Given the posters don't have a billing block for the actors (which are listed in the ending credits), I wonder how should we go about listing them in the infobox. Any ideas? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Without a billing block or one sheet per template:Infobox filmuse the top-billed actors from the screen credits. An alternative approach may be determined by local consensus. Looking at the film listing on Disney+ they list:
as starring which may give an idea of who Disney thinks is starring in the film. It is the first 6 names from the end credits so would be considered the "top billed" actors. Note that it doesn't match the current list which I do not know where it came from. I think the full cast in the infobox is not appropriate so it would be good to get a shorter list that matches what sources consider starring in the film. Maybe some other Disney source more contemporaneous with the initial release. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To add - the film credits list the characters first and credit all the cast and crew involved in creating each individual character and that includes voice and singing. There is another list of just the cast itself in alphabetical order. The character list is who Disney considers the main characters. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
