I hated Rio but I’m so happy for Sunny! I like it when the girls get to do voice acting, it must be a fun experience for them and I’m glad they get to try out new things ^_^
holy crap i forgot that this article was already mention since last year but just new info updated. sigh SSF staff i don’t know what i’d do without y’all reminding me. i’m so so grateful to y’all.

I want to watch Rio 2 in Korean sub just because Sunny is voice acting! I absolutely love her voice and to hear it for a whole hour or two is just…..*speechless*
is it just for me or..
WHY SUNNY SO DAMN PRETTY IN THAT PICTURE???? seriously..
I am excited!
I didn’t really like the first Rio… but i am solo watching the second one now! Sunny Daebak!!!
That’s exciting. I can’t wait til it comes out! Man they had Despicable Me 2 out pretty fast dubbed in Korean, wonder why they are just now getting around to Rio 2. But all cool anyways. Did they have the first Rio dubbed in Korean? If they did I wonder why they didn’t use the same actress for Jewel in that one. That’s okay tho. Glad to have Sunny apart of something like this again! :D I like seeing the English version of that Koala Kid movie when I go to Walmart. I haven’t seen it since it’s in English, tho.
Rio 2 is not out yet
wahhh ~♥
Hahaha so Sunny is, indirectly, in Brazil! Sigh, Brazil is so popular nowadays…
I’m sure she’ll do a great job! Sunny fighting!!
Can’t wait to hear Sunny voices >..< :P
Sunny should be doing well for this kind of animated movie.
Didn’t Sunny already record a Korean dubbing of an animated movie in the past?
yep, for Koala Kid: Birth of a Hero.
but, animation right now well, didn’t give what we prefer as a zing
(like Wall-E, or Spirited Away, or the very-underrated(my favorite)(some critics too) Grave of The Fireflies). that’s it
