    I was kinda upset with Disney/PIXAR for not bringing back Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling due to pay disputes.

    Amy Poehler got $5 million plus bonuses… and they offered Bill and Mindy $100k each. Now, I know Amy’s character Joy is the most important with likely the most lines, but that’s a huge difference. And then you cut out taxes, pay managers, agents, lawyers… the amount is a lot less. A slap in the face.

    Would kids notice the difference in voices? Probably not. But then why hire those actors to begin with on the first movie?

      They hired those actors for the first movie to sell tickets. Once the first movie did well they didn’t need the star power. Greedy as hell to completely lowball their returning B-list actors for a movie making this much money.
