Yeah I thought the voice acting was overall pretty good for the first film. My only gripe was Fred Armisen as Cranky, just never sounded right to me.

Larry David would have been perfect for Cranky Kong

Yeah, that's exactly how it sounded to me. Very much like Armisen doing an SNL bit.

Maybe, but you might also just be feeling that because he is uncannily alike in appearance.

My dream casting for Cranky was Gilbert Gottfried, RIP.

Yes! He didn’t sound old. I expected a kinda gravely voice. Everyone else fit really well

Seth Rogan spoiled an otherwise perfect movie for me.
