Rob Paulsen's European Vacation
I am aware why Michael Gough stepped in as Raphael at the end of the series run,but I never heard why Rob Paulsen did not voice Raphael in the European Vacation set of episodes. I appreciate the episodes for the most part except Hal Rayle's voice falls flat when matched with the great one.Has Rob ever addressed why he did not voice Raphael in these episodes? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, Barry wasn't around for some of them too. Anyway, it could've been a situation where he was busy with other things or a scheduling conflict at the time of recording. That's always been my assumption. I know this has happened for Krang, Shredder, Donny/Bebop, and Splinter. The only ones who kept the same voice actors from beginning to end were Leo, Mikey, and April.

Seriously this is the only series I've ever watched that had subbed voices when an actor wasn't "available" to record lines. I've seen people be replaced entirely but never this. It's so weird.

That's a good question and if anyone has a chance to contact Rob would be a good thing to discuss. These episodes seemed like they were rushed to be produced anyways. The best reason is probably the scheduling conflict, since 13 episodes take at least three weeks to record even if they were rushed. The other possible reason was that Rob had an illness, though it seems pretty farfetched that he had one at the time. I heard Rob in one of his podcasts mention that Animaniacs recording sessions began in 1992, which may have been when the European episodes were recorded (though it could have been as early as 1990), since the 1992 background music cues are used throughout that season.

In the 2003 series Greg Carey voiced original character Hun,but in Enter The Dragon part 1 and his small vit in part 2 either Carey was sick or there was a sub voice actor for that appearance. Aside from that I can't think of any in the 2003 cartoon. But yeah, this is one of the few faults of the '87 cartoon, sub voice actors. Bill Martin in Shredder's last seven episodes and Michael Gough did really good even if I do love who they replaced much more. The rest of the voice subs, meh.

The was still Greg Carey. A 4Kids guy on this board said so. A few I can think of for the 2003 cartoon are Leatherhead, Angel, and Silver Sentry. Last edited by Xav; 09-18-2012 at 12:11 AM. |

I was only referring to main characters that were around at the very beginning and Cam voiced Rocksteady/Leo. Leo and Mikey were around for the entire duration and never had an alternate voice actor for their characters.

Inspector Gadget also had subbed voices for Dr. Claw, Brain, and MAD Cat.

Really...Frank Welker missed some episodes of Inspector Gadget? Not seeing it....
I never understood the voice subbing in the FW series. I almost always noticed, even as a kid. The only time I've heard a great explination is when Townsend subbed for a sick Peter Reneday who was out for a while...Towny also had his checks for playing Splinter sent to Peter. Sweet story from the TMNT Rob-cast.

The sub voices are simple
The show has to record the lines to move ahead with production and if the VA was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts, being sick, or whatever, they would quickly use a sub for that particular episode. They would obviously miss pay for that episode too, however they had no intention of firing the actor overall. |

Yes, we "get" why they did it, we really just don't like they did it. There's really no reason that they couldn't just do the record without the missing actor and have them replace their lines at a later date. Were they really so desperate to release TMNT episode that they didn't care about the qualit....oh...I can't even finish, the answer is so obviously "YES!"
