Donkey Kong Cast pt. 1

Description

This is going to be different from my Zelda casts simply because I'm looking at it differently. While I looked at Zelda as an anime or an epic video game (ala Kingdom Hearts/Dissidia), I'm looking at the Donkey Kong franchise as a cartoon show. The reasons are pretty easy to figure out, really.

Donkey Kong: I have gone through a TON of voice actors when it came to this character. I went through Dan Castellaneta, Fred Tatasciore, even Chris Sabat. But, in the end, I had to go with Richardson. Reason being that, even though he's VERY identifiable in the roles he plays, he can range very well from likeable guy to muscle man if the situation calls for it.

Diddy Kong: This was hard, too, but not as hard as the big monkey himself. I've heard enough of Rob's performances to know he has a track record and, in the end, I chose him as Diddy Kong.

Dixie Kong: Okay, I'm going to be honest here. You can expect a LOT more Futurama actors in this cast. Just a warning. Anyway, Lauren's role of Amy had a perkiness that, I think, suits Dixie really well.

Kiddy Kong: Larry the Titan...do I HAVE to explain Dee's perfection for this role?

Tiny Kong: This is kind of a younger Dixie Kong, so I had to pick a younger actress. Kinda hit that nail on the head, didn't I? Anyway, Tiny has changed a bit in recent years: she looks a good bit more sporty and perky that I think Mae Whitman can nail.

Lanky Kong: Who better to play a character like THIS than a voice acting GOD? Frank has quite the track record. When I go to his section on BehindTheVoiceActors, my computer slows down (true story). Anyway, it's Frank Welker. Need I say more?

Chunky Kong: Fred's all about playing big and strong characters, but I DO think it interesting that he add on to such a character with slow wit and basic stupidity.

Excellent choices! I can totally imagine the voices of Kilowog from Green Lantern and Donatello from the 2012 Ninja Turtles cartoon coming out of DK and Diddy's mouths! And I'm sure Frank Welker can give Lanky Kong the goofy voice he deserves!
