The Sound of the Crowd

Does anyone else not buy this?

I love voice performances like Ellen DeGeneres in Finding Nemo and Patrick Warburton in The Emperor’s New Groove, but still I have trouble believing this, and not just because it’s from FOX news. People really go see an animated feature or not because a celebrity does a voice? Really? My animation snob instincts kick in and I think such people don’t deserve to go see an animated feature. I want people to see them because the animation is gorgeous, or the film looks funny (preferably both), and so on. Also I don’t like this because it looks like a variation of legendary Hollywood attitude that only the stars matter and nothing else–like oh, say, writers.
