On an ordinary day, a boy named Jacob "Jake" Becker finds a strange stone pedestal on his way home from school, and upon touching it, it activates and whisks him away to a magical world beyond his imagination! Upon his arrival, Jake is found and taken in by an elderly mage named Master Eon, who tells him that he is the portal master prophesied to save both this world and his own from evil, and begins his training as he tries to find a way back home ║ Remake of a fancast for a hypothetical Skylanders animated series based on the scrapped animated show pitched to Moonscoop/Splash Entertainment in 2011. Professional voice actors only, no celebrities (unless they have done a significant amount of voiceover work and not just stuff for big budget projects), don't cast white VAs as characters of color (and please read the descriptions to see what castings I want for them), there are separate roles for 2000s/early 2010s time period accurate casting and modern-day casting so please sort your castings accordingly. Casting deceased/retired VAs in time-period accurate roles is fine provided that they were alive and active in the industry during that time period.
