Not sure if this counts, but Michael Dobson as Rem in the second Death Note movie. I mean, yeah, Rem was male in Japanese, but did THAT have to get dubbed in?

Breckin Meyer as Joseph (King of the Hill): Joseph wasn't very interesting anymore after they made him older (and yes, I DO know the REAL reason that was done).
 
There are some recastings that are either good or decent, but others that are either awful or don?t suit the character. Which replacement voice actors didn?t you like?
Some I didn?t like were Maggie Roswell?s characters on The Simpsons, when they were voiced by Marcia Mitzman-Gaven. I can tolerate her Maude, but her Helen Lovejoy and Miss Hoover are really bad. I don?t like either Tress McNeille?s Lunchlady Doris.
And then, there?s FUNimation?s redubbed Maron on Dragon Ball Z. She was decent in their original dub, and there was no reason to replace her on the new DVD sets.
 
Well, the first one that comes to mind is Jeff Glen Bennett as Yosemite Sam in Looney Tunes: Back in Action. He completely loses the character whenever he yells, and of course, Sam yells a lot.

Seems like ever since Mel Blanc's death, it's been hard for anyone to do Sam as well as he did. Maurice LaMarche actually does the voice very well, but he says it always wrecks his throat for days afterwards, so he doesn't do it much.
 
do you have proof of that, because in like yugioh bakura and joey have those accents because they were told to by 4kids producers or director. Wayne Grayson and Ed Paul talk about it on youtube somewhere.

but I really liked Sam Reigal as Tristen in begining of yugioh. John Cambell has grown on me though. Also who was James and Meowth in early first season of pokemon, I liked their voice too more menacing.
 
I know it's been bludgeoned to death, but George Newburn taking over from Tim Daly as Superman for JL/JLU. I know it was necessary because of Daly's commitment to The Fugitive and I know Newburn improved, but I always liked Daly better.

Also, John Swasey taking over from Tristan MacAvery for Gendou Ikari in the EVA Director's Cut episodes; terrible, absolutely terrible.
 
One I just remember watching an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures the other night...Valmont's VA change in the 3rd Season I believe? His replacement made him sound a bit too whiney, and it just didn't click with me.
 
I read an interview an old Pokemon site did with Eric a few years back. One day he decided to do things with the voice and the producer liked what he did, so they decided to keep it.

Also, I can easily ask Eric questions through Myspace at any time I want. I could ask him about this to make sure, however he's very busy and I don't wish to bother him.
 
Jennifer Lien being replaced by Jennifer Martin as the voice of Elle in the last season of Men In Black: The Series. Lien's voice was cool, breathy, and downright sexy, but Martin's voice was too...I dunno, excitable. :shrug:
 
The replacement VAs for Raphael, Donatello, Shredder, Krang, & Bebop during TMNT Season 3. Luckily Rob Paulsen, James Avery, and the others were only replaced temporarily because I don't think I could stomach those VAs for the whole series.
