Were the producers and directors trying to get a "two for one" with the voice of Robin Willliams?

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2007)

I watched "Happy Feet" last weekend (3/31/07) and I really liked it. My only critique was not that Robin Williams was used as a voice-over because he does great work but the fact that he was used for two "ethnic" voice overs. I am African-American and as the voice of "Lovelace" he sounded like a "white person trying to sound black" and the same with him doing the voice of "Ramone" and trying to sound Latino. In that respect I found it to be quite insulting and a mockery. Come on guys spend the money and try and get an Eddie Griffin, a Tommy Davidson, an Issac Hayes, a Ron Glass, or a James Avery (Uncle Phil on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". And as for "Ramone" I'll bet you Carlos Mencia, Paul Rodriguez, George Lopez, or maybe even Cheech Marin would have done a bang-up job. I do know that there were some Latino actors used for some of the other minor parts and that rapper "Fat Joe" was also used. Remember, nobody likes a "poser"!
