I feel like people will talk more about my hair than my content LOL! Understand that this is telling stories and jokes while trying to make a specific point. Thank you for listening. And yes, I'll be back with that Ninja Turtles news!
I thought you were wearing a hat and didn’t even notice it was your hair! Whoops!
You are brilliant even with some fuzz so don't sweat it. We missed your videos!
DUDE. GOLDAR HAS RETURN FROM POWER RANGERS BEAST
I still waiting on that review on the Rise of the TMNT season 1 finale Andre lol
Andre where yo beard at
"This is all I got, Jokes and Alcohol" needs to be a tshirt and maybe a religion.
This is the mantra of 2020
We shall make a religion based off of this one line!
I get it.
~_~
One voice spoke out. The Black Nerd led us out of the darkness with Jokes and Alcohol.
And the one guy I wanted to hear from about this shows up when we needed him most. Love ya, Andre!
He is not the hero we deserve right now, but he is the one we need.
I felt this comment in my bones.
I agree and his little serious moment at the end damn near made me emotional which isn't easy so that says a lot
"I feel like Tiana is white Disney fans' 'I have a black friend' " LOL! Thank you for being real and still being entertaining. Love you like a play cousin!
Great to see you back and a powerful yet funny video. Classic and new Andre and I'm here for it.
How you doing Lamarr
hi
Ah yes.... your verified
"Cause I got friends on the wa-a-ter slide...."
Jokes aside, it's good to see you and know you are holding together as best you can. Stay strong, man. The world is losing it's goddamned mind right now so we all got to do what we can to keep ourselves healthy enough to get through it all. This was a difficult subject and you handled it very well.
If they're gonna change the ride to princess and the frog Dr Facilier better be front and center with his little hell minions and everything. THAT WOULD BE COOL.
Keith David needs to be in the ride.
Imagine they'd have to after all. . . ~"He's got friends on the other *slide*."~
Valentina he won't be...neither will ray ray . it's gonna be a sequel of sorts picking up right after the big wedding kiss.
Yessssssssss
Oh god have him do his voodoo magic right before the log plummets? Perfection.
To be honest, splash mountain would've been replaced eventually. Most people don't even know what Song of The South is.
I had someone recently tell me it's quite well-known among black Disney fans. I don't know if that's true, but if it is and they're happy with the change, it matters.
@@PixelatedH2O It really doesn't, most young people haven't even seen the movie
The moment I learned what the movie was about, I wondered why Disney would still have that ride there.
From a marketing standpoint I never wanted to go on splash mountain as a kid because I wanted something recognizable, they’re smart to change it to something kids know 🤷🏻♀️
But everyone knows what Splash Mountain is. That was it's REAL legacy.
When you see Andre drink, you know shits about to go down.
"White Disney fans use tiana in the same way they use 'I have a black friend'"
Somebody said it!!
Facts
Yup, sure did...... Cuz comments like that dont contribute to us being separate instead of whole whatsoever 🙄
That was so awesome! I really need to see that movie. I don't keep up with Disney enough I think.
@@patrickb1439 Truth hurts
@@jazzphotos huh? MY truth or HIS truth?
Always a good day when Andre uploads! Keep up the great work my friend and spreading positivity 👍🏻
3C FILMS!!!!! Love your vids
Have y'all ever done videos together? Would be awesome to see.
Hoho is that all you got
I always hoped that they would have actually put Tiana's restaurant in the parks
Exactly!, I wanna try that gumbo with a couple of shots of tabasco
It is actually there on the cruise ships, they have a Mardi Gras show while you eat and everything, it's pretty cool.
A restaurant is coming called “Tianas Place
@@imaginatenation3697 that's what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure
Oh my god, a dark ride featuring Dr Facilier, just entirely focusing on the visuals of his dark magic and what Prince Naveen sees while changing, would be super dope.
Make use of that black light neon paint phenomenon.
