Jason Bateman calls voice acting "blindfolded acting"

Jason Bateman describes voice acting in animated films as "blindfolded acting." He reprises his role as Nick Wilde in Zootopia 2. Bateman explains that voice actors record lines individually, unaware of other cast members' roles or the full plot until the premiere. Scripts also change significantly during the animation process. Unlike live-action, voice acting lacks visual cues, relying heavily on animators to interpret performances months later. Bateman emphasizes the crucial collaboration with animators.
