NEWS: Joshua Seth, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, More Return for Digimon Adventure tri. Film's English Dub

And it's not like Laura Jill Miller reitired, UGH! She's sitll active!
I liked the old theme song better too.

I'm still really upset about the loss of Kari's voice actor though. She had such a distinctive voice that no one will be able to replace. But so did Joshua and Colleen, so at least we have a few victories!

Lara's working for Disney right now so she's most likely not only too busy to do the role but her contract would make it difficult for the dubbing companies to work with her. Both Matt and Joe's VAs are retired like Tai's and, like mentioned before, either had busy schedules and/or weren't easy to get. There can be a lot of factors that go into trying to get VAs back and it's not always cut and dry.

The hero returns Now what was Joe's excuse?

Joe's voice actor retired.

I thought that Joshua Seth retired from the voice acting business to be a magician.

Really should have just added a slight remix to the original rather than this techno crap. That being said, still not happy with JYB being T.K. Especially since 1 I'm tired of his voice and 2 T.K.'s 02 VA is in the freaking movie. Also I see they couldn't get Matt's original VA back either or Kari's. A shame

I'm so excited that Joshua Seth is returning to rephrase his role as Tai now I'm looking forward to watching this movie more than ever.

I'm vey happy that they managed to get both Joshua and Colleen, although I was pretty sure that Colleen would have made it since she's still voice acting. I'm surprised Joshua managed because of his current career, but most likely the amount of fan demand was one of the major reasons. It's also possible that out of the VAs who retired, he was the easiest to get a hold of.

Yeah she had a very unique voice, a little soft with a hint of tomboy in it. It is goo that they have managed to get this many back. Though she was one of the ones that is irreplaceable.

So glad Joshua Seth came back but disappointed Kari's voice actress couldn't return.

My only worry really is the soundtrack. I mean, It's not a deal breaker, but this Digimon theme has some weird techno theme going on, while to original song was more upbeat and cheerful. I'm okay with the original anime's English ost, but for the movie's sake, if they had to redo the soundtrack for some confusing licensing issues, I'd just rather them go with something a little closer to the original.

That said, Joshua Seth coming back for Tai was awesome. After him saying he would do it, it would have been a real shame if they got someone else to voice him. Worries gone, I'm aboard the hype train.

Personally I'm happy that the original voice actor for Tai is back. It surprise me how many people dislike the old Digimon dub from Saban when you think a lot of people would defend it due to nostalgia. I mean people will defend the old DBZ dub from Funimation back in 1999-2003 with Bruce Faulconer's music and call it better than the Japanese version. What Funimation did to DBZ back in the old days of Toonami was just as bad as what Saban did with Digimon in my opinion. They both had bad voice acting, corny dialogue, bad censorship and try to Americanize the show to appeal to American kids of the 90's.