I would love that too, but reports say it takes place after the events of the movie. It's good to have Tiana and Naveen in human form and i'd love to have Facilier back. Time will tell
Andre, your speech at the end was so beautiful and just absolutely heartbreaking. Hearing your own personal experience about this is just so awful to hear and we all greatly apologize to you for your experiences. You have shown me that being a grown man doesn’t mean that you need to stop having fun and expressing yourself through what you love. You’ve been someone that I’ve looked up to for so long and the fact that you’re in very clear pain hurts all of us. You matter to us Andre, black lives matter forever and always
Damn right.
Black lives matter. All lives. Matter.
@@awesomedude5558 All lives matter, but not all lives are being subject to a major degree of systemic oppression
*Insert comic about house on fire here*
@@awesomedude5558 You don't have to say all lives matter - by default you're saying that when you say black lives matter. Matter is the minimum. When something matters, that means its "worth existing." The fact that saying "black people are worth existing" causes so much outrage proves why it should be said and eliminates the All Lives Matter argument from the equation.
@@awesomedude5558 Honestly, that's just bullshit. All lives don't really matter in every context. For instance, while shameful we allow the conditions for mass shootings to happen on a daily basis, no one is holding protests if police shoot down those perpetrators because that's a clear case of actually defending the public, and using proportional force. When the Police asphyxiate innocent civilians, ignore complaints of police brutality, and most importantly cover-up the crimes, then yes, people get upset. To say the least.
Oh when he gets the beer out, you can tell this is going to be a serious video. Stay safe Andre.
Honestly, hearing you vent like that at the end was nice to hear. It’s cathartic to hear my favorite black creator just talk plainly about the state of the world right now. I’m really glad you left that in.
I myself am black and I would have to disagree with what is happening. I would understand and agree from a live action sense, don't need another prince of Persia situation/ with white people darkening their skin.
But the beauty of voice acting is that. Who someone is doesn't matter, if they are able to bring life to a character with the presentation of their words.
And I would be on board if the character was trying to represent something of black culture in their character, like Huey from the boondocks or Miles.
But ultimately I don't agree with this , in the long run it may do more harm than good. And prevent Black Va's from doing other ethnic characters.
I think, what should happen, is more openings and auditions should be held and open to many people, but don't change characters who already been casted.
This is what kinda makes VA different from regular acting, In regular acting if you wanna hire a different ethnicity, you can bend the character to the actor. But in Voice Acting, You have to bend the Actor To the Character. If the character is not black but the actor is that's not a problem, so long as they can do an old man voice.
I get where you are coming from and I agree to an extent (as a black individual myself). But there are a lot of creative and talented black actors that get passed up on/not even considered for these roles. It is a nice start having studios at least consider black characters to have black voices.
In a perfect world it would say this is stupid, but to fight this change is allowing systemic diversity issues to continue. If I saw more examples of black voice actors doing all sorts of characters I would love that. I definitely hate the idea that black voice actors will only be seriously considered/ sought after to play black characters, but maybe getting a foot in the door can lead to more diverse casting opportunities.
I think as long as they aren’t using obviously exaggerated features in the voice, I don’t think it matter who voices
I could not care less who is voicing my favorite fictional character I want the best actor possible regardless of race or gender or anything I think the most talented person available
@troy callahan I can't think of a single case where a Black voice actor is playing multiple roles including white characters but I can definitely find the counterfactual. Again, Ideally what you said is great. It is just that reality of hiring doesn't reflect that ideal. Typically with voice acting, they hire a lot of the same people. Sometimes they use references from characters voiced in other series to inform hiring decisions. The issue is that this perpetuates the same inequality (whether that is intentional or unintentional doesn't matter). I am not in the industry myself, but it seems pretty well documented. The best choices for roles can't happen unless you evaluate everyone equally and fairly. Typically it isn't about talent so much as lack of opportunity.
