Usually kids are voiced by adult women. Tara Strong voiced Timmy Turner in The Fairly OddParents until she was 44, while he remained 10.

Actors already get residuals from reruns. Even if they use AI, I don't see why they can't just keep paying them for new and recurring use.

Peppa Pig wasn't, neither is Bluey.

It's not universal

Even if they use AI, I don’t see why they can’t just keep paying them for new and recurring use.

That's exactly what I was saying... keep paying them AND increase it for inflation
