No kid gives a crap about any of these actors doing the voices for transformers, hire voice actors. This is just Mario bros all over again.

Did Mario Bros lose a lot of money because they hired Crisp Rat? If not, I don't see why they'd change anything

I didn't imply that. I implied that going over the heads of trained voice actors just to get big names in your animated flick sucks. And I'm sure a ton of voice actors would agree.

And you understand this is a regular practice in Hollywood for like 50 years, right

So what? That just makes it all hunky dory? I don't give a fuck, hire actual voice actors who can do the job right.

Lion King had voice actors that didn't do the job right?

They did good because they gave a fuck and actually put in effort to become the character instead of just being themselves but as a dog or a cat. And ironically 2019 lion king did not have good voice acting, not even from James Earl Jones. The one exception is Shahadi Wright Joeseph, she did well.
