Personally, I could stand listening to Dracula's voice for an hour and a half. In fact, if I didn't know about the film I wouldn't have said it was Sandler.
Looking for some stories?Yeah, that doesn't sound anything like Sandler. It's a pretty dead-on stereotypical Transylvanian accent.

And Sandler can act in general. He just can't write. Or pick good movies.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.And really, the walking tree scene looks even better in HD. It has a lightness and bounce to it that makes it pop.

...Genndy's not doing the voice. He may have given Sandler coaching from hell, but it seems unlikely.
C'mon, you people honestly thought Sandler was just going to use his normal voice? Really?
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.The way some celebrities are cast in animated movies just because of recognition, it wasn't entirely out of the question.

Looking for some stories?Yes, but Sandler does a lot of goofy voices and does them well, no matter how stupid they are in context. It's part of his schtick. Half of the jokes at his expense in Funny People revolved around those damn voices. If damn near any other comedian had been cast, I could see the issue, but Sandler is probably the best non-VA they could've picked.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Now how will everyone else sound? Ya think Ms. Gomez also received a bit of coaching from hell?
I was just asking...

Hell no. Everyone else will probably just use their normal voice.
I said I had faith in Sandler. Never said jack about anyone else.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.So yeah, this is now on my radar.

Except for whatever Smurf movies they have to do, of course...
Looking for some stories?According to Wikipedia they're making a Harold and the Purple Crayon movie.
Half of me is praying they don't screw up and half of me is praying this'll get Crockett Johnson back in the public eye and accumulate interest in a Barnaby movie.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I had my own concept for a CG Harold And The Purple Crayon. So I'm ELATED they're adapting it, but I fear a massive Broken Base from Adaptation Expansion.
I personally am looking forward to how they'll handle the crayon constructs. That sort of thing works well traditionally, but I imagine convincing the audience the constructs are real in CGI will take some serious creativity.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.But still, Barnaby! I'm kind of sad it never became a big hit beyond WWII. It was my introduction to Johnson and I found it a lot more charming than Harold.
Incidentally, before we derail the thread...
