Heard joke once:
Man goes to the doctor. He says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. He says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
The doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. '
Man bursts into tears.
Says, 'But doctorI am Pagliacci. '
Good joke. Everybody laughs. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

You forgot to mention how Robin Williams helped push for better salaries for voice actors! Disney’s Jeffrey Katzenberg lied to Robin Williams about his royalties, and felt betrayed by Disney, but he made amends with Disney once Jeffrey Katzenberg was ousted and started DreamWorks Animation! Williams would never do a Dreamworks film because of Katzenberg, who he consider him an enemy for paying voice actors low salaries!

Which is why subs > dubs every time when it comes to anime. They still have their specialist. I may not know the name of Thorkell's (vinland saga) voice actor, but when he popped up as a videogame character (Adachi) in Like a Dragon i immediately went oh shit that's Thorkell.
Over here in America, we have Chris Pratt as Mario when the actual voice actor for Mario in the games was just a cameo in the film

Im gonna go ahead and pitch a Robin Williams Month for you guys. Pick a character or two per day, give us BTS, back story, and any other tidbits worthy of Mojo.
I don't think changed is the right word. I would go with enhanced. The animation style used for Robin paved the way for recognized actors to actually act the part and then have the animators march their acting.

In memory of Robin Williams, and spiritually this influenced new iconic celebrity voice actors like Josh Gad and most likely others that has become now iconic energetic voice actors including Chris Pratt, Seth Macfarlene, and even James Corden in a sense when giving the right roles (even potentially hand drawn animated characters that can be loved, makes certain sense

I know people will say Mel Blanc and everyone at Hanna Barbera revolutionized the voice-acting industry. However, they were professionals. Robin revolutionized the non-professional voice acting industry, allowing Eddie Murphy and others to take up the mantle. This comment is for people who are confused about the history of the voice acting industry.

Don't forget about Transformers: The Movie 1986. That had A-list actors like Leonard Nimoy, Judd Nelson, Robert Stack, and even Lionel Stander (Rocky's Mickey) and more. I think that is the first all-star animated movie ever made. They did an awesome job, but undoubtedly, Robin Williams took it to a whole new level.

Ten years after he left us, we still remember the happiness Robin gave us over the decades. He had equal parts comedic talents but so much heart in both comedic and dramatic roles. The man was so many voices of my childhood and his work made me smile that it was a massive shock when the news broke he had died

Great video! I think Robin Williams changed a lot of of things but especially the voice acting game. You mentioned Eddie Murphy as Donkey but years before he played Mushu in Mulan and his character is somewhat similar Donkey. The world has been a little darker since he passed

Robin Williams did more than just change the animation game. He touched all of us with his humor, his wit, and his love. We lost a true treasure and no one can fill the hole he left behind. Rest well, Mr. Williams, and find the peace you couldn't during your time here.

Robin Williams was truly a one-of-a-kind, special human being who changed the game of so many genres of TV, film, comedy, etc. Not to mention changing, and enhancing, the lives of so very many people throughout his too short lifetime. He is still loved and missed so much!

Most actors have voices that are unremarkable when it comes to voiceovers. Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Michael Myers have this amazing talent. Many movies use well known actors but the results are average, less well knowns would be better and less costly.

On August 11th of this year will mark 10 years since he has passed away. I can’t believe he has been gone for 10 years already. There will never be another one like him at all. RIP Robin Williams.

Robin Williams was a legend. The fact that he can play a really good guy and also a villain is pretty good. Robin Williams will be missed. There's nobody on Earth that can replace someone like him

RIP Robin Williams, an absolute legend. His comedy and improv skills were just incredible, and bringing that to voice acting truly changed the game forever. And we will forever miss him.
