Nostalgia Critic: My Pet Monster

Back in the 1980's the"My Pet Monster" toyline was a major hit because it
apealed to boys as a monster pet. The makers of the toy decided to cash in on the
success and make a movie out of it, only for some (like the Nostalgia Critic) to
view.

Nostalgia Critic: My Pet Monster Movie

I had no idea the girl did the voice work for Claire in the Resident Evil games.

Good one SJB, I like The Nostalgia Critic too {and really miss the Nostalgia Chick

, and Nella

} even though sometimes he 'puts down' movies that I like.
His reviews are entertaining and informative.

Anyhow I just wanted to comment on how you were surprised that person did voice acting you weren't aware of - and to tell of a couple of other voice acting parts that blew me away when I found out who they really were ...

The boss on Zombie Island {Simone Linoir, Scooby Doo on Zombie Island}

was voiced by Adrienne Barbeau, one of my favorite actresses.
I loved her as 'Billie' in Creepshow ... and so did the crate!

Another voice actor whose name I'm not familiar with, but whose voice most of us have heard is the person who brought us 'Elmo' from Sesame Street

{is it a good idea to microwave this?}

The kicker is that the person who did Elmo's voice is actually this guy, Kevin Clash.

... it still blows me away, how can this big man make that little voice?

And for my last example of unexpected voice actors, 'Mr. Moundshroud' from The Halloween Tree

{the green guy in the back}
was voiced by Leonard Nimoy

Fascinating.

Impressive, I had no idea.

I remember when he put down Twister and Space Jam, but he really made me realize how they
weren't really all that great, and that they were just childhood favorites.

Yeah, neither did I - and that's what makes it so neat when you find out!
Now we know what actors do in their 'off' time, eh?
It isn't all rolling in your limo and lounging by the pool, you know.
{though I'd be bored of both in one day}

Nostalgia is mostly in the mind of the beholder, I find.
Movies and games that I think are great often get poor reviews from my kids, and I'm like:

'Hey, whaddya mean this show is boring? - That's great classic entertainment right there!'
{and they're like 'yawn, snore'}

Oh well, at least I still enjoy it.
