The premise sounds exactly like this season of The Venture Bros., in which The Monarch must find an arch-rival to replace Dr. Venture.

As much as I love Robert Downey Jr and Tina Fey, I’d rather see this with folks like Billy West and Tress Macneille.

I agree for the most part about voiceovers and professionals BUT you can’t teach comedic timing. I think it’s something your born with. So if you are going for a specific style of comedic timing (which RD Jr and TF both have very distinct and different styles of) then you have to go with that actor. Just my opinion.

Oh yeah and you can put their name on the poster!

Fey is very funny and 30 Rock is hilarious.

I’d really like to see more professional voice actors get the jobs as well. There’s been a few celebrities who’ve really lent themselves to their roles and gave the animators lots to work with, but the rest of them rarely ever have a distinct style of voice that needs to be heard in an animated film. It’s mostly just an excuse to put another famous name on the movie poster and lure stupid people in, in spite all of those years of classic animated films where no one ever gave a crap about a celebrity voices.

Yes to Downey. Not a big fan of Fey.
