Of course he does, but that's not really my point. I don't think that basing human versions of characters on the ethnicity of the voice actors playing them is some kind of obvious, inarguable, common-sense, inevitable decision that the fandom was always going to choose to go with. To me, if I was thinking about what a human version of the characters in Lion King would look like, I would start from the fact that the characters are African, not by drawing a picture of fucking Matthew Broderick.

To me, when I visualize Po as a human for example, I think of Jack Black. Young Simba to me is young JTT because that's the voice I associate it with. Maybe I'm showing my age, but his voice was very recognizable at the time.

I also have a hard time imagining someone that looks like me, sounding like them, so that's part of it.

Really? If I had to picture a human Po, he'd be Chinese, because...he's a panda in a kung fu movie. Set in fantasy China.

NAYRT but I have a hard time when watching voice-acted things NOT picturing the VA. So I can see where AYRT's coming from.
