Somethign that I've noticed that has been happening a lot for certain Disney games, especially Disney Infinity and Kingdom Hearts.

 

So, some of the actors who voice the characters of a Disney or Pixar movie surely loved doing the voice for the characterm but why do they reject voicing over the games of that movie? If Monsters, Inc. really becomes a World in Kingdom Hearts III, I doubt Jonh Goodman will voice him, because he never voiced Sulley in any game. Not even on the Monsters, Inc Scare Island for the PS1 and PS3 and not even for the Disney Infinity. The actor Disney chose to voice him doesn't sound nothing like Jonh Goodman.

 

Jonhy Depp loved doing the roel of Jacp Sparrow, and yet he didn't voice any Jack Sparrow character of any game. At least on KH2 the actor that Square got is very similiar.

 

Most of the original actors that came to voice their character for Disney Infinity are more females than males. Mrs. Incredible and Violet got their original actors back and Violet's actress was a bit old for the role and still sounded the same!

 

Some actors managed to sound exactly liek the original and others.... nope.

 

Why's that? Not even Ralph got hsi original vocie actor for any game he appeared. Jonh Goodman voiced M.U for 2013 and still didn't apepar on Disne yInfinit that came out on the same year.

Simply put, those voice actors are expensive.

 

Simply this. I don't think it would be worth thousands of dollars to hire one actor for just a few lines of dialouge.

The money idea is a sound reason, I just figured maybe the original voice actors in question simply didn't want to dub the video games because they felt it wasn't worth their time/busy schedules/etc.

There are two "cases" . First , the voice actors of the movies simply do not want to voice the characters in the video game . Second , it's probably a matter of finance . It would cost Square Enix,for example , a fortune to have Johnny Depp voice Jack Sparrow in Kingdom Hearts II . 

I agree with all the above basically.  I think they wouldn't get paid enough to take time out of their day to bother with it.  

Working in the industry I can tell you that it simply comes down to how much the actors are willing to accept for their time and effort. Games studios do not have the budget like feature films do to afford the more expensive actors, which is why some Infinity voices are genuine (Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter) and others are not (Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp)
