“This isn’t theoretical, it is very very real. I’ve already heard AI used to get his ‘voice’ to say whatever people want and while I find it personally disturbing, the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings.”Zelda added of the strike: “Living actors deserve a chance to create characters with their choices, to voice cartoons, to put their HUMAN effort and time into the pursuit of performance.

Zelda’s comments about the use of AI on her father’s voice come after it was revealed the late actor will be heard on screen again as his voice will be featured in new Disney short ‘Once Upon a Studio’. He will feature as his ‘Aladdin’ character, Genie, using previously unheard dialogue that was recorded prior to his death in 2014 at the age of 63. It’s believed the records are being used with the consent of Robin’s estate.Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion and encourage all readers to share their views on our articles.
