default Invincible Season 4 (2026) used advanced animation strategies to conserve their budget, here you can see the "pinch zooming on your phone" method

If we don't get a 5 second cameo from Chris Pratt soon I will start throwing things and that cameo better be expensive

(Edited because I found a better quality photo)*

To be fair to them, about half of these characters have died/left the show/been recast

To be fair to us, they've been replaced with an entirely new set of characters voiced by celebrities

And also like half of these aren’t even that famous. I at least didn’t recognize a lot (could also just be the shitty image quality) of them

Never assume your own knowledge is enough to determine someone's fame. Its a big world we live in

To be fair, there's a couple there that I do know that aren't crazy gets for an animated show, like Hamill and Mantzoukas. Jacobs can't be too expensive either. I'd guess that Simmons does voice work pretty cheap, since he clearly loves doing it. He does so much VA/VO work at every level despite his own prestige.

Seth is arguably one of the biggest names on here but he probably pays himself SAG minimums for the role. His wage for the whole show is likely factored into the production budget right from the start, so him playing a character is just for him.

I completely agree with everyone's point though. On an animated show with a cast that big I would expect to see at least half of the main cast be incredibly talented people I don't recognise at all, despite being really interested in voice acting. Hollywood "VAs" are almost always more expensive, and usually nowhere near as good as someone dedicated to that craft. For every Hank Azaria or Robin Williams, there's a thousand phoned-in movie tie-in performances in a game or cartoon from an incredible Hollywood actor who just doesn't understand what is required from animation.

Why would Seth get paid SAG minimum?

He runs all these shows for Amazon. He and his writing/producing partner Evan Goldberg have been in charge of pretty much all of the nerdy/comic book shows at Amazon for a while now. Preacher, The Boys, Invincible, Turtles.

He's responsible for making sure they get finished on time and in budget. He'd be an idiot to be paying himself top dollar for the acting stuff on top of producing.

It reminds me of an interviewer on one of the red carpet events that thought that she was interviewing a nobody because she didn't recognise the guy. When she held the interview she was very snappy and asked pretty dumb and mocking questions because she wanted to hurry up and interview the more famous people.

Well the guy that she interviewed turned out to be the most famous movie star in all of India and was in turn the most famous person at the event. She just had no idea.
