The key art to the Kongversation's "Dixie Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns HD" episode. Dixie Kong and Donkey Kong look up as they stand at the base of Tiki Tong Tower.
The #Kongversation is back for its 14th season! On the premiere episode, @geekcritique.org and I discuss January's big Donkey Kong Country Returns HD update, which retconned Dixie Kong into the adventure!

When I started playing DK Bananza, I thought the discussions between DK and Pauline during sleepy time reminded me of that one episode of Rugrats where Tommy stays over at Chucky's house. So I recreated that scene in Bananza's style.

The third, actually! Sussman was the original Meowth before Maddie came in around EP32, and while Cathcart took on the role in 2006, he was already writing for Meowth a few years prior via script adaptation (which he did till the tail end of the Ash saga).
Sorry, big Meowth fan here.

I also do them in the styles of Matthew Sussman and Carter Cathcart's Meowths. All are valid in my eyes (and throat)!
I even do some mumbling in the style of Inuko Inuyama.

Donkey Kong shares a tender moment with Pauline as K. Roolβs rotten banana mush begins to dissipate in New Donk City. Screenshot from Donkey Kong Bananza.
I still canβt believe what a near-perfect game Donkey Kong Bananza turned out to be.

They've also said they were weird, which I just believe is a weak descriptor because there's weird shows from all over the world. Most shows out there are weird in their own way.

Cranky Kong using an old-timey "candlestick" phone, talking to King K. Rool on a high-tech (at the time) 1995 cell phone. They are both laughing as they discuss flying pigs and that terrible direction-changing platform.

I'm telling ya, if Flapjack was made in Canada in any capacity, people would take that fact alone and say that's why it was so weird. People who have a shallow outlook on cartoons, that is.

The Conker's Bad Fur Day title screen, with the logo appearing over Conker sitting on the throne in the former Panther King's throne room, surrounded by several of the weirdos from the game. Screenshot from Conker's Bad Fur Day.
Today, Conker's Bad Fur Day turns 25!
It's easy to take for granted if all you've ever known is BFD being the "naughty" game with diarrhea and piss, but having followed it since E3 1997 (as Conker's Quest) and the character's debut in Diddy Kong Racing, it's still surreal that this even happened...

This can be the fault of the actors, the voice director, etc., but I think everyone involved has much more room to grow and learn in their professions here. I'm not only speaking as an actor, but as a viewer who keeps getting taken out of this stylized world by flat line reads/screams, etc.

Watching Tales of TMNT S2, and while it looks amazing, the voice acting can still be distractingly flat (if a character even talks).
I know the Turtles recorded separately, but many other shows do the same, and as a viewer I can't tell. Don't care how it's done, just make it sound good.
