Speaking of, Old Skies has burning but great characters, each brought to live with a collection of incredible voice acting talents. Actor Sally Beaumont (voice of Fia) is the natural standout, bringing a playful inquisitiveness and smug authority to the time-traveling hero that's punctuated by an adorable, awkward stammering when she tries to flirt, or barely contained desperation when she's bottling up the rising feeling of helplessness. But I have to give props to the two performances that made me laugh out loud: Chanisha Somatilaka's Yvonne Gupta and Sandra Espinoza's Liz Camron. The former perfectly sells the exhausted enthusiasm of an experienced journalist trying to welcome a newcomer to the industry, and the latter gives life to one of the most chaotic and fun "I'm hot and young so consequences be dammed" characters I've ever seen even though I already know where Old Skies' story ultimately ends up, I want to replay the whole thing just to go on that journey again and once more hear those lines. Gosh, and the music? Especially the songs with vocals? Chills, absolute chills.
