Playing Disney Dreamlight Valley can be a bit like being in an uncanny valley. Hearing your favourite characters’ voices can have you double-taking to see if it’s the original cast from the film voicing the Disney prince or princess in question.
With multiple Disney IPs in the mix, it would be a challenging feat to bring every single original actor back to do some lines, but there are actually some surprise reappearances in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Even for the characters who have had voice actors not return, they still manage to pull off an impressive job. If you’re wondering who voices who, we have a detailed guide delving into each character and their actor’s credits.
