The actors who provide the voices for cartoon family The Simpsons in Mexico went on strike on Wednesday.

They say the dubbing company wants to cast cheaper actors from outside their union, the National Actors Association.

The actors picketed the offices of the company, Grabaciones y Doblajes Internationales, blocking entry to the non-union actors.

"For now we have to keep up the strike there," said Patricia Acevedo, 45, the voice of Lisa Simpson.

2. something that I've always wondered about-

When watching an animated movie, like say "Toy Story" or "Shrek" that's been dubbed into spanish- like on HBO LatinO- why do they still list the American voices in the credits- when they aren't even in it, and don't give the names of the foreign voices?
