It's just been announced that Shakira will be part of the movie as the voice of the character Gazelle.

I saw the picture of her character; elsewhere on the internet, Rule 34 shouted with joy.

I pray there's at least ONE professional voice actor as a major character in this movie.
Besides Alan Tudyk, I mean.

Wait who''s voice acting in this so far other than Alan, and Shakira?

Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Alan Tudyk, Katie Lowes, and now Shakira.
I'm pretty sure Alan and Ginnifer are the only ones with voice-acting experience.

Jason Bateman, Ginny Goodwin, Alan Tudyk, and Shakira have been the only cast members announced so far. Jason Bateman, to his credit, has done voice acting in the past as well- he was Hermes on Justice League Unlimited.

And Ginny has been in at least one of the Tinker Bell movies. But seriously, SHAKIRA?
Casting Shakira in an animated movie sounds like something DreamWorks or Blue Sky would do. Seriously, can't we have Jim Cummings play a lion or an elephant somewhere? Or maybe David Ogden Stiers could play a character, they used to use him all the time...

Unfortunately, this won't stop until either Lasseter or his successor changes things.

Jim Cummings isn't hurting for work from Disney.
Anyway, I see this as little different from getting Dinah Shore in Fun & Fancy Free or Bing Crosby in The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad.

Don't forget Edgar Bergen also in Fun & Fancy Free! Or Louis Prima in The Jungle Book or Eva Gabor in The Aristocats and both Rescuers movies or Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell in The Fox and the Hound or Billy Joel in Oliver and Company or Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, and Whoopi Goldberg in The Lion King...
I could go on but I think the point has been made: Disney's been using celebrity voice actors for years and there really is no difference between this and previous instances.

Indeed. Most Disney films have a good mix of veteran voice actors, character actors, and perhaps a full on celebrity actor or two. Certainly, they don't seem to be as reliant on A-List names as DreamWorks animation.

Disney hasn't used a veteran as a major character in their movies since 2011 (besides Alan Tudyk and maybe T.J. Miller). Maurice LaMarche being in Frozen does NOT count, he didn't have that many lines.
Also, there's a difference between casting somebody who happens to be, you know, an actor like James Earl Jones as a character in an animated movie and casting a pop star with very little acting experience as a character in an animated movie. This isn't like Jeremy Irons voicing Scar, it's like Tiffany voicing Judy in The Jetsons Movie.

You mean like Louie Prima in The Jungle Book or Billy Joel in Oliver & Company?

Okay, yes, it's kind of like that.
I hate the "it's happened before" excuse. That's like saying it'd be okay for someone to rob a bank because somebody else has already done it.

According to Byron Howard, something is coming today. I'm hoping it's a new trailer.
