When they started doing celebrities doing voices in cartoons they used to be people who could open a movie without the ip.
Chris Pratt can’t do that. Hollywood misunderstood why Aladdin and Shrek did well and just put a ton of famous people. It was a dumb idea and most have bad voices for cartoons.

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation:
“The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”
