Not only will we have a new voice for 2.5 but it may also mean that Agrabah could return for KH3 with a different Genie voice now!

Yuya Sakaki 5,212 Posted July 21, 2014 I really liked Dan Castellaneta as Genie... but I guess I could give this guy a shot. Peace! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted July 21, 2014 If only they could get Robin Williams. It's not like he's doing anything now that The Crazy Ones got cancelled. 4 Setrex, Nathan Hatton, Cucco and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exiblade7 1,917 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I might notice that change in voice actor for Genie when I watch the recoded cutscenes. Edited July 21, 2014 by Zeldablade7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setrex 1,031 Posted July 21, 2014 He's sounds much closer to Robin's Genie than Dan did so I don't mind. We'll have to see how much more accustomed he is in the role in the Re:coded cinematics I don't mind the voice actor switch to be honest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted July 21, 2014 For some reason I think his voice is a little off. Really? The dude sounds almost perfect to me. Castellaneta always sounded more like Homer Simpson than Genie to me. (Which makes sense) He never really made his voice lighter like how Williams did it in the movie, it was always deeper. I like this guy a little better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just used to the old Genie voice that's all. I think that the old one is better in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoraKH 793 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) For some reason I think his voice is a little off.My thougts too...It's like he is missing something..He sounds like he is bored and his voice is missing a humor tone Edited July 21, 2014 by SoraKH 1 Exiblade7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan Hatton 274 Posted July 23, 2014 For some reason I think his voice is a little off. I agree... he sounds like Zachary Levi (chuck, thor: the dark world). Its missing the fullness in the lower part of genie's voice... eh i'll get used to it 1 Exiblade7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyblader_95 1,410 Posted July 30, 2014 To be honest, Dan Castellaneta makes a better Genie than Robin Williams does, in my opinion ._." Anyway, this guy is just.. too flat : Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