@@corywashington9580 i think its a more "star power means everything" deal rather a race thing. Everyone keeps mentioning Cree Summer for example, but we know her name. That's not something many voice actors can say. I guarantee if the choice was between her or an unknown of any other race, more often than not they'd want her cause shes proven for decades she's skilled but also, shes been at this for decades. Ppl grew up on her voice, the name will be a big draw. I can name more black names in the industry than Asian (which by this current trend's logic is in even worse shape considering the popularity of anime as of late) and Latino names. But in general, the reason you hear a lot of the same ppl is cause of fame usually.
And i know just said all of that, but amongst the general public at large, this job is a thankless one. Outside of nerds like us and fandom circles, no one cares who's in the booth. And the logic i used above often works against VA's. If you're making a big block buster movie and wanna sell tickets, and the choice was between Tara Strong or Beyonce, the suits won't care that Tara is a master of her craft, it probably wouldnt be an exaggeration to say she's had millions of roles over her decades spanning career and is beloved by many. But Beyonces name is more beloved 1000x over and would guarantee more hype in marketing with the general population. Isnt Scoob an example of it working against even the VA's most prominent roles? Had the full Scooby doo voice cast at this for years, ready to go and they're overlooked for higher tier celebs.
Im speaking as a black person, id love for more of us in animation (behind the booth and on-screen) and same for Latinos,Asians etc. But having white actors pass out hand me downs as PR isn't the way for me, id be insulted personally if i were in the business. And maybe location of these studios and population around them is another significant factor no one mentions to all this. It could be in many cases, skilled black actors just... Arent around or available. Not to say that its impossible racists are behind casting, im sure there are some. But then the solution would be to root THEM out not any actors who are just doing their job.
Andre, not to get serious but you have personally taught me so much about Black people just by being yourself. By talking about the things you love, you were one of the first Black people in media I ever saw who wasn’t an athlete or musician, who talked about nerdy stuff, and who taught me how truly devastating stereotypes are. Thank you.
God damn Andre you somehow fit laughs and real genuine commentary within just a few seconds. Glad to see you back stay safe in this crazy world!
This issue should be about providing more opportunities for black voice actors rather than replacing non black ones. The objective is to increase the variety, not limit it. I appreciate the creativity of anyone that has talent to offer. This approach is bizarre considering your own point about Kristin Bell.
Exactly
You're exactly right.
Finally! I've been looking for a reasonable place to discuss the voice acting thing.
Disclaimer: I'm Latino and I'm aspiring to be a voice actor someday. I've listened to interviews in the past where DiMaggio, Paulsen, West, Kenney, and so many other greats in the industry talk about the beauty in the craft being that you don't have to be a looker to get the gig. That looks don't matter. I LOVE that. Of course, all those dudes are white.
It should be on Hollywood, writers and casting directors to not only hire the best people for the job, but to also EXPAND their casting pools to be more inclusive.
I'm Latino but I sure as shit don't sound like it. And what does that even mean? Don't tell me you haven't heard Childish or Logic rap about not SOUNDING black enough. I wouldn't want to be limited to roles that probably wouldn't be written in the first place. Like, I want to be the one to voice Kaine Parker should he get written into Spider-Verse or the games. I want to be to Kaine what Kevin Conroy is to Batman! I want to do anime roles and THAT'S a whole nother issue.
Basically I'm all for whoever voicing whoever. But I feel that the onus is on the industry to allow more voice actors of color in in the first place.
Well to bad you gotta voice your own race that's Hollywood for you
@@Emerald_Knight My dude, you're not thinking 4th dimensionally. Nothing happening is set in stone.
@@ecram1120 well I hope you get the roles you want and fight back against this nonsense.
Totally agree! I think the positive is that this is at least a start for studios to diversify casting choices, but it does pigeonhole POC to only play one type of character or role.
Have your heard of Erica Mendez, shes a good example of what you might be talking about.
What do we want?
PROUD FAMILY RIDE!
When do we want it?
AFTER THIS VIRUS IS CLEARED!
Fellow black nerd here, I think a better alternative is to call for shows to create more characters of color than to pressure current white voice actors to step down. To be honest, I think the beauty of voice acting is that it's perfect for colorblind casting. Restricting voice actors based on race will just create more problems.
