of the voice actress brought in for the role, as the credits weren't modified to include her.

* Creator/BrianDrummond was originally going to voice Cyclops in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' and even recorded his dialogue for the first episode, but the role was eventually recast to Creator/KirbyMorrow leading to to everything being re-recorded.

** In another example of last-minute recasting, Lord Stingray was initially to be played by Chris [=McCulloch=] (a.k.a. Jackson Publick). Due to the character's color scheme and voice being too similar to [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Monarch]] (although in actuality he was meant to parody Cobra Commander), Adult Swim told the crew to pick a different voice actor. Eric Bauza was then cast in the role, and re-recorded all of [=McCulloch=]'s lines. The animatic reel featuring [=McCulloch=]'s take on the character has yet to ever be made public.

* Averted in a [[LampshadeHanging deliberately conspicuous]] fashion by the ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' episode "Pilot Expanded", which takes footage from the show's pilot and adds in a FramingDevice and one extra scene. This included ''keeping'' the voice work Creator/JasonMarsden did in the pilot as Sumo and Belson, even though they were recast in the series as Creator/TomKenny and Creator/RogerCraigSmith. Kenny still voice Sumo in the added scenes (Smirth did not do the same because Belson was not in said scenes).

* Ryan O'Donohue was originally cast as the voice of Gus Griswald in ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', and had recorded for Gus's debut episode, "The New Kid". However, he was re-cast, and Courtland Mead dubbed over his lines for the broadcast version. Ryan O'Donohue continued to voice Randall and Dave, among other characters.

** In "Some Enchanted Evening",[[note]]the one with The Babysitter Bandit and is an OldShame for everyone who worked on the older episodes, including series creator Creator/MattGroening, who nearly cancelled the show due to the lousy animation[[/note]] Christopher Collins (best known as Chris Latta of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' fame), besides voicing a TV host, recorded Moe's lines before the episode underwent last minute revisions and the voice was dubbed over by Creator/HankAzaria, who assumed the part from that point on. Collins also was [[TheOtherDarrin the original voice of Mr. Burns]] in the episode "Homer's Odyssey", which was Burns' first appearance in production order but not broadcast order. In broadcast order,[[note]]and depending on how much of a ''Simpsons'' geek/purist you are[[/note]] it's either the ChristmasEpisode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"[[note]]which was a one-shot special that doesn't really count as a regular episode[[/note]] or "There's No Disgrace Like Homer"[[note]]the one where Homer puts the family in therapy after Marge gets drunk and Bart and Lisa wreak havoc at his boss's picnic.[[/note]] Collins had recorded for a few episodes as Burns, but was replaced and redubbed with Creator/HarryShearer (as Collins had a falling-out with James L. Brooks and the Simpsons production also conflicted with his stand-up comedy).

** Dana Hill was originally cast as Nelson Muntz and she participated in the read-through for his debut episode, "Bart the General." Hill failed to appear for the recording session, so the part was quickly reassigned to Nancy Cartwright, who has played him ever since.

** Karri Turner was originally supposed to be the lead voice actress for ''South Park'' and appeared in the unaired pilot as Wendy, Ms. Crabtree, and the other female characters. She wound up replaced by Mary Kay Bergman in the series proper, as the creators felt her voice wasn't distinct enough. Interestingly, the first choice before Turner was Creator/NancyCartwright, who refused to work on the show due to its crude content. This may have been for the best, given what happened with fellow Scientologist Isaac Hayes (the voice actor of Chef) after "Trapped in the Closet".

* In the first produced episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', "Some Enchanted Evening",[[note]]the one with The Babysitter Bandit and is an OldShame for everyone who worked on the older episodes, including series creator Creator/MattGroening, who nearly cancelled the show due to the lousy animation[[/note]] Christopher Collins (best known as Chris Latta of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' fame), besides voicing a TV host, recorded Moe's lines before the episode underwent last minute revisions and the voice was dubbed over by Creator/HankAzaria, who assumed the part from that point on.

* In ''WesternAnimation/XMen,'' Storm's voice actor changed from Iona Morris to Allison Sealy-Smith for the second season onwards.[[note]] The entire rest of the show was recorded in Toronto while Morris recorded in New York before it was decided it was easier to just cast another actress in Toronto.[[/note]] The season one episodes were redone so Sealy-Smith was heard in reruns. However, the DVD releases and Hulu have Morris, making the versions of those episodes with Sealy-Smith as [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes hard to get your hands on]] as Morris' versions once were. If you [[OneHundredPercentCompletion don't feel like you have the whole series]] without having both versions, your work's cut out for you.

* A very controversial one happened in ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''. Creator/JoshKeaton had originally reprised his role from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' as Spider-Man himself for the episodes "Along Came a Spider" and "New Avengers", plus the series finale, but then it was decided to have Creator/DrakeBell, who voices the character on ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'', redub the lines. Between this, Music/GreyDeLisle reprising the role of Betty Brant, and what little lines he had as a cop, evidence also points to Creator/DaranNorris, Keaton and [=DeLisle=]'s costar on ''Spectacular'', also having reprised his role as J. Jonah Jameson and similarly being redubbed with Creator/JKSimmons, who played the character in the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Sam Raimi films]] and on ''Ultimate''.

* ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' originally premiered with a TV movie entitled ''The Adventure Begins'', with Tim Allen reprising his role as Buzz from the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' movies. When the movie was edited into syndication as a multi-part episode, Creator/PatrickWarburton, who voiced Buzz in the regular episodes, dubbed over Allen's dialogue.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': Creator/PatrickStewart did the original opening narration for the movie, but ended up being replaced by Edward Ivory, the voice of Santa. Stewart's narration, however, did make it onto the movie's soundtrack album.

* Creator/BrianDrummond was originally going to voice Cyclops in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' and even recorded his dialogue for the first episode, but the role was eventually recast to Creator/KirbyMorrow leading to to everything being re-recorded.
