Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I noticed while watching 1 this summer that Petrie's voice is lower, but initially I just thought that was cause Will ryan was voicing him. But then I saw 2and it was the same. So I figured "kay, Bennet just hadn't figured it out at this point." But then I found out that this lasts up to movie 4!

What the heck? Why did it suddenly get higher and squeakier in 5? When they used to sing together, they sounded great cause he had a lower voice. But now it sounds awkward.

On the other hand, Ducky sounds more mature after 6. Starting with 7, her voice suddenly went from typically cute and babyish sounding to a voice I really like, and the last 7 films were really great for Ducky as a result!  :D This was espicially an imporvement cause by 6 she'd become so genetic that her character was suffering. So while this was an improvement by anymeans, after her near character suicide in movie 6 it was really a relief.

Anyways, though, I don't like Petrie's new voice as much. I feel Petrie's character suffered as a result. And it's not just his voice---another thing I really hate about him is how he was unnecessarily bashing himself in 7, saying afer Ducky was kidnapped "it all me fault!!" and expressing how he carwed about her through guilt and shame. I'm a person who's felt a lot of unnecesaary guilt, and I feel awful for Petrie that he felt so guilty when he shouldn't have.

But anyways what's the deal with his different voice?

Didn't the movies get a new director or something starting with 5?  It could be that he wanted Petrie's voice to be higher to make him sound more like a little kid, but I'm not sure.  I personally liked Petrie's voice when it was deeper.

As for Ducky, I think her voice got deeper because she was getting older and they didn't want to get another actor to voice her.

I looked at the voice actor and he still was played by the same guy.

^Yeah, and that kinda shocked me. I was thinking it was still the same voice actor from the original, until I found out it was the same person.

I actually liked the change in Petrie's voice after 4. I don't know why, but I didn't think the voice was right in the first three sequels. Considering that he is a kid, I expected his voice to sound younger. Once movie 5 came around, he started sounding younger and I really liked it.

I'm glad you think that way...but aren't you at least sad that his low voice means that when they sing together it doesn't sound as good?

Note that we never saw his hatching...

maybe he's the Benjamin Button of LBT, which is why his grammar has gotten worse since the original and his voice higher.

Which would mean Petrie won't have much more time left.  :cry

I definitely think they either wanted to make him sound more either younger, more adorable, or both. :p

I agree that he should sound younger. However, his movie 5-present voice is too clearly the work of an adult putting on a high, cartoony voice, and it just doesn't work overall.

Please tell me you're joking...his new voice took away a lot of my love for him  :lol
