There are no Alicorns on the mystical island of Voya Nui. BUY SOME APPLES

UPDATE: Here's an audio clip I threw together!

Andrew Francis is the voice of Jaller from Mask of Light, as well as Shining Armor from the My Little Pony season 2 finale.

UPDATE 2: And now his response to the audio clip!

There are actually a number of voice actors with roles in both the Bionicle movies and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I posted this in Aho's blog comments a couple weeks ago, but here's a list I threw together:

Tabitha St. Germain - MLP: Rarity - BIONICLE: Toa Nokama (LoMN, WoS)
Brian Drummond - MLP: Mr. Carrot Cake - BIONICLE: Toa Onewa, Toa Matau (LoMN, WoS)
Lee Tockar - MLP: Sea Serpent (Steven Magnet), Snips - BIONICLE: Makuta, Pewku, Kongu
Scott McNeil - MLP: Flam, Caramel, Chief Thunderhooves, Blue Star - BIONICLE: Tahu, Onua, Graalok the Ash Bear, Bomonga, Keetongu
Kathleen Barr - MLP: The GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie, Queen Chrysalis, Hoops, - BIONICLE: Gali, Roodaka, Gaaki
Trevor Duvall - MLP: Prince Blueblood, Fancypants - BIONICLE: Pohatu, Toa Nuju, Iruini
Andrew Francis - MLP: Braeburn, Shining Armor - BIONICLE: Jaller

Am I the only one who saw that both Shining Armor and Jaller were both captain of the guard. I'm somewhat disappointed they didn't get Hahli's voice actress to be Princess Cadence (not that I didn't like her actual voice actress) so then we could get closer to the Jaller x Hahli ship we never had. JallerxHahli forever man.

Woah, I didn't even notice that!

Also, I just looked up Hahli's voice actress out of random curiosity, and it turns out she did an MLP voice too (albeit a pretty minor one), so I threw it on the list.

I find it rather funny that Snips and Makuta are voiced by the same person.

I just loved that one video where Snips was taking in Lee's Makuta voice. My sides and cheeks hurt for the rest of the day.

Also the reply from Andrew Francis is awesome! XD

Seconded. Also, great tweet response. You should frame it.

It's nice to know that these voice actors will acknowledge their fans' existence. He could have just as easily ignored your tweet, but instead took the time to respond.

Also I third that the audio clip is just too perfect. I thought his voice sounded familiar but didn't really think much beyond that.

Looks like the voice of Queen Chrysalis is indeed Kathleen Barr (Trixie, Roodaka), so I added it to the list!

I love voice actors.

Also, I've listened to that clip about 10 times now, and it hasn't gotten old. I want to watch Mask of Light now.