Hear, hear
Were they pressured? Maybe, but they had an equal amount of support from the other side to stay on as well. They chose to step down on their own. I think their choice will err on the right side of history.
"i love tiana.. but i think tiana is.... I have a black friend for disney fans" KILLED ME, oh my god it's so true.
Just started watching, and I like where this is going. It means a lot that you've posted anything at all because watching you talk about pop culture stuff is therapeutic in a way. That and we have the same hair texture and I feel your pain, I'ma just say that.
"things are made for their time" you are a wise wise man Andre
I kept mishearing "Kristen Bell" as "Christian Bale", and wondered why Andre calls Christian Bale "she".
YES! Love all you said. As a black mom working in a corporate field and raising a handsome dark skin boy I'm happy with any and every change they do. I'll be pushing for more and more rights for so my son (and me) can have regular adulting and relationship problems without as many black struggles. Thank you for sharing and saying how you feel Andre. We right here with you.
At the end of the day, we all have one real question on our mind...............................what the hell does all of this have to do with police reform?
Nothing
Nothing at all
Are we are forgetting keith david? That dude's voice is god like.
I generally hope you're doing well, Andre. You bring a lot of joy and, gawd knows, 2020 freaking needs it. Strong media evolves, same goes for people.
the last 2 mins are such a powerful thing and it makes me sad that these things are still happening when they shouldn't be. Thank you for what you make Andre!
I have always wanted a Princess & The Frog Ride for a long time.
I’m okay with Splash Mountain changing.
The least popular Disney movie in the last 20 years.
@@AnimeBronx thats...not remotely true.
We have:
Chicken Little
Meet the Robinsons
Home on the Range
Cars 2
Dinosaur
All the Disney DVD sequels
The Wild
Bolt
Mars Needs Moms
Planes
Good Dinosaur
All movies in the last 20 years less popular than P&tF
Or have you just not seen many movies?
Yup! I’m not a fan of Splash Mountain at all so I’m totally fine with it.
I just like how people are just giving in to a massacre to a perfectly fine attraction . The old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
It’s so refreshing to see the character of black nerd take a step back and Andre take a step forward at the end. It’s dope to hear your experience and what your going through. I’m sure it’s hard to put on a happy face when all this is going on. Much love man, we have a history of getting over the other side and we will on this too.
On the voice acting thing, I kind of both agree and disagree. On one hand, I'd love more black voice actors, but on the other, I think its also important to hire the best candidate for the job, rather than hire for skin color.
There is white characters voiced by black characters. Better to fcous on the best candidate for the job..
The reason blacks are the minority in voice acting, is that blacks are the minority in USA. Of course you can't make it 50/50. That is impossible.
I’m black and I get rejected from voice roles
What are they going to do for Kristen Bell's former character, look for an actress with that specific racial combination? You know they're just going to cast a black actress and pat themselves on the back for their progressiveness despite the character still being 50% of the same race as their voice.
Multiple jobs are auditioning purely via recording, not knowing what the actor even looks like until they're hired.
@@calebkuti7897 A lot of white don't get voice roles either. It is impossible to get 50/50. If everyone is going to voice their ethnicity. There would still be more whites than black voices roles, because the majority is white in usa.
And this is why I love this channel, because you never compromise your blackness for your nerdyness and I LOVE THAT!
HES BACK!! And thank u Andre for using your platform to spread awareness❤️
Thank you.
@@BlackNerdComedy now that we've done something about that....now we need to March against bad movie reboots
@@BlackNerdComedy i used a black crayon as a kid.what can i do.
Anyone crying about Splash Mountain changing and "waaah, my childhood!" are LIARS. NO ONE gave a crap about the inside of Splash Mountain. You YAWNED through the whole thing and were like "Where the hell is the drop!!!"
I was always invested in the story and I watched song of the south growing up because my parents thought it was important I didn’t really even like the drop because my reaction was “awww it’s over”
Please calm down and let people have their own opinions.
