“Boring and obvious” makes sense to me (he’s such a well-known name associated with a certain type of mythologized/nostalgic Britishness, with decent recognition in the US and other markets)… but I can’t quite tell if you think he was bad casting in other ways.

I think beyond the fact that it's boring and obvious, Fry's persona reads as intrinsically arch and ironic to me in a way that I don't think is right for the character. So the character feels tonally off, and it reinforces the idea that he was cast for no other reason than because he's already well-known and he has the right body type.

I think that might be some preconceptions you have of Fry? I found his performance here to be gentler than some (most) of his other roles.

I found Patton Oswald to stick out far more. He did a great job voice acting, but it was always very much "Patton Oswald the crow named Matthew" and not "this crow named Matthew."

Re: OP

Agreed. Fry worked very well for me in that role, while Patton Oswald really stuck out.

Sounds like a preconception to me. He didn't seem arch and ironic in this role at all. Kind of the opposite actually - very earnest and in awe of everything.

TRUE about Oswald. Honest Trailers called him "Patton Cawswald," lol

Re: OP

He's twee, which is basically arch and ironic dressed up as earnestness
