Have you ever disliked any of the turtles for a brief or prolonged period of time?

I disagree. Raphael wasn't the only funny/sarcastic character that Paulsen has voiced. He has also voiced Mighty Max, one of the Animaniacs, Pinky and the Mask. All memorable characters... well Mighty Max not so much.

Feels strange hearing Paulsen voicing Donatello instead of Raphael. Life does take strange turns sometimes, doesn't it?

Feldman was irritating and his voice is probably the antithesis of What Donnie's voice should be but it was clearly a case of getting in a big contemporary star. But as you imply he wasn't the only problem - his performance was average but some of the writing for Don was terrible. I hated the way he was portrayed as Mikey's sidekick rather than as Donnie. He and Mikes have always been close but not in a 'lol we are stoners" manner. SotO rectified things somewhat and the voicing was better but he still seemed too jokey for Don. A great part of that film through is how Donnie is the guy who can't accept that they were essentially an accident. Love his disbelieving scenes with Splinter and Perry in that film.

I don't know about any of Paulsen's other work as I've never followed any of those shows, so apologies for misrepresenting him. But yeah it is strange to hear him voice Donatello - sometimes can be distracting as I almost think I'm listening to Raphael. Life does indeed move in mysterious ways.