Dude, you’re OBJECTIVELY wrong.
It’s the same ride tho, they are just changing the inside to be more interesting
You're objectively wrong in so many ways, its not even funny
Dude, that ace pineapple cider is freaking delicious right?!
Not sponsored, but yes!
@@BlackNerdComedy Ace PR department contact this man!
@@BlackNerdComedy Pineapple Beer? Man,you live your best life.
It's amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it too. Just so you all know.
@@BlackNerdComedy I think this is a better retheme I had plans in 2019 for Splash Mountain to be rethemed to ZOOTOPIA or ICE AGE but a Princess and the frog log FLUME ride is a better retheme and when will the retheme open
This was oddly the best take I've heard on these issues. I'm trying to figure out why I enjoyed this video so much, and I do always enjoy your work, but this was necessary. I felt this in a different way. The way you mixed comedy and managed to seriously touch on these issues was great. Much respect Andre!
When andre found alcohol: "let's make a black lives matter video."
Actually, hearing "Friends on the other side" on the log ride sounds pretty lit.
One of the best-animated shows of all-time Samurai Jack a Japanese dude, voiced by a black male Phil Lamarr. Perfection!
Also he was the perfect green lantern!
I guess it’s only racist when white people do it.
Darth Vader, Samurai Jack, Shredder.... Cartoon/live action characters are their voices.
It's getting dumb out there Ruby Rose was not gay enough and Will Smith was not black enough to play certain roles it's called acting for a reason
@@TBustah well white folks are the majority here , so yeah.
@@TBustah Not to mention women, more often than not, voice kid characters of both sexes. Which is fin, bc it makes the voice more believable and they have better acting skills than kids? It would be a shame to have all kid characters voiced by a kid. Many movies are ruined by the quality of the acting skills of the kid: Jurrasic Park vs Jurrasic World as an example.
Very well said Andre! This was a true video spoken from the heart. You had your lovingly jokey bits but when you got serious, YOU GOT SERIOUS. You’re a really nice person and feeling all the crazy bigotry boiling up in the world must be a real challenge. As your fans we love you and stand by you in these times of need. You’re a real gem.
I'm glad I'm not the only Blerd who used to watch the Duke boys! Daisy might be the only one who makes it past the cutting room floor!!
Blerd?
I love that! New words are dope.
Cool word, not new though
I loved Dukes and Hazards
Oh no, she's gonna get cut too. Daisy Duke sexualizes women and plays 2nd fiddle to Bo and Luke. Can't have that.
Whew saw that fire come out near the end. Much appreciated to have you speak out bro.
That ending, though. *Felt* that one in my heart, for sure.
Glad to see you back, and I'm looking forward to more awesome content~
I'm mad that people only say phil Lamar and cree summer when their are so many other great black voice actors
These changes got mixed feelings for me.
Mixed feelings for all, my friend. But hope the point got across that it's minimal in the grand scheme of things.
@@BlackNerdComedy I understand, this topic has been a hot topic amongst me and my friends.
Meh, I'm all for it. The only thing I'm not *fully* on board with is the Cleveland thing, but that's just because he has a very distinct voice. But I don't watch Family Guy anymore anyway, so it's all good.
@@TheRealDanTheManYT The Cleveland one is what got me.
Love ya Andre.💙
And heck yes to the Facilier tunnel- oh my gosh I got chills when you said “are you ready” best Disney villain song imo. I’ve never been on Splash Mountain in my life but I will brave that drop at the end for this. Please Disney make it happen!
One of General Lee drivers became Pa Kent eventually, he can't be racist. Man I hope as a Peruvian I can make that joke
Thank you!!! I’ve been watching your old videos all day. Love your perspective!
The ride changing is nothing new. They do that all the time. Personally I would prefer they add a Princess and the Frog and keep Splash Mountain the same for a lot of reasons. As for cartoon characters, it should be open for the best person for the job regardless of skin color and doesn't matter what they look like on screen. At the end of the day it's pandering imo and doesn't solve the real issues. Everyone, including black folks, should all feel like we can live our lives without being looked down upon for our skin tone and be properly protected by police when needed. I'm sure some may disagree with that, but I wish we could all get along and enjoy life.
