Doug Jones’ performance was superb (and, honestly, demonstrated that he really didn’t need to be over-dubbed in the first Hellboy film,

Actually, that was decided before he was cast, apparently. I suspect they wanted David Hyde Pierce for the voice but figured he wasn’t physically right for the role. (That’s just a guess.)

and hopefully won’t be over-dubbed in the second).

He won’t be.

Am I bad at math or was there a category left off? I only count 26 out of 36.

Oh Crap! I forgot to give a score for acting, which would have given it a higher rating. I thought I covered everything when I was doing the proofreading. (Note: having a preview for article submission would have been nice).

So, here’s what I forgot:

The acting is spot on. Doug Jones’ performance was superb (and, honestly, demonstrated that he really didn’t need to be over-dubbed in the first Hellboy film, and hopefully won’t be over-dubbed in the second). Likewise, Ron Perlman and Selma Blair were great as well. 5 out of 6.

(This now brings the score to 31 out of 42. Again, my deepest apologies for forgetting a catagory, and a very important one as well. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go off and committ seppuku.)

Very, very well, actually. In all honesty, I’d never seen him outside of the Hellboy franchise before, and I’d forgotten that he was in the first Hellboy movie as Abe. I’d thought he was a professional voice actor they’d gotten. That’ll teach me not to do more IMDB research before submitting a review. ;)

At first, I’d forgotten he wasn’t David Hyde Pierce when I watched it, actually. He was pretty good.

How was Doug Jones’s voice acting? He communicates so much with his body movements, I’m wondering how he handles being restricted to voice only. (Add to that the fact that almost all of his major roles have been silent or voiced over!)

Apparently there is another Hellboy Animated film, "Blood and Iron" as well, with John Hurt reprising his role as Professor Broom. I’m going to have to pick that one up when it comes out on DVD.
