There was an article in the Guardian today about The Simpsons which observed how many of the voices have gotten too old for the characters.

I'll be experiencing this as I get into more audiobooks. I was trying out one the other night for The Swiss Family Robinson. The voice was good on it but realized a few minutes into chapter one that it was a female narrating when it was a man telling the story. It just ruined it for me, it didn't make sense to me at all
