I was hoping this would happen with this remake. For my money, hers was the best performance of 2004. I'm a bit surprised it was her, only because I didn't think someone deep in the voice acting world would opt for the pseudonym. So many family animated movie voice casts are populated with comedic actors known for raunchy R-rated material, after all.

Benson explained that because “the various projects that I am affiliated with in my career are family-based, children-based,” voice acting director Kris Zimmerman suggested that she go with a pseudonym.

That's gotta be the stupidest thing I ever heard. Just about every voice actor does adult Video Games and kids movies. Nobody cares.

Also she's been on the IMDb credits for the metal Gear games as EVA for like years

She was not credited as Jodi Benson for years.