RodimusPrimal I agree BUT I love princess and the frog so I ain’t complaining
@@lemonadecrushedice I love that movie too. I like the idea that they are finally making an attraction for it too, but I'd rather they ADDED a ride instead of re-themed an existing one. Especially in Florida where there's a lot more room for it since Magic Kingdom needs more rides anyway.
RodimusPrimal I never knew you were a fan of Disney or Andre considering your channels focus on transformers but I think it shouldn’t be a big deal if a black or white person voices a character equality can only truly happen if people stop seeing black and white and start seeing humans
@@Jethammer117 I've enjoyed Andre's content for a while. Some more than others and I've met him at Retro Con back in PA in 2016 as well. My family have been big into Disney for quite some time. Transformers will always be my main thing though. As for voice talent, I totally agree!
I loved this. You know shit's serious when Andre gets serious. People need to hear this.
I laughed aloud, kind of uncomfortably, so many times during this video. I think that's how you know you did it right. I think everything you said was totally spot on. Especially when you brought it home at the end. I too cope with jokes and alcohol. And right now, I feel like that's all we've got. Thank you so much for continuing to bring us great stuff on your channel, and I hope you're doing well in spite of everything that's going down.
About voice acting I will only say that is dumb, people should not care who voice the character, but that the voice actor can bring to live the character.
I agree with that whole statement. Anyone can voice anyone as long as they bring the character to life and have what's needed for the role.
In a perfect world, then any race should be able to do any other race's voice, but as things are right now, only white people are cast for black/poc voices, and almost never the other way around. Add to that, there is a lack of black/poc representation in cartoons already (especially main characters).
This is much needed insight on a nation that's doing everything else but provide what's really important.
I just hope that someday we live in a world where the color of your skin/how you look doesn't dictate what/who you are or what you're able to do, it doesn't matter if I'm white, black, pink, blue, or green, or if I'm asian, indian, or german...
I just want to be seen as... Me... As who I am....
Maybe one day things will change.
The way Andre is discussing this is the way it should be done. He’s being calm, he’s not talking down to people, and he’s presenting good points.
I find myself so torn on this issue. Becuase I find myself kind of on both sides of the argument.
I'm biracial - part Black Carribean, part White British. I've been fairly lucky in my 43 years to not get huge amounts of racism pointed at me but I also can't say I've never been affected by it.
So there is a part of me that is glad that these issues are being addressed. That a character with my skin colour now has a greater chance of being played by an actor with the same, or similar, skin colour.
But then there's another part of me. The guy who has loved animation since he was a kid. The guy who gets very, very, attached to the voice portrayal of a character. The guy who has never managed to accept replaced voices in cartoons, even if it's down to something like the unfortunate passing of an actor. To me, they rarely ever feel like the "real" character after a change in voice actor.
Even 30+ years on, there are some characters who I'll still only rate the earlier seasons' version. (Real Ghost Busters' Pete Venkman, I'm looking at you!)
That's not to say that these current actors stepping away from their old roles isn't the right thing to do. But I'm sure that if I had a favourite character whose actor stepped away for this reason, I know I'd regret the necessity just as much as I accepted it.
It's an important step but, like most medicine, a bitter pill for some to swallow. However necessary.
Jesus its felt like years since I’ve heard from Andre😂
I'm shocked Splash Mountain wasn't changed years ago since Disney won't release Song of the South. It's weird to have such an iconic ride themed after a movie kids (and a lot of adults) have never seen. With voice acting, I hope the changes make space for more awesome Black voice actors.
They should NOT quit doing the voices of these characters!
The characters need the right sound and I do not care what color the person doing the voice is!
Are men going to stop voicing women?!
Are women going to stop voicing boys?!
That would be HORRIBLE!
