I'm talking about when a movie first comes out, they often get some famous actor to play a character. Then, when they make a lower-budget and/or lower profile sequel, spin-off or animated adaptation, they initially get a professional voice actor to record all of the dialogue in a soundalike voice, but eventually the celebrity agrees to reprise the role anyway, leaving the career voice actor's dialogue unused. For example:
In Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Dan Castellaneta recorded all of the Genie's dialogue, but Disney reconciled with Robin Williams, who agreed to be the Genie again.
In Star Wars: The Clone Wars (movie), Corey Burton and Terrence C. Carson did the same for Count Dooku and Mace Windu, respectively, but Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson were both willing to come back.
In all these cases, the original dialogue has never been heard. Sometimes, both versions are available, like the pilot for Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Tim Allen is Buzz in the movie version, while the edited-down multi-part TV version had Patrick Warburton doing the same lines.
