From the article:
Yes, I was just wondering about the original series that they are turning into this film. It seems some have implied that her and the Rock are re-recording the dialogue for the movie, meaning that they weren’t originally returning for the series?
I remember some question of whether they were going to voice the series turned movie. I guess with it being the movie, they have the money to afford the originals.
Okay. I could see the Rock not returning for the show but seems odd that Auli’i’ would not have. I guess it doesn’t matter now lolI remember some question of whether they were going to voice the series turned movie. I guess with it being the movie, they have the money to afford the originals.
I wonder if the news that she signed on was important because Disney might have needed a new contract to use her performance in a theatrical movie as opposed to a streaming miniseries?
Yeah I would really like to know more details about this as Jodi Benson, Anika Noni Rose, etc all continue to voice their respective princesses in almost all media. It would seem odd that Auli’i would not, especially in a streaming series.
Contracts are different now than they were even just 10 years ago, especially surrounding streaming shows. And this was all before the recent strikes where actors got more equity in terms of compensation for streaming shows. So yeah it wouldn't surprise me that she didn't come back for the series, but was brought back when it turned into a theatrical release.

Still not sure why its a big deal that he is completing his recording sessions only 6 months before release.Looks like The Rock just voiced his lines….roughly 6 months before the film is released.

Except in this case this is not starting a feature film from the ground up. This is turning an animated series (one that was likely fairly far into production) that was previously slated for a D+ release and making it a feature film. So any voice work for the series done by voice-over actors would have been recorded long ago, and that would have been used for the animatics and full animation. This is a rerecording of that voice work and potentially adding additional scenes with the original actors from the first film. So again I don't see how this is some big deal that its done 6 months prior. That still gives enough time to reanimate any scenes that need to be done to make the voice sync with the animation.
ADR post-production is not the same as voice recording the principal actor a few months before release. This is highly unusual in animated films. We’ll see how it turns out in a few months!
I would agree this is an unusual situation. But I wouldn’t say that 6 months is too short to make this work. Again this is not creating a brand new film from nothing.