Your right about the need for equality though!
This shit is getting out if hand
I find it funny that most of the comments from other videos that I have seen people are upset about the Cleveland Brown thing and I get it. Dude has voice Cleveland Brown since the 90s but let's not forget a few months ago when Warner Brothers was actually thinking about casting Michael B Jordan to play Superman aka valzod or the talk of The Little Mermaid being black the Internet dang near exploded. I personally believe it's a shame Mike Henry should continue being Cleveland brown, but with that same breath don't get butt hurt when Hollywood recast a well-known character and makes them black! isn't that the definition of equal opportunity? Andre you're awesome keep doing what you do!
Urgh it’s so refreshing to hear your opinion on this I 100% understand the tianina thing
Thank you for mentioning Tiana was a frog for 99% of the movie! I was in my twenties when Princess & Frog came out, and I didn’t see it until I had kids. I finally got to sit and watch it, and she goes from black woman to frog in the first five minutes of the movie, and doesn’t turn back into a black woman until the last damn five minutes of the movie! So much for “black Disney princess” movie! Music was fantastic though! Keith David is always a delight.
One of the important things about casting a black voice actor for a black role or any person of color who voice a person of color they relate to can give the writers insight on how those characters can be portrayed and react, making them more likable, realistic, and relatable
Thank you for getting so deep into this, your voice needed to be heard
The Simpsons has been on tv for well over 30 years, and y’all just recently decided that Apu was offensive ?
Well actually alot of Indian and Asian Americans have said for years how apu is racist. But you probably had the privilege to ignore those voices. white fandoms always screech the loudest whenever someone is criticizing something. And then people who aren't Indian/Asian american tend to agree with them or just dont listen. It happens. Social media has been a tool to bring those voices to the forefront so you can notice them now more than ever than when you didnt hear it because you could ignore it.
Ryan Brown its just one person that complain about Apu.
Go check out HotDiggidyDemon, he's got a GREAT video on the matter. You have a great point though, all of this was fine decades ago, it's just now suddenly it's a problem because so many people have been conditioned to have skin as thin as wet paper when it comes to anything. "White people shouldn't voice Black characters." One of the cardinal rules about Voice Over is that ANYONE can voice ANYTHING, their appearance does not matter in the slightest and the amount of actors that have various skin tones is irrelevant. There shouldn't, isn't, nor ever be a quota of skin color, ever.
@@ladyaema or, people didn't care about a lot of this stuff till recently?
@@MoojinBoi well people who the racism didnt effect. They didnt care.
Thank You for taking a pause for the cause Andre. I felt every word.And for the 337 people who disliked the video and message yall can go kick rocks!
Sometimes it's cheaper to hire one person to voice several different characters. Can you imagine having to hire an Indian guy just to voice apu? I don't think apu will exist anymore.
Very well put Andre. Thank you for being transparent as always!
I would have changed the ride to a Zootopia theme. The log ride could be like the monorail passing through the different biomes in the movie, and you can keep the animal theme of the original ride.
Andre I feel for you dude. I am hoping things change for the better and it appears to be heading that direction. Keep your head up! When I heard Mike Henry was stepping down from playing Cleavland, my first thought was "Azerrz for Cleavland or no-one."
Honestly I wasn't even thinking of "I've got friends on the other side" for that ride. Now I'm kinda hyped.
Andre, glad you're back doing content. Been worried about you and missing your content! Thanks for being awesome!
Kevin Michael Richardson is already in the Family Guy cast as Jerome. He could take over the role.
Not a bad idea
I could imagine Cleveland sounding like Shredder from tmnt 2012 lol
Could also bring in Craig robertson who also voiced freight train lol
Actually Kevin does voice Cleaveland jr so off the theconly he does voice cleaveland
How about Michael Richards as Cleveland
My man Andre out here dropping gems!!! Especially about that Princess and the Frog 2 notion and the monologue at the end! Thanks Andre!!
