he unicorn had the softest and most beautiful voice I'd heard since Ms. Brisby (whom I'll come back to later). Even though I haven't watched the movie in years, I'd never forgotten that voice. It's a crime that Mia Farrow isn't voicing more characters in animated movies. Those two annoying childish witches from frozen have HORRIBLE voices, it's so blase I wouldn't remember them the next day. The female characters in how to train your dragon, ice age, kung fu panda (why am I picking on female characters? Because I'm comparing them to a female character in the last unicorn, I'll get to the male characters in a bit), madagascar and oh my God why are each of these movies like 50% comedy?! Their voices are horrible, but then again so are the characters themselves. Mia Farrow's voice brought LIFE to the fairy tale. Then you've got Ms. Brisby voiced by Elizabeth Hartman, it lacked the beauty of Mia Farrow's voice, but it had the power of a loving mother's touch. Either one of these voice actresses would put the entire VA cast of those movies to shame.Also, the rampant misogyny in this is too exhausting to unpack today, so I'll leave it to someone else.
But in short: apparently young women with strong, assertive voices = "HORRIBLE childish witches." Funny women = UNACCEPTABLE.
Only "soft" and "loving mother"-like female voices = acceptable.
See also the conflation of beauty in women's voices with "good voice acting."
Hey, buddy, women's voices exist for the same reason men's do: to allow us to communicate and express ourselves--not for your aesthetic gratification. And a female character's voice doesn't have to be "beautiful" for her to be well-acted. (And non-soft-and-sweet female voices have places outside "terrifying" crone characters.)
Or... You know... He just doesn't like those particular voices?
I don't agree with the OP, as I think Frozen was a great movie and very well acted... But you're extrapolating a lot from his opinion. Just because he criticized the voice acting of two women, it doesn't come even close to meaning he thinks funny women are unacceptable or that women's voice is only good acting if they are beautiful.
His criticism seems very much based on extra-thick nostalgia goggles, not on misogyny. There's really no reason to jump so quickly to the conclusion that the OP is a bigot.
