Blue Cavern

Don't if anyone else saw that Jonothan Winters has passed away. I wonder if he had recorded voice work for Smurfs already (I assume he did some of it). Not sure if this would have any impact on the movie but hopefully that at least give him a dedication.

I also posted this in another section at the same time. Forgot to mention that he was also the voice of Grandpa for the TV series.

I was wondering the same thing, Tracker

With the movie being released in 3 months, you would assume that any acting and voice acting is done by now

Voice acting can be a tricky thing though...I would guess most of it is recorded...but there is a lot of relooping that gets done and such...I would bet some of the final track we here might be a sound alike actor....did he do the voice for the Christmas special that came with the first DVD?

RIP and I hope whoever replaces him does him justice. It's hard but it can be done as it was done in the series Spartacus when the actor playing the main character died and had to be replaced and thankfully his replacement did more than justice. Here is to hoping.