Andre: Proud Family ride
Me: *Nodding my head like a ret@rd*
I appreciate you sharing your heart on these issues going on right now. Sharing your personal experiences with us is so impactful. Thank you!

Andre! Thank you for this video, this is why you’re one of my favourite creators love you man thank you for not shining away from this subject
I think that the changes with having more People of Color voice non-white character is good since it could allow for more opportunities for People of Color to become voice actors. I hadn't heard anything about Splash Mountain, but turning it into a Princess and the Frog ride sounds pretty awesome and I've never been to a Disney theme park. That being said, I agree that these kind of changes are minimal compared to what the protests are actually focusing on and want to change. I do ideally hope that these kind of small changes lead to bigger ones, but voice acting and theme park rides aren't as important as ending police brutality. I hope that you stay safe.
Andre, so glad you're back...been worried about you. Good to see you back doing content, thanks for the links and your amazing content!
I appreciate how you handled this Andre, it's some serious subject matter but we all need to at least know what's been going on. I and as for many hope we get some positive changes moving forward, may you have a wonderful Andre and stay safe out there. 🙂
Police suppose to protect African Americans and jobs suppose treat African Americans right and fair. Like you said, "Black people can just stop having a harder life all the time because of the color of their skin and because of existing." "We just wanted to live their lives without fear our lives in danger just for being us." "Police suppose to protect us and we shouldn't be afraid of them." "Jobs suppose to treat us right when we do work." "Enjoy public places like every Americans and should not feel someone is going to attack us just for that, just for existing." I totally agree with you, Andre. I love you, andre and you're amazing and incredible TH-camr ever. I hope you're be alright and have a nice afternoon. 😘🙏🏽👍🏽✊🏽❤💖😍🙂☺😀😁
Hey Andre, have you ever heard of this show called Drawn Together? It's about 8 different cartoon characters living together in a reality TV show setting. They had an episode about the racially insensitive depictions of black people and other races in older cartoons. And it had a good message about how we shouldn't censor these cartoons because to act like these cartoons were never made, would be the same as saying these prejudices never existed... and that's just a dangerous.
Andre actually has watched Drawn Together, and it’s one of his guilty pleasures!
I’ve been watching this channel since I was like 12 I’m 18 now...Andre feels like someone I know personally, even tho I don’t really, but he does.. this shit...hits hard man
Andre's back in town! You're still rad!
Thanks for this video Andre. You didn’t have to talk about it , you don’t owe us that , but we appreciate it a lot . Much love , mad respect!
That badge check... it's comically real.
The disclaimer is the way to go; I’ve always respected the Looney Tunes shorts for having those disclaimers especially when it was Whoopi doing them on the... blu ray remasters I think (maybe DVDs)
That Splash Mountain has had it coming. I seen that coming. Well, I got to experience the ride before it was gone.
For a looooong time
If I’m being honest, out of the three Mountain rides at Disneyland/world, Splash Mountain was usually my least favorite. It’s not terrible, it’s actually very impressive, but personally I loved Space Mountain much more with Big Thunder Railroad being a close second.
roboguy75 the Disneyland Resort has 5 Mountains: Matterhorn, Big Thunder, Space, Splash and Grizzly River(Over at California).
I usually don't like water drop rides so I'm ok with it. I'm not mad about it
Yeah, they even said they've been planning it for a year.
You're awesome Andre, you used your humor, then brought it home with a serious talk

Andre’s southern roots came out tonight lol
We're glad you're back. Stay safe Andre ❤
I cannot explain why but I needed to hear that last minute or so of this video. Thank you for using your platform and sharing your voice
Good stuff Andre. Now we just need the gaming industry to follow the rest of mainstream entertainment in the retroactive reform. Increased positive representation to counteract the many years of media manipulation, the stereotypes it’s created and reinforced. America runs on entertainment, giving legislative incentives to act swiftly
Exactly
u talk about whatever the hell u wanna talk about Andre... u get any and everything off your chest, that u need too... your true fans will still be here for u... i know i will... keep up the great work brother
